Not sure what we just watched. Kind of made me wish I had some scotch.

Looks like it accurately portrays much of the thread though.

You've never seen zoolander?? Oh you need to!

Can't say I have. Looks like a good weekend flick. I'll have to check it out.

Without knowing the actual answer key you'd have no way of knowing whether those randomized answers benefited or detrimented your score, so why is it your conclusion conveniently comes out in your favor?

It's a ridiculous concept anyway. The IQ test that they give people for extremely high IQs isn't like some multiple choice SAT test. I'd like to know what IQ he claims to have taken.

No, I know. I just think it's kinda telling that he baselessly opted to interpret whatever test he took in the most charitable light possible.

Perhaps English is not his native language? I sound like a moron in Russian.

I'm not critiquing grammar or style, but rather, content. While it's true that content can be lost in translation, the consistent low value of strawdog's posting is underwhelming, and don't seem to linked to translation.

I'm on my phone right now and so have no easy way to support my point, but I'll happily do so tomorrow when I'm on my computer.

Accusing others of lack of intelligence when you don't know them in real life is also not exactly a smart move. Let's just be happy because it's 2015 and forget misunderstandings

I didn't bring up the topic of the OP's intelligence. I'm unsure why I should not offer my opinion on what is, after all, a discussion board.

That is not to say there isn't some very bright people that are atheist. I guess that's why I'm not a atheist I have a IQ of nearly 140. I might put that chart up later.

LOL! this reminds me of a somewhat funny story, depending on your sense of humor! I was working as a student at a sweat shop in Chatsworth Ca. They made metal containers and bar/restaurant supplies. We had this kid there, also a student who was going around asking us if were knew our IQ's? I told him mine was I think 118 last I tested. Some other students working there knew there IQ's and told him... some didn't, but anyway....

So, then he starts bragging that his IQ is like Einsteins...I don't remember... 145 or whatever, and that's why "he was running the giant brake press", and making the "big money"!
It was very loud in the shop and every so often he would hold up 1 finger, then 4 fingers, and then 5 fingers to let us all know his Einstein IQ was higher than ours! I guess it was in fun... but still annoying!

Well.... as fate... or luck would have it the poor guy was taken out in an ambulance one day! We went over to his section, and there were the remnants of his 1, 4, PLUS 5 digits hanging about the 5 ton brake press! The poor bastard lost all his fingers on both hands! Smashed to smithereens!

hmmmmmm. I guess his IQ wasn't big enough. Anyway, the boss asked me a day or two later if I would like to run the brake press? I told him my IQ wasn't low enough. He looked at me strangely and walked away! I figured 1, 1 & 8 was ten digits! Plus I play the piano!

Moral of the story? Don't wave your fingers at people! You might need them! Wink

No, the moral of the story is when faced with the choice of waving your fingers at people or putting them in a giant brake press, keep on waving.

When I was a kid, I had my IQ tested professionally, and apparently I had a score of 176.

That said, childhood IQ tests are tabulated differently from adult IQ tests, and presumably, if I were to take that same test (whatever it was) now, my score would likely be much lower.

That sounds indeed crazy, in Gaussian distributions with mean 100 and deviation 15, as is assumed for the IQ scores I'm used to, there are only one in five million people with 176 or higher.
Is there a competition among testers who can give parents the smartest kids?
