You people are hilarious.

Even if it was true, why would you "geniuses" even post in this thread. It's been done to death already and it's inevitable this thread will be reduced to your everyday ATOT e-peen contest. Plus no one will believe you anyway.

250. I want to bring it down though so I can get more dex. OH, IQ.. .uhh think last I checked it was like 130 or something. I should try a test but I don't feel like filtering through the pay ones.

From whom was that original quotation from? It's a good one!

An e-mail forward that's been going around... random thoughts from our generation. It was posted here.

You can do well in school by working hard. But I didn't say anything about doing well in school.

If I told you, you would have no reason to believe me and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't.

You're the second person who mentioned an IQ test in relation to ADD - why is an IQ test done as part of testing for ADD? Is there a relationship between high IQ and ADD? I ask because I think it's likely that I have ADD, but I was never tested because I always did well in school. I've thought about getting tested as an adult, because as you can probably guess from my postcount I have difficulty focusing on getting things done.

No, but it's part of a general assessment. There are conditions which mimic ADD, or ADD could be secondary to other conditions.

It's just part of a complete panel of tests to determine an accurate diagnosis.

i think there is a correlation, but i dunno. all i know is that they took iq as part of the two or three day long test.

I have little doubt that had the diagnosis existed, Einstein would have been on ritalin from an early age.

'book smart' is measured by how many textbooks one can cram in their mouth. or is it cocks?

For starters you have to realize that "book smart" isn't really a term that highly intelligent people use. The quote I posted was written in the voice of a "not book smart" person, and they're the ones who came up with this "book smart" phrase.

School performance isn't a good gauge of how educated or knowledgeable a person is, nor is it a good gauge of intelligence. "Book smart" could refer to either of those things. IQ is a pretty good gauge of intelligence; there isn't really a good gauge of how educated or knowledgeable a person is - it's one of those things that you know when you see it.

IQ gauges potential of intelligence. You could have a high IQ and still be a dumbass.
