IQ Tests
A little while back, I took one of those IQ tests floating around on the Net. Actually the results were about the same as when I was in high school, about 140. Now, they used to say that 100 was either the average or the mean, I don't remember. But what about today? Surely there aren't many people with below 100 scores, so how could that be near the average? (At least I don't remember ever meeting people with, say, like a 90 score.) And today, I don't think 140 is all that stellar. Has there been a shift or what's the word?

there are about 4 different scales used in IQ tests. In most, 100 is an average score, but the "genius" level seems to vary from 130 to 180 or so, depending on the scale used in the test.
Irregardless, i always end up with a "near-genius" score  . My official IQ, as tested by MENSA (yes, I tested to get into MENSA) was 152, with 105 being average and 161 being genius.

Character has nothing to do with IQ....Further there are a lot of educated idiots out there that don't have one iota of common sense. So IQ is not mutualy inclusive to having good taste, common sense or character....look you could be Bill Clinton all over again... just a goof ball Red Necked chicken eating Hillbilly from Arkansas...

CJ, part of being a genius is not using words like "irregardless", which is actually more of a non-word. It is a double negative, (a big no-no for geniuses), and actually an illiterate conjuntion of most likely irrespective/regardless. Actually this is not something that would keep you out of Mensa, since I hear that they are a bunch of idiots.
I break my own rule of not correcting grammar on IQ threads.

Re: *irregardless*
Since it is great sport to trounce on one another everywhere on the site and pass it off as "having a little fun," which pisses me off no end and will eventually drive me off when I've had enough, I thought I would leave that alone. BUT, in CJ's defense, the word is listed in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary as both an adverb and adjective meaning regardless. The rest of the definition states, "a substandard or humorous redundancy." So maybe CJ beat you guys at your own game. I'm not that clever, but I remember "warm 'em up and suck 'em in." |

Interesting thread
My mother never would tell me my IQ score from the batteries of tests we endured in grade school. She felt it wasnt something I really needed know. I tried the IQ test from the above link, I did quite well. If I spent more time on the "unfold-fold" part I could have done better.. Regardless of the outcome of my taking a web based IQ test I offer the following: Quote:
