i score 143 on the wechsler (the real deal) and i own a fucking telemarketing company. go figure. no correlation between iq and successes. ones ability to cooperate and meet others needs determines success. success defined as being moderately happy most of the time.

I blew through it to see the questions. I recieved a 98.

Do you really want a screen capture of my prestigous score?

what's even more hilarious... they're using a bell curve distribution. LMAO.

Read Gould's book "The Mismeasure of Man" for the history of IQ testing...

Further, a knowledge of history, e.g. who was Prime Minister of England during WWII, is not a measure of IQ.

I think the really smart people are the ones making these high IQ clubs and charging moderate membership fees.

... actually, that's not a bad idea. We should start the EFSHIQB - The EF Society of High IQ Bors. Or something. And charge an incredibly low price of only $19.99 a year!

The Mismeasure of Man skeptically investigates "the abstraction of intelligence as a single entity, its location within the brain, its quantification as one number for each individual, and the use of these numbers to rank people in a single series of worthiness, invariably to find that oppressed and disadvantaged groups—races, classes, or sexes—are innately inferior and deserve their status."

it is rather difficult to coalesce cold hard biological facts with prejudiced sociological opinions. not very p.c
