Of course I mean this quite non-seriously. :biggrin: Though there is a point I'm trying to make.

And could this "point" be directed towards a "dirty" little post?:wink:

Yeah, I meant it quite sarcastically. That's why I had the laughing icons.

I'm too busy to reply to that. I'm cramming for a standardized test. It's really important.
 
I scored zero.

That all IQ tests are bunk, and that intelligence cannot be encompassed in a test, if so I agree, that dirty test is just a gag anyway, where's your sense of humour :smile:

What test? ACTs, SATs, GREs?

Whatever they are, good luck with them.

You should catch your own mouse. Set some cheese aside in a corner, and they will come.
 
This is my personal opinion you know, I know IQ tests exist, I even took them as a kid, I just don't believe they are an accurate depiction of intelligence, which I think is more complicated than the tests would indicate.

EDIT: It's a very rough guide in my opinion, not a real indication of your raw brain power.

doesnt that count as unfair practice?
 
I don't get it. Is this a recursion problem? Do I need the axiom of choice? :frown:

Just 1 point:
I don't know about the rest, but I like taking IQ tests because I learn something from each. And I enjoy finding the answer of the questions.:cool:
