That was very smart of you.Just voted "moron" for myself.
Thank you.
Heh. Neither wikkid nor I will take credit for deep smart. Deep smart turns mathematics into soul. I turn it into garbage. That's how I look at it.Any time I start to feel like I’m decently smart wik or @rockaction write a post and I realize I should have voted Velcro shoes.
those people are from Gibson, WIotb_lifer said:would be a 1%er if ya relocated to Manitowoc, no?
I fool everyone by buying laced shoes but making them loose enough to become slip-ons.Ah, he got the Velcros.
~ 359.50 factoring inflationI had a 135 IQ back in second grade (1982). Where does that put me these days?
What was it like going to a school with 3 students?I thought I was smart in HS cause I was the valedictorian. I'm an idiot.
Very spacious school buses.What was it like going to a school with 3 students?
Lots 1 on 1 time with the teachers too I guess. But man team sports must have been a drag.Very spacious school buses.What was it like going to a school with 3 students?
Second grade is still second grade... idiot.I had a 135 IQ back in second grade (1982). Where does that put me these days?
Are you suggesting morons don't know how to vote?the 2 votes for moron are probably selling themselves short. you were able to figure out how to vote in the poll in the 1st place. that alone probably scores you out of the bottom 10%
I think that question has already been answered.Are you suggesting morons don't know how to vote?

This. This is the answer. I know so little, so I advocate much less forcefully than I once did. I find it leaves me with a lot of room to grow, a lot of room to learn. Taking out positions causes dissonance, which I think is the static of self-learning and improvement.I don't know the answer to this question, but one of the most enlightening days of my life was when I realized how little I actually knew.
I'm plagurizing this comment.I would score well on an IQ test and I did extremely well on my SATs. I’m also very financially savvy (Which will allow me to retire at 55 even with 2 little kids). But I’m not “smart”. I’m pretty sure I know way less than the average FBG. I voted 20-40%
What prompted you to join? What are some benefits of membership?TNS = Top 0.1% and Mega = Top 0.0001%
Interesting question.What prompted you to join? What are some benefits of membership?
This is probably where I fit in. I am the best of the best at what I do but I am pretty much a one trick pony. In my defense I will say I have changed that trick up a few times and I do feel capable of changing it up again. I feel that time slipping away is more of an issue than my smartness.Otis is wicked smaht but only in a few very particular ways. I’m like the ultimate killer tool for those very specific things in the world, and believe I can stack up against the very best. For everything else I’m tremendously average.
Ya that whole “battle with the bird” thing really tore into your ranking a bit.Otis is wicked smaht but only in a few very particular ways. I’m like the ultimate killer tool for those very specific things in the world, and believe I can stack up against the very best. For everything else I’m tremendously average.
I'm pretty d*ng quick with computation and people act like it makes me smart, when I feel it's more along the lines of a parlor trick.I was great at trivia and people would be like, "Wow. You're like really smart." And I'd think, that's not smart. I'm really good at seeing patterns and would have loved to be some sort of codebreaker in the government. Problem is a lot of that is math. And while I'm good with the concepts of math, I can't DO math.
I wanted to be either a meteorologist or an FBI Agent. Was crushed to learn that you needed to be good at math to be either.
I was good at math once upon a time but really just figuring out a bunch of similar problems on a page. When there were word problems I wasn’t as good.I was great at trivia and people would be like, "Wow. You're like really smart." And I'd think, that's not smart.

This was my thing, too. I'm sure it has some great benefits, but after I missed out on Mensa, I saw that it was like $100 a year or a month. I forget. But I thought, "Hell, I could put it on my resume for free if I wanted to. That seems smarter than paying for it."Smart enough not to pay to join a “smart people club.”
If it makes you feel better, I've never thought "Wow. You're like really smart." about you.I was great at trivia and people would be like, "Wow. You're like really smart."

I'm guessing no one on this board has thought that.If it makes you feel better, I've never thought "Wow. You're like really smart." about you.
