What AH user has the highest-est IQ?

simu · 2007-09-03 01:47:01

The most incisive mind, the most searing wit, the wisest use of "yore ma" etc etc? Just wondering. Feel free to speculate, in the absence of facts. Me: I have a certificate from a very reputable online institution that states that my intelligence is so high that I broke their on-line test. It's framed and on my sitting…

The sparkly intelligent glint in my eye is so impressive that it once blinded three mimes and an entire gospel choir during a special mass for circus performers who had died in tragic and/or funny circumstances. Beat that biatches.

? There is no finite way to do it that works better than another, its usually a matter of trial and error to see which method gives you the best temps. You'll find a lot of places will recommend using a stanley blade or similar to spread it out to get an even spread across the surface.

Anyway, back OT. IMO a high IQ is a curse. I'd rather exist in blissful ignorence then live with the torment of a constantly questioning mind.

MENSA asked me to join but I turned them down in favour of DTFLQ.
And anyway, PhD FTW obviously.

i seriously doubt anyone on boards has an iq over 170-180 otherwise they are wasting their life posting here

Highest recorded and measured iq result is 228

And the simple fact that there are quite a few individuals who's IQs could not be measured shows that it is a flawed method of measuring intelligence.

I've been tested a few times due to being born with hydrocephalus and mines about 127. I can't be bothered to check whether that's good or bad because it makes Christ all difference to my daily life.

I think you'll find the correct phrasing of the question to be "Which AH user has the highest-est IQ?"...

Gotta agree.

We were tested in school in 6th class. I got 156 which is apparently within the top 2% of the country. I was excited that I was offered to join this high IQ society.

What I got in return for was the chance to pay €40 for a subscription to this crappy magazine I couldn't have cared less about.....

Needles to say, I didn't renew the subscription.

I apparently have a score of 117 which is "Above Average" but well below "Gifted" or "Genius".

I can't do anything right

Should've checked out CTYI (well young CTYI at that age), a lot less pompous (though there is the odd "intelligent" idiot who's too far up their own ar*e).
Some of the courses were interesting, but then it depends on where your interests lie...

Yeah, but I never knew about it back then.

Though throughout my life I've had a mix of friends of varying intelligence and have avoided fitting into any sort of "intelligent" stereotype. What effect something like CTYI would have had on that I don't know, but ultimately I'm happy the way I turned out.

As long as you didn't let the experience define you then I doubt it would've changed you much, but you will always get the odd person who lets it really get to their head.... they usually didn't get on too well socially there.
