Hi Count and List,

The Count has a good point, a high IQ means nothing if you do not apply it. In fact, when it comes to being 'superior' (not as in alien), all you need is to have a good case of ADHD. A good portion of the top sports stars, actors, millionaires, billionaires and a number of meteorite enthusiasts, among others, are clinically diagnosed as having, or not diagnosed, at having this 'gift'. I personally think ADHD as a 'gift' because one can accomplish one hell of a lot, as long as they can stay focused! ;-)

"Look at that shiny thing, gotta go!" Still have a good laugh when I think about that, thanks Eric!

Steve, James and Listees,

Steve and James mentioned intelligence. Very important. Interpreting Mars source data that might promote a "vita" hypothesis requires intelligence.

Curious. With all the academics we have on List, how many are Mensans? The only criteria for membership is to have a demonstrated IQ in the top two percentile. If 100 adults took a Stanford-Binet, or Cattell, or the proctored Mensa Weschler exam...the prospective Mensan would score first, or second. An IQ of 144 places one in the genius range. Only .013% of the world's population scores above 144.

Having a very high IQ does not guarantee you'll be smart about everything, or get rich, or make lasting relationships. In fact, it can be a real detriment to accomplishing anything. One of the pleasant things about having a genius level IQ is that people very seldom have to explain to you what their talking about.

James,

Mine is 165, is that close enough? Let's have at

Son, when your IQ approaches
mine,
then we will argue.
