Yeah, right... : ) You probably transposed a couple digits. I never took an IQ test, but did take the SATs (750, 800). Mensa is prepared to consider scores on a bunch of tests, which could give one rough equivalences if they cared. (That was as of a couple of years ago. I just looked, and they seem to be more cagey about what the equivalences are. But I did find: http://members.shaw.ca/delajara/oldSATIQ.html) I agree that IQ tests do not measure "intelligence" well. I remember seeing one with some problems on the order of "Combine 5,6,7,9 with the symbols +,-,*,/ to produce an expression equal to 24." My response was, "I can write a program to do this". I imagine that this was not what the test writers had in mind, but being able to program a solution shows more intelligence than just solving a problem, to my way of looking at things. ---David _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
