Well, while we're all bragging on the internet, what about other tests? I say this because I'm not sure if they ever gave me an IQ test, but I'm generally one of those jerks who excels at all standardized tests without trying.
My GRE: perfect 1600 (800 quantitative, 800 verbal)
I should add that I don't believe standardized tests are capable of measuring what they claim. They are a good predictive mechanism for determining if a student or applicant will perform well in future academic work; they are not, however, a measurement of any real entity in the person. There is no such thing as a unified "intelligence" that could be measured.

i agree — mainly because there's many different kinds of 'intelligence'. one person's book learning is another person's innate grasp of advanced artistic principles is yet another person's social ability and street smarts... one test and one number can't possibly quantify all of that.

I've never taken one before. I don't need to. IQ tests are for losers. I just use my omniscient powers to find out my score, which I already know. It's an uncountable number. But I know what it is, I just can't type it. It would crash the Internet if I did. I know it will. It's more irrational than pi. But I still know it. I know everything. :0

I always get perfect 10 for ab crunches, ab structure and overall sex appeal. It is hard work but dedication and lots of oil keeps these rocks goin hard!

Exactly; while book vs. street smarts vs. artistic ability may sound cliche, but it's absolutely true that many different kinds of intelligence exist.
So while I might be good at "traditional" academic tests, that doesn't say much beyond having too much grad school behind me. To take another example, I regularly stick up for the intelligence of football players when someone calls them dumb based on post-game interviews. There's a heck of a lot of strategic thinking involved in football, recognizing situations or plays and gauging the right response in an instant; just because they speak in a certain way doesn't mean they don't have a quick mind.

Attractive people are treated better. =D I'd much rather be attractive than smart, but idk what my IQ score is. I'm probably just both. Y'know?
If you're smart yet unattractive, you can just use your brains to get yourself a killer job, then you can spend that oh so sweet cash on plastic surgery to look attractive. lol Anyways, I'm a good looking dude plus I've got a bit of a Metroid Mother brain lurking somewhere in this Surfer skull of mine haha.
Hey, if you're dumb and attractive, you can take up prostitution and save up enough for college!
I wouldn't want to take an IQ test. I know I'd get a low score.
same, but thats ok, my true greatness comes from my person, not my smarts, besides whats the difference between "smart" and smart, I know plenty of people who are "smart" but they arnt that smart
