What's your IQ?

The thing about the Intelligence Quotient and IQ tests is that they are pure pseudo-science. There is no way to quantify intelligence.

If you're smart enough to make your own IQ test and give yourself a big score, you deserve it.

[Spee]

Intelligence is ones ability to learn. Nothing more.


Knowledge, however, is more important than intelligence in today's society.


The result? A backwards, twisted world. School marks are no longer a measure of intelligence, but your willingness to pay attention/work ethic, and thats bullshit.


Anyone can pay attention. The truly intelligent should be able to truly define themselves, not just another 4.0(Which 3/4ths of my school receives on a 6-week basis, regularly.) Accursed 3.2

You want a real IQ test? Take the test that you need to take to get into Mensa. Out of a possible 30 questions, you need 25 or 26 to pass... I got 22.

You pea brains!

Yeah that test smacks of Lame.

I've seen a good one on the internet, but being a non-mensa canidate like the rest of you, don't remember where it is!

But for the real one here's some fun averages.

The Average Graduate student (any discipline) has an IQ score of between 127-130.
That's top 98 percentile. (that's on the WAIS standard IQ test)

Anything above 130 is ppretty rare, 1% or less (declining as the number climbs)

The Average American has a 100-109 That's the mean of testing. Anything below 85 is technically mentally retarded.

Anyone who believes they have an IQ above 160 and therefore are in the top .0001% of people on earth because of this test... are stupid fucktards.


My Fiance is a Clinical Psychologist at Colorado State University she works in the Learning assistance center where they give the IQ tests to people to determine both if they need advanced placement, and if they need meds to get through it all.

The lowest she's tested is a 98 the highest was a 137.

Now for the real fun Numbers.

I failed out of High School but finally graduated on the second try at a new school
I never went to College.

I make now, and will continue to make more money per year then 99.6% of college graduates and 97% of people with gruaduate level degrees. (by national averages according to my 2004 taxes)

Last time I took the WAIS I scored a modest 126

It's not how smart the stupid test says you are it's what you do with what life throws at you.

Because believe it or not, unless you are really in the 160+ range then no one in the real world gives a fuck about your IQ, just about your will.


/rant off.

I think IQ is total BS. intelligence shouldn't be measured with a number, on how well you can answer questions, designed by people who may not look at the world the same way as you.

I am a terrible speller, and constantly have to check how to spell words, though I'm getting better. In effect, this would cause me to misspell simple words, and certain english teachers wouldn't necessarily like that - thusly causing lower test scores, and me being considered dumber by peers, by a number.

People who think abstractly I find, seem much smarter in certain ways, than the typical person.

I've always thought watching King of the Hill was a sign of mental retardation. How ironic.

P.S. Yes, I'm joking
