Status: offline 		For reasons not relevant to the poll, I have an upcoming appointment with a psychometry specialist. In explaining, the department head said I am outside the measurement range, which I guess means I may exceed the former minimum estimate of three sigma. More to the point, he explained how some of the things I take for granted as being common sense, instinctive ways for the mind to work are actually nothing of the sort.

Given some of what was said in the intellectualism thread, this has made me curious about what the distribution of various posters here are, and whether any of those that deviate significantly from the norm (in either direction) have experienced that it has had any impact on their kink activities and/or lifestyle, or life generally for that matter.

As I said, I'm just curious, so please don't read any more into it.

IWYW,
— Aswad.

IQ does not correlate with ability to respond appropriately to social cues or develop common sense, exemplified by many folks with relatively high IQs yet with Asperger traits/syndrome and little common sense, vs. many folks with relatively low IQs who are sociably adorable and have common sense.

Someone said the best determinant of intelligence is that you go to your first MENSA meeting and never return. C'est moi!

Certainly not smarter than the average bear...or Mouse :-)

I've never said IQ is needed to be adorable, or that it guarantees any awareness of social nuances.

As you may know, I'm borderline aspie, with no grasp of social matters and no common sense. Thus, I shouldn't be picking up any tone to what you said, nor speculate as to what thought processes may have gone into the post, nor grasp what context surrounds it and you at the time of your posting, and so forth. Also, I shouldn't wonder whether you negatively connoted aspies in what you said, or whether you regard them in a certain manner, or whether such a connotation were intentional if one existed. I am not supposed to consider that such a connotation might upset other aspies here, or why, nor understand how you might feel if confronted with that possibility, nor take the wildest guess as to whether or not you would care. Still, apparently despite being oblivious to the significant things in the world around me, I seem to get by well enough.

And sometimes I can be cute, despite this deficiency. Downright adorable at times, some claim.

That aside, your point was OT, BS, PC and NT.

Status: offline 		I have not marked an option in the poll. I am an other. I do not know what my IQ is. Somewhere below 115, I suspect. A primitive IQ test shows some of my abilities as 112 and another of my abilities as 134.

When I did an official IQ test, I claimed beforehand that I am a supergenius and was met with scepsis. Fortunately for a brief moment during the test my former reading speed returned (it crashed about forty years ago) and I was able to answer all questions except one in one of the sections in the available time (I also knew the answer to the last question, but was not fast enough to mark it before the time was up). When reviewing the results of the test a couple of weeks later, they conceded that I might be a genius.

However, in my opinion IQ tests fail to discern and measure my ability. They mostly merely measure how fast someone thinks and reacts. They measure the abilities of the high IQ people who designed the tests. They cannot measure the abilities of other-IQs.

The first rule of Tautology club is the first rule of Tautology club.

How many vegans does it take to change a lightbulb?
1. None, they're too weak to raise their arms above their heads.
2. One, but christ, wear a gasmask if they get you to hold the ladder.
3. It's 'when': first they have to tell you about their macrobiotic diet, their excrutiating bowel movements and their self-aggrandisement.
4. All of them: one to get on their high horse, and the rest to chastise themselves for abusing the horse's rights
5. None, vegans can't change anything

That guy is such a slut he thinks 'using protection' means doing it in a bus shelter. But Pacman was the world's biggest slut: for a quarter, he'd eat balls all day until he died.

And finally, from high school but still funny:
Why do tampons have strings?
So guys can floss after they eat out.

Thank you! Try the veal.

I'm on the high functioning end of the autism spectrum. It makes most things both easy and difficult in a lot of ways. But kink and M/s have the ability to make things so much simpler and direct... It takes out a lot of the frantic guess work.

Sandlwood.......this isn't quantifiable by any means but I've been in and out of kinkdom for 3 decades or so. Kinky folk tend to be more intelligent imo. that could have a lot to do with the fact that my introduction and first several years was mostly folk in and around the university and grad schools I attended and worked at.
I can/could do calculus in my head. So, too, could most of the folks I hung out with. Is it any surprise that I'm kinda biased?

I can also change the tranny in a 72 torino or frame up a wall or wire a substation.
It's all in what someone pursues and whether or not they are ever content.

Status: offline 		I've tested as high as 193 and as low as 145 in adult life. When I was in high school, I hit over 200 on one test and that pushed me into accelerated classes. I'm almost positive that test was geared for younger takers so, I tend to discount that.

140 isn't very high, when talking about IQ and every test I can remember judges 160 and higher to be genius. If I'm not mistaken, one must crack 225 to be a super genius but everything has changed. 20 years after I took my SATs, they changed the scoring and I got dumber, apparently.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

I assure you that they are not. In all of history I have found but a handful of people with my ability.

Of course it is very well possible that there at the moment are other people among the seven (?) billion on the planet who have my ability, but if so, like me, they have not been able to manifest themselves as have that handful of people from times long past.

I think the numbers would skew much the same if the poll were presented to the entire site, though. Not with the same extremity, of course. But I wouldn't be surprised if it were close. And I've been reading a lot of messages from the guys on the other side of the site...they are really not the brightest bunch.
