agreed mr g

also its difficult (possible but hard) to quantify "lying" on tests like that, I mean you get something like "I often get frusterated at whatever" well quantify "often".
Eh, just tried to come up with a good example but its 4:40 am here and I'm too drunk to think of anything that intellegent.

How can you test something that varies on a day to day, hour by hour, basis (EQ)?

135 is pretty damn good for your age. What was the description of your type?

Hehe... Yeah, I see what you mean...

Like, "Do you get along with other people? Answers:
1. Very Easily, 2. Easily. 3. OK, 4. Not so easily 5. Not at all"...

How would anyone check if you chose correctly between 1 and 2? Or 1 and 3 for that matter...

You could always include some "filter" that calculates the cheating, but then you'd be penalised if you really did answer truthfully...

I don't want to say much more, I don't like to brag, just thought I should add that.
Sorry to say but most people I know that I would consider to be intelligent remember to eat daily for survival purposes

/me is confused on all of JSR's one line posts. Please post things that are worth while for our readers, not to amuse yourself. Simply because your above post makes no sense.

it refers to

x......gobbling down a foot long, after, apparently three days of fasting, for some unfathomable reason, of which he asserts, that he would have done significantly better on his iq test had he consumed some life sustaining substance........which was promptly, a foot long...............of which he did not elaborate........so, yes. too amuse myself, and others, i hope, i was investigating the origin of his meal....... a foot long i know where you reside, poertner, so i don't expect you to ...."get".........everthing i amuse myself with....hehe................but, considering ......"where" .............you are from.......hehe..........i'll let it go this time

Is understanding your posts part of the IQ test?

If so, maybe I have a lower IQ than I thought....

yes, phant

as a bonafide euro....part of this message would be greek to you
but, to poertner, i am poking fun at the state, of america, in which he resides, missouri....here, in the states, we affectionately call missouri, ....."misery"..hehe, ........and therefore, i like to cast aspersions, in regards to poertner's state of mind, as being a direct result, of his place of origin

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Facts Curator.

This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
Bill gates, eh...cool. That's pretty cool i guess.


I took this test w/o sleep for 2 1/2 days, i'm tired as heck right now and going to sleep, night.
