attention all escapists...

no i did not believe an un-offical IQ test. It was an official one (from a university site) I also took the MENSA one. And also people have been saying this but I'll say it again. IQ does have some stock on intelligence. It just doesn't have all of it. It shows your logic and problem solving skills and some other shit. (in hindsight those tow might be the same)

Allow me to quote myself from a thread you were linked to:

An IQ test merely shows how good people are at IQ tests and does not in any way equate to intelligence...

Further, there is no way you can claim that any IQ test is not effected by the social class of the person in question - after all, it is a near-fact that social class dramatically effects a pupils early education and therefore their success at IQ tests. Bearing in mind that IQ tests were originally designed to test the mentality of patients it makes no sense to bother completing them, let alone advertise them - they are merely another forum of e-peen.

Everyone lies. Yes, even Escapists lie.

We should place more value on knowledge when it comes to Intelligence, in my opinion.

On an internet forum in which Google is one click away knowledge is near non-existent. If anything we should place value on experience and opinions.

Well, when you learn something new, like form Google, you become more intelligent, you know more than you did. At any rate, most people are within a very small deviancy when it comes to intelligence, with almost all extremes coming in the form of morons. The "intelligent" people either studied harder or had more opportunities for intellectual growth.

No no thats knoledge your thinking of. If you know something that doesn't make you smart that just means you have more stuff kicking around. (sorry for this next phrase, I wanted to make it important and I don't know how to bold) INTELLIGENCE ISN'T KNOWING STUFF, IT'S KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH THAT STUFF.

I agree; but I believed we were discussing intelligence within this internet community rather than a generalization of intellect.

You see!


hahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahaahhahahahaahhahah!!!

I said you were all smart and you proved me wrong!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

HOW COME WE'RE ALL SO FUCKING SMART!?

We are not fucking smart. This website is filled with pseudo-intellectuals.

 

[darkless]

Aw man I'm out my intelligence in average at best.

 

[Yegargeburble]

Me? Smart? Doubtful...

I mean, I am probably a bit above average, intellectually, but I am not that smart.

 

[D_987]

You see!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

Its called humility, not that you would understand the concept...

The ultimate alliance.

We would need some sort of test to weed out the liars though.

Anyone spotted using the non-word "teh" in anything but a piss taking manner shall be expelled from the club in a cruel and unusual fashion.

I assume genuine typos are excluded from this rule?

Yes, but anyone who uses "teh" on purpose can generally be spotted and weeded out from the typos, due to other non-words associated with the use of "teh". So any of those words should be grounds for cruel and unusual expulsion.

Now we need to figure out a cruel and unusual expulsion technique.

What about Tehran, the capital of Iran? I used "teh" on purpose there, does that mean everybody who is discussing the geography of Iran is an idiot?

Of course not, geography is an inteligent subject, fitting of us inteligent types. *smokes pipe*. Anyway, teh was part of a larger, real word, and passes the test. Now, if you would care to contribute ideas that are cruel and unusual to be used to expel the ruffians from this noble and inteligent land.

I be good smarts?

 

[Easykill]

Hmm... I got 112 on the test. That was slightly high for the poll, so what's this about 130s?

EDIT: Ahh, yes. I'm in a SPED program. Not sure if that term means much in other countries, but it means I'm dumb. In my case, I have some sort of learning-thingamajig I don't remember the name of.

Kids in learning support aren't necassarily 'dumb'. I know one kid who's a complete genius at all forms of social studies and public speeches, but completely sucks at math.

He could get most people to eat a pinecone and convince them that it would help our society, but he wouldn't be able to do fractions.

Kraken, did you have a bad day? I mean, I agree with most of what you've said here and on other threads, but it seems like somethings bothering you.

 

[sabotstarr]

OMG, that is an amazing idea, but you get to be the founder.

 

[cobra_ky]

I have a question for everyone here who uses this forum.


HOW COME WE'RE ALL SO FUCKING SMART!?

all the really stupid people got banhammered already.

EDIT: Ahh, yes. I'm in a SPED program. Not sure if that term means much in other countries, but it means I'm dumb. In my case, I have some sort of learning-thingamajig I don't remember the name of.

i was in a SPED program too, and it had nothing to do with me being dumb or learning-disabled. sometimes special just means special.

what iz wrong wtih teh w0rd "teh"? ur retard, i r not gets it, cuz iits retardlogik.

Actually, you're right, 'teh' is fun to use in a pisstaking manner.

Now, if you would care to contribute ideas that are cruel and unusual to be used to expel the ruffians from this noble and inteligent land.

I'd say we turn their own weapon against them, the internet meme. If I we're to pick one, it would be 'teh lazer' one...
(I just like lasers, alright?)
