133 here on that test, but as mentioned 36-39 are where it gets brisk and I have to run to work. Fun stuff, though![/quote]

I got a 133 as well. I've always understood my IQ to be about in the low 130s range.[/quote]
My respect. You showed your test scores rather than just talk about it. You now have the highest, documented one in here.....i pass the touch to you. You've always understood your IQ to be in the low 130s range?....Hmmm....i thought mine will be in 135 range given some tests i was administered a long time ago....i guess not! hahahaha.

Didn't take that test, but I've taken a bunch of others that peg me at just above entry level to mensa, which is 135.[/quote]
That is really nice and great. the test is short and sweet:

With an IQ of 135....it shouldnt be that bad...the test is like puzzle..nice brain teaser...fun stuff....i always thought my IQ was in the 135 range too....but i was pleasantly surprised that i was pegged as 130iq by the test. Big deal. The test is just for fun, shit and giggles. It is nothing serious. Like i said earlier, nice and great, and congratulations....but samseau's challenge still stands:

It is just a fun test. Take it or leave it.

I'm happy for the brainpower I have, but I know my place. Compared to some who walk among us, I'm still a chimp.[/quote]
Of course, this applies to everybody. The test is just for fun. It gets even more interesting when you get into creativity. who is more creative? beethoven or mozart? isaac newton or leonard euler? schrodinger or heisenberg? Mozart, euler, heisenberg can do complex compositions/analysis in in their head, unlike beethoven, newton or schrodinger who needs to write stuff down. However, if you judge them by their creative/analytical output...i dont think it matters maybe you can do complex stuff without writing it down or writing it down. Caveat emptor: i havent read a single paper on IQ...so i could be wrong about my hypothesis.

The only thing that would hold you back in the 100-115 IQ range is high level physics or complex mathematical stuff.[/quote]

Getting shit done and making things happen matter more than IQ. Assuming you have an IQ in the 110-120 range, you can do anything in life save extremely demanding professions like physics, math, computer science, and some types of medicine and research.[/quote]
Interesting, reading those comments from both DC and mikecf....I never knew that. In fact, i have never read that much IQ stuff....I HAVE ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT IF YOU WORK YOUR MOTHERFUCKING ARSE off....and you have average intelligence....you will make it in any profession....Native intelligence can make things much easier or much harder, but you will still make it with lots and lots of hardwork. I dont care what your IQ is. Of course, i havent read a single IQ literature or whatever so, i guess i could be totally wrong. I have always assume that if you take an extremely high IQ person(200 or so) and you hyper-socialize him from a young age rather than just lock them up somewhere with books, s/he wont grow up to be a social retard. To be honest...if my IQ isnt 130 and you tell me that, entropy, your IQ is 80 as such you cannot do quantum physics...you know what i will say to your face? GO...FUCK...YOURSELF....then, i will sit the fuck down and apply myself. If quantum physics is what i want to study...i will be damned if i dont study it. I will use all the willpower to get there. That is my mentality.
In general i have more faith in the human spirit than in the human intelligence.
Where there is a WILL...there is almost always a WAY.

I personally know a girl that wasnt very bright. She was determined to be a doctor....she studied sooo fucking hard...fridays, weekends, etc...studying, reviewing, revising, re-memorizing...she took 2 years after university to prepare for the MCAT...learning everything and all the practice questions cold. She scored 33....At the university, she would take the minimum amount of classes and studied for them like somebody taking 24 credits a semester. She was accepted to medical school.
At medical school she intentionally spread her course of study to 5 years(instead of 4) so she can properly study for them...you will think she was planning to graduate medical school in 3years by the way she studied. Now, she is a doctor. I dont have empirical proof, but i have this gut feeling that at IQ 100....with a dint of hardwork and sacrifice...your human spirit will compensate for any intellectual razzle-dazzle. My favourite examples are Louis Pasteur/Honore de Balzac/Michael Faraday biographies.

In the context of conversing with women I actually think it is a bad thing. I tend to over-analyze things. If I was to drop 10-15 IQ points, it would probably be a good thing. I always worry that I have absolutely nothing in common with a lot of girls, e.g. I don't watch shows like Jersey Shore and don't watch the latest shitty movies. My music tastes are also vastly different.[/quote]
I am not so sure that is a problem. I have little overlapping taste with pretty girls...who the fuck does? Most pretty bimbos are a stack of titties...that is what i want from them anyways. I wont want it any other way......Personally, i suck them into my frame....i have learned to verbally express the most mundane, arcane thing in accessible, fun manner to the dumbest babes. It is like teaching a child some boring subject and making the subject engaging and fun. It makes me come across as an interesting/fascinating individual that is unique in a fun way. I can express the working of nanoprocessors to a dumb bimbo in a way that will be interesting, not like a lecturer/professor teaching a class. I can talk about some obscure foreign movies and suck girls into them. I can re-phrase and express cliches and not sound trite. Like i said, i pull them into my frame.
Experience in sales/networking help. Experience as a teacher of recalcitrant children helps. Giving speeches, oratory, being in a debate club helps.
It didnt hurt that i was an athlete in a group sports too.
Just work on enhancing your verbal facility. You can make the least interesting, the most boring thing into something charming and interesting...it is all about presentation. Content be damned. We are talking to titties on a stick here, not lecturers or professors.

When I was young, I bought the Mensa IQ test. Did it to terms. "Passed," as in the booklet said, "You'd probably qualify if you took our official test."
Now you'd have to pay me to take an IQ test.[/quote]
That is a strong reaction. It is just a test, amigo. Just for fun and giggles. puzzle solving. You dont want to take it, that is fine.

I dont know, man; it is just a bloody test. nothing much to it. I have seen "half sigma" on roissy links...it never occur to me once to click it. Whenever roissy writes about IQ i simply skip the post. I will tell you right now, forget that my IQ is stated to be 130....i will do whatever the fuck i want to do with my life regardless of whatever the fuck my IQ is stated to be. It is just a fun, nice brain teaser test...like puzzle solving. Nothing wrong with that.

I wont know, man. I never interacted much with people like that. thanks the heavens. Thanks for the half-sigma. Never read him....now, most likely probably will never read him.

Anyhow, I just need a girl to be smart enough to realize she's not smarter than I am.

Having a girl question everything you do gets old really quickly - especially when you have a track record of remarkable judgment and other objective measures of intelligence, self-control, and success.[/quote]
