It’s no surprise that our IQ can be assessed from analyzing what we write, but it may be a surprise that now IQ can be assessed from how we type by measuring what buttons we press and how frequently we press them. Sphere of Influence has learned through their R&D efforts that certain keys on a keyboard can predict your IQ. For instance, the “space-bar” or the letter “A” are used by the entirety of the population, and thus indicate very little about a person’s intelligence. However, other keys, such as “Esc” or the up-arrow, can reveal a lot about one’s intelligence. After running a comprehensive analysis on millions of keystrokes, the data shows that frequent use of keys like the right-hand-Alt key or the tilde (~) key indicate a high probability of an IQ over 130. Buttons like F6 indicate a probability of an IQ over 140.
