IQ matters

[beew]

I never calculated my IQ. I was worried that it might come up as lower than I thought lol.
Some things came easier to me in life, others - I had to put in more effort than the average person.

But I was always annoyed, growing up, by those who used to say: "I didn't study at all for the exam, I just read the material once and I got it, in clever like that." (yeah right). While backbiting those who scored well.
It all changed when I entered the workforce.
People were pretending to work much harder than they did.
Geeze.

So the OP is right. People Are stupid.

"Calculated" your own IQ...?

I hate to break it to you, but...

Ok, I give up.
I'll send you some pussy pics.

Titty pics will be sufficient. Kthx.

It hasn't happened yet, be sure to let me know when it does.

Only a complete fool thinks that he's never been wrong about anything.

You sir, aren't even a complete fool.

It sure does!

DNA tests can predict intelligence, scientists show for first time

Intelligence could be measured with a swab of saliva, or drop of blood, after scientists showed for the first time that a person’s IQ can be predicted just by studying their DNA.

In the largest ever study looking at the genetic basis for intelligence, researchers at the University of Edinburgh and Harvard University discovered hundreds of new genes linked to brain power.

Previous studies have suggested that between 50 per cent and 75 per cent of intelligence is inherited, and the rest comes through upbringing, friendship groups and education. That figure was calculated by studying identical twins who share the same DNA

This is why IQ matters.

IQ is what is measured by IQ tests, which are adjusted over time because IQs keep rising. The ability to score well on IQ tests seems to follow the normal 'bell' curve. Half the population are better test-takers than the other half. That's what the median marks.

 

[Pookie]

bullshit.

Now now. All that could've been true before the traumatic head injury.

I wouldn't underestimate him. This is an area he excels in. *nods*

Like many other students when preparing for college, I took the ACT and SAT exams, scoring in the 99th percentile on each, and was invited to the honors program at the university I had chosen to attend. Years later after my first tour in the Air Force, I took the GRE (cold) and the area exam, both with similar results to my entrance exams. I’ve known my IQ since those days, back when it was OK to know and nobodies feelings were hurt so easily as the fragile waifs of 2018. And yes, you can read my bio for more if you wish. As for the other, It’s common enough from the conversation with the ladies I’ve known in that way, as unsolicited respect in that area. To be sure, nothing I could or would change about either obviously. Now, if you’re quite done trying to be an asshole I’ll just return to our regularly scheduled programming!

Intelligence, in and of itself, isn't everything..

• Que is the (self-proclaimed) smartest guy on the General Board and he delivers packages for Amazon for a living.
• WoundedKnee( nee AJ) is the second smartest guy and he unloads trucks for a living.

I'm not sure that is the best use of their prodigal intellects, but hai, at least they're employed, right? Right?

The smart person would rather be underestimated.

I'd LOVE to see the proof of this.

Dear coachiq00:

No need to PM me just to tell me you will not be replying to me anymore: a person with any intelligence at all would've just told me that in this thread, or not had any need to reply at all.

Why are you such a dumbfuck, coachiq00?

People who boast about their IQ scores are losers

Pretty much.

 

[Captainnumnuts]

Mmmm. I had something to say about IQ's. I have to look it up. Also, I lost my test scores.

I'm waiting for all the MENSAns here to show their secret badges.

I'm waiting for all the MENSAns here to show their secret badges.

All MENSAns know there is no secret badge, because the super super entry code (known only to all other MENSAns) is a double secret handshake (Like the 'Animal House' Double Secret Probation). Every MENSAn has a unique and individual handshake, and only because MENSAns are so super smart, know every other MENSAns secret handshake... it's kind of like the way every dog knows every other dog it meets by nothing more than a butt sniff.

WOW, I REALLY enjoy using MENSAns in a sentence (kinda sounds like smart Mexicans, doesn't it?) Why no WOMENSAN's?

I think you're too young to be posting on an adult discussion forum.

I once had a toy sheriff's badge from some store that's probably been leveled by now. Does that count?

 

[bellisarius]

The correlation of IQ testing to life outcomes borders on .7 (70%). No other type of test in the Social Sciences comes even close. In other words it's a very reliable predictor. If it were perfect the correlation would be 1.0 (100%) so obviously other factors are involved.

As a science IQ testing is highly evolved. The naysayers in this thread are also among those that claim "Climate Change" is 'settled science' but when we look at the predictors versus actual outcome the correlation is substantially less than .1. Random guessing would give you at least a .5 correlation.

My point being that if a 'science' that can't even match 'best guess' thresholds is 'settled', why is a science that has consistently shown a .7 correlation bogus?

You'll need the Captain Midnight secret decoder ring too. Not too damaged, I hope.

Cite?

As the resident board archivist I'm sure you have that citation at your fingertips right?

If not I'm sure totally not you Skiddles (the fake Canadian) would surely have that citation right? Right?

 

[Que]

by the way that's how everyone knows when you are making shit uo. if someone said anything at anytime that you considered ammunition you have it filed away and trot it out routinely. If you don't quote it, it definitely didn't happen.

That wild-ass storytelling is also what links you to many of the sock puppets, because you do the exact same thing with the sock puppets. You (and only you) do that habitually.

I don't know who is more delusional in this thread, lil queefy or coach binky, the dumbest "I'm in mensa" son of a bitch to ever grace the board.

I would like to add that while I was at our last local mensa meeting a few weeks ago, I inquired to the others in the group about whether or not they would believe binky's story. They unanimously agreed that no real member of mensa would bring their membership up in casual conversation on a porn board. I agreed, that's why we are all in mensa I suppose, but this isn't about me and being the youngest in my town to get into mensa. Twice.

To my knowledge, I never have been the first to bring it up, if you can find a time where I was the FIRST one to introduce that I'm a member let me know. I have it in my bio, and the butthurt that a conservative could actually be smart has been the source of numerous liberals who have tried to play the 'conservatives are dumb' talking point, and simply can't stand the fact that they can't claim the 'smarter than you' point so important to them. And in bringing up your own membership, you have now done what I have not. But then you and your meeting members said 'no real member of mensa would bring their membership up in casual conversation on a porn board', so by that standard, you're not a real member. Go figure!

... and now, it's time to *IGNORE*
