Doesn't bother me to post my IQ

There is intelligent and there is smart. Two very different things.

I'd take common sense over IQ any day.
Too bad I was checking out the development of the seventh-grade girls and forgot to get into either line.

Hi all,                                                                                            1-1-21

I've taken note of the posts that reference common sense.  I do not disagree with any of them.  I would like to add these two comments:
              1.  It has been my experience that uncommon sense leads to creativity.
              2.  I dearly hope that common sense and intelligence are not mutually exclusive... especially when it comes to the doctor who is doing my colonoscopy next
                   month.

Be well, stay well,
DougG

I'd be more concerned about your anesthesiologist, the rest is just a crap shoot!

Last one I had, they called the next day to check on my well being. I asked if they could explain the big hickey on my neck.

I doubt Dusty will let you post the video, but give it a shot.  He might be busy that day.....

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.

Yep I agree with that last sentence. Your IQ is really hard to figure out at times. After awhile i determined that something that small couldn't be measured.

 When they were handing out brains I thought they said trains and hopped the first one out. Unfortunately it was a slow one.

Hi Ed & john,                                                                                                           1-1-21

I have heard it said that humor is an obvious manifestation of high IQ.  Congratulations to you both!

Good one Joliet!

[Griso8V]

I don't remember my score back in grade school but I know I am no genius.  However, I have a good friend who is a PhD in Math & Biostatistics from Stanford who I consider pretty close to being a genius but he says he is only good at a small number of things, such as math.  He admits that he thinks that guys like me and others on this board that work on and restore cars & motorcycles are geniuses because it is beyond his understanding...
So I guess we all have our strengths and weaknesses.  Me: I have mostly weaknesses...

[Joliet Jim]

Good one Joliet!

My pleasure, happy new year Chad.

Not many appreciate my kind of humor here. I get the impression it goes over their head at times, or maybe just too grumpy to crack a smile. Happy New year!

I have never known my IQ or for that matter anyone else’s, not interested. I am no genius, not by a long, long shot. From my limited experience of 40 years of work and 15 years of that managing the business partnership I retired from, hard work, determination etc trumped all other metrics. I always said to my staff that my partners and I could teach them all the technical skills to succeed in the field but only they could bring and develop passion. I saw a lot of very well educated people not succeed and many with average intelligence and credentials thrive. I believe that success, or whatever one wants to call achievements, is 80% hard work, often dull and tedious, 10% brains and 10% luck.

I prefer a high credit score and high net worth over a high I.Q. Seems to allow someone to get the most out of life.

While I have spent a long day doing pre dementia-Alzheimers testing which included an I.Q. test, I did score very high and was told I am very normal for my age and personal experiences. 

I had the privilege to be mentored in the workplace by very smart people.  Learning to take advantage of the opportunities presented to me when meeting new people.  I now take the time to mentor others and encourage them that They are totally responsible for Their own education and success in life.  And then sharing in this success with those that come after them. 

I agree that a person can be very skilled and knowledgeable about a specific area, this does not make them smart in every sense of the word.   I have met some very smart people that could not put jumper cable between two cars or tie three different types of knots.

Hey Doug, I heard your doctor is not the best one in the field but he’s “up there”
Lol, I crack me up sometimes 😂😂😂😂

[Huzo]

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..

He had another pair the same at home...
BTW..
I don’t actually know my IQ..
Without googling it, do you know what IQ means..?

After you find out your IQ Huzo, please post it.  Make sure you include the units millimeters, kilograms, newtons, etc. 

[Huzo]

Well..
I just took the on line IQ test. I completed it on time and was told that I scored above 94% of respondents in the visual perception category, so they got my attention and massaged my ego enough to get my interest.
But unlike a good massage, there was no “happy ending..”
I was so enamoured with the bullshit that they’d fed me thus far, I stupidly almost gave them $19 to get the final result.
So to me, that’s proof that I become blinded when people tell me what I want to hear and I am a self congratulating, self promoting, narcissistic, loudmouth son of a bitch, with an inferiority complex...(among other things..)
100% correct...(cruel but fair... )

From NcDan...Hey Doug, I heard your doctor is not the best one in the field but he’s “up there”

Hmmm...Why am I not feeling really comfy about my appointment next month?

P.S.  Please guys, let's not turn this into a colonoscopy thread...that would be a real PITA.

Ask him to use two fingers instead of one.
If he asks “what for..”
Tell him you want a second opinion.
If he says “don’t worry I’m very skilled, I’ll make a decent fist of it..”
Marry him...

My bloke has a “digital” one.
He claims he doesn’t use an analog one, patients balk at the thought of having two hands in there..

[DougG]

STOPP!!!  PLEEEASE  STOPP!!!

You guys are killin' me!

[stormshearon]

I thought, based on current SJW standards, measuring IQ was 'white' and 'racist'? If the rules keep changing, it is difficult for some of us to keep up. Geez.

I’d personally prefer the ANALog one.
Sounds like it’s purpose built.

[pete mcgee]

I once met a boffin who was probably the number 1 bloke in thermodybamics in Australia at the time, he was working out the cooling requirements for an Orion P3 electronic update our airforce was doing.
Unkept hair, mismatched socks, bow tie with a short sleeved shirt.
I got taking to his off sider, normal looking bloke and asked him whos the guy with the bow tie?
Answer, the god of thermodynamics, and what do you do I asked, keep him alive and where he needs to be when he needs to be there was the answer.
Me Im only smart enough to work on and fix aircraft, not design them, but I have asked some design engineers WTF were you thinking when you came up with ........
He obviously never had to fix it at 2am in the pissing down rain.
So theres high IQ and common sense. Occasionally mutually exclusive concepts.
Me Ill just say im pragmatic

What the Hell? Bend over for your IQ test-------------------------------------Yea, Chads Thread!!!

 I tried to Google it but i forgot how to spell it.

I believe that success, or whatever one wants to call achievements, is 80% hard work, often dull and tedious, 10% brains and 10% luck.

Success is 90% mental.  The other half is physical.
