Hi all!
I am male, 23 years old and no English native speaker.
My IQ is 116, measured by an official Mensa test. I would like to do a Master in Marketing at a reputable business school. (e.g. the Marketing Master ESADE offers).
Is it possible for me to get a GMAT score of 700, considering my IQ? or am I simply too dumb? I know that GMAT and IQ is not that strongly correlated, however friends of mine (who are mensa members) easily score above 700 without putting a lot of effort into preparing. And this on the other hand proves that high intelligence is most important factor for scoring high.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
Don't worry about your IQ - it's more than adequate! 116, or thereabouts, means you have above average intelligence. Honestly, if you're scoring at 115+, there should be no fundamental issues that block your path to a 700+ score.
By and large, the number of hours you spend preparing is the greatest single indicator of your future success on the GMAT. Sure - there are plenty of exceptions, but for most of us folks, it's all about the hard work.
I'm a MENSA member and it took me three months of very hard work to get to 740 (I started out around 680 when I took my first practice test). Just as having a high IQ is no guarantee of a high GMAT score, a run-of-the-mill IQ does not guarantee you a lower score.
My advice? Put the IQ issue out of your mind. Don't even think about it. Instead, take a practice test, see where you find yourself, and plot out a good strategy to get to 700.

I have an iq score around 104 nothing special. I was able to clear the 700 mark after a few months. Nothing to do with your iq...
