Would be cool to be in Mensa, just to see I would be capable of it. But even if I made it, I wouldnt go to the conferences.

Wow, as a gifted person myself I can say with confidence that I would NEVER join Mensa after watching this video. The questions at 3:50 have nothing to do with being "gifted" because it's simply information. Off hand I'm not totally sure how many stars were on the flag in 1935. 48 maybe? But I really wouldn't put money on it.

Mysty0, psychological testings for the accused span over 6 weeks? That could be very costly for tax payers...I suppose you don't know the standard deviation of the test(s). As far as I know, no standard test with st. dev. of 15 or 16 goes that far, so I presume it's 24. At 15 you would have 147+, and at 16 150+...

I dropped out of high school in year 8 and done the hard hards growing up on the streets., some time ago for a court assessment I was forced to sit an IQ examination among other things over a course of 6 weeks with multiple psychologists., on the stand they testified my IQ was found to be 176+

Do I think Im smart? Well I do but not 176+ ^^

I think the psychologists were maybe a little stupid :D

And yah., that question was completely bias

I dont give a fuck how many stars are on the american flag now nevertheless in 1935.., I really have no interest in poison ivy and I dont need to concern myself with it

I bet half these people cant even find their petrol caps.., they can memorise pie but fuck hun the cars got a flat, can ya call the mechanic ^^

These are the people that dream up theories like everything came from nothing

I don't want to be a pain in the neck,but I'm sure you meant: the different tests' same scores can asses different intellectual levels (diff. scores on diff. tests can in particular cases mean exactly the same level if you calculate one of them at the same st. dev., the other test is using). Forget it. :-)

I'm glad you admit it, and of course I did understand your point. It was a valid one (I attacked you because I didn't like your tone, considering you didn't like someone's stats, that's all).

Okay then, my statistics are wrong, maybe I should have actually checked the specifics before comenting, but I presumed no-one would bother to correct me on it. My point is still entirely valid! The different tests' different scores assess I.Q. differently. One rambling off a random number is, on its own, meaningless!

Oh, and Major, your IQ does mean exactly the same as your "IQ SCORE"! So, perhaps you should get informed about "these matters", at least before becoming a General...
