Glory O. Adebayo, Roman V. Yampolskiy · 2023
Stylometry is the process of making estimations or predictions (e.g. Gender, Language of Origin, true author) based on the analysis of writing styles. The task of quantifying a person's intelligence has been a goal of psychologists from before the beginning of the century. The area of estimating IQ using Stylometry has been a developing area of research and the effectiveness of using Machine Learning and Stylometric Analysis for the estimation of IQ has been demonstrated in literature whose conclusions suggest that using a large dataset and further research in the field could improve the quality of estimation. The focus of this research is to propose a method that can be applied on a large dataset to estimate the IQ of an individual. The results obtained showed that our method performs better than existing methods when applied on a large dataset
