There are several reasons for the scores being what they are... First off, there's no standard deviation attached to the poll: this means we don't know if someone posting an IQ score of 140 stands in the 99.6th, 99.4th or 95th percentile, to use only the popular deviations. Second, these...

Yeah, ok. I have approximately two years of psychometric experience working with people in the field; do you think I'm actually going to sit here and explain over 100 years of science and testing devices to someone on a forum? I can just say "Ravens" and voila, I've made my point. What I...

No, really... FAIL. I don't have the time or the energy to expound. Suffice it to say, you're either genuinely ignorant of the field (and I mean this as respectfully as I can) or cherry-picking your articles to support your flawed perception of what intelligence testing is. If you can follow...

Non-theist.

FAIL. Raw potential and actualized potential are two different creatures. There are plenty of people with gifted and genius level IQs sitting around and wasting away while more productive, intellectually average people make every effort to actualize whatever they have. Those tests will...

Partially true. If I recall correctly, the average increase was close to 5 points for those who trained for subtests. In case you're not aware, that's not a very impressive difference...

FAIL. The average college and university graduate possesses an IQ of 115 at the very most, with hard science majors coming close to 120 on average. Where did you get your data??

There's so much FAIL in this post, I don't know where to begin...

Deteriorating health. Everything else is your own personal observation of passing time.

If you pay the site enough, you can have a 238497 IQ.

Wow, that's some killer gravedigging. :D

That's the thing. Intervention can literally be your undoing... Be careful what you wish for.

Random couple fight? Why intervene? Statistically, it won't come to blows... even less likely in a public setting. A group of thugs beating on someone else? Why intervene? You're just asking to be next. Unless there's a fairly good chance you can help without harming yourself in the process...

Well, I do happen to deal with my arms. :shrug: :D

Whatever, man! :D

If they can't get mensans and other high IQ groups to do it, I doubt Sciforums will be any different. You would need a focused forum, specifically designed with the intention of solving any number of worldly problems. Otherwise, people will just come for the punch and pie, so to speak.

People die from everything, life being the main cause. Stop being such a pussyhurt liberal. :)

You can't go wrong with H&K. I love my USP9... :D

Same

Oh noes, they're not ambi-turners.
