Then i guess i got a fine day, i scored 148
My roommate scored 172.
It's not as romantic as it sounds - he's not a guru I look up to, not the savior of mankind. I berate him on a daily basis. Rightly so.
I have yet to take one myself. My roommate urged me, telling me that I have nothing to fear 'cause I'm supposed to get at least an above average result, but I'm of the strong conviction that I'd screw something like that up. IQ tests are, as far as I can see, a good way for employers to pick out good, reliable employees, who can solve theoretical problems and are on good terms with math. I know quite a few intelligent people (IQ-wise) who are perfect idiots.
By this I don't mean that I don't like them or that they act like superior jackasses. They're just
idiots - I wouldn't trust them to watch over a drawn elephant. I'd stake my company on them ('cause they're
capable - well, some of 'em), but I wouldn't trust them with Pinky.
Having a high IQ doesn't mean you see through the souls of men - it just means logic hasn't completely abandoned you. That does not have to be a good thing.
I don't like it when people see someone else's opinion as stone cold truth. Then again, I'm an agnostic so stone cold truths aren't really something I'm into.
Still, a high IQ is a great ego-booster, so knock yourself out. Just don't lose perspective.
