Whatever his melanin or asterisk free IQ score, does this mean Marilyn Vos Savant loses her column? Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes!!! ---

I’m beginning to think “Abdesselam Jelloul” is nothing more than a name that I.Q. company made up to promote their tests. There is no Wiki cite for him, no personal information, nothing in Google images-nothing but a bunch of sites parrotting the same “13 dimensions of intelligence” bull. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > What is the name of this test he supposedly took? Advance IQ test, I think. And if a test that measures attributes including philosophical, moral, spiritual, and naturalist intelligence sounds like a gigantic bunch of baloney to you… congratulations. I think the OP copy and pasted the “highest IQ score in the world” text from some other side promoting this company or its test and is speculating about the identity of the guy the company says got the highest score. ---

So, if the local Mensa chapter booked one of those hotel conference rooms for their latest meeting, and so many people showed up that the fire marshal said ‘no more’, but then Abdesselam arrived, what method would they use to select the member to be expelled so they can let the new Smartest Man in the World in? After all, there’s always room for Jelloul. ---

Dunno about any thirteen dimensions of intelligence, but I do know I’m good at the five-point palm exploding heart technique. ---

> [@thanatic](#): > > Abdesselam Jelloul is the man with highest IQ score in the world. He scored 198 in IQ test held in 2012. He holds the record to have highest score in Advance IQ test. The test included 13 different dimensions of intelligence including analytical, linguistics, spiritual, philosophical and 9 others. > Abdesselam Jelloul sounds like he could be a black man… This is scientifically impossible. You see, a high-functioning intelligence requires a larger blood flow to the brain. And of course, this excludes Negroes, because so much of their blood volume is taken up supplying it to their larger penises. Plus, their ancestors developed skills throwing bananas at each other and not building shelter from the cold, so they excell at sports, not problem-solving. (we tend towards the Left on this board, so, “to each according to his needs,” this post was our contribution for your need for a racist response. Sorry if it seems perfunctory, but that’s Socialism for you) ---

Today, 01:23 AM thanatic, your statement is worthless. As Wendell Wagner says above, who is this guy and where does he live? Who gave him the I.Q. test? Why should we think the people who tested him know what they’re doing? Evidence thanatic, evidence, evidence, evidence. ---
