Ha ha ha! This is imranq from the MEGA Society! I bet you can feel my overwhelming intellect already. And as you can see, even my own initials spell IQ. How I laugh at you mere mortals...

On a more serious note, however, the Stanford-Binet scale (if I remember correctly) was not used to measure intelligence, but retardation. Which is ironic, since it seems that's the way this thread is going.

yeah, weren't IQ tests developed to measure brain "malfunctioning" in the first place ?

Kurdt is wise and all knowing.

Jonathan, what it boils down to is that a number is not going to change anything. If someone would have given you a higher test number 20 years ago, it would not have made your smarter. And if you would have tried harder and learned more if you had been told a higher number, well, that's pretty bad.

All of this "hype" about IQ numbers is just that, hype. And the Mensa test is not a true IQ test. True IQ tests are administered by and assessed by psychologists trained in this.
