Kevin's Watch

Most people need both to get anywhere in life. Sure, some spend their whole life sheltered in academia and are quite successful at it, and some are charismatic and savvy enough to do well for themselves without any kind of formal education. Most of us exist somewhere in between.

But for someone like myself who grew up poor (aka, on "the streets") and made something of himself, it gets really damn old when people say, "Sure, you're book smart, but you're not street smart." I mean, when I saw other people in my classes fail or barely pass a test, do I walk by and say, "Too bad you're not book smart,"? No, that'd make me an a-hole. But the same people, most of whom don't even know me, have no problems asking me what my test score was and then giving me their wisdom on street smarts when they find out I aced it. Whatever makes people feel better, I guess.

But yeah, in a year's time, you'd be hard pressed to get someone to learn which box or number comes next with any significantly higher degree of accuracy (after puberty, IQ scores are pretty much static). But in a year's time, you can teach almost anyone how to either score or stay off smack or whatever "street" challenge you want to set up.

I still don't understand how this represents even potential intelligence.

But it says I'm smart so I'll accept it with a smile.

OMG My logical and evidential mind requires me to post evidence before I can rub it in people's faces. But when I tried to upload it to imageshack the first time my 145 BROKE THE SYSTEM.

I got a 127 right after 9 hrs of straight gameplay on the puter and an 1/8 of weed, heh.

I got 136 - on IQ tests I usually score in the high 130's low 140's

Damn, I sucked on that. Hate them sequence ones.

Scored a 133.

I have a headache.

145, which is pretty much right in line for me. I scored 143 on the Mensa test when I was 17 years old, hadn't slept the night before, and had a gorgeous blonde sitting next to me taking the test. On the other hand, in near-ideal conditions on another test, I scored 151.

Does it mean anything? Meh.

I hate IQ tests. They are the most misleading things on the earth.

950. Wow.

YOU'RE THE SAME AS ME! STOP USING MULTI ACCOUNTS SELF!

EDIT-I have "Lord Mhoram" in my avatar and you're variol, mhoram's father. Clearly we are the same person.

Haha, Welcome back FarSeer. About time.

I've been here the whole time.

WHOOPS.

It's too bad kevin's watch doesn't have the coding stuff that lets you put a slash through text.

Agreed. We should start a petition...

(And yeah...not you. )

I got 127.

I don't like this game. I quit with about 10 minutes to go, because I didn't want to drive myself crazy for another 10 minutes.

It means gorgeous blondes are distracting.

As Lord Foul said to High Lord Kevin when the latter accused him of betraying the Council and trying to destroy the land: 'No duh!'

Just trying to be helpful.
