    NWT:

    took a couple of IQ tests and scored 174 when I was 16 on the Cattell and 181 on Stanford Binet when I was 19.

    On the flip side I have no common sense whatever, I can be very shy and can only be the witty, gregarious guy some people know when I invent myself a character to be and live inside it until it becomes impossible to carry on the pretense (sociopathic tendencies maybe?). I can sometimes come across as arrogant and have never had a proper relationship or held onto a job for any period of time without quitting out of boredom or frustration. I am seeing a psychiatrist and am on anti-depressants.

    I am a greater part stupid than clever and my life has been more failure than triumph. I either wish I could have been an ordinary kid or had more encouragement to fulfill the potential I maybe had rather than devoting all my energies to 12 dudes in Brooklyn.

    Sorry for jabbering on, I'm a bit drunk on Glayva hic!

    It's good stuff though

    You sum up what I've observed from the brainy-acts I've known in my life. It seems a huge burden to bear being smarter than the majority of people, boredom and frustration is the norm and numbing out on substances to calm the brain down as well.

    I am content to be of average IQ and am glad to have some pretty smart people in my life who I can ask the harder questions to get an answer I may need, figuring out what the heck they say is a different story.....and www.Webster is my friend!

    I took an emotional IQ and intelligent IQ combined test for college and came out equal on both, just an average Josephine and I'm O.K. with that assessment some day I may even live up to it.

    I don't know mine, but I would be interested. I am dislectic if that is spelled right and always had a hard time in school.

    But my son did have an IQ test after I forced the school to do it. I will explain. My son has ADHD and OCD and at 10 was having a heck of a time in school. We couldn't find the right medication and he was literally bouncing of the walls. So they insisted on putting him in the ESE class. Which is for Mentally handicaped children. Also they have a closet that they would put the kids in if they got out of hand. I swear to god! This was 3 years ago. Scarry.

    Well my son was not learning a thing and was spending most of the day trying not to get hit by other children in the class and was terrible sad and knew he didn't belong. So I told the school he would stay in that class ONLY if you tested him and found that his IQ was below normal.

    They came back to me in a week with there tail between there legs. His overall IQ was 165 and his math was 195. Which explain his OCD. He was trying to pay attention in class and at the same time count every word that is coming out of the teachers mouth. And it would have to be even. If not he would then add on the next sentence and so on.

    Good news is we now have him on the right medication and as long as he gets it, he is fine. But if he forgets his meds......He will drive everyone around him completely insane. He now does well in school, but does get bored quickly.

    The greatest "inteligence quotient" is calculated by simply dividing your ego by your inferiority complex. Mine is 562.

    I was tested in examination conditions by mensa and scored within the top 2 percentile of the population. I don't talk about it nowadays because many people think its good to take the p**s out of me and say I'm lying or something.

    As for emotional intelligence, I'm way below acceptable levels.

    The way we were all duped by the Borg I would suggest that we all had a well below average IQ.

    LOL, this is almost like a "who here has the biggest c*ck" thread!

    So true! When I was in sixth grade I tested at 145. I took an internet test last year and got 135. An IQ score is virtually meaningless, unless you score like 65 or something. I believe many JW's have high IQ's, that doesn't stop them from being brainwashed fools though, does it?
