Howard Stern
IQ: 99 ± 18
🔍 How Did We Calculate This?
Note: Howard Stern's SAT score is 870, which formed the basis for our IQ estimation.
1️⃣ SAT to IQ Conversion:
Using the formula IQ = 39.545 + 0.068 × SAT score, we estimated his IQ to be around 99.
2️⃣ Adjusting for SAT Scores and IQ Correlation:
Considering that SAT scores and IQ have a correlation of 0.8, we account for the remaining 20% unexplained variance. Assuming this unexplained variance is normally distributed, we calculated a 95% confidence interval. Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is 98.71 ± (1.96 * 9) which approximates to 99 ± 18.
3️⃣ Final Result:
Our analysis suggests Howard Stern's IQ is approximately 99, within a confidence range of 81 to 116.
