The reason for the obsession with aeronautics is that a previous troll claimed to be a professor of aeronautics.

@Hellalt "just to heat you up some more: I have taken part to the official MENSA test and my IQ is estimated at 120 which i know isnt that great but still refers to the top 7% of the population. :-)"

I'd post mine but this is the Internet and anyone can say anything and I'd only be trolled back. My only comment is MENSA is a joke, triple 9 society all the way baby.

Oh and the Chess challenges, I'll take anyone on. I haven't lost a game in 10 years and I want to badly. It will encourage me to play again, I miss the game but it isn't fun alone.

Everyone who is feeding the troll is trolling themselves yet getting angry at the troll. I just have to say, what makes anyone think he has been serious about 99% of what he says? For all you know, like he claimed previously, he enjoys this and it is a form of anti-diplomacy he wants to pursue. Or, this is the Internet and 99% of people shouldn't have stock put into each other in terms of intellectual discourse, so why the fuck not? No written system is considered a language and cannot have the same amount of depth as an intricate language would provide. Spoken, signed, or otherwise, a language could never be replaced by a limited option such as written, pictographic, or hell even semaphore which while intensive is equal.

"just to heat you up some more: I have taken part to the official MENSA test and my IQ is estimated at 120 which i know isnt that great but still refers to the top 7% of the population. :-)"

BTW to let you know that is no where near 7%. Theoretically it is, because of the way that the test is supposedly set up (Mean of 100 and a Standard deviation of 10) but A. The population isn't normally distributed, and B. It is a well known psychological fact that test scores go up every year on every test which means even if it was accurate (Mean 100 SD 10) at it's start, it isn't near that way anymore.

That being said 120 is still a good score, albeit probably a lie.

i could scan it for you but you would just accuse me of identity theft as well :p

Seriously? I would have thought that *most* members on here were around 120, and many would be higher...

thay may also be the case...

Bwahahahahahahahaha... At a 172 IQ (top .01% - a percent of a percent), I AM a MENSA member, shit for brains.

Draugnar.... If your IQ was 172 why would you waste time with MENSA? They only require an IQ of 130 to enter. Look into the Triple 9 Society, much better newsletter, more exclusive, higher level of discourse, and lastly, wont have to deal with 130's :P lol
Plus MENSA charges high dues like any other business to make money and accept anyone who meets their criteria which isn't that high in the first place.

"an IQ of 130 to enter."

I thought it was 140? I dunno. You're probably right.

Draugnar, I seriously doubt your claim of a 172. Someone with an IQ that high would likely find talking to anyone below a 140 extraordinarily tedious.

He does, haven't you noticed!

172 is the biggest IQ result in the international Mensa club and it belongs to another Greek. So i bet my balls it doesn't belong to you lying bastard :P
by the way i just won 2 games hooray!

Apparently mine is anywhere from 150 to 160. Not that I think it means much

I'm with you Ghostmaker, I tested at 153 and I do not tend to mention it because of several reasons. One the IQ testing is outdated, narrow, and doesn't accomplish anything other than giving people something to misconstrue. Two, I am disbelieved (not counting online that's to be expected) by people who had a different perspective on what it means, an IQ of 153 doesn't mean anything except I test high in spatial and mathematical ability. Three, I don't agree with testing in general because it sets a standard people are supposed to meet, as opposed to relishing intellectual differences.

Only good part is I get to tease my wife for being a 135 lol *(It's worth her retaliation because it gets her so riled it's cute)

IQ fluctuates over time anyway. Even less than meaning you have good mathematical and spatial awareness, it means you can solve certain types of puzzles at a certain speed.

Mine fluctuated between 150 and 170 at University... I'm now at around 130 as I don't do logical puzzles any more.

@rlumley - That comment made me look it up and I wasn't exactly right aparently, I'll just quote from wikipedia. "Stanford-Binet is 132, while for the Cattell it is 148" are the requirements, the former being the common one in the United States that later I haven't heard of. So I guess it varies based on test.

Submariner, you are very wrong. On average an IQ doesn't fluctuate more than a couple points throughout a lifetime. Maybe you should stay off the internet quizzes. I only took them throughout my education because it places "gifted" children in high priority classes and I would've died otherwise. My teachers told me they weren't supposed to divulge the results but they apparently didn't have very high work ethics.

OK, Realistically, it's something above 152. Most IQ test top out there and I rarely miss a question. I'm not a member of Mensa yet (plan to take it this next time they test in Cinci) but My best guess is between 147 and 162 based on occassionally missing a question on the standard IQ tests.

By the way, anyone over 145 should try for Mensa.

Anyone else het pissed off when they give IQ tests with the problems in COLOR!

oops get

Yes, the problems should be in COLOUR!

Draugnar, can I ask, why should they try for Mensa?

Or another. I need to look into Triple 9. And why not try for a high-IQ society?

LOL... OK, fig. You know what I meant.

I don't know my exact score but I know it is over 135, because that was the minimum to get into mentally gifted classes when I took it in 3rd and 8th grade. But like many wise people said, it only tests one form of intelligence.

@ Hamilton... 3 :P lol Mathematical-Spatial-Verbal. I agree though, there are vast amounts of intelligences and being good in one two or even all three does not make one more intelligent than another overall, just in those fun little sects of logic.
