Guess you will have to find someone else, as I can't keep up very well.
They don't call me "Zona" for fun ya know. Remember, I'm the guy driving around with an anchor in the back of his car, never know when you might need one.
i could use that anchor to slow me down.

like i always say, don't worry about keeping up.

i'll check you out the next time i lap you.

don't feel bad, zona; no one can keep up with me.

more's the pity, cuz it's lonely out here in the front.

besides, i'll take a bag of hammers over some mensa geek any day o the week.

Anchor, brake man, whatever people call it. Never shall I take that job again. I don't belive that it is true...That two people can average to center.
You see the problem is not one of just sign or magnitude, it's also one of phase and frequency.

I've taken a bunchof these test in my time and my scores usually range between 115 and 120, This time I got a 119.

It's good to know I'm smart but, not too smart for my own good.

Sorry folks, but visual dominate tests such as this are inaccurate in about 20% or less of the population because of visual and other neurodisfunctions. Some of the most intellegent people had some sort of visual disfunction like dyslexia such as einstein, Adsel adams, Edison, Robin Williams, DaVinci, Woodrow Wilson, Andy Worhol, Agatha Christi, etc!

So I wouldn't place too alot of faith that this test is a accurate for many of people perhaps you too!

Ummmm, eglish translation please? I left my secret decoder ring at the office I'm afraid.

So does that mean that the test couldn't be accurate for people who don't have some sort of visual cognitive issue?

I believe what he meant to say was:
A II Z thinks he wrote:So I wouldn't place a lot of faith in this test; it isn't an accurate test for many people, possibly including you.

A little anal? really genius?

138, and I just hit random answers on the last ten questions before I timed out. Invalid test, not even good enough for predicting academic performance like most iq tests; IMHO just a tool for testing your ability to take tests, and possibly a dip into one's experience with public education. IQ tests, sheesh.

Eh, I know what my "real" IQ was at age 12, but it didn't help me avoid unemployment and general flakiness as an adult. Spot on concerning GPA, but no one hires you for good grades.

I'm a little too buzzed and tired to take an IQ test right now, but I'll probably take it tomorrow even though I think those tests are idiotic. I mean, I know I'm not stupid by any means, but I'm not that fucking smart. I am, however, extremely good at taking tests. I've taken several IQ tests and scored between 130 and 178 on all of them except this evil spatial relations IQ test (I don't do spatial relations) that scored me a great big 65. My average IQ seems to be around 150, but I still can't find my way around a town that I've lived in for fifteen years. Sometimes I forget how old I am, sometimes I call someone and when the phone starts ringing I can't remember who I'm calling, and sometimes I can't remember what year it is to save my life. I wet the bed till I was nine, but I learned to read at three. I would love to take a real IQ test sometime just to see what it says. I'm pretty positive it would knock my genius standing down to somewhere around the 'bright' level.

107. :oops: :roll: :oops:

Hey, fuck you alright, I've also been up all damn night with Mr. Gravity Bong, and I blew right through the test, finishing with nearly six minutes to spare, a really poor use of alloted time. Had this been an actual test with #2 pencils and all, I would have been able to go back and check my guesses, and I'm certain I would have have done much better. 110 maybe... :wink:

Intelligence is a relative concept anyway, and I've always maintained it can't be measured by what you know, it's your capacity for learning that determines how smart you really are, and your ability to adapt to different situations. I'm gonna go color now.
