NWFlyer 2 #27 January 10, 2006 QuoteBut do many people know the true IQ range and their IQ number? I wish I did, but do not... Is there a link to a REAL IQ test anywhere? That would be find to take to see if our perceptions of ourselves and so forth match up with reality... When I had a full IQ test done in the 4th grade (the real thing, several hours with a psychologist) to qualify to ride the short bus to a gifted program, my parents would not tell me the number, just that it met the minimum qualifications for the program. Pissed me off back then, but I'm really happy I've never known the number. I know that it's high enough to put me in the top 1%; but I also know that the number itself is mostly meaningless when it comes to success in this world. Yeah, raw brains give you a better toolkit to work with, but it's how you apply that raw talent and how you develop your emotional intelligence that really determines your path in life.

Absolutely. People who are really stupid are probably not gonna excel.

You know i am messing right Actually, talking to the old people does provide so much insight and knowledge. We have resdients that are 100+ years old and I am so amazed at how much they have lived through. They amaze me, I amaze them, being the "fountain of youth" in their eyes, it is a flattering job to be called beautiful multiple times per day! I know you are messing, but I dont change diapers! I repsect those that do, but I am seriously glad I dont- I can hardly change a baby's diaper, much less a grandma's!!

happythoughts 0 #35 January 10, 2006 When I was younger, I worked with a guy who was a big PCP/Angel Trumpet fan. It had not worked in his favor. We nicknamed him "Whammo" because the only thing that made an impression on him would be a direct hit by a bolt of lightning. I always had him on my crew though. I would be over there with a 12lb and he would swing a 16lb hammer all day long. He followed orders and worked hard, so he was always employed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I think people of all intelligence levels can "succeed" with motivation and work ethic; it just depends on how you define success. My comments were more directed towards the folks who are very intelligent, but don't understand that's not enough. I had a roommate in graduate school who had close to a 4.0 GPA but no one wanted to ever work with her because she was high-strung, hyper-competitive, and ridiculously aggressive. I saw her take some baby steps toward realizing that it wasn't always the people who were the most book-smart who were successful. It was like a lightbulb came on when she realized why one of our most well-liked classmates was also so well-respected... he had a real gift in working with people and so was able to surround himself with talented people who were able to help him learn and overcome some of his shortcomings in "raw talent."

NlghtJumper 0 #38 January 10, 2006 8/7/10 Intelligence of another is nothing but perception. Someone could act like a complete idiot when you meet them, and then turn around and be a highly regarded SME [Subject Matter Expert]. Where as you could meet someone, and they could pull off the perception of great knowlage, and yet couldn't pass a GED test the past 5 times they attempted it.

BANANAFINGER 0 #41 January 10, 2006 You're not wrong. Myself I'd probably go for 7/6/10 (I like intelligent women) but my 7 only applies when women aren't involved; when women are involved my intelligence drops significantly. How come we're all posting our own intelligence in the upper 30% though? Considering our affinity for jumping from great heights? Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.

BillyVance 34 #42 January 10, 2006 Quote On a scale of "1" being dumb, "10" being smart. Your level/their Min./their Max level. 8/5/10 I don't get this scale... but based on the nominal I.Q. tests, I've scored in the mid 120's consistently. So I guess that makes me a smart deaf bastard.

metalslug 31 #46 January 10, 2006 QuoteBut do many people know the true IQ range and their IQ number? I wish I did, but do not... It is important to note that an IQ of 100 is the average score of those that have been tested and within the same age range as the person tested. This then means that a man aged 60 who scores 110 is not necessarily more intelligent than a man aged 25 who scores 100 and neither does it mean that he/she is above average relative to the world population, because only a tiny percentage of the world population has been tested. Most people are not supposed to know their actual score, testers make an effort to keep scores confidential even from those being tested. It is usualy not good for a person's confidence to know that they scored below average, but it is the reality for approximately half of everyone who gets tested and so the prefered practise is to not tell people what they scored. If the candidate is very insistent on knowing, always tell 'em they scored 'high' ...just dont say how high. The end result is that pretty much every person out there who "knows" their score is also certain that it's more than 100. I've never met anyone who actualy "knows" they scored less than 100, which makes these kinds of topics somewhat comical. "IQ" scores are not an exact science; testing methods vary over time and across geographical regions and the state of mind of the candidate at the moment of testing is also one of many variables. Intelligence typicaly includes logic, reasoning, memory and ability to learn. It is a not a measure of academic knowledge and it is not the same as wisdom, the literary "mad scientist" is usualy a genius with very little wisdom. Some highly intelligent people from history have developed psychological problems, unsociable behaviour and drug habbits and have lived less significant lives than a great many simpler people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites kbordson 8 #47 January 10, 2006 So... if 100 is the average on the IQ test, what can we correlate to this IQ range? Is 5 equal to an IQ of 100? or is 7 the average (like the 70% bell curve rating that always sucked when someone blew the curve)? I would probably be a 6 or 7 on the "5=average" scale, gots me some schoolin, but not in league with Einstein or Hawkins or nuffin' (hell, I don' even know if Schroedinger's Cat is alive or dead) What IQ limits on I would date would depend a lot on who he was. I would probably have a lot of variablity.... like 4-9 or so. I wouldn't want someone that I have to make decisions for, nor would I want one that made me feel like an idiot. Maybe just a nice, independent thinker type....
