Just wondering :)

Are you asking those who believe in the Flat Earth, or everyone?

Everyone.

Something tells me self-reported IQs are going to be very questionable here.

This, I think, is the bigger problem: lack of visual-spatial understanding of the Earth.

This keeps crossing my mind as I see "looks flat to me" arguments over and over again.

Obviously so, yes.
I have made some predictions how I'd expect the result. Will be fun to see how far off my prediction is.

Intikams's IQ is 180 (He posts 160 but that's just because he's humble!)

I feel like I am almost as smart so I voted >120.  ;D

Doesn't help me find my car keys most mornings. Speaking of that, where are my car keys??

Basic stuff like, if you see a dude in camo with a bright orange vest, what do you do?

You see a very attractive cow Moose. It seem like she's interested in you. But you see a big tough bull Moose approaching with obvious intentions of claiming the cow for himself. What's the high I.Q. response to that?

The debate should be what constitutes intelligence?

An IQ is just an intelligence quotient. It's a mixture of all mental segments of a test.
This doesn't set anyone out as being more intelligent than others,  it more than likely sets out that some people have a different set pattern to how they work through life and how quick they are, mentally, to solve conundrums.

Is a person who takes 10 minutes to solve a conundrum any more intelligent than a person who takes 1 minute?
Fast leaner or fast solver. Slow learner or slow solver.
Fast runner or slow runner?

What about a person who scores 140 against a person who scores 80 and yet the person who scores 80 actually answered all the questions on one particular set, accurately against the 140 person who struggled?

IQ tests are pressure tests and have no real bearing on the ability of a person to function properly in life any less than another.

Intelligence is almost impossible to quantify. I know people who didn't do well in school but they can listen to an engine for a minute and know what's wrong with it. Or tame a horse or manage cattle. Or make a garden grow. Conversely I know others who got straight As but they wouldn't have a clue how to change their oil or even pound a nail properly. Often when someone is a genius in one area, he is somewhat weak in other areas. I suppose that's the trade-off. You can be well rounded, fairly good in all areas but not exceptional. If you are exceptionally strong in some area, you're probably exceptionally weak in another area.

Exactly.
Tests like this are designed more as an upmarket type categorization of classes rather than any real attempt to have any bearing on real intelligence.

When the test is administered in person by an actual doctor of psychology, it has some actual meaning. In context.

Internet questionnaires are a joke.

That might be true sometimes, but sure not always.
I know e.g. a guy that scores good grades at an elite university, has a good social life (and a girlfriend), is a pretty good musician that plays the violin in a university orchestra and actually is really good at a lot of sports, too.

On the other hand there are people that aren't exceptionally strong in any area but still are exceptionally weak in others.

That is not true.
There are certain university subjects where it is necessary to pass some sort of IQ-test to attend; BECAUSE they DO mean something (even if it's just the correlation between the grades you'll achieve and the score you get).

Curious that some are afraid, or dismissive, of I.Q. tests

Absolutely. That was only a suggestion as to how things may be in general. Maybe it doesn't even hold true at all. ATM it kind of seems to me like that's the way it is in general.
