Doesn't bother me to post my IQ

[bad Chad]

Often, when I read a comment that I question on WG, I wonder if the poster is slow, average, or sailing near the sun?  Typically, if I look at their profile, they don't list their IQ.  Is this because they think it might make them more susceptible to being scammed, or make it easier for them to be found on social media?

I only ask because sometimes a response from a WG member makes me wonder their IQ....... in other words, what might guide their response.

Some WG members post their IQ in their profile, most don't.

Just curious.

Mine is really hard to figure.

[bobrebos]

Mine is in the negative numbers but it’s all good.  I have found most people who think they are smart are just pompous a($(holes.  Lol.  Happy New Year

Somewhere between 135 and 160 acording to the interwebs....... somehow I doubt that. I have no idea I probablly haven't done one since I joined the south pacfic flying club which I left 20 plus years ago even then I never saw the results. Is it common for the average US citzen to know thier number? Under what circumstances in regular life would you take a test aside from curiosity and some dodgey online thing?

All I know is if you can't dazzle em with brilliance , baffle em with bull shite!

I'd be afraid to find out. I was a 70's-80's kid

Unfortunately high IQ has nothing to do with good ole comments sense. Personally I’d much rather deal with someone with common sense 👍
I also have taken the online IQ test but will refrain from posting any results because I’m afraid it will eventually reflect badly on something ignorant I’m bound to say here🤔😂
Everyone  have a great and safe New Year!

With guys I've found its more about the age they stopped developing mentally.  I met Michael Stipe one time and thought he had made it to at least grad school.  I know I stopped around 11th grade.  I'm sure Lannis didn't get past 7th.

If they got a big IQ how come they're on a Guzzi?  OH, so they can bitch about it.

My IQ is somewhere between Genius and Dumb - dumb

They say on a normal day, Einstein needed a road map to get out of a phone booth...but on the other hand, he was brilliant beyond most people's comprehension...

They also say he commonly wore socks of different colors...because he did not care...and was on a different plane of thought, then the average person. 

Everyone learns and thinks at different levels...so, (IMHO), IQ is not a measure of someone's worth as a human being...

Socks all one colour FTW!

Then again, maybe he's just being a little silly. Most seem to have taken it that way. As for me, well, I always enjoy saying to the kids, "I'm not a idiot!"
Happy New Year 🎉

I doubt it, just a different sense of humour in play.
I thought it was quite ok but then I have a weird SOH anyway.
Happy New Year guys

Sorry...and pardon my ignorance...but what is a "troll thread?"

 The salient point here is that after all these years on this board you don't know what a troll thread is .

Oh, if only I were in 7th grade again ... and know what I know now ....

In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts flame wars or intentionally upsets people on the Internet by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] either for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or manipulating a political process.

Both the noun and the verb forms of "troll" are associated with Internet discourse. However, the word has also been used more widely. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment. For example, the mass media have used "troll" to mean "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families".[4][5] In addition, depictions of trolling have been included in popular fictional works, such as the HBO television program The Newsroom, in which a main character encounters harassing persons online and tries to infiltrate their circles by posting negative sexual comments.[6]

Hmmmm, who's posting a thread with a little "twisted Humor" and who's bringing the "discourse"? It can be a fine line. Happy New Year!

The secret to my success is that I try to associate (ride with, drink with, discuss world events with, sleep with) with people who are smarter than me. Which is something more of us should do.

OK...sadly, that's what I thought...but certainly was not my intent to upset or "inflame" anyone...so my apologies...and Happy New Year to all!

Trolls?  Threads? or Troll Threads?

Ive always heard your IQ should equal your weight plus your age divided by two.

[SIR REAL ED]

Sorry...and pardon my ignorance...but what is a "troll thread?"

I would assume it could be either a thread about trolls, a thread written by a troll, or a thread read by trolls.

Somebody with a high IQ should Google "troll thread."

[Tom H]

Hey wait. I used to troll alot. Cought many a tuna on the troll. Usually with a green and yellow tuna feather!

Hi all,                                                                                                                   1-1-21

I won't tell you how I know, but one absolute fact about IQ as recognized by psychometricians, is that it is wholly dependent upon how it is measured.  IQs are multivariant...they can include such things as memory, pattern recognition, creativity, sequencing, mechanical ability, even athleticism.  So, when someone intimates that he or she has a high or low IQ, it it is appropriate to ask..."By what measure?"   If you care, that is.

There's something else I know...I'm really looking forward to 2021.  Have a happy and blessed New Year!

Be well, stay well,
DougG

It varies, depending on whether we're using metric or SAE units.
