Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The IQ yardstick is pretty basic, 100 is standard. But anyone´s IQ can go up and down wildly over a few days of testing. It´s not a permanent, fail proof number. Mensa was started because it was thought that an organization of the top 2% IQ of the population would make perfect leaders of the world. Didn´t work out that way, so it looks like having a high IQ, all things considered, means fuck all. |

Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I scored around 145 a few years ago, probably could have done a lot better had it not been for the math type questions. Oh I can do the math, it´s more a matter of useing it or loseing it and calculators make it so easy I lost the math. I foret the actual score but I do know it was one point above average. |

Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have to remember that there have been over a hundred areas of intelligence identified, and the best IQ tests only measure about 11 of them. That being said, the theoretical average is 100 with the real life average being anything between 90 and 110. Then there´s the standard error of measurement which would mean that your "true" IQ would vary by 3 to 6 points (usually) depending on the test you took. So with an IQ of 111 your "true" IQ could be as low as 105 or as high as 117. IQ´s (scores, that is) can also be affected by whatever physical or emotional state you happen to be in at the time you take the test. So the bottom line is that your IQ is, as an earlier posted said, just an indicator. It´s what you do with it that counts, but 111 is certainly a respectable IQ (in case you have to tell your mother-in-law what you scored). |

Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It´s NOT so much what you are endowed with as what you do with that which you possess. I´ve had friends that have possessed much higher I.Q.´s than my own, in truth, I wouldn´t trade places with them for all the cash in the world for some of the issues they must deal with. |
Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The person claiming 189 is mistaken. The smartest person in the world is like at 181, Marilyn vos Savant. I´m in the 140s. Kicked out of two high schools for not giving a shit, simple vocational school degree, and I don´t work. I stay home and take care of my kids. |
