Well quit whining and face it... there's no way to make money in this world without working for it. (Save me the aristocrat answers... he's a 15 year old kid) People don't just hand out money. If I had money to hand out, I would. But I don't. And not too many people do. -------------------- The critics agree! Demonslayer is "a five star hit!" raves TIMES Weekly!

1) If this is affiliated to a group you could set up a raffle. Buy tickets to win a prize. Proceeds are to help us go on a trip. 2) Second game. This is like a raffle. Buy tickets to get a guess.

150+ IQ qualifies you to genius status. I doubt there's any of those here. Hmmmm, I wonder what a perfect score on an IQ test is. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

I was tested when I was six. In the parts I didn't fail utterly (the test bored me), I think I was ballpark of 200. I continue to maintain that IQ is an irrelevant measure; it's like all tests in that doing well on it requires you to be both smart and good at tests. A genius who is awful at tests will do as well as a normal person who is great at them, which makes it an irrelevant measure of intellectual potential. Vigorous IQ tests should not have a maximum; but I think the limits are somewhere around 300 and 50. 300s only, in statistical terms, come around once in human history or so, and much lower than 50 and you generally don't have the capacity to complete the test.

My IQ was about 200 when I was tested at the age of 10, although I've heard that very high IQs tend to decrease to saner levels with age. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

IQ means nothing in terms of intelligence. But I say that only because I have a horrendously low IQ. Like, lower than most people I know.

Well, keep in mind IQ is a quotient. The average will always be 100; if it isn't, then the value of 100 needs to be changed. Thurly has told me several times that Goethe may be retroactively ranked as history's highest IQ, but that at the time there was simply less to know. How much knowledge makes you knowledgeable changes over the years. As a result, someone with an IQ of 90 today might be better at certain intellectual operations (using a computer, for example) than an IQ 200 from 150 years ago. It's simply a measurement of your intellectual skill and breadth as compared to your contemporaries. This is also why IQs often peak very high in younger people and trail off from there. If you're precocious as a 7-year-old, it's very easy to utterly outclass your peers, because the measurements are smaller. An IQ point for a 7-year-old represents much less than one for a 27-year-old. IQ is not a raw measure of intelligence. Such a thing is probably not possible, because it's extremely difficult to measure intelligence in a way that accounts for different fields of expertise. In addition, tests can never show how well you apply your knowledge to life. Genius isn't really properly measured with IQ, either. Genius doesn't mean "really smart" -- it's not an incremental change from regular intelligence. Most definitions of 'genius' include the concept of creativity. It's not enough to know a lot of stuff. Genius is a trancendental skill which, combined with sufficient knowledge, has great creative power. To be a genius, you have to create, not just know. I've never taken an IQ test, but I know a lot of people who have. Often, it results in 17-year-olds who, even though they're in remedial math, are still convinced they're great intellects because they scored 150 in pre-school.

On what basis do you proclaim that Emode is the best? I know the site makes the claim, but I wouldn't trust a company's own advertising, especially on such a subjective matter. Furthermore, I hope the rubric given isn't from the site. IQ tests don't measure your intelligence relative to everyone, you see. It compares you with others of your age. (That's the quotient part: mental age divided by real age, with real age stopped at an arbitrary number so adults don't become progressively stupider.) And yes, children are able to reach ridiculous IQ levels. Differences in development speed mean that some children are very "stupid" for their age, while others are extremely "smart." This tends to balance out as everyone levels off at peak mental capacity. —Alorael, who hasn't taken an IQ test and has no interest in taking one. If he finds that he has a high IQ, he'll be insufferably arrogant for the next few decades and everyone will hate him. If he finds that he has a low IQ, he'll lower his expectations for himself and be insufferably arrogant because he functions so well despite the handicap of stupidity. No, IQ is pretty much worthless in the real world. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I've never met anyone smarter than me that I know of. but that is because I have forgotten everyone that I have ever met. One thing that I have noticed is that I tend to do things the wrong way. That is to say, I do things in the fashion opposite of the accepted norm. For example, I work in contruction with my father, who is pretty smart. He has his way of doing things, and I think of better ways to do them, which he won't do, and doesn't want me to do. But I do them anyway. I have taken an IQ test long ago, but I don't know what I got. I was enrolled in a gifted and talented program at school based on the results, but so where some other persons who are slightly smarter than lukewarm spaghetti. I thought about seeing about joining mensa, but what's the point? I'm not really accustommed to conversing with smart people, so I don't think I would fit in. I do know that I am better at taking tests than the average person, so that would probably affect the outcome of an IQ test.

IQ tests have a short and disturbing history. They originated out of army placement testing (if you tested highly, they trained you to be a general, and if you tested lower, they trained you to be a grunt) and were adopted quite enthusiastically by the eugenics movement shortly thereafter. Maximums and minimums depend on the test. The Stanford-Benet, for instance, has a maximum of 200, my mom informs me. IQ after a certain point loses its original meaning. It is supposed to be your mental age divided by your chronological age as a percent -- hence "quotient." This makes sense for children: a child of age 8 with the supposed mental age of a 16-year-old would have an IQ of 200. But a person at age 20 with an IQ of 200 would have the mental age of... a 40-year-old? That makes little sense. Standardized testing as a measure of intelligence is a bizarre and horribly problematic measure, anyway. Virtually all intelligence tests ever designed show statistical bias based on race, ethnicity, income, and gender, among other things, but there is no evidence to show that these results on standardized tests show actual differences in intelligence. IQ tests then remind me of SAT tests, because the two are evil cousins, and I have a whole rant on them that I'll save you. Suffice it to say that I work for the Princeton Review teaching SAT prep classes, and the SAT is a horribly bad test. And the new SAT for March '05 and later is even worse. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Conversing with smart people is very similar to conversing with idiots. It is people who perceive "class", who "talk different" and judge people based on it. These people are known as damnible fools. The point of an IQ test is not what you answered to the questions, but instead, how you answer them. These "multiple choice" tests nowadays are just stupid. And besides, some people test very well, some don't. It's no measure of intelligence nor IQ. All it does is promotes adversity and pointlessness. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

I'm saying IQ tests are "accurate" they just test a wide range of things. Also I though I herd that emode was the most accurate on a news program could be mistaken though. I have always been gifted in the reading feild (except spelling) I actually got the school record on our standardized testing in 3rd or 4th grade. You could never tell I was really smart on a computer though because like alot of people we pretend we are something we are not on the internet with out knowing it. Perhaps I do well on IQ tests because I am exteramly good at useles trivia. Okay now if we could can we get to the money? EDIT: Oh and also that could add to it I have never failed a test in my life unlike my friend who chokes.
