What can I possibly say to that but :pbpbpbp ?

*giggle* Duncha just love it when people tease?

Not bad - for a herbivore! :)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

The smart herbivore is the one who survives. :)

[animist.livejournal.com]

Ah yes... the early bird gets te worm; I always wondered what the early herbivore gets, and now I know: away!

I second the thbtbtbtbtbtbtbt!!!

115 on mine, not bad I guess. But then stallions are smart. Right? Right.

I was under the impression that stallions did their thinking with something other than the brain. ;P

We do... that's why the lower appendage is so big... *g*

Shot myself in the foot again, posting my results, knowing full well I have genius friends.

Nah. You have aptitudes that I know I can't touch. Mechanical, for one thing. A 15 question quiz is hardly more than a rough predictor. I seem to recall that all IQ tests really are just tests of how well you take tests.

[duskwuff.livejournal.com]

No, I think that's the SAT you're thinking of. Most proper IQ tests (not the online quizzes!) are actually a decent test of general intelligence, so far as that can be defined.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I'm not convinced. I have actually scored as high as 170 on supposedly standard IQ tests. That seems absurdly high. And yes, I "test" well. Always have, whether it's the SAT or someone's midterm.

[quickcasey.livejournal.com]

I was just making light of it, I realize it's an on-line quiz after all.

[animist.livejournal.com]

You can't judge an IQ by an LJ quiz... I would not sweat it!

[quickcasey.livejournal.com]

I was just funnin' with you guys.

[duskwuff.livejournal.com]

Apparently, my d6 has an IQ of 90. Not bad.

(Rolled a six-sided die for each question. 1 for first response, 2 for second, 3 for third, and 4, 5, or 6 for roll again.)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

That's more or less the result I'd have expected. It would be interesting to try that with a serious IQ test and see what the results were.

This thing can't be a valid measurement of IQ, even within some sloppy range, because it doesn't ask your age. By definition, IQ requires a comparison of mental abilities and skills to physical age. As a result, most of us show scores that gradually decrease as we grow older.

[duskwuff.livejournal.com]

I've taken a real IQ test, actually, and you really couldn't apply the same technique, because a lot of it is based on "performance" tests (i.e. "listen to these numbers and repeat them back in reverse order", "reorder these pictures to make them tell a story", etc). Multiple-choice just doesn't cut it.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Some are like that, some are not. And, of course, they get different results with the same individual. In the 50s and 60s, IQ tests frequently used by educational institutions were entirely written and consisted either of multiple choice or follow the instructions type questions. Obviously, those were slanted toward verbal ability and weak on spatial recognition, or other right brain abilities such as aural discrimination. Testees who had high verbal abilities scored higher than those who were not fluent in the language, for instance. Every IQ test has weaknesses and emphases. I remember questions that had to do with colors, that a person with color blindness would have perhaps failed, though it would be no indication of their intelligence or lack of same.

keep the brains.....I may be stupid,but I bet my penis is bigger :D

LoL

j/k

[altivo.livejournal.com]

You can draw better than I can, too. A valid IQ test measures spacial perceptions and other right brain abilities as well as verbal and math.

As for physical advantages, it's obvious from your posts that you have some over me. But no, I wouldn't trade either. A sign of mental health is the realization that we wouldn't want to give up our identity (who we are) for some attribute that we feel we lack. :)

can you try to speak southern american and repeat that?

I dunno whether to aggree or be insulted :P

[altivo.livejournal.com]

How about:

Don't sweat it, Bubba. Come have a beer?

[shadowtxhorse.livejournal.com]

Oooooh... multiple syllable words concatenated together to form intertwined locution of extended meaning and content. :P

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Did I impress you? Good, let's just sneak off somewhere and practice on each other...

[shadowtxhorse.livejournal.com]

Perhaps some verbal intercourse? :P
