ILSnwdog Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) I wonder if Rush fans have higher IQs on average than say AC/DC fans or Van Halen fans? Not to take anything away from those fans (or bands), but Rush has always been described as a "thinking person's band". I haven't been driven to learn about Coleridge's Kubla Khan (which I read and enjoyed) or Ayn Rand (who I read and dismissed) or black holes (well, I always had an interest in astronomy) by listening to Dirty Deeds or Van Halen I. I have a rough idea of what my IQ is. I took an online test once many years ago when I was ...er... stoned as a bejesus. Someone else gave me a test another time and after scoring it (he wouldn't tell me what I scored) but did tell me I easily qualified for MENSA (I didn't realize there was gradation in admission requirements...oooo you're a 135, so you're on probation until you say something really smart... ). I never joined, I couldn't see a purpose and it isn't important to me. I remember hearing many years ago that one needed an IQ of 35 to bark (42 to meow). I have no idea how that is relevant, but I always remembered it. Cats are smarter than dogs? Having two dogs who are owned by the cat, I believe it. What does 'stoned as a bejesus' look like..? :PA female version of this, I suppose...http://www.criticalend.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/caddyshackbillmurrayunkempt.jpg :P Actually - the quote is "stoned to the bejeezus-belt" :P That was a great scene. A blend of Kentucky bluegrass and Maui wowwee (iirc) You can play 36 holes on it and then get "stoned to the bejeezus-belt" Its been many years since I've seen that movie. Thanks for the tickle, LIX. :)This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

snowdogged Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 My IQ is really high. Anything over 10 is really really high to me as that is how high I can count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) I had a friend that was in school to become a psychologist and she asked me to help her practise giving I.Q. and other tests. The number really means nothing in the real world, but it was high enough that she looked at me and said, "I don't understand how people like you think." The really funny part was when she gave me another test called the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). It's a 400 question test that reveals a lot about a person's mind and the way they think. Unfortunately she gave me the wrong answer sheet (the kind where you fill in the little circles) and I came across as quite psychotic and she was a little freaked out until she realized the error.
