This is the kind of right-wing policy I can work with.

it's not even right wing
it's just common sense for the survival of the human race

i am joking
i have no idea what my iq is, prob much nearer 82.

I realised that
182 is going to be high-functioning Aspergers, to be honest.

I have never tested mine.
Oddly, I have no desire to.

Depends how much wine you've drank
I'd say you're probably averaging out at not a complete mong though :p

I only know mine at the age of 10
because the 11+ is a direct IQ test.

I suspect years of alcohol abuse have lowered it somewhat.

I once managed to get a score of 163 on an online thing
I ran to Mensa and they told me that was impossible as the scale only goes to 161

They're talking arse
depends on the test used of course, but the standard Stanford-Binet scale techincally has no limit, but a practical limit of about 200. anything above 164 is the technical definition of genius.

I've just realised you got 163
SO CLOSE, badge. SO CLOSE.

I think it's reckoned statistically
that the highest IQ person living must be about 195-200.

But you can prove anything with statistics. Incidentally, I googled, you're correct, MENSA don't record IQs over 161. Not that you can't have one, but 161 is their "max" so you are recorded as 161 or over. No idea why.

i am guessing
that the founder/chairman has an iq of 161

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Fri 29 Apr 2011, 12:30, Reply)

haha
I think it's because IQs are based on a standard distribution, and standard distributions are inaccurate outside 3 standard deviations, and the stadard deviation of the IQ distribution is about 15, so an IQ test is only really accurate between 55 and 145.

fucking hell, I could be in my pants drinking G&T and I'm at work debating the SD of an IQ test? I'm going to kill myself.

are you serious?
182??
(Poppet some assembly required., Fri 29 Apr 2011, 12:10, Reply)

i did a mensa test once
which said it was over 150, but it was an online thing, so i highly doubt its accuracy
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 29 Apr 2011, 12:12, Reply)

probably.
I mean, it wouldn't necessarily surprise me of you, but these things need to be quite highly regulated to be accurate.

150 is merely "very superior intelligence"
don't get ideas about your station, miss.

I know what I know
and what I don't know probably isn't worth knowing about. Or summat.

anyone that has time to test their IQ
and then join MENSA and bang on about it, is wasting the intelligence they have.
