Here's a fact for u (thought not entirely sure )
Einsteins IQ was about 170! The guy invented the Theory of Relativity for god's sake! And u all know he wasnt very good with "normal" stuff.
But because shikamaru has an IQ ABOVE 200 and isn a savant he is absolutely SUPER ULTRA GIGA GENIOUS!!!!!!!!&#3 3;!!!!!!!!!&#3 3;!!!!!!!!!&#3 3;!!!!!!!!!&#3 3;
I think a person like that can't exist with the same kind of brain config as we have, remember that einstein had different kind of brains than we normal people.

An average person has about an IQ of 100 +-10
George W. Bush has lower than 90 and u all know who he is.
Intelligence isnt the meter on which u can determine ur succes in life.

I myself have done several test and i recommend the www.emode.com (it's not really that but it links u directly to the place u want to go )
U can also check ur chakra strength there!
(That didn't give very formal impression about the place didn't it?)
My IQ has varied upon the test and given me aproximately an IQ of 130-145.
(im 16 and my first year in college. The Emode test gave me an IQ of 142 )

And a genious is above 150!

I don't know wtf test that was with 5-20 is average was, but id like to know more about these tests. If anyone who isn't bored by this thread already (I'm bored)
please tell me about these test.

And to the point: Shikamaru would OWN Sakura! He would come up with a strategy and ultimately beat her! Sakuras book knowledge is useless against Shikamaru ( I mean does it really help u to beat anyone if u know the the ninja classes or something as equally useless in fighting )
