Schrodinger's Dog said:People are obsessed with IQ, but then as we all know it directly corresponds to intelligence to such a high degree they may as well be one and the same thing. In fact if you ever received a low score in your life say at age 8 you should just give up and resign yourself to perpetual duncehood. Perhaps you could wear a hat, letting everyone know your IQ is only say 105, so that people could point and laugh at you in the streets.
To reiterate IQ is 100% about intelligence and nothing about education, social economic advantage, or anything else, and it does not encourage elitism or snobbery.
Let's try the opposite tack this time, see if anyone will actually agree hehe. IQ is a load of old widdleplop and everyone knows it, the OP proves that to be a scientist you need more than IQ, you need perserverance, intangibles, not a bloody redundant test.::::::::::::)
Really? Did you know that the famous mathematician Julia Robinson scored below 100 in grade school (she was a slow reader)?
Perhaps she should have taken your advice and applied for a place at her local mental asylum, and you had taken her place, in which case you with your superior IQ would have achieved no more than mediocrity, while she would have lived a life well wasted.
