Well, it didn't take long for this thread to drift into mindless political drivel. Congrats, guys.

Yep. I wonder if IQ (or a lack thereof) is linked to OCD.

140 here...but lazy as a goat (until somewhat recently). Was sent to a school for "gifted under-achievers" as a kid.

I guess these days I would've been classified as a "slacker".

They forgot one:

140 and over Genius or near genius
120-140 Very superior intelligence
110-120 Superior intelligence
90-110 Normal or average intelligence
85-90 Dullness
80-85 Apple Store "Genius"
70-80 Borderline deficiency
Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness

My brother tested 140. I have always wondered how somebody so smart can be so incredibly stupid.

That's because there aren't any truely smart people in MENSA. Look around your neighborhood...there's 2 people on your block that qualify for MENSA. No matter where you are.

not so special, huh?

The smart people who want to join something go for the REAL high IQ societies.

I've heard the same Star Trek-MENSA analogy as Roux(2). To get in you merely have to be able to separate your index and middle finger from your ring finger and pinkie.

Those are the kind of people that get run over by traffic when reading a physics book.

Ever heard the expression "dumb and happy"...or "ignorance is bliss"? I see it all the time.

I don't know the exact score, but I tested high. It's not always a blessing. I'd rather have more guts like someone said earlier.

Did they give you hip waders too? They might have been telling you that you were a really smart "top civil servant"

IQ tests are meaningless.


Sides, we are all dumber than Cecil Adams. He's been fighting ignorance since 1973. What have you done?
