Note: While I would love to facilitate cognitive testing of current language models in 2021, nearly all popular IQ instruments would preclude testing of a ‘written word only’ language model; the most common instruments from Wechsler and Stanford-Binet require a test candidate who is using verbal, auditory, visual, and even kinaesthetic… For this reason, AI labs generally use customised testing suites focused on written only. A selection of these benchmarks have been visualised below. Please see the full data for context and references.
Highlights
On SAT questions, GPT-3 scored 15% higher than an average college applicant.
On trivia questions, models like GPT-3 and J1 score up to 40% higher than the average human.

“I think GPT-3 is artificial general intelligence, AGI. I think GPT-3 is as intelligent as a human. And I think that it is probably more intelligent than a human in a restricted way… in many ways it is more purely intelligent than humans are. I think humans are approximating what GPT-3 is doing, not vice versa.”
— Connor Leahy, co-founder of EleutherAI, creator of GPT-J (November 2020)
