Just for fun: What's your poker IQ?
A friend alerted me to this fun test:
http://www.donkeytest.com/
The questions are stimulating, if maybe a bit dated (eg. lots of limping going on).
Was pretty happy to score 117, and consider it realistic (winner at the smallest raked games).
What's your score?
Ps. There's even the question from the Rounders movie. And sorry if this is old and known to everyone!

I can verify that my IQ correlates well with my chess and poker IQ, all about average.
I have some high talents and at least one is measured in IQ tests but my visual limitation is pretty much the bottle neck for me. My emotional IQ is about average (but I have further improved my education there and feel pretty good about it considering that emotions and social are not my talents and still doing well).
I might not be a favourite to raise up to nlh/plo100 but I will try (live like nlh/plo500), as I don't see a wall yet. If I get stuck at easier games, then I just do, being at least something.
This correlation is not fully true in all cases, as there is no chance many of the top poker players would ever be much better than average chess players, lacking the needed deeper visual skills. But there are a ton of smart people playing higher limits (but not smart enough not to play).
