Thanks anyway!Yes, we have hands put I would like to know what a "pussy" feels like... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one man band Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Trust me, your first time is bound to be at least slightly disappointing. I did have mine at 14, and it was over in about 3 minutes, but still, having spoken to other guys about it, sex isn't all that great. Unless you're lucky enough to have a really hot lady who'll have sex with you every night (unlike mine who says only 2 times a week).

red_ed Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 IQ tests don't accurately measure intelligence, but it's good enough and does what it's meant to do relatively well. People on this board are smart! Unlike me And Pa?! 140?! That's amazing!!! That's MENSA material; their cut off is at 135!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On Cattell scale mensa level is 148 and I am "only" 140. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is that one of the same Cattells as the ones that created the Cattell PF-16 test? And I'd be proud of having an IQ of 140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schadenfreude Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 Point to ponder: If IQ score is indeed something to be proud of, how come I don't see people walking around with their IQ scores tattoo-ed on their foreheads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_ed Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I would be proud; doesn't necessarily apply to anyone else. And before you ask, I don't have an IQ of 140 so it's not tatooed on my head... but if I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanford-Binet: Stardard deviation is multiplied by 16 => 132 means 2 standard deviations off the mean. Wechsler: Stardard deviation is multiplied by 15.33 => 131 means 2 standard deviations off the mean. A high IQ is not that big deal as people think. Happiness and IQ does not correlate. People with low IQ are not inferior, it is not a shame. Intelligence can be improved with practice. Most of the people in my working place are very smart, so don't feel so bright among them.

Barry Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 IQ means shit. i don't believe in the concept of intelligence as measured by IQ. there are too many different types of intelligence. in terms of men and women, isn't it that men have got better spatial awareness (and so can park cars in tiny spaces) whereas women can multi-task (enabling them to hold or suckle their infant whilst doing other tasks)?

That is true. IQ tests don't fully test IQ, but then again IQ isn't really well defined. And yes there are flaws to IQ tests but they can be reduced. The reason people don't get exposed to official IQ tests like the WAIS and Stanford-Binet tests is to reduce abuse of tests and reduce practice effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IQ tests aren't used to determine your intelligence now, and psychologists won't give you a number for your IQ as it is unethical to do so. IQ tests are used to determine cognitive weaknesses and strengths, so that more detailed testing can be used to assess your cognitive abilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but you'd want to be able to measure as many facets of intelligence as you can, just as a rough indicator of one's cognitive abilities. It's practical in many situations, though I agree that it doesn't cover everything. My favourite example is the person that can add and multiply. They'll easily beat a poor kid living on the streets with no education in a pen and paper test. But put those (rather simple) sums to the kid in terms of say "How much crack could I buy if..." and chances are he'd work it out for you before you can snap your fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
