                        Amen to that French Toast.
Boasting about intelligence on the internet is pretty
meaningless.  I could list off which selective private school I
went to, which college I attend, what my SAT scores were, etc etc. but
in the end I wouldn't appear smart, I'd be a braggart.

                        %u2022 quoting French Toast
It doesn't matter what your tested IQ is. It means you can add 2 and 2 together. There are 7 known intelligences (as far as I know) and standard IQ tests and school only address 3 of them.
This test covered all criteria, including E.Q. (Emotional Intelligence Quotient).
And look, I for one don't care what my intellect is either, as long as I do well enough in school and achieve all my goals in life.
Its just that someone else brought it up, and it has continued all the way to the bottom of the second page.

                        I have seen some people so smart that they are actually the dumbest people I have ever met. When you see someone on the side of the road with a flat and no knowledge of how it is fixed, thats....
Anyway, I have yet to see a test to measure IQ that covers all the bases necessary to distinguish exactly how smart someone is. First you have "Book Smarts". These are the people you see on the side of the road I mentioned. So smart they are, yeah right. Then you have "Practical Smart". These are the people whom the hard knocks of life have taught them everything. If there were a way to combine the 2 then you'd truly have an intelligent individual.
                                            
                        There is no history until something happens, then there is.

                        I think they're more used to weed out prospects for things like jobs or the military even maybe.
I don't know, I'm too young to have any practical experience with this issue :smile:

                        You guys truly like doing this don't you? You must since ignoring the weird ones would basically render them moot but no, you gotta give them more air time than a Michael Jackson trial. :rolleyes:
Don't worry HAL, they must like you.
