One of my college psychology professors stated that the only thing an IQ test measures is how well one does taking that particular IQ test.

So, how would you know if someone really had a high IQ?


Well who can argue with a psychology professor... clearly he is the authority on IQ's and how we test them laugh

I just want to make a difference in the world. Whether that is with my intellect or money if down the road I make a nice wage.

Would you prefer to have been born into money? Or would you prefer to have been born with a high IQ? Both would be great, but choose one and why?


Money. High IQ means nothing.

I imagine a high IQ would be pretty useless without the smarts to go with it.

Example: A person can be highly intelligent, yet have NFI how to get to know a person of the opposite sex.

Edit: Ha!...Leigh beat me to it

When considering a lover, I find an IQ range between 90 and 120 optimal....laugh

During high school, my testing showed I am "smarter than the average bear." Even after spending my entire life trying to master what I have chosen to do with my life, even after trying to get a trade skill to go to work, I am still jobless striving to simply make ends meet while still playing my music. I will GLADLY take money over IQ any day of the week, hell I will take money over wisdom any day of the week as well.

Dumb and rich vs poor and hungry is the angle I am lookin at it with now. :P

Of course money can buy a whole lot of things! But likewise, there is still a whole lot it can't buy! Good brains if well utilized can get you money :-) But a fOOL with money is simply a disaster waiting to happen. :-)
