That means in 1950 your IQ would have been around 200. You can thank inflation for your mediocre intelligence.


what's your point ?


Ha ha. I was kidding. My point was that IQ test scores have been adjusted throughout the years to accommodate our increasing intelligence. This means a person who scores 150 today is smarter than a person scored 150 sixty years ago.

I'm full of useless facts like this.


I don't think ppl are more intelligent now than in the past - i'd say IQ testing methodolody has varied a great deal over the years.


Though hard to believe, it's true. I'm pretty sure it's described as the Flynn effect.

if you say so...i might believe you then

Now you're learning. I'm that type of person who fights to the death... or until the other person surrenders.

122 - and I even had to try and talk to people while taking the test so I'm pretty impressed with myself lol.

Mind, it was 'only' the simple test.
