So you don't think that out of 32,799 members we'd have 5 at 140+? 0.015%? I'd have epxected a couple more...
Speak for yourself, master of pure rubbish. I, and the vast majority of people here, have a MUCH greater ability of reading comprehension than you do - which would knock you down at least 25 points on ANY written test of any kind.
Ive no doubts about that. Ok people then, if were all as smart as we say lets stop with the useless insults, be a little more tolerant of others ideas, and have the ability to discuss information without it turning into an insult war over whos smarter. Is that too much to ask for all us 'smart' people?
No, talking about the real thing. I don't know about now but back in the 80s they were required each time I changed departments within the DoD. (Which was three in eight years.)
None of your complaints are related to folks with a higher level of intelligence - it's almost a given that they will put down the dummies. Intelligence does NOT equate to tolerance, if anything, it's just the opposite. (Welcome to the REAL world of human relations.)
I know, I am trying to change it though so its a better environment for everyone. I just want people to be more aware and not be so quick to turn hostile, I understand it can be frustrating explaining a concept to a dense mind but if your really trying to teach them something thats not the best way to do it. And if your not trying to teach them something or impart knowledge why post at all on a science forum?
How about to discuss science with others that are interested enough to actually do the work and learn for themselves rather than have it taught by non-professional teachers? Rather ask: if you can't keep up why post here in the first place?
Not accurate? What planet do you live on? Your IQ score is a ONE HUNDRED PER CENT ACCURATE reflection of how well you did in that particular test at that particular time... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
It's all you get: what does an IQ test measure? How well you do in IQ tests... and that's it. There are some supposed links that that relate it to overall intelligence etc but they're fairly tenuous. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Edit: WTF?!? Doncaster??? I'm in Scunny...
Haha sunny Scunny. I'm actually in Conisbrough, it's on the Rotherham edge of Doncaster. Good point about the tests, I'll put 130 - 139.
I was tested in the 2nd grade by a forward thinking educator. I pegged the test, I was declared 'gifted' and placed in an accelerated educated program. Until the 12th grade I honestly don't know how many IQ and intelligence tests I was given, but it was a lot. By the time I was in high school there were people flying in from out of state to test me for their PHD thesis on Exceptional Education and stuff like that. My average was around 155, my high score was around 180. On a bell curve I am in the 99.996th percentile IIRC. People here have already said it, it's meaningless. This world values persistence over intelligence, and good looks over either one of those. "For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increases knowledge only increases sorrow."
130-139? Sub 140? I don't think I'll bother even talking to you any more... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I had a stab at one the other week and got bored about half way through and clicked A for the rest. I got one 100 odd.

Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! i pray that.. everyone here is just SUPER smart... and im cruisin at above normal... be honest though becasue my confidence kinda rides on this... in a way... not totally but partially.
