Wait I am confused. Would this make me a post whore then? :twisted:

Coramon...I don't know what you are, but intelligent does not come to mind. Your astoundingly creative name is proof of that.

Not your fault you're Canadian, Colonel. We've adjusted to that handicap already :lol:

Dude, I've read more books than you've seen Nalaris. I've also gotten the highest IQ in my school so shutup

IQ doesn't measure all 'intelligence'.. intelligence can't really be defined...

Someone might be more intelligent in things like math, science, literature, whatever scholastically... while others are intelligent in more physical pursuits like basketball, repairing things, anything technical or mechanical... So where do you throw out all the grays and say -this- is intelligence? Can't really do that.. so..

IQ is only one measure, but not a very accurate one in my opinion... it's just your 'mental' age divided by your chronological age multiplied by one hundred... and the test doesn't cover all forms of intelligence.. I've gotten an above average (avg= 100-110, approximately) IQ on the test but it doesn't mean I'm any more 'intelligent' than anyone else... Maybe in some areas and not in others, but there's always someone just as or more 'intelligent' in the same areas...

but anyway... I think my psych professor explained the ambiguity of the term better...

Baah! 100? I've hit anywhere between 130-140 depending on the test! Haha!

100-110 is average. Didn't say that was what I got.

The numbers don't mean jack. And the test you take has to be reliable and valid. There aren't many reliable and valid IQ tests out there that you can just take without spending money and taking it under very closely watched circumstances.

But as you've amply demonstrated, having a high IQ doesn't mean you're not an idiot.

A certain forumgoer who shall remain nameless claims to have an IQ of 176--or higher than all but about 70 people worldwide--but I sometimes think Pie's a smarter cookie (pardon the mixed-baking-goods metaphor) than he is.

Remember--it's not the tool, it's what you do with it. You can have a nice shiny red Ferrari but if you never take it out of the garage, what damn good does it do you compared to someone who took the time to trick out his junker Civic. When you finally do take that Ferrari out of the garage to race him, the tires are flat, the engine needs oil and your driving's so rusty that you get completely destroyed.

Would that mean that people who play 3-Word Games are not post whores? Their posts do have something to say: that they have time to continue playing the game, that they are keeping the game alive, they may want to have fun, ect. So why do I keep on hearing the word "post whore" there? Heck, I know what a whore is, but just adding that word "post" doesn't make sense to me. Please answer me before I frustrate myself into oblivion.

Post Whore!
