[Heron TSG]

I keep replacing thy for your.
If this becomes permanent...

I do such things as well. Oft do I use thee, thou, and thy. They sound better to me, and they're easier to say quickly. (I used to have serious problems with s/th, and while I fixed it, if I talk quickly it still comes out strange.) Morrow, fair, bonny, hail, and other archaic words regularly appear in my speech as well.

Got a 118 on an online IQ test.

Hohohohoho


.... I don't know why I think this is so funny.

[Darvi]

Because it's an online test?

[Angel Of Death]

Online tests are usually different from offline tests.

Well, that's what I've heard.

Maybe the humour that is lost to me will be revealed in context. Did you expect higher or lower? Did you expect to be accurate in anyway? Are you laughing because you wasted your time on an internet IQ test and there is no other way to make sense of such an act?

[Megaman]

Online tests are usually less accurate. I have no true solid facts to back it, but any fool can just place some test online.

I do. They got it totally wrong and stuff.

It should be around 1000000000, methinks.

Also, longanisa. Mmm.

[Darvi]

Offline tests aren't that great either. I got 30 points more on one :V

Hence my belief that IQ's are an overrated thing anyway.

[Vector]

I'm laughing because so many people go hurrdurr you are brilliant, and I'm not even Mensa material according to this

... I hate the psychological establishment.  I don't think I've said that enough times recently.

[Darvi]

Oh screw the Mensa. Especially if they'd take me over you because of statistics.

[Max White]

Aren't these things logarithmic? So at 1,000,000,000 space and time would have to bend in order to fit enough neurons inside Vector's head to accommodate such a score.

Yea, I agree. In one test I got 82, in another one that I did I was told I had scored too high to get an accurate score. Intelligence is subject to many external factors, so no score you get in test conditions will hold much merit in any application.

I once filled out a puzzle book, then said on the back that if you finish it you are smart enough for Mensa. That was when I was 13, so I find this books claims highly questionable.

@Max White: Anything is possible of you believeeee. Anything.

[Aqizzar]

The only IQ test I've ever taken, I scored 142.  It was a televised test hosted by Regis Philbin.

The telling factor was that I was smart enough to know why the presented scoring metric was completely and totally wrong.

[Vector]

Hmm...

Well, that was 118 on visual, and then I got 148 or something on verbal, which is above the testable range.

So I'm just going to say HaHaHa.  Also that making you look at rotating blocks until your eyes cross is dumb.
