![]() I would be over the moon to have an IQ of 100. Even if my score “regressed precipitously” by 2SD I would still be in normal range IQ. I would be homeless without my parents support. I am really dumb and am just barely independent. Beyond that you either have the cognition to tackle the hard questions under time-pressure or you get lucky with a few questions and boost your score that little extra bit. Doing well on them is like learning a game with fairly narrow constraints: once you understand how everything works the rules remain stable and require no creativity or fluidity. The LSAT is repetitive enough that once you get the hang of the easy-moderate questions you can breeze through them on every other subsequent test. In fact, look at the post history of reddit users with scores in the mid 160s and see if you find any evidence of above average intelligence. If you have ever spoken to someone who’s scored in that range you would know your how far off that estimate is. That would be an IQ of 131 according to your formula. average, it is surprisingly low for aspiring law students, given that the average university graduate has an IQ of 111 and mostly the above average ones would pursue even higher learning.īut it could be that many people who don’t even graduate from university decide to take the LSAT just in case, including many people from low IQ criminal communities who see a law degree as a way to vindicate themselves or their loved ones: One potential red flag is the IQ predicted for the average LSAT taker is 107. Of course this data is only based a small sample of self-reported scores so this equation should only be considered preliminary. Nonetheless, a simple equation for converting LSAT to IQ is: Of course Harvardl Law students (like all people selected by a specific test) would regress precipitously on a test not used to select them. Meanwhile, the average Harvard Law student (LSAT = 173) equates to a post-April 1995 to pre-March 2016 SAT score of 1485 which equates to an IQ of 144. Using equipercentile equating, we can infer from the above distributions that the average LSAT taker (LSAT = 150) is a equivalent to a post-April 1995 to pre-March 2016 SAT score (V + M) of 1030 which is equivalent to an IQ of 107 (U.S. The LSAT scores of the sample had a mean of 164 (SD 8.03) and the ACT scores had a mean of 29 (SD 4.02). The correlation between self-reported LSAT scores and ACT scores was 0.46+ (n = 19). Here’s a thread where people listed their scores on both the LSAT and the ACT/SAT.īecause the SAT is constantly changing, I decided to focus on the LSAT-ACT correlation, ignoring the SAT.
