kn said: People's *stated* IQ is a lot like guys stated number of "scores" with women. In reality, it's much, much lower.
So basically, pretty much everyone on this site is apparently in the 98th or better percentile. Yeah right... Again, as I stated above, online IQ tests are worthless. Unless you have been tested properly and by a truly standardized and accepted test, you don't know your real IQ. Tickle is fun, though. I took the test and did very well but I also know that it is complete BS. |
Glad somebody said this part, but even more unless you have been tested in the last year it means nothing.
For example, when I was in 7th grade they did a bunch of standardized tests like they do at every school. After the test they asked me to pay for and take an ACT exam. About 2 months later I went to the High School I would eventually go to and took the ACT with a room full of Seniors taking it for College. I scored a 28, in 7th grade. I have no clue if I would score that well, worse, or better now. But I know they should have made me retake the test when I was a senior...
In any case they let me keep the 28 and I never took the test as a senior. Actually I skipped my senior year entirely and went to the local community college instead. I got dual credit (aka High School credit & college credit for my classes). The year after graduation I finished my associates and transfered in to a better university and have been working on my Bachelors in Computer Science which I should be finishing soon, then I plan to settle on an engineering field and hit the books one more time. In the mean time I will probably look for internships at local defense contractors and the like.
Aah yes, I hope to make cool toys for a living...so that I can fund my video game habit and buy other cool toys....somehow I think there is a pattern there =) Or as my Mom has always said, "Men are just little boys with long hairy legs." or "Men are boys with bigger toys." but I don't think either of those are hers orginally =P
