hehehe. “goup”.
You see my point now, don’t you?
Well since someone else brought it up, I was a member of TOPS for a few years. It has a “whopping” membership of about 400 members. It seems that there are other even higher IQ societies - the International Society for Philosophical Inquiry for example. I don’t know what the specific requirements are but I believe your IQ must be something such as 1 in 2,500 of the general population. (No, I don’t think I’d gain entrance to that one).
It was Groucho Marx.
And you call yourself Mensa material.
They recentered 'em at some point. I’d suggest a test-off, but that would indicate not much more than who took their particular test better on that day. I test rather well, too, which might play into it.
You can be smart, cute or rich. Pick 2. I went with half of 1 and 3, which means I ain’t broke … but sometimes I’m a halfwit:D

Heh. I qualify for TOPS easily - 143 on the Weschler-Wais - and I’m still dumb as a piece of granite. A really dumb piece of granite. I mean, I’m astoundingly stupid in nearly every way possible, and my stupidity goes beyond people skills. I’m poor in academics, too - I failed Algebra I in high school, and after I passed it I failed Algebra II. I can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. It takes considerable effort to move one hand independently of another, and between the one-handed hunting and pecking at the keyboard, and looking up every word in the dictionary, writing this very post took a full seventeen hours.
I should form my own Society. I’ll call it Dumbos with Moderately High IQs. DUM-HIs. We’ll all qualify for Mensa, and see if people can tell us apart from the real smarties.
I’m in on that in a heartbeat. Also a cakewalk for me to qualify for TOPS – and I’d put my granite-dome up against yours in a DUMM-OFF anyday.
Just a good piece of evidence that IQ doesn’t mean a whole lot.
I see your post #33, and raise you my post #28.
