Very very true.

Edit: This is for Surges recent reply.


^^^See that? It's a 'quote.'

Plus, as I'm taking this test I realize this is incredibly easy. I don't even think it's timed.

yeah, it's completely bogus. i remember taking that one some months ago and scoring somewhere in the 150's. or it may have been another similarly bogus one. the one i took in grade school had me at 138.

I got a 135.

So far on my IQ test record I have these results:

98
135
149 (this one was on a scale of 70-150 too - I'm good with visual patters)

This is why you can't trust IQ tests. There never is an agreed medium.

Tangrams?

Anyway, I have an advantage over most people. From an early age I was tested and accepted into a gifted education program. Every day we did three or four matrix logics (worksheets that really develop your logical thinking skills).

I was in gifted ED until the start of highschool, totalling to about 7 years. It taught me four things:

1) Visual logic skills.
2) Abstract logic skills.
3) Public speaking.
4) How to bull-blam!- public speaking.

Tangrams?

A Chinese puzzle consisting of a square cut into five triangles, a square, and a rhomboid, to be reassembled into different figures.

i went through an almost identical situation, myself. although i have to admit that #'s 3,4 weren't really emphasized. or maybe i didn't care enough about that to notice. not sure.

Yeah, we had a public speaking project every quarter.

I'm glad we did. By the end of gradeschool my classmates and I could get up in front of the class and bull-blam!- a topic for 10 minutes. One of the later drills we did around 6th grade was we'd have 'presentation day', except you didn't know what you were presenting until right before you went up. The teacher would pick something random out of a hat like a "zebra" and we'd have to talk for five minutes about it, making it up as we went along.

That was really fun, actually. I'm suddenly nostalgic.

haha, sounds like boot camp for politics... and you're far too young to be having nostalgia, man. that's supposed to be reserved for retired and senile folk.

Heh, they wanted to put me in some kind of 'gifted' program when I was young as well, but for some reason I refused. Thus I was forced to suffer through public ed. for the next ten years.

Until I was about twelve I was actually a rather timid and soft-spoken induvidual. Around this time my parents made me join, don't laugh, army cadets. I had to go through similar public speaking drills where I was forced to go up and talk for 10-15 minutes about, say, the instructor's pencil among other random things. Soon enough I was giving impromptu three-hour lectures on all kinds of maneuvers and survival crap.
I recall despising the entire experience and wanting out any chance I got, but when I finally left I, unsurprisingly, started to miss it.

I think it was a good thing for me in the end. Just goes to show you, even if you're smart, you need these kinds of experiences to bring it out of you.

Nobodies special, "I don't need a test to tell me I'm an idiot, I'm smart enough to figure that out on my own."

I had to go to school with a bunch of y'all elitist mother-blam!-s. Stuyvesant High School, got in by 3 points. I surely didn't deserve it. Neither did anyone else. A whole bunch of bull-blam!-. Don't let anyone try to tell you that you're special. Cause your poo still stinks, aight? I went around thinkin I knew everything, thinkin I was smart. Took me 5 minutes of chilling with one of the "dumbest" people I know to learn that I was just an idiot like everyone else, and the fact that someone told me I was smart might have very well ruined my life. Plus, if you're smart, people expect too much from you, think that you're more than human or something. A word for all you smart people out there.

Intelligence can be both a strength and a weakness, while wisdom is the strength to overcome all weaknesses.


Your story isn't that of a smart person, but that of a dumb person who thought he was smart.

Not all intelligent people are that way because of their belief they are. Not all intelligent people are dumb, just tricking themselves into thinking they're smart.

I'm more impressed by people who've done useful stuff with their brains, no matter how they score on some pseudo tests. Sheer intellect never helped anyone, what you need in real life is common sense and people skills.

I take this as a rather pretentious tirade of someone who has been seriously hurt by the realization that he's not as smart as everyone thought.

if you're stupid enough to consider yourself smart, you must be exedingly stupid.
if you're smart enough to consider yourself stupid, you must be somewhat less of an idiot than the rest of humanity.

I assume that by bull-blam!- you mean the ability to lie through your teeth to get what you want. It's very effective; I've seen it work to great effect. Of course, the other 10% is the ability to assimilate other's ideas, and use them to your own advantage. You have to take ideas from the common senseless, 100% intellect people, and become rich of their hard work.

Unfortunately most of us aren't heartless enough to be successful in real life.

I doubt anyone cares but I received a 135. I took one a few years ago and I thought I did better, but...maybe not.

In regards to the Twain quote. I disagree. I consider myself highly intelligent and do not need a test or another person's approval to continue doing so. I DO realize that there are many other people smarter than I could hope to be, but I still consider myself smart.

The funny thing is that most of those internet tests come up with your score by number of correct answers and the time it took but on a lot of them they let you time yourself and then enter your own time. I wonder how many people lie about their time and then feel good because they got a good score... I bet its a lot.
