You're welcome, but you should be made aware that that conversion table is simply the result of a simplistic formula that Rodrigo de la Jara came up with by comparing the SAT scores accepted as minimal requirements for various high-IQ societies with the actual IQ scores those societies accept as minimum.

She caught up with her peers within two years of being rescued and was found to have a normal IQ. Apparently her brain continued developing normally in the absence of intellectual stimulation in the dark attic.

IQ is a quantification of variance within a population. It does not sum.
IQ and alcoholism are indeed correlated. See the bullet lists "Variables correlated with g" and "Variables inversely correlated with g" at the following link:
You said xylitol "will kill all the good bacteria in your intestines." That does not seem to be the case, firstly because people who eat it do not drop dead, and secondly because these PubMed abstracts reports measurements of faecal flora after xylitol dosing that do not seem to be consistent with a killing off of all of the good gut bacteria:
All animals were capable of adapting to 20% dietary xylitol and an accompanying enhancement of the ability of caecal and faecal flora to utilize xylitol was observed.

The label says you can use it as a 1:1 replacement for sucrose, but really if you take more than about a teaspoon at one time it will kill all the good bacteria in your intestines, and that will be a very unpleasant experience.

I eat at least an ounce every day. I have eaten a quarter pound at a time in the past. I don't think I had any problems with the higher amounts other than loose stools.

WindBourne: China loses 30000 mine workers a year? You are implying that they died from mining accidents or job-related sickness.

China loses 6,000 coal miners per year at the jobsites (in the mineshafts).

Jensen's review of Gould's "The Mismeasure of Man" was published in Contemporary Education Review in Summer 1982.

Gould died in 2002.

Gould had 20 years to respond to Jensen and never did.
You asked which one you should say is your IQ. Your full-scale IQ score is your IQ score for that particular instance of taking the WAIS-III.
On which tests did you receive the scores that you reported above?

I have never heard of a standardized "verbal IQ" test. What specific test or tests are you referring to?

She caught up with her peers within two years of being rescued and was found to have a normal IQ. Apparently her brain continued developing normally in the absence of intellectual stimulation in the dark attic.
Here are more things IQ has been found to correlate with:

Perhaps you both performed equally well on the test.

Edwin G. Boring did not invent the IQ test.

being black or asian [...] has nothing to do with the ability to use the internet.
Blacks, as a hereditary racial trait, have low g-factor strengths (low IQs). Therefore, blacks are poorly adapted to the task of employing technology.
It takes less road to carry bike traffic, and bikes do less damage to the road.
That is illegal.
