I have to blame Dana, on Livejournal, because I just joined eMusic to download Bersnstein's Mass, which I have loved since HS, but only have on audio tape

Huh. OK. I"m wondering, if 100 is supposed to be "average", at what point people are noticeably smarter/dumber than average.
Among the people I know, I think everyone can be pretty relatable on a normal conversational level up to about IQ 155. The ones higher than that tend to have the brain-in-a-jar quality, where you get a sense that no amount of explanation will let you understand what they're thinking.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
If all y'all keep talking about IQ, I'm going to seek out an online test and take it and then either cry or brag.
No one wants that.

I suspect the online IQ tests always score the user high so the user will want to buy their complete report for further ego stroking. Maybe I'm just too cynical though.

Oddly, when I've taken them just to see, the results tend to be very close to what I tested at in gradeschool.
It may not mean much though, as I know people who give up 20 points to me that are much better informed and on the ball, and at least one that has a 15 point advantage and shouldn't be allowed to leave the house unsupervised.

Man, no IQ tests for me. I don't need to know how much stupider I've become since college, thanks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was told my IQ by a guidance counselor when I was in 9th grade. I took an online IQ test about 6 years ago and got significantly (15 points) lower.
Must be all that "hitting my head with a hammer" I did in college....

I remember a slow day in grade school, when I was sitting in a desk next to the teacher's desk. There were a bunch of papers on his desk, and I saw my name at the top of a list of kids in the class. I leaned a little closer and saw it was sorted by something called MIQ. Mine was 140-something. I asked the teacher what that was when he got back to his desk, and he got all flustered and said, "You're not supposed to see that!" and shuffled the papers in a drawer. Nothing like a flustered teacher to make a kid take note.
I think I've lost points since then, and I have no idea what the criteria were on that particular print out. I know I wouldn't be able to work my way around math problems with the same dexterity as when I was in school.
