On IQ

Even taken one of those 'free' IQ tests? Chances are it was absolute bullshit. I had taken one of those IQ test a while back and it said my IQ score was 165, which is impossible. My IQ can't possibly have been over 140.

I did believe though. Until two other people I know took the test and got the same score. Hmm...what are the chances? They were both smarter than me... sadly, I don't remember the website, so I couldn't check if they just threw a score at one.

I don't think IQ tests are that accurate. They do a good job of measuring one's intellectual abilities, but it doesn't measure a person as a human being. But then again, that's why it's not called the awesomeness quotient or something. And besides it doesn't measure your ability to use the intelligence(whether you are a lazy butt or not).

I think IQ tests can be used very efficiently if they are used in school and the kids are trained based on their weaknesses, using data from the tests. If one is weak in visual abilities, then train one more on that. And so on. They don't/shouldn't use these as exams, just make it a casual test.

IQ tests, are best I think to use as a scale for intelligence, and not for using it to judge anything else about a person. I've seen people with high IQ but are total jerks.

Darn, I'm not getting any good ideas on what to write about.
