I mean, with such erudite and socially telling lyrics as "All the crap we had to take" illustrating the millions of lives destroyed by Soviet misguidance, it's no wonder "Heresy" is such a genius of a tune. Eh. One stupid lyrical line is all you can think about? The percussion is quite brilliant. He should have said "All the f*cking bullsh*t" we had to take"

Apparently Heresy is for the 5000+ IQ Club, which I'm a proud member of.

This site used to be my main source for these tests. http://similarminds.com/personality_tests.html#.VIZzEcnG_kU Perhaps I should have done one of thise again.

Those online tests are meaningless. Perhaps it really is a time for a check-up... So how can someone so smart be so dumb?

Oh yeah...this is the Enneagram crap right? Forgive me. Haven't looked at this stuff in several years. http://www.enneagramtest.net/ Your Results It looks like you're a 5! But you could also be type 4 or 7. http://davidraygriffin.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/enneaw-namescolor.jpg So what the f*ck am I besides a label?

Oh wait...

Where's an actual enneagream test then? I didn't even know there was a difference.

I always suspected Neil of self-hatred, but DAYUM... :o He might be a closet attention whore.

Sounds like he was almost tempted to run up to them and introduce himself (talk about role reversal). But I'm also surprised that he didn't shoot them.

I almost didn't post the famous and fictional INFP's because of that. I guarantee you that I'm nothing like Wesley Crusher, Julia Roberts, Deanna Troi or Frodo Baggins.

Well that's what I usually get. Never tried this particular test until now. Hope it's as accurate as an IQ test.

There is some interesting creative guitar work on VH3. Too bad most of it is ruined by Gary Cherone's vocals...

They could probably play anything they want now except for the songs where they would have to use a sequencer for Geddy's vocals.

I got INFP here. http://www.16personalities.com/ INFP personality INFP personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the INFP personality type - but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration. Being a part of the Diplomat (NF) personality group, INFPs are guided by their principles, rather than by logic (Analysts), excitement (Explorers), or practicality (Sentinels). When deciding how to move forward, they will look to honor, beauty, morality and virtue - INFPs are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments. People who share the INFP personality type are proud of this quality, and rightly so, but not everyone understands the drive behind these feelings, and it can lead to isolation. All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost. J. R. R. Tolkien We Know What We Are, But Know Not What We May Be At their best, these qualities enable INFPs to communicate deeply with others, easily speaking in metaphors and parables, and understanding and creating symbols to share their ideas. The strength of this intuitive communication style lends itself well to creative works, and it comes as no surprise that many famous INFPs are poets, writers and actors. Understanding themselves and their place in the world is important to INFPs, and they explore these ideas by projecting themselves into their work. INFPs have a talent for self-expression, revealing their beauty and their secrets through metaphors and fictional characters. INFPs’ ability with language doesn’t stop with their native tongue, either - as with most people who share the Diplomat personality types, they are considered gifted when it comes to learning a second (or third!) language. Their gift for communication also lends itself well to INFPs’ desire for harmony, a recurring theme with Diplomats, and helps them to move forward as they find their calling. Listen to Many People, But Talk to Few Unlike their Extraverted cousins though, INFPs will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause - spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix. This is a sad sight for INFPs’ friends, who will come to depend on their rosy outlook. If they are not careful, INFPs can lose themselves in their quest for good and neglect the day-to-day upkeep that life demands. INFPs often drift into deep thought, enjoying contemplating the hypothetical and the philosophical more than any other personality type. Left unchecked, INFPs may start to lose touch, withdrawing into "hermit mode", and it can take a great deal of energy from their friends or partner to bring them back to the real world. Luckily, like the flowers in spring, INFP’s affection, creativity, altruism and idealism will always come back, rewarding them and those they love perhaps not with logic and utility, but with a world view that inspires compassion, kindness and beauty wherever they go. Famous INFPs: William Shakespeare J.R.R. Tolkien Björk Johnny Depp Julia Roberts Lisa Kudrow Tom Hiddleston Homer Virgil Fictional INFPs: “Frodo Baggins” from The Lord of the Rings “Anne of Green Gables” “Fox Mulder” from X-Files “Deanna Troi” from Star Trek “Wesley Crusher” from Star Trek

I doubt that. Is that result from a real IQ test or one of this stupid online ones? Regardless, IQ doesn't necessarily equate to a "thinking-man". Savants can have a remarkably high IQ. Actually, the number you see is a result of a test administered by my second-grade guidance counselor. :P It is 100% real. So it's outdated? Cool. IQ isn't something you gain or lose. It can't be "outdated." IQ can definitely change over time... In addition to that, results change since the test is conducted differently given your age. Your most fitting results will be the ones you receive when you take the test during adulthood. Anything can change. Maybe him not knowing this is a sign that he's lost a few points over the years... http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/19/health/iq-score-meaning/index.html What it doesn't mean "The difficulty with these kinds of tests is that they're a snapshot," Van Gemert said. "We see what the kid looks like on this day, on this particular test, with this particular tester." An IQ score doesn't measure your practical intelligence: knowing how to make things work, says Richard Nisbett, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. It doesn't measure your creativity. It doesn't measure your curiosity. It doesn't tell your parents or teachers about your emotional readiness. Maybe as a 5-year-old, you can read and understand The Economist. But are you prepared to deal with stories about war-torn countries or prisoners on death row? It would be a mistake, Van Gemert says, to look at a child with a high IQ as nothing more than a brain. Like any trait -- blue eyes, big feet -- their IQ is just one part of who they are. Your IQ can change over time A lot of factors can affect your IQ score over time. Poverty. Nutrition. Stress. How familiar you are with standardized tests. Nisbett's research has shown that children from lower socioeconomic levels adopted into a middle-class family often increase their IQ scores by 15 to 20 points. "Heritability is not as great as some people (believe)," Nisbett said. "Environmental factors are very potent." In one study, researchers tested 33 adolescents' intelligence once and then again four years later. In that short amount of time, some of their IQ scores varied by more than 20 points. The changes matched with structural and functional changes in their brains. Kids who are geniuses at age 2 rarely stay that way, experts say. It's easier, Van Gemert explains, for young children to distinguish themselves on the curve. In other words, it's easy to spot a genius 3-year-old when she's reading at a fifth-grade level and speaks fluent Spanish. But what makes one 47-year-old more intelligent than another? Is it education? Life experience? Their ability to put together a piece of furniture from IKEA? http://www.livescience.com/36143-iq-change-time.html Richard Nisbett, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan: Yes, your IQ can change over time. But [iQ] tests give you the same answer to a very substantial extent, even over a period of year. The older you are, the more stable your test score will be. The most volatility in IQ scores is in childhood, mostly in adolescence. Offhand I can't think of a reason why it would be, it just seems to be the case. Also, the average IQ of people is changing over time. Basically, people are gaining in modern industrialized societies. IQs are increasing three points per decade. In fact, there was an 18-point increase between 1947 and 2002. So the average IQ of a 20-year-old in 1947 was lower than the average IQ of a 20-year-old in 2002. Now, validity of IQ as a measurement of all that we consider "intelligence" is another question. *** Stephen Ceci, professor of developmental psychology at Cornell University: Absolutely. And there's plenty of evidence documenting this. An article in November in the journal Nature by Price and her colleagues is one example. It had 33 adolescents, who were 12- to 16-years-old when the study started. Price and her team gave them IQ tests, tracked them for four years, and then gave them IQ tests again. The fluctuations in IQ were enormous. I'm not talking about a couple points, but 20-plus IQ points, one way or another. These changes in IQ scores were not random — they tracked very nicely with structural and functional brain imaging. Suppose the adolescent's verbal IQ really went up during that time; it was verbal areas of the brain that changed. There are quite a large number of other studies showing IQ can change. Many of the changes in IQ are correlated to changes in schooling. One way that school increases IQ is to teach children to "taxonimize," or group things systematically instead of thematically. This kind of thinking is rewarded on many IQ tests. There's also a number of studies showing that the brain changes after several kinds of regimen. London Taxi drivers whose brains are scanned before and after they start driving, and learning to navigate London's maze of streets, show changes in the brain as they use more navigational skills. Even young adults who take a juggling course show brain changes. If you put it all together, and the evidence is quite compelling, that life experiences and school-related experiences change both the brain and IQ. This is true of adults and children. *** Alan S. Kaufman, clinical professor of psychology at the Yale University School of Medicinehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png: There's no such thing as "an" IQ. You have an IQ at a given point in time. That IQ has built-in error. It's not like stepping on a scale to determine how much you weigh. The reasonable error around any reliable IQ is going to be plus or minus 5 or 6 points, to give you a 95 percent confidence interval. So, for example, if a person scores 126, then you can say with 95 percent confidence that the person's true IQ is somewhere between 120 and 132; within our science we don't get any more accurate than that. But as soon as you go to a different IQ test, then the range is even wider, because different IQ tests measure slightly different things. But while there is no single IQ – it's a range of IQs – you can still pretty much determine whether a person is going to score roughly at a low level, or an average level, or a high level. However, IQ is a relative concept. IQ is how well you do on an IQ test compared to other people your age, and that is true whether you are 4 or in your 40s. *** Kevin McGrew, director of the Institute for Applied Psychometrics, visiting professor in Educational Psychology at the University of Minnesota It depends. First I think it is important to distinguish between at least three different meanings of the word intelligence. There is biological intelligence, or what is typically defined as neural efficiency. Then there's psychometric intelligence – your measured IQ score – which is an indirect and imperfect method of estimating biological intelligence. Can you increase biological intelligence? Research during the past decade using various neurotechnologies (aka, brain fitnesshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png programs) has suggested that it is possible to fine-tune your neural efficiency, or mental horsepower. Your cognitive functions can be made to work more efficiently. and in a more synchronized manner. So can you change your IQ score? Individuals can change IQ scores. Your score may change not because of any real change in general intelligence, but that different tests may be used which measure different mixtures of abilities. Also, some abilities (e.g., fluid reasoning and crystallized intelligence, or verbal abilities) are more stable over time, while others are less stable (e.g., short-term memory and cognitive processing speed). You may have a certain level of general intelligence but it is important how you use it. When you approach a task, how well do you plan? How well do you adjust your response if it's not going well? These non-cognitive traits can be improved more easily than cognitive abilities.

IQ doesn't stand for Irritability Quotient. Nor does it stand for "Instigating Quarrels". Nicely done.... :) Nor does it stand for "Ignoramus Quibbler"

Well, I am a quick learner, but I'm not sure how much IQ comes into play there. And no, I have never taken up drums. I play bass, though. Well, I am a quick learner, but I'm not sure how much IQ comes into play there. I was just continuing another discussion here (and maybe trying to annoy someone).

You mean savagegrace? I think TS = Thread Starter What's your IQ? The reason I thought he might be referring to you, other than the fact that I didn't know what "TS" stood for, was that this topic really seems to have hit one of your nerves. Nah, I just really want to know if his penis is as big as his brain.

Your IQ is pretty low huh? Permanent Waves is a 70s album. But Peart won 'most promising new drummer' in 1980.

No. Why would they?

Or buy a "sex"tant. Some of them are really nice. http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/07mexico/background/navigation/media/sextant_600.jpg
