$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('gego', 'I') must be mentally challenged; I keep coming back to this site, plus I had to look it up to see if "mentaly challanged" was a double dip spelling error.

One Question IQ Test:

Of the following 4 items, pick the one that does not belong:

[ REPEAT: Pick the the one that DOES NOT belong! ]

A. Crab

B. Shrimp

C. Salmon

D. A Chinese guy run over by a thundering herd of buffalo

[worrier]

Took an IQ test once. I came out average, can't remember the number. This IQ test and it's result had zero impact on my life. As somebody said, for most of us IQ tests are farely irrelevant.

[peaker_2005]

I've consistently scored in the 120's, though I picked 100-120 for some bizarre reason.

Oh, it's because I haven't taken one in a while, and I'd prefer to bias it downwards (as that's the way things tend to go across your lifetime).

Oh, and brainsmarts don't prevent brainfarts. It's completely possible to be highly intelligent and incredibly stupid at the same time.

Trust me.

[SchroedingersCat]

142. Aced my PSAT's, missed one on my SAT's (still think I was right). Still assume that IQ tests are mostly worthless and that the guy next to me might have a better insight than I do for the moment.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you misunderstand the situation.

OK, here is one that stupid people screw up alot:
--------------------------------------------------------------


Think of a number BETWEEN one and ten.

Multiply that number by 9.

That result should give you a two-digit number (like 31 or 79 or something).

ADD the two digits together (Like, if you got 31, you would add 3 +1)

From that new result, subtract 5.

Now THAT number should correspond with some letter of the alphabet (Like, A=1, B=2, C=3, etc).

Now, think of a COUNTRY that starts with that letter.

Think of the SECOND LETTER of that country.

Now, think of a MAMMAL whose name starts with THAT letter.

Think of the COLOR of that mammal.


So...

Yes, its always nice how every permutation works out to four and that there is only one country that starts with a D

Other than like Djibouti, and dominica, and the Dominican Republic.

Nobody ever think of those though

I'm so smart I forgot what I was going to say....if you are so smart then you would know what I was going to say.....

I took a Mensa test a couple of years ago and got a 128. I don't know what that equates to and I really could care less. There are problems with todays IQ tests in that they don't fully measure a persons total thinking potential.

I know people who would score low on a IQ test but can tear a engine apart and put it back together and it would purr like a kitten. I know others that think in 3-d, using a set of blueprints, and an empty space, laying out duct runs, piping runs, electrical runs, ect. These people are mechanically intelligent, though maybe not book smart. They are still intelligent.

A high IQ only indicates a natural abilility to compete in certain fields.

Unfortunately "I am smarter than you" is often interpreted to mean "I am better than you".

[Tyler_JC]

How about we compare SAT scores?

Recenter them if your score is pre-1996.

And only include the reading/math sections. None of this new "writing section" crap.

Please just write the 4 digit (hopefully) score out of 1600.

1470...

[Gigashadow]

1450 (690 verbal, 760 math)

[Doly]

Only Americans have SAT scores. If you want an international comparison, you will have to stick to IQ.

I've heard that most tests are notably imprecise for scores above 150. Which is logical, because in terms of most tests, they mean getting all the answers right except maybe a couple of them.

I'm 145 +/- 5 points. Used to think IQ tests were bollocks, until my brother got it into his head to prove scientifically that I was stupider than him. After a lot of online IQ tests, the conclusion was I was very definitely not stupider, and in fact, almost certainly smarter. And to my surprise, the difference in scores between tests was smaller than I expected.

I'm not sure yet what it is exactly what IQ measures, but it certainly measures something, and that something correlates with what people commonly call "intelligence", or more accurately, "academic ability".

Anyway, we all know that being a good student doesn't prove you will be any good at any job, except academic ones. Or, more to the point, that you have what it takes to do well post PO.

[nwildmand]

well the 4 online tests i have taken have ranged from 150 - 160. i placed 2nd the national geographic bee for our city when i was in the 3rd grade beating out all but one 5th grader. i also placed 2nd in my class during my senior in the olsat test. i cant remember the score but it put me in the top percentile. the guy that beat me was also the only guy that beat me in the pizza hut bookit program in elementry school. i was a loner/loner in highschool with very bad grades. everybody thought i was an idiot. i loved shoving my olsat score in thier face and watching thier jaw drop after giving me a hard time.

i have a hard time figuring out how the hell those tests measure iq. the questions in them are to easy. i think its only for weeding out the true idiots.

mechanical things is where excell. i can fix/build most anything. my weak points are spelling and typing. i have trouble getting the right vowels in place for some reason. it is not conducive to appearing intelligent on a forum such as this.

i am also horrible at remembering names. its cost me a nice peice of ass on a couple of occasions.

just about every day i am amazed by the quality of the posters here. it does not suprise me at all the way this poll went. then again, nobody claims to be an idiot.
