Have you ever felt like a dead man on wheels, only to get home and drown yourself in the coldest glass of water that your tap can muster?
That is the greatest feeling any human has ever known, surpassing love, logic and ice cream.

Ah, I get it now. I usually prefer long rides to fighting headwinds, but the reward is still great.

[MaximumZero]

Waitwut? I very much doubt that.

Whoops--you're in the upper part of the second deviation.  But yes, it's true.

If that is the case, then something's drastically wrong. I did some volunteer IQ tests at a college when I was homeless, and averaged out to 177. 156 was my worst score, but I hadn't eaten in two days.

 MZ>Vector in anything unrelated to testosterone? No. I refuse to believe that.

[Max White]

Eh, I see no reason to believe Vector would get any sort of specially high score on IQ tests. I've seen people with genius IQ fail hard while average people pass with flying colors. It is a lot more about dedication and organisation.

If I had to guess, Vector doing well has more to do with hard work than luck of the genetic draw.

[Vector]

Haha.  I was tested when I was 6 or so and got 147 :3  Suck it, guys, I'M ACTUALLY NOT THAT SMART on the IQ-peen scale.

This is the product of a diligent effort and a privileged upbringing!  Whahahahahaha.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

An IQ test conducted on a six year old is not the most telling thing in the world. A relatively small amount of knowledge can create massive statistical deviation in younger people.

[MaximumZero]

That's probably very true, but she makes everything seem so damn easy. I figured she was a super virtuoso, you know? Besides, I'm kind of a dumbass, when you get right down to it. Having my brain rattled doesn't help, I'm sure, but it always feels like the fog of war is on, and she doesn't seem to have that problem.

[Flying Dice]

It isn't as if IQ is an effective measure of the totality of an individual's capacity for intelligence, in any case. I never wanted to pay to get a decent one, and the free ones are all rubbish that put me from the mid 120s to the mid 150s. Completely untrustworthy with variation like that, even more so when they're not time limited. What's the point to testing the things that IQ tests test when the test gives you all the time in the world to come up with answers? :|

[MaximumZero]

I'm probably just good at tests anyway.

You do know that 100 is average, right? 147 is generally seen as pretty smart.
Unless your IQ tests work differently to mine. Are there different IQ scales?

That's probably very true, but she makes everything seem so damn easy. I figured she was a super virtuoso, you know? Besides, I'm kind of a dumbass, when you get right down to it. Having my brain rattled doesn't help, I'm sure, but it always feels like the fog of war is on, and she doesn't seem to have that problem.

Protip: The smart people notice the fog of war in their knowledge. The dumb people don't realize there is anything beyond their direct line of sight.
Confusion means you are smart enough to confuse.

[Loud Whispers]

You do know that 100 is average, right? 147 is generally seen as pretty smart.

And now I just realized I've been reaaally overestimating peoples' IQs.

[Max White]

I love the kid who is all 'I have an IQ of 97!!! How fucking awesome is that!'
It is just adorable.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Given that IQ tests generally have a deviation margin of +/-5...

[Skyrunner]

My IQ test is a mere 113 on school-hosted test administered by whatever official proctor company there is. :c
Granted, it was in Korean at the youthful age of grade 4(still wasn't fully bilingual yet), but... Eh. I hate puzzles anyways >_>

[Eric Blank]

I have... Never taken an IQ test. I wonder just how awful I could score.

Heeey, no-IQ-test buddies!
