Step 1: GTF out of Tennessee.

Ever heard of Vanderbilt?

Sometimes you can be to smart.

How about...the big four music labels, the largest area of healthcare companies, and home of Nissan USA. That's just Nashville.

But, hey, Tennessee is full of rednecks (not unlike the majority of other US states) and in the south. Let's make fun of them!

It's kind of like Illinois. Yes, there is Chicago (and there's a lot to it) but outside of that small area, there's nothing.

Kinda. We do have Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga. All of those cities have some thing to offer.

Bucksnort, Lexington, Milan, Cleveland...etc...yeah, the majority of TN sucks.

Never really understood mensa. Top 1% is HUGE when you're talking about the ENTIRE POPULATION.

It should be like Top. 01% or something. Top 1% is for highschools and crap.

Looks like a retard did their webpage.

Odd they take GRE, SAT and the like as qualifications.

I thought that was strange too. They don't take the new version of the GRE though. I've been a member of Mensa on and off. I never really got involved with them, so I let my membership slip. I don't know that there would be any value in joining something like the Mega Society or Triple-Nine beyond just saying that you were a member. Even then, showing your test scores is just as (not) useful and doesn't cost anything.

I never joined Mensa. I was pushed to by relatives in the Chicago area where that membership was more useful (almost like a niche chamber of commerce).

My IQ is near genius. I was in the gifted program since 5th grade.

You are seriously the most awesomest[sic] person in the world.

I love you beyond words.

I started reading an article on there and became disappointed.

All of us can imagine what life would be like without energy from oil. But can any of us
define exactly what energy is?
“Energy is, ...well...er...um.”
Exactly! Actually, “...well...er...um” is an excellent definition. Science’s definition of
energy is like U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s definition of pornography: “I know it when I see it.”
This is not to make light of science at all. As Richard Feynman defined energy:
“It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is. We do not have a picture that energy comes in little blobs of a definite
amount. It is not that way.
However, there are formulas for calculating some numerical quantity, and when we add it all together it gives us ‘28” – always the same number. It is an abstract thing in that it does not tell us the mechanism or the reasons for the various formulas.”

http://www.triplenine.org/articles/WhatIsEnergy.pdf

Energy is the ability to do work. Work being force multiplied by distance.

In our understanding of energy, our pattern of thought and our technological culture have blended together into a single entity. We intuitively grasp what energy is because we see examples of energy among the technologies of our
culture. Once we have intuitively grasped what energy is, then this intuitive understanding governs our perceptions of future possibilities.
Our pattern of thought and our technological culture have joined hands with each other, each referring us to the other. As soon as we ask a question of one, it hands us off to the other.
We ask our technological culture what energy is. Our technological culture refers us to science.
We then ask science. Science refers us back to our technological culture. Round and round we go, again and again, tracking our way around an endless circle.
We have asked science what energy is. Science cannot answer this question. We should look instead at the history of our technological culture. Why has our culture given birth to this concept? What were the technological questions that led to this ill-defined abstraction? Is it even reasonable to call energy a concept?

Seems like a pseudo-intellectual businessman trying to write a scientific article. He's like a fish out of water.

Stick with me Penguin and you will fly one day.

:hmm: :whiste:

you two can be smart.

 

[EliteRetard]

So basically you took one of the 'official online' IQ tests that have questions many of us have already seen and not of the real types of questions you are asked in a truly official one.

No, this was actually in person. Did the whole guess the next card thing, remember words..and the 60 question test. No multiple guess.

You cant fail the online ones...and they always want your email and credit card info :hmm:

 

[zinfamous]

If a child who doesn't even know the word "scientist" can rank that high in an IQ test, something is wrong with the IQ test

I'm sure she's smart and all but something just seems off about that

This.

Um guys: intelligence /= knowledge. I'm surprised you guys are able to log in and post here


anyhoo: Mensa Schmensa. No one cares about them anymore. They are basically the laughing stock of the high IQ clubs.

Never confuse intelligence, knowledge, and education for each other. Far too many people do.

 

[Mixolydian]

being smart is overrated.

you know how they say "ignorance is bliss"?

the inverse is 100% true.

 

[zinfamous]

incorrect
IQ tests are a pseudoscientific honeypot for the gullible populace. they measure only one thing... an individuals ability to take an "IQ" test. each different version of "the" IQ test measures a completely different thing, namely an individuals ability to take that particular version of "the" IQ test.

there are as many different definitions of "IQ" as there are versions of "the 'IQ' test".

NONE of them have anything at all to do with Intelligence, ability to learn, ability to understand, etc.

IQ is pure pseudoscientific bullshit

there are certainly flaws throughout the history of defining and quantifying "IQ," but what you are saying here more accurately describes the GRE. That is most definitely a test of one's ability to take that particular test.

You can't fail any IQ test. What type did you take?
