Is that jealousy cologne you're wearing?

I've tested at a pretty high level. But the number doesn't really mean crap as an indicator of whether a person will be successful, or not. Hard work is hard work.

 

Now that I agree with 100%.

you guys have simply fallen for an email harvesting device. Hope you put in fake info or enjoy the spam.

spam away to that address, I'm logging anyone and everyone and you're essentially talking to a script. Don't mess w/ web dev. people on a bbs.

[Dr_Flash_Amazing]

Just kidding, Mr. Web Guy. Actually, DFA stupidly used his own address, but they haven't even sent the test results!

[iain]

don't worry, it's coming.

They don't send the test results, your "IQ" number is immediatly posted as soon as you fill in the information required. DFA, be honest, you didn't even take the test did you?

So, a guy goes into a store and sees a display advertising "100% smarter" pills next to the cash register. Curious and eager to be smarter, he purchases the pills. As soon as he steps onto the sidewalk, he pops the recommended two pills, chews and swallows. He instantly realizes that they look and taste just like rabbit pellets. Enraged that he's been had, he races back into the store to confront the shopkeeper. "You just sold me rabbit pellets labelled as '100% smarter' pills!" he exclaims. "See, now you're already 100% smarter," replies the shopkeeper.

Wow, we actually do have something in common.

 

And I call bullshit on Dru's 167. http://www.eskimo.com/~miyaguch/combnorm.html

 

1 in 70,000 people have an IQ score that high. I would think that would more than set you apart from the rest of the bunch here at cc.com. No offense, but I just don't see it.

 

129.

 

you may doubt all you want but facts are facts and the fact is it said my IQ is 167. and the last time i took a test in high school, it said 164.

 

i think the only thing that stopped me from getting perfect, was one of those proverb type quotes, that I had never heard before, and had to guess on. the one about the pure and simple truth actually. all the other questions were dead easy symbolic logic or calculation questions. how that is supposed to test IQ, i dont know, which is why those tests are bunk.

Seemed more efficient, and thus smarter, to just skip the test and make up a number.

actually you do have to know a bit about biology too! like knowing that a kangaroo is not an ungulate. i'm wondering how many people answered "mule" to that cause its the only sterile one though. seems to me if you were from an agricultural background you might answer that way.

[tomcat]

You got lucky and guessed some shit then .. no way is your IQ 167.

Ooohhhh, looks like someone's threatened by Dru's score!

 

Take it easy, tomcat, it's OK that Dru's IQ makes you look about as bright as a coconut.

OK I now question your score too. DFA, you are poop.

[Dru]

fact is all those questions were easy, the only one i guessed on was that pure and simple truth one.

 

you don't know me so how do you know im not a genius smart ass? is it a knee jerk reaction cause i oppose your stupid war? worried that any smart person would do the same? though so

4 legged answer is too simple... they are all also hoofed except kangaroo, and mammals where kangaroo is marsupial, all these facts together combine to make them more similar to each other than to 'roo. also, all are domestic (they have deer farms and wild horses but you know what i mean), whereas roo is still undomesticated.

nothing wrong w/the simple answer, dru. simple minds, etc...

i just didn't want to unscramble the word....laziness prevails!

[Dru]

well, if instead of deer, tiger was on the list, what would you have chosen then? i still would have chosen kangaroo, but its a lot more open to argument in the latter case, on account of the tiger being carnivorous and the roo herbivorous... however by cladistics, tiger is placental hence evolutionarily closer to horse than to roo...

 

in fact, if it was tiger, donkey, pig, roo, rabbit or owl, what would you have guessed then? would you have realized it was the characters from Winnie the Pooh?

[RobBob]

I don't score quite as high as dru, but over the bar, let's say. I didn't find those questions very hard either...but I did do the test slower than I did the last IQ test many years ago. Years and years of systematic abuse seemed to have only slowed response time, thank goodness. Seriously, I'm not surprised that a number of you would score very high. Look at the selection process: Working at a computer/have figured out how to dick off and make money too/post to spray because they are clever smartasses who like to spar/took the IQ test because they knew they scored high in the past/etc. It makes sense.

[minx]

sadly, the same thought occured to me. clearly triggered by the presence of the roo and the mule...although wasn't eeyore a donkey?

 

 

[Dru]

yeh... did you know that mean IQ scores have risen every year since they were invented? numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain this but none of them have been proven... however Sheldrake's "morphogenetic field" hypothesis has not been falsified yet either.
