What kind of a genius are you?

[brokenhead]

A 1440 out 1600 on my SATs years ago is the only standardized number I have for myself. It's not genius but somewhere in the 90's percentile I would guess. I always did all my homework - and no extra - in high school, that was my secret. Methodical, mostly A's, not an original thought in my head to this very day, I believe.

But I think I know genius when I see or hear it. As do most people.

Many people consider Buckminster Fuller to have been a genius. Synergetics is clearly a masterpiece of some sort and eye-catching. Yet you get the feeling if Bucky had bothered to learn prevailing architectural terminology well enough to use it, we wouldn't have to learn his so much. Isn't there another term for a tensegrity? Maybe not, but I'm not a genius, so I don't really know.

The reason I brought Bucky up is that one of his sayings seemed to sum up a very basic approach to thought and intellectual growth: "Dare to be naive."

When all else fails, it's a little thought like that which can keep you afloat.

A few years ago I got the maximum score on an IQ test that was to determine the grade of my insanity.

please applaud!!! (blink)

So you got an A on your insanity test? ;)

Elizabeth
the score that came back was 146.

IQ is largely irrelevant when it comes to genius.

Elizabeth
I agree that having an IQ and using it are totally different things.

David - would you teach me how to post that correctly? Would you also please teach me how to put the links in nicely like you did in my above post? (edited - Thank you David)

>_> Hax? lol?

Pye
I once long ago knew a man with an 8.5 inch penis (erect) of which he was very proud, but he was not, in any way, good in bed
It ain't the meat; it's the m-o-t-i-o-n
I'm sure by now you get the analogy, dear measurers.


Hsandman
(I once knew a man with a handkerchief he used as a parachute, he made 1456.5 base jumps.
It's not how big is your parachute, it's how you use it.)
I missed your point just like Elizabeth bellow.

Elizabeth

Okay Pye, I guess some members ;-) of this board have to understand the concept with their smaller heads...

Hsandman

Ouch...Elizabeth.. I thought you were the one who started this thread... let's all compare our IQ's... nowI have trouble understanding this, Did you mean " Men are idiots, because they have penises. They think with penises.
Women are just as good as men. Women can be enlightened too. That's why I am here, to show these sexist bastards I can have penis too."?


Brokenhead

it's not the size of the pen that matters, it's the way you write your name.

hsandman

Brain = thing. Pen = thing. IQ = Ability. Penis = thing. Writhing = ability. reasoning = ability.

ChaoticMelody

IQ does not denote genius.

A compination of Logic, Creativity and understanding of existance creates a genius

hsandman

Nice... spelling (accuracy) helps too though, but yea. ;-P

hsandman

To Elizabeth. 2 Years ago when I took the test my IQ was 148. I also have 6-6.5 inch penis.(don't ask) I shall call him... my mini brain. ;-)
Sorry no pictures.

ps. How big is yours Elizabeth?

[bill]

Wow, boasting and dickwaving in the same post... wow.

It's not the size of the member, its who's name is written on the waistband of your boxers that counts.

[Relo]

I'm not, I am Relo lol

Maybe if it was understood within other people to relate to instead of argue against, then I would value IQ, not saying personally out of frusteration of the score of an IQ, of course?

[Trevor Salyzyn]

The DSM-IV is far more accurate than IQ, as far as the amount of influence it's going to have on your life is concerned.

[David Quinn]

Wow, boasting and dickwaving in the same post... wow.

That post of hsandman's basically consisted of reproduced segments of a past thread, although for some reason he decided to reproduce it in a very confusing manner.

It's not my fault, the mini-men-te made me do it, besides I am hoping
Elizabeth might understand it, unlike the bbcode, my post is not a rocket surgery.

Any admin,

This is a very old thread, and I think that anything relevant has been said. These resurrections have become inane. Would somebody please lock it?

Just "retaken" the IQ test - came back with a 149.

Gonna plunk down the $$$ for the complete report (profile). Don't remember taking this the first-time-round, must be the Alzheimer's kicking in.

Thanks, Elizzy

The original thread / question was completely inane.

You may as well ask what star sign people are, or how many swimming badges they aquired while young.

Don't be taking that tone with the admins, they have feelings, too!

Intelligent design began before you arrived at this forum...

-tomas-
Well, now that you've brought this up - I'm a Leo.

Furthermore, I'm a Water Snake (1953) in Chinese astrology.




-bill-
or how many swimming badges they acquired while young.

-tomas-
I always liked to swim, but no badges. I about drowned once, back in 1975, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Swam out way too far - the undertow about did me in. Fortunately?* - I washed ashore, barely alive, all the tourists had a good laugh though :-(

* - It was 'written in the stars' that i should survive and write this on Genius Forum. A testament to fellow swimmers everywhere that even ocean salt-Water Snakes have bad days. Leo the Lions have egos (manes) that need to be trimmed (cut down to size) every now-and-then ;-)

edited to correct Swan to Swam.

Libra, and no swimming badges here either. Although I did fall asleep in the ocean once. My hair was long enough that it washed over my face, creating an air pocket. When I woke up and came out of the water, this woman came running up to me, explaining that she thought I was a dead body floating in the water, and she was about to get her husband to drag me in. She then offered me a sandwich. I swear, this is a true story.

Okay, is anybody going to lock this yet?

We could use another master debater on this site. Welcome. :)

I took the test but due to an error on the site I have no result.
one spot I did not answer because I didn't know the answer.

Then you take "your best guess" in lieu of the "right answer".

What year of birth, month and day (if you'd be so kind) I'll run a scan of your Chinese horoscope on this website.

Growing up, use'ta swim in the spring-fed and snow-melt lakes in North Dakota, the sloughs when & before I didn't know any better.




-Elizabeth Isabelle-

Yes, better than a death mask. What to do without Elizabeth on the Genius Circuit.

And, our blood is the same saltiness as the ocean.




-Elizabeth Isabelle-
When I woke up and came out of the water,

-tomas-
It's almost like being born-again. Only this time, the umbilical cord was the hair and air pocket.




-Elizabeth Isabelle-
this woman came running up to me, explaining that she thought I was a dead body floating in the water, and she was about to get her husband to drag me in.

-tomas-
Had she mentioned how long she'd been observing the (your) body? Was the ocean still? Tide going in or out?




-Elizabeth Isabelle-
She then offered me a sandwich. I swear, this is a true story.

-tomas-
Tuna on rye? Or, you referring to the sleepwalking on water?




-Elizabeth Isabelle-
Okay, is anybody going to lock this yet?

-tomas-
No. There is more to this story than you are letting on.

Seemed like a long time to her. Who knows what that means when you think you're looking at a dead body in the ocean. I guess long enough to figure out it was a body rather than driftwood, and that it wasn't moving.

Ocean was neither still nor horrible. I noticed 2 consecutive waves go over my head before I fully woke up.

I didn't notice if the tide was going in or out.

-Elizabeth Isabelle-
She then offered me a sandwich. I swear, this is a true story.

-tomas-
Tuna on rye? Or, you referring to the sleepwalking on water?

The whole thing is true, and I didn't ask what kind of sandwich. I wasn't hungry, and I felt a bit embarrassed about all the fuss she was making.

-Elizabeth Isabelle-

No. There is more to this story than you are letting on.

Good grief.

After reviewing the logs for your internet activities in the last year I located the specific subject you mentioned, taking the test multiple times does not in fact multiply your score to the mentioned peak.


Either way the length of a humans life and the quality of their genetics combined with certain forms of education can produce persons of exceptional quality.


Unfortunately most do not qualify for one reason or the other and that is something we seek.


At least I would hope so.
