A little Dynaverse.net "navel gazing"...
« on: July 01, 2005, 06:36:06 pm »
I just read a post here that made me think to myself, wow that guy is sssmaaart!

Given that IQs are a poor measure of real intelligence and not that many people know their own last test result, I'm still interested roughly what the spread is among Dynaverse.net members.

Not that we're a mensa type group or anything, I just suspect we're a pretty clever lot and want a feel for the numbers.

Hoi Bonk,

I was forbidden by my Mum to know what the results of my IQ tests were. I was tempted to go look them up once, you talked me out of it though. Thanks bud.

Take care

I once tested out pretty high, but am I using it as others think I could?  HEL NO!  I just enjoy being a *snicker* 'normal' type person!

I had something similar to an IQ test once, forget what it was called. The results were a % compared to the rest of the population.... ie: a 50% meant you were smarter than half the people and dumber than half. Higher the better.
I got a 69%, nice to know but keeps my head from getting too fat, still dumber than 31%. Plus the fact that most people I know have had a more sucessful and forfilling life than myself keeps things in perspective...  heh, so what if you are above average intelligence if life is one train wreak after another, with no one to blame but yourself. Don't sound very smart to me....

I don't know my IQ, but the army has a score that gives you certain jobs if you rate in  certain  ranges.  My GT score was 123, taken in 1988.

I've only took one test, that one when I was a kid. It hit right at 140, but you certianly can't make me believe that... not after the stupid shiznit I've done in my life.

There was a thread in Hot and Spicey with a link to a test.

I scored a 149 on the IQ test that was posted.  My highest area (164) was spacial skill.  Maybe that's why I like to make SFC models ;D

Based on the test before, I have 135.  Haven't taken a real test, though, nor did I bother to retake the old test.
