BronxRik Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Having an IQ of over 140 myself, It's not necessarily a sign of wisdom. Being pretty intelligent sometimes means we overanalayze a problem. We tend to look at life thru X's and O's... when life is far more complicated than to be solved withe a formula... You maybe smart Jack, but somehow you speak before you think... what gives? Having the IQ of a slug myself, it seems to me that someone having an IQ over 140 would know the difference "maybe" and "may be". Just sayin'.

Just sayin'. Well, at least he knows the difference between "your" and "you're"....Jack doesn't. "Your all as clueless as Tom clueless" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronxRik Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 lol,140 you guys crack me up IQ Scores & Ratings What is a good IQ score? What is a high IQ score? What is a low IQ score? These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test. Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores: Over 140 - Genius or near genius 120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence 110 - 119 - Superior intelligence 90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence 80 - 89 - Dullness 70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness A mere 1 point separates "Dullness" and "Normal - Average". 1 point.

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 A mere 1 point separates "Dullness" and "Normal - Average". 1 point. It is an exponential scale.....one point on the lower end means a lot more than one point on the higher end. Under 70 is Mild MR....in fact Borderlines are referred to as Borderline MR. The really bad place to be is to be Borderline MR and also have a mental health diagnosis. Mental Health Institutions will try to reject your placement as you are too low functioning....MR institutions will reject your placement as you are too high functioning. Its all about budgets....where the money is going to come from. A significant number of the homeless fall into this category. I had an adult male who scored a 69 ...Mild/Borderline MR....who was also schizophrenic....as I would go to work sometimes he would be begging on the E train. All adults who are MR receive lifetime free services including residential placement. I used to tell him off as the "real" homeless had to sleep on the trains.

I forgot to include the link which lists percentages and what they mean. What is a 'high' IQ? Interesting stuff, just too long to cut and paste in a hijacked thread.

Storm Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 lol,140 you guys crack me up haha yah, 140 and above is genius...I mean, Nas seems pretty smart, but I don't know many people I would consider a genius...he's prolly more like a 139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe smart Jack, but somehow you speak before you think... what gives? I'm not over-analyzing anything Nas The ancient Greeks, still to this date the worlds most advanced civilization, revered one quality over all others including intelligence- Passion Tom is unable to convey passion though he might have some......look at Rex Ryan, now there is a passionate leader as was Lombardi.....If this talented 2009 team lacked anything blaring it was passion.....and I do not blame poor sheridan for total team dysfunction PS- BTW........... my little slugs, pure spelling ability is a sign of nothing other than pure memory and neatness (im not), and penmanship....you can spell well and be a total idiot....which some of you undoubtedly are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting stuff, just too long to cut and paste in a hijacked thread. Yeah I feel ya....I used to do a lot of testing back in the day...but I was generally dealing with the lower end of the scale rather than the higher. I am not a big devotee of the scores...other than the accuracy of the extremes...genius level and low level (MR). They have been used far too often to prove superiority/inferiority in far too many occasions and the vast majority of us fall within the average range. And a lot of the score is based on cultural artifacts....in a lot of ways they are more tests of knowledge and thinking styles rather than tests of "true" intelligence.
