I took some IQ tests back when I was in the mental ward.  They were just a number.

The first sentence is probably not one you want to start a dating profile with.  :hmm:

I no longer care.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I've read that 2/3 of Mensa's members are male.  That might pose some demographic challenges for a dating site.

Probably a much more balanced ratio than most dating sites. :P

Huh this was largely true in like 2001 but by 2006 and 2007 when I was doing it a second time it was pretty balanced.  So...maybe your info is a little outdated.  Or maybe mine is and all  women have left the internet  since 2007 or something.

Yeah, no kidding. After a bunch of suggestions, I finally decided to join the herd in the dating app game. I heard this app called grindr was popular among men, but I don't see why. Total sausage fest.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

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

You know a fair few people on Languish don't seem to get your sense of humour, which is a pity, for them.

Is 131 high or low.

The Army says my GT score is 131, which is supposed to be an IQ test.

I'd say that proves that the IQ test is kind of useless....

Oh fuck yeah! I was just checking out the Mensa site and while they don't take SAT scores, they do take GMAT scores! I'm going to join Mensa.*  :yeah:

*I might never get around to this.

IQ is supposed to have a median value of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.  That means you have an IQ higher than 98% of the population.

(I believe the median is actually a little higher now and the standard deviation is smaller; but that should be roughly correct.  You are Mensa material!)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
