Why does anyone place any store in these things? Haven't these been shown not to be any indication of intelligence? At best, they only test how much of a nerd you are.
(BTW, I had to work on Saturday. I hardly ever work Saturdays. When I came in, I was amused by one of my collegues reaction: "Why are you in today? I thought you were one of these physicists who had a life.")

As I said Pekka, there are a few people here who I'm pretty sure have higher IQs than that, actually being serious 
JW: Because the average for each agegroup should be 100, and older people are generally less sharp than younger people. It is not to copmpare between age groups, but relative to people your own age.
Rogan Josh: While I agree they don't mean much, if you wanted to measure basic intelligence, logic, memory, skill with numbers and letters and perception seem pretty key skills and measures. While I don't put much store by any measure of intelligence (general intelligence is impossible to measure accurately, so many factors) I cannot think of a better way than IQ tests. They ahve been shown to have positiove correlations with degrees, post grad qualifications, etc.

No I hadn't, and I'm not saying IQ tests cause intelligence. However, you could say about radios, that the more radios they had in 1930, generally the more technologically advanced the society was, and as societies become more advanced, they tend to label disorders more. Thus there could be a relation between the advancedment of a society and the number of recorded mental illness cases.
However, even if having a high IQ does not make you automatically intelligent, I think it has been shownb before that someone with a high IQ is a lot more likely to be intelligent than someone without. It isn't foolproof at all, but it is the best measure we currently have, IMHO. I agree, that does not make IQs very meaningful, although I wouldn't call them meaningless.

This test proved only one thing. I need new monitor possibly LCD.
Thist test is a lot of language and "culture" dependant. Dont'expect to measure anything too much.
148 in more real test. Actually in bus drive in 45 min from hour alowed. ^_^

I knew you'd get jealous. Doesn't go with your narcisistic utopia.

It's lonely up here and windy too, but it's always good to laugh at these losers. 
There wasn't one for under 15.
A new sigline 
Big Congrats to JW!
