Was IQ tested several years ago. WAIS-III, I believe. It may have been IV, but I think I remember it being III. Scored 167, which I was told was the second highest the doctor had ever seen. Never bothered with it. Got some pamphlets about Mensa and Prometheus, but was too busy drinking and partying to give a ****.
I was bored just now, and noticed that my IQ is allegedly exactly the same as Bobby Fischer. I'm much less accomplished, but hopefully much less of a douche. I'm living proof that IQ tests don't count for much. I live in Appalachia, and work on occasional theatre money and a peppering of minimum wage jobs. The moral of the story is **** IQ tests. They have no bearing on real world success.

Don't you realise that being a male or a female depends on whether your chromosomes are XX or XY. You have exactly 50-50 chance of becoming either. You can't say that women are inferior because you had no control over whether you were born one or not. You could just have easily been a woman.

To me IQ is nothing more than "this is how big your ego should be"...it offers absolutely no bearing on what you do in later life. Some of the fucktards I spent those years with in the gifted program are living proof of this. In other words, I heartily agree.

..I'm sure the moral of the story is to make the most of what you got.
