Something for people to think about.

If the score on IQ tests ever got to the point that is currently scored
as 130 it would be, by the method that determines IQ scores, 100.

But you probably already knew that.

I did, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make. The bell curve
would just go up to the point that people with IQ's of 100 (by today's
standards) would be considered sub par. I do wish that could happen
since I can't deal with even average people. Sometimes I accidentally
use a big word or describe in detail something they don't know and I get
labeled either a show off or just plain smart ass. It is totally
unintentional but is happens.

Supposedly I'm rated in the mid 160's range, "I last tested at 168
a few light years ago", Most people you talk to will still tell you
I'm
a dumbass..
I usually agree with them.. :/

I'm probably in that range myself, since I can knock off a 150 while
talking to my boss, and in the multitasking mode. I considered joining
Mensa but their standards are too low for me. Lately I have just learned
to not speak out on anything since there are so many people who do not
want to hear, or learn anything. My wife is a prime example, couch
potato, thinks American Idol is a MUST see, and well,.... you get my
drift. I hate having to dumb down for the masses.
Cheers, see you in the stratosphere.
