It's only poor form to claim you're enlightened, when you're not. But,
compared to you, almost everyone on the entire planet is enlightened. Go
figure.

Jim has been doing it for years and most of those yahoos on BATGAP
claim to be, tho many use the term "awakened". One of my closest
friends had a 2 hour lunch with on of them, Francis Bennet last
Sunday. I spent an hour on the phone getting filled in on his
impressions. Interesting.

Correction: You HAD a friend. When he reads on the internet that you
mentioned his name and that you're a known informant, he probably won't
even admit that he ever knew you. Since you're obviously one of the
lurking reporters Barry was talking about. Go figure.

It's considered poor form do discuss one's IQ as much as it is to
claim one is enlightened. I had no idea I was tested for IQ as a kid
and only told that in the 1980s by my mother and what IQ was
measured. Sure drugs, sex and age probably take it's toll. :-D

Did anyone else try this? Just curious. I thought that the questions
were pretty challenging, for an online "IQ Test," especially because
I was trying to figure them out after having ingested a couple of
9.5% beers. :-) I was genuinely surprised to have done as well as I did.
Still, my results on this test put me according to the website "in
the upper 2% of all respondents to the quiz so far," and *that*
puzzles me. When I took the actual Mensa tests back in college, I
scored much higher than 132, and *expected* after a life of sex,
drugs, and rock 'n roll to score lower than I did back then...and I
did. But at the same time I *know* that there are people out there
MUCH smarter than I am, so did they just not take this test, or what?
Surely there have to be a few people out there who scored in the 140s
or 150s, right? I'm pondering all of this while sitting --
appropriately enough -- at the Einstein Cafe in Leiden. :-)

But FYI, if I had designed BarryWorld only to be navigable by those
with an IQ over 120, I wouldn't have bothered to post it to Fairfield
Life. :-)
Just as a fun followup, after jokingly posting this earlier today,
just now in this cafe I stumbled upon a web IQ test. Natch, I had to
take it. I didn't expect to do very well, having just finished
drinking two Westmalle Tripels, and didn't -- only 132.
My quick IQ is 132! What's yours? <https://memorado.com/iqtest?r=132>

Only 1 in 50 is as smart as I am!
