Just Wanted To Say....

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

…(smiles, because my computer recognized that phrase before, and offered it to me as an option)

Anyway

I just wanted to say I appreciate y’all putting up with my stupid questions all these years, but you know what?

I have an IQ of 140

I mean , What the fuck?

Why am I having such a hard time trying to untangle a granny knot?

This is stupid.

Man, don’t take it too hard. I know several people with extremely high IQ’s that don’t have the common sense Og gave a door knob. But from reading several of your posts and such throughout the years, I’d still have to say you’re a good step above most. But hey, take that for what it’s worth coming from a guy with an IQ of 141 (d&r).

I just took an IQ test online for shits and giggles. I tried to get every single one wrong. I scored a 20.

4

Just use your sword to cut the knot in half.

5

Hey, I have problems with my shoelaces once in a while, and headphone cables? Forget it.

6

I thought you were going to admit to eating the plums in the icebox that I had been saving for breakfast.

I’ve been tested and found to be in the top 2% of the population for verbal intelligence… and I still have trouble spelling the word ‘persistent’. A at the end? E? Gah!

Also, Quasimodem, Einstein failed one of his entrance exams to get into school–I wouldn’t worry so much. :wink:

If that score is based on one of those lame on-line IQ tests, then you don’t really have an IQ of 140. Those on-line tests overstate the crap out of things.

In a real IQ test I score in the 136-138 range. On those on-line tests I usually score close to 160.

I’ve long thought that the one thing that IQ tests really measure is the ability to take IQ tests…this coming from someone with an IQ of 150+ (if you believe the tests…)
a personal anecdote…

We do much of our grocery shopping at a “full service” supermarket; they empty your cart at the checkstand, bag your groceries, and then take them to your car and unload them into your trunk for you. I always decline the “car service”, for a couple reasons…

  1. I am a healthy 41 year old man, and am perfectly capable of carrying my own groceries, leaving the supermarket staff to take care of customers that actually need to be taken care of.
    2 (and the more important, truth be told) I can never seem to remember where I’ve parked the car until I get out of the store and have a few seconds to scan the parking lot.

Intelligence has much less practical application than you’d think.

11

My nose makes its own bubbles.

12

My breath smells like human food.

13

No, it isn’t an online test. They tested me in the USAF (I worked in Crypto in the 70’s).

But I do score a goose egg in the common-sense department, that’s for sure.

Thanks guys.
