Meh. 124. I think I've gotten dumber over the years. The good news is that once you've been accepted into Mensa, you never have to take the test again....
I know I screwed up some of the number sequences. And yeah, if there had been a verbal component, I woulda scored higher. <sigh>

It's not that you're getting dumber, strictly speaking, it's a combination of you getting dumber and everyone else getting smarter.aliantha wrote:Meh. 124. I think I've gotten dumber over the years.

And IQ tests don't measure intelligence. They measure pattern solving ability.

It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

My .sig is from my f***ed up life. The old adage for writers: "Write what you know best." My novel has turned into a montage of cutting and bad breakups.

Well, since IQ test is SUPPOSED to be about general intelligence, it might be worth questioning whether it's a good measure of general intelligence (instead of being a more specific kind of test, which is what I think it is).Marvin wrote:Which...is...one....measure...of...intelligence...no?Emotional Leper wrote:

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.
