"*HONEST* DU Thread: Do you know your IQ? If so, what is it, and how do you know?"

Since I know that sombody is bound to ask, mine is a measured Stanford-Binet at 4 standard deviations above normal, give or take, as measured at seven years old.

So at age 7 he could pee without getting much of it on his hands, his pants, or on the floor.  And a few years and several thousand bong hits later he still impresses himself with what he could do when he was seven.

This might be the new DUmmie poster child.

100 is median -- "normal."

1. I took a Mensa test quite a long time ago
   
and scored 152. I don't believe it.

Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhmmmm.  I didn't think Mensa actually did testing and only took results from others' tests.

Mensa does have a test, but they don't give out an IQ score.  You're either in or out.  Alternatively, if you furnish them with the results of an IQ test indicating that you're in the 98th percentile or above (no, you don't actually have to be a literal genius to be in Mensa) they'll admit you.

Of course, you have to be simultaneously smart enough to meet their entry criteria, and dumb enough to pay their dues, in order to be a member.

Yes, it's a "Select" group.   Self-selected for egomania and narcissism, mostly.  :lmao:
