boy, you're awfully crabby today.

Nah, just something that annoys me. People ALWAYS claim high IQ, it never fails. Strange really, all my friends claim 120+ IQ, many claim 140+, yet none know what they are really claiming, they just think they are saying they are above average. I would imagine half of them have never actually taken a REAL IQ test, just some internet junk.
So if 85-114 is average, where are all the people that fall on the low scale? It is bullshit, see? People don't put thier real IQ, just as women don't like to put thier real age.
1% of the world above 135, yet looking at this thread, it would seem that really intelligent people bodybuild and spend thier days on message boards, instead of reading Milton or something. I can see a high percent of people comming in at 120+ at a local university or something, but a message board where they are "too lazy" to use proper grammer, puncuation or use proper paragraphs?
I'm not grumpy or grouchy today, this just happens to be one topic of bullshit I find to annoy me the most. That and crackpot people claiming aliens are comming from 100 light years away to probe somewhat intelligent monkeys in the arse.
Yeah, high IQ scores really don't denote much. Everybody is different when it comes to how thier brain works. A standard test to compare each person is a bit silly. Intelligence doesn't mean squat if all a person uses it for is to flaunt it around making themselves feel important.
