What is the name of this test he supposedly took?
Have I been whooshed? And no way that sounds Vietnamese.
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!!!
We do not have enough information on this specific test to have an opinion on its utility, but our first impression is that it is bogus and/or useless.
Googling the guy’s name, all I get are questionable websites. Nothing in, say, Wikipedia.
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.
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.
D’oh! :smack:
Obviously, I’m not Abdesselam Jelloul.
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.
Don’t feel bad, Sam, linguistics is only one of the thirteen dimensions of intelligence.
Dunno about any thirteen dimensions of intelligence, but I do know I’m good at the five-point palm exploding heart technique.
Some of your best friends are Middle Eastern?
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.

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.
If Abdesselam Jelloul is the smartest person in the world, who designed the IQ test?
Congratulations to Abdesselam: all those of his race must be very proud to be so superior.
Abdesselam Jelloul has never been in my kitchen.
Says here it was designed by a guy named “Abdesselam Jelloul.”
Yeah, and it just happens to be an anagram for “saleable mud Jellos.”
