Sigh...I can see you know nothing about IQ tests An IQ test, tests your ability to solve problems in a tight time frame. It has nothing to do with memory or knowledge (or spelling!). Typically someone with a high IQ can solve puzzles quicker, understand complex subjects easier and have a more inquisitive mind than someone with a lower IQ.

Jafo's gradation scale of IQ......where do you fit?

Or...

Where do you 'think' you fit?....

 

If your IQ is around 60 your nickname will be 'Drool'.

If your IQ is around 80 you'll be able to control your drooling.

If your IQ is around 120 you'll be able to create groovy designs with it.

If your IQ is around 180 you'll be so self-absorbed you'll think your drooling isn't gross.

It is unknown if IQs beyond about 140 have any extra significance......... Only aproximately 1% of the world population will have an IQ of 135 or more. Joe claims an IQ well above Einstein's.  /me not drool..........  

I scored a 106... I guess for me that is OK!

Are you retareded now, BKB? What's you're IQ.

since i've never been tarded, idon't think i'm subject to being retarded. compared to steven hocking i'm dumb. compared to .. and i'm not gonna go there.

einstein wasn't perfect. the model he proposed for the molecular structure of metallic solids in his earlier days was ludicrous - it only took 4 minutes for 3 of us 2nd year physics students to shoot it to pieces. high intelligence cannot protect us from the occasional upwelling of gross stupidity.

sign at the gas station in my neighborhood:
"SMART, CAPABLE HELP BADLY NEEDED. INTELIGINT ONLY NEED APPLY"

Hehehe! Listen to Fuzzy. A high IQ really doesn't mean a whole lot more than you got good results answering puzzles quickly. Some intelligent people score poorly on IQ tests, and some dumb people do good in their IQ test.

It really means as much as the Geek test (link) .

Just took the Emode test. 131. OK for an old dude I guess.

As a rug-rat about 10, I took an IQ test....said to be 'over 135' but not definable....so I'm [or WAS] in the 'groovy-drooler' class [post #52]...

Old Crab and his friend Pint are sitting on the porch having a brew and smoking their pipes. Old Crab pointed out his thoughts on such drivel as IQ tests and such what notisms and Pints only reply was - "I think; therefor- Ass I am." >

@ Old Crab

Time is everything... so why would time be such a factor if the whole test was not focusing on a very small part of what make someone intellegent?

I feel that IQ tests as well as many others only focus on specific tasks and abilities given a certain amount of time. What if someone is slower at doing math does eceptionally well with dance and inter-relationships? What if science was slow learner and math but once answered does better then the one who answered faster?

Granted speed and time has to be limited, but a test given under 2 hours can not speak to your total intelegence.

Not to mention the fact that the test was for that day. What if you feel better tomorrow? What if you hit your head? What if you don't like tests?

Intellegence is how you carry yourself, can ask a educated question, communicate, live, work, relate things you learn, memory, and other crap...


As you can see I am more of a follower of the 7 Intelegences theory then the memorize/spitout during a 2 hour period one.



oh and I took the test only once and after I just had... ummmm you know... relations

I just took the emode.com IQ test and scored a 131. It identified me as a Visual Mathematician.

Oh and Einstien I believe did not have much in the way of a healthy social life from what I recall...

For that matter he lacked in allot of ways... but no one pays attention to those abilities. If you can compute really fast then your really smart.

Nothin wrong with computing, but I think there are some other abilities that can solve issues just as nicely.

Einstein did not do good in Math in school.

Intelligence = the ability to learn. Or more specifically: the ability to deduct a pattern (thinking model) from a series of occurences and the ability to correctly apply this pattern to the same or another series of occurences and predict what will come next.

Ergo: social and emotional stuff nor accumulted knowledge should come into play.

Anyhow, I could start a whole diatribe (look mum, new word) on it all, but my mental pattern predicts that it will be pointless anyway and the smart thing would be too move along. Who am I to disagree with my mind?
