I have an IQ of....

[RevolutionaryActs]

well actually I don't know what my IQ is. :shrug:

[Kire]

1. they said it was 129, but I doubt that

it was one of those internet tests where they ask for money, the results page was identical to the one my friend took

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. Yeah, I took one of those once. I don't think I trust them.

I believe it said mine was 132, but who really knows? :shrug:

[terrya]

2. Well, based on one of those online IQ tests, mine is 131.

But I take that with a grain of salt. I've never had a standardized IQ test.

[sffreeways]

4. 130

it hardly matters. Well I guess it does I'm not a republican.

[LynneSin]

5. Higher than the idiot boy king in the white house

Then again - most of here at DU are too!

[Carni]

6. Mine is 40

Thirty points higher than our resident!

[Arkana]

7. Mensa test gave me a 135

[Crankie Avalon]

8. Neener, neener, neener...

...I took the online test and it said mine was 138 and I was a "Visionary-Philosopher."

But, actually, I'm pretty much a dope. :+

[ChiciB1]

42. I Got 141 and was told I was a

Word Warrior! Kinda makes me wonder because they say you're a GENIUS if you score 135!

That is definitely NOT ME!!

[FuzzySlippers]

9. Alls I knows is mine has dropped about 40 points

since I've been hanging out in the lounge.:dunce:

[Midlodemocrat]

10. Mine has dropped about 80 points

since my daughter entered her teens. It is amazing how stupid I have become.

On a field trip last year to the Richmond, VA Holocaust Museum, (which is extraordinary, by the way), I was discussing with the obviously liberal tour guide the similarities between the Patriot Act and the conformity of the germans during WWII. Very general, no specifics, just 'hope it doesn't go too far, stuff', and my daughter said to me "Mom, don't try to act all smart".

Nice, huh? I think she would prefer if I were drooling in the corner wearing depends. (No offense to those who are)

[patdem]

11. Do not feel bad...when children enter their teen years parents become

automatically either bozos or bozetts... This was told to me by my son's and my counselor...so it is to be EXPECTED! They will know EVERYTHING under the sun till they either mature or have children of their own, which is an automatic maturation process! :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

12. LOL

There is some quote about that by Mark Twain I think, it says something along the lines about how stupid his old man was when he was 17 and then how he was amazed how much the old guy had learned in four years when he turned 21.

It is disheartening though. The only thing she really listens to me about is politics, because, I fear, she thinks I would hurt her if she sprouted RW talking points. J/K.

[Fridays Child]

13. It's safe to say...

...that the average DU IQ is several standard deviations higher than the average freepslime IQ.

[NNadir]

14. "IQ" is about as meaningful as "astrological sign."

The concept has acquired a religious meaning I suppose, but it's more or less meaningless.

[Karenca]

15. 140

I have trouble trying to explain events, etc. very often.

[Mizmoon]

16. My ex called me when he was drunk once

to mock me because my IQ was two points lower than his.

Some people get way too wrapped up in this shit.

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. Its funny really.

It has less to do with your intelligence, and more with your test taking abilities.


Although I did very much enjoy the spawn of IQ threads earlier. :D

[Longgrain]

17. Rev you have an IQ of 2

but to be fair...so do I...:+

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. Lies.... dirty, dirty lies! My IQ is really 3!

:silly:

[JohnKleeb]

21. Well Rev I have a 3.5!

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. Well we always knew you were the smart one....... right?

[JohnKleeb]

29. actually I always thought I was dumb

You know I found out what Afternoon Delight was about.

[RevolutionaryActs]

37. You mean the song by the Starland Vocal Band?

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Afternoon delight!

[Longgrain]

22. Well mine is really four...

So I uped ya one...:P

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

:P

[Longgrain]

25. Actually five...

but I didn't want to put you down too much...

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. Jeebus!

I feel so inadequate now! :cry:


:P

[Longgrain]

31. You've never gotten one of these...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2478695

Which is why I'm two IQ points ahead out you...

:P

[RevolutionaryActs]

34. Must you rub it in?

:P

[Longgrain]

35. It's your own post I linked to kid.

If I wanted to make you jelous...there's several others I could show off.

I was trying to be congenial.

[RevolutionaryActs]

36. Other ways to show off... hmm such as your art?

Damn you and your talent.. :P

[Longgrain]

38. Talent has nothing to do with IQ

If I was really smart, I wouldn't be working at a grocery store right now...

[baldguy]

20. I'm smart enough to know how stupid I am.

[seriousstan]

28. I'm with you there?

[Az]

27. There is so much more to the mind than a simple IQ

Don't put so much value in it. One of the most compassionate and intuitive of other people's thinking I ever knew was intellectually an idiot. There is much more to the mind than simple intellectual agility.

[yorgatron]

30. the smartest thing you can do is figure out

how dumb you are.i'm still working on it :P

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

32. 135 in an online test

[Taxloss]

33. 183.

I know, hard to credit isn't it.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

39. I took a battery of tests for a state vocational rehab evaluation

It was quite a few years ago, and I don't put a lot of stock in the results since I don't have any idea what standard they used. But since you asked, I guess I can brag a bit (taking it with a LARGE grain of salt)-- my "officially recorded" IQ is supposedly 143.

Go figure. I don't believe it for a second myself.

[Hillary08]

40. Love the picture!

So true about "well behaved" women.

[Longgrain]

43. You mean Revolutionary_Acts04's Sig line....

Wonderful ain't it...Rev and I are Friends.

I don't think she'll mind me telling ya...:)

[TahitiNut]

41. ... a lifetime embarassment.

:shrug: It's too high. Makes me a guaranteed underachiever.
