Is it really something to brag about, it's just the way your brain is built up. Also, feel free to tell your results if you know them. *ironically* It's not like I want any bragging, just want to know how high the average Escapist has.
Should you brag about your IQ?

Seriously, if there's one thing guaranteed to make you look stupid, it's bragging about your IQ. Especially when you've calculated your IQ from an non-standardised test on the internet. I've seen people on here bragging about having an IQ of 180-200, which, given that IQ is meant to be standardised through a normal distribution across the population, is nonsense.
Sure you can brag about it, just like I can brag about having a more muscular builf then a normal man without even having to spend hours upon hours in the gym. I am just a naturally large person. In more ways then one if you get my drift.crazyhaircut94 said:
Which brings me to another thing I will brag about, and another thing I have simply because of good genetics.
So brag away about being hyper intelligent. Just don't start the bold faced 90% of us are in the 99.9% for intelligence crap I always see when people start posting their results.
Imo, IQ is nearly worthless to judge someone's intelligence. Someone who really really really sucks with numbers (like moi) will fuck up an IQ test wich would result in a lower score. Does that mean I'm not intelligent? Doubt it. IQ is too sumarized, too general. I prefer Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_intelligences]
No. Its a measure of how good you are at IQ tests.
You will not need one at any point in your life.

Im ugly, it's the only thing i've got to make myself feel good, so I will happily brag about IQ and intelligence.
I wouldn't since I have taken a bunch of IQ tests and my rank has been everywhere from 110 to 130, not to brag, all I'm saying is that there is a large margin for error, so you can't really know your IQ unless you took the mensa test, but that shit is expensive probably.
I dont need to know my IQ to tell people i'm smarter than you.
I'm smarter than all of you!!!!!!!!
see,no IQ test needed

IQ shows nothing. A teacher of mine told me something about your IQ that I think many people will disagree with.
IQ is simply the intelligence at that specific time in the specific place. It shows NOTHING about your self.

No, because only the truly smart people realize how little they truly know and ever will know, despite all that they might learn. Thus, bragging would merely do nothing but show how stupid and arrogant you are in the first place. Besides, IQ has nothing to do with real intelligence, only dealing with how good you are at memorizing formulas, equations, facts, etc. much like how they grade you in school, while leaving out very basic yet important things such as common sense. Intelligence is more than those facts you learn in a textbook or how good you are at recognizing patterns.
IQ is usless on it's own, you need to be able to get use out of it, for example's sake you could have an IQ of 150+ but be a bin man because you never used it. Which makes me think IQ is usless compared to something like a diploma that will actually get you somewhere in life.
