Well back, in the day, the score was out of 1600. So, I think that's what most people went by.
The people mookie is referencing are people who were on the 1600 scale. And yes, it was kind of funny.. I think it was more like... 50% of the people posted claimed they were in the 1500s. It's the same with the IQ threads...70% of the posters claim somewhere in the genius range.

Oh... and I think there are a lot of smart people in the forum, some educated and some not. As for the most educated, I can probably name a handful of people that have four or more degrees.
I've been known to know a thing or two.
Having a degree framed in your office doesn't mean if you still think the earth is 4 Billion years old and that man evolved from a fish.
And these so-called educated people you speak of are the first ones to want coach Pop fired and Tony Parker traded with every Spurs loss?
That is wisdom at its finest!
Take Tpark for example he claims to have a Masters degree and yet he has the attention span of a five year old and a mouth like a 4 dollar hooker.
Genius IQ supposedly starts at 140, I've scored in the 140's on the one's I've taken, but I really don't think there's such a test to accurately determine who's a genius. I'm just a pretty smart guy, somewhere above most but no where near a rocket scientist. Even Cal 3 gives me a headache
I will tell you how smart you are just answer one question.
Are the Dallas Mavericks better than the Spurs?
If there's anything Forrest Gump taught us, it's that IQ doesn't mean .
In today's society it don't mean .
the scale is still out of 1600 (verbal + math) but there is an extra essay worth 800 that colleges dont even look at.
when i applied to UT, it listed my SAT as out of 1600 (verbal + math) and completely negated the essay, so its still pratically the same format.
btw the standardized tests dont mean . you can score 70 percentile on the ACT and turn around and score 90 percentile on the SAT. one test calls you a dumbass and the other one a genius.
I'd say ducks is probably not.
I'd go with ES
Where's that dude, anyway?
He always quits when him and I discuss Global Warming. He cannot back up his beliefs.
No idea.
I miss arguing with him.
ES is still around under a different user name.
I dont have any degree's at all, although Im sure if I wanted to waste the money I could get one. the fact that I'm working in one of 5 positions available in an IT department at Southwest research Ins ute without one (a degree) should give somewhat of an idea of how smart I am....
that being said, book smarts are useless in the real world. I'd rather pride myself on my "street smarts" than my "book smarts". I remember when "who wants to be a millionare" first came out, they had a top 5 MENSA guy on the show.... he didnt make it past the 4th or 5th question.... you know.... the common sense one's.

Yeah and you're relentless. You bumped that one thread like 20 times.
A doctorate of physics/Columbia Law degree/Johns Hopkins M.D. might be a slight indicator of one's ap ude.
He doesn't post much, but scott has far and away the most interesting thoughts of any person on this forum when he does come here. I'll put leemajors #2 for having good taste in beer.
I'd say Extra Stout takes the cake. There are several others that seem to know what they are talking about most of the time. I think the illusion of intelligence in a forum is maintained by not opening your mouth about things you don't know about. Do that, and you'll seem pretty smart. That is unless you don't know about anything in which case you won't be doing much posting at all
Some people's minds are going to be blown when they find out that Extra Stout is ducks.
Regression to the mean at its finest.
Asking the opposite question would be far more entertaining.
did you just label "foreigners" in college dumbasses because they don't speak english perfectly?
Yeah, you're the posterchild for knowledge and intelligence...
I am only as smart as people see me to be.
I know right...
I scored about 1530 and my IQ, well its a solid 145
So i am probably the smartest....just sayin...
