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>

If you really want to be helpful, introduce me to a gorgeous blonde. An available one, if you please, and no, golden retrievers don't count. Attractive brunettes and cute redheads accepted at par.

It's not that you're getting dumber, strictly speaking, it's a combination of you getting dumber and everyone else getting smarter.

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

"Intelligence" is a highly subjective term.

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).

I like it. It's very visceral.

Makes me feel sad!

That's not an I.Q. test. That's a math. test.

Heh, you must not have done too well, then.

118. And I am not embarrassed. Actually, I think I did surprisingly well considering I had 9 minutes left because I guessed on 95% of those shape thingie questions. (okay, maybe I am a LEETLE embarrassed)

I definitely would have done better verbal.
