But Ryan, we in India consider 101 much, much more auspicious than 100. same goes for 11, 21, 51, 501, 1001, so on and so forth. We do not believe in completion (what you would call round figures) but in a step ahead of that; better than the best, better than perfect.

Wiz I.Q is that program I was talking about.

I think you should get your money back

Redhat has a limited amount of flavor chews though. I would like to stay with the MS rocks.

Hey, I wonder if they have the theme song to " Pinky and the Brain " playing in the background at board meetings when Bill is going to be a no show for it?



Yes that seems true, just call me David, now where did I put that slingshot down last time I finished with it?

Yes, as Craeonics said.
Some people confuse memory and intelligence. But they're two different things. Some people are intelligent and have no memory, and vice versa. Same for knowledge. Intelligence isn't about what you know, but about how you're able to aquire new knowledge.

Also, about IQ and school. It has been said by many psychologists that IQ tests are not yet done quite right and don't measure true intelligence, but intelligence in an ACADEMIC environment. Meaning that people with high IQ will have more facility in school. Of course, success in school isn't only dependant on your ability, but also on your discipline. That fact that you CAN do something doesn't mean you WANT to do it.

Well, yes, Karma, but the problem is like I said. Intelligence is not about knowledge, as per your definition.
One needs not to be intelligent to know something. You can basically give knowledge to any monkey through repetition. Repeat 1000 times 2+2=4 to anybody and he'll end up knowing it. But an more intelligent person may need to hear it only once or twice to know it forever.

Your last paragraph basically says that having a high IQ means you are more intelligent (having a great ability to understand and learn).
But as I said previously, I don't quite agree with that either. IQ tests don't cover some more pratical types of intelligence , only the academic kind. For example, intelligence is also about learning from experience (the last time I did this I got hurt, so I won't do it again), about logical thinking and its consequences (if in a recipe, I use 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of honey and 1/2 cup of strawberry jam, I'm gonna end up with something really sweet). Intelligence is also about real life situations and dealling with them with success, not just about being able to solve a puzzle on a piece of paper.
IQ test don't measure practical intelligence, only academic intelligence (theory).

Hmm, nice test, though with very standardized questions. AND english only. Still its very close on the reults I got from other tests (135 instead of 145 as usual, but well, -10 points for a non-mother tounge isn't too bad).

Visual Mathematician here, I'm wondering why I'm interessted in nearly everything .

Nah, those are specific Weaksid tests.

I would Ouch!

This ain't fair,cause i'm not a good English speaker and lost points on those word exercises.ANW I got 135.

I couldn't get college calculus *at all* until some high school kid (a sophmore) came to my dorm room and in 15 minutes, showed me the light. It was an engineering college too. sheesh.
