I guess that explains how you've mastered (what seems like) practically every profession known to man. At the low end you claim to be a genius, at the top end you claim to be a "profound genius" or a savant.

Saw this article...breakdown that states IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, with a list of general categories for a certain IQ level.

Did you read what I wrote at all? Seems to be an issue lately, the test is just a game. I claim nothing more than what I have stated before.
I think I am slightly above average in intelligence, with some problems with dyslexia that is overcome with a very strong memory.
I have stated this before.

It was a joke, man.

You made a claim about your IQ, in terms of that test your IQ makes claims about you. That's all I was saying.

Sorry, did not detect the sarcasm.

Nah, I think he's full of shit too.

freshnesschronic 08-16-2007 04:25 PM

170 is like super genius range, right?

Flint 08-16-2007 04:29 PM

I think it's "Evil Genius" but not quite "Mad Scientist" ...

Does that mean we're related?

The basis of my fun poking was that you have a couple of distinct characteristics to what you post: one is that you always seem to have done any profession anyone brings up (I said seems, i.e., a perception not necessarily a fact); another is your persistent statement that someone has not read what you said or that someone is putting words in your mouth, regardless of how apparent it is that this has, in fact, not happened. (It's weird, you often do this whether they are mostly agreeing with you or not. I think it's a perception of being misunderstood.)

I have never stated that I have done a job I have not done.
Name one that you question and I will do my best to scan documentation or a photo.
I resent the implication, it is sad of you... I am not surprised however.
Lending my perception to a conversation based on something I experienced being viewed by you as making a statement beyond exactly what I am writing is on you and your issue alone.
As stated above, if someone states that my post carries meaning not stated in the post, that it is only their personal assumption is a fact, nothing more.
It is not about being misunderstood, it is about people who choose not to separate their ego from other's statements.

I never said nor had such a thought.

I didn't make any implications. I was explaining my humor as a reflection of my own perceptions and as a verifiable fact (a fact founded on the set of your posts that I have read, which is far from all of them).

It took me a couple minutes to parse that sentence. But I have to agree. If I see a message to what you say that isn't explicitly stated, you didn't say it.

Gotcha... pot. kettle. black. At least I don't get all reactionary about it when it someone does it to me, or when I perceive that they've done it to me.

Which causes misunderstanding.

LOL Shawnee!:D

Is there a comedic intelligence quotient test (c.i.q.t.)posted anywhere? I would say cellarites excel in that. Oh and pissing contests.

Even if they do lie about their IQ score at least they're funny. (sometimes)

Oh and that career guide to IQ comparable was suprisingly dead-on in my case. (that was most unexpected)
