• I realize IQ is supposedly pretty static......

    From michael anderson@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 17 11:43:49 2023
    but even these online IQ tests that are an hour long are pretty consistent with me. I've taken one a week for the last month. Different questions of course. I've tried to be well rested for each and take them under similar circumstances.

    My scores?

    86, 88, 86, 84, 87

    Unless I'm an outlier here, these 'quick IQ tests' are super consistent.

    I told the psychologist in our group this(I didn't share my scores lol), and he said that for accurate and consistent results you need a more thorough eval and you just can't use these free online things with no administrator, but I don't
    know......

    Honestly, it matters not one bit to me whether my IQ is 65, 75, 85, 105, or 145.

    late this summer my dad was giving me a hard time because I couldn't figure out how to install a smoke detector at the lake house. He said "are you just not good with
    simple mechanical and spatial things. You just have to rotate it in there like this(then he did it). It's a good thing you have a local handyman you can call to
    fix stuff at your lake house when I'm not around"......

    I let him do it...then paused for a second. Then said "what you said. What's the most important few words there....."......then just sort of grinned and grabbed a gatorade and he nodded
    acknowledgement.

    Yes, it shouldn’t matter. Not having a high IQ certainly hasn’t kept you from supposedly making a ton of money and evidently having a decent self-image. Whatever your genius is must not be tested in the online ones.

    decent self image? On some things sure. On others not at all lol......

    It is becoming evident that being a psychopathic moron is the way to go in this country.

    We elected at least two psychopathic moron pedophile rapists as President already...
