So is this going to convince Age to finally get legit tested?

How will anyone know that you're smart a dork without such a certificate?

Fixed.
See guys Mensa does serve a useful purpose, just perhaps not the one intended.
You just don't understand what it's like to be a smart person.  It can be difficult.  :(

I'd be curious to see what my IQ is.  Might be an interesting conversation point, if I score high.

Interesting conversation point for whom? :unsure:

Be more interesting for us if he scores really low.  :D

Even better to score low.  If you are looking to humblebrag, what could be better than saying 'isn't it funny about IQ tests and intelligence? I scored lower than average, and yet ... [list of accomplishments].'  :lol:[/list]

You know, it's funny... I know a few folks who are (or were) in MENSA and none of them have accomplished much in their lives. :hmm:

They're using a scalar to describe a multi-dimensional state. Not surprising that some information is lost.

Why would you want a spouse who was as smart as you?  :hmm:

Exactly, much better to have a spouse who is smarter.  That way she can make sure important decisions are made correctly and make you think it was all your idea.

I prefer doing that to other people. Manipulation is an unfairly maligned word.

I'm struggling to remember if you have ever defined any chick as "Hott".  :hmm:

Actually, at times I've criticized Yi's standards as too low.

My uncle is in Mensa & never has much to say about it.  But his wife likes to mock him over it.
