Ah, I remember being equally annoyed when I was under 18. Damn all those places that required people to be 18+.

I'm 22 and have a mustache, and I haven't shaved in a few days.  They refused to sell me a game that's rated for 13 year olds.

Owned.

IQ 134

Though how accurate this is I have doubts. (Or rather I doubt this is accurate)

Whoa, that's quite nice.  ;)

IQ tests are useless, ive gotten a 230 on a math one once, they are dumb. its basically based off the amount of right questions and the amount of time it takes to make them.

An IQ score is completely irrelevant. Even the guy who invented them said putting a numeric score on them was a bad idea and pointless.

The most hillarious part is most of these fake IQ tests have very strict maximums that are sometimes very arbitrary.

Don't I know it.  I pegged one at age 9.

I'm the kind of person who gives intelligence analysts fits.  I generally test very high, I always rock standardized tests(only passed 2nd-semester Chemestry because the final was a Standardized Test), I know a lot about a number of things, but I also am at risk to fail out of my Computer Engineering degree, for which I just finished year 6 out of 4.(This actually makes some sense.  I'm a poster-child for Attention Deficit Disorder.)

Also, normal people are idiots.  I consider an IQ of 100 to indicate clinical retardation.


On the topic of age restrictions, I bought the original Halo game at Best Buy about five years ago, and the checkout lady simply asked my birth date.  At the same time, even with stubble coating my chin, most people assume me to be 19 or 20 years old.

I turned 24 last Thursday.

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

Easy way to diagnose idiots:

Tell them half the people in the world have lower than average intelligence. If they respond surprised, they're stupid. If they say "Yeah. People are stupid", they're stupid.

But if they say "Yeah... That's what average means..." then they are smart.

Um, doesn't that just mean that they know what average means?

Also, some people who know what average means still wouldn't get that right off the bat.

Actually less then half have lower than average intelligence so I am wondering who the smart one in this picture is.

However because I don't want to wait until someone gets the punch line (Stomach problems) here is why!

Some people have "Average" intelligence, meaning that it is impossible for both higher and lower to have half. This applies if you use a Razor edge or Intelligence Range. In fact since a lot of people use an intelligence Range I am starting to think all the people in your scenario are stupid.

Well that and you can also include the fact that the population would need to be an even number as well making a true half impossible.

On a side note: As one person said "A Person is smart, people are dumb"
