History has shown that kids with that kind of potential usually end up beind duds due to pressure or fame or some other variable. I'll be impressed when he actually does something worthwhile. Till then, good for the parents, they get to brag to all their neighbors.

IQ tests are just a matter of training your brain in a certain way. As with anything practice will make you exceptional at IQ tests.

If that kid did that test at that age its truely amazing but I think they do a different test for children which isn't likely to be accurate. But if they put the child into a gifted school early he will most likely develop exceptionally as would almost any child if given the right environment.



Well said, if he has the right environment he will most likely develop his natural smarts. If he doesnt do anything about it then it will wither away.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

it's a shame that most child geniuses die really young, what's even more weird is that they die through suicide.

High intelligence doesn't come without a price. I predict he will have some sort of severe social deficiency in the future.

Intelligence is relative.

The only way to tell who's a better dude between two people is ARM WRESTLING.

Who cares about my IQ? If I was ARM WRESTLING that kid, I bet I could win.

Edit: Seriously, though. Intelligence IS relative. IQ tests don't really mean much anyway. I just can't take Mensa seriously. Then again, if a bunch of people want to get together and declare themselves "smart", I guess it doesn't really affect me.

Agreed..... I spent 10+ minutes on that one alone..... And I got the same score.....

btw - do you guys really think IQ is that big of a deal? If so, why? If not, why?

IQ shows how well your brain can process information. However, that solving power does not mean anything if you do not have the drive to even click "submit" at the bottom of the site, so, relatively speaking, it can become completely useless. OTOH - if you're not smart enough to do anything more than guess at the answers, then, well, clicking "submit" will not yield any spectacular result.

Ultimately, imo, the ability to do great things requires both intelligence, and the drive to accomplish something worthwhile. And, at least with the drive, something can be accomplished. Therefore, drive must be the more important factor, not intelligence.

And I can attest to that. I took one of those "8 hr IQ tests" (it wasn't that bad.....), and I scored 156 (+- a few, I can't remember the margin on the test I took), but it took me 6 years to get through high school, because I was such a huge slacker, and I skipped all the time. And I'm still a slacker in University (I could get better grades, but I screw around too much). And I know it, but I just don't have the "drive" that some others have.

I also like playing, and watching, football (American style) way too much.....

IQ is kinda like potential, in a certain way. But the thing with potential is...it needs to be realized. I don't know about Mensa that much, but hopefully they'll be able to help the kid grow correctly.

23. Four years ago, Jane was twice as old as Sam. Four years on from now, Sam will be 3/4 of Jane's age. How old is Jane now?


I know the answers now but it still pisses me off that I can't solve that one -_-


I didn't take the test but the point is you don't memorize a formula I imagine, you just look at it and figure it out logically

I picked a random even number, judging from the names they are probably young, she obviously can't be an odd number

jane is 20 in 1994
sam would be 10

jane would be 28
sam would be 18

3/4 of 28 is 21, way too high

then I did 10 (based on the difference between 18 and 21), too high

then I did 8 , which fit, now would be 1998 or 12

took like 60 seconds

LOL no you don't memorize a formula, you can make one up on the spot. This is like basic algebra.


lol +1


I know this is basic algebra because I remember doing similar exercises in high and iirc middle school too but this doesn't mean I'm not interested in formula too. I need things like this now because when I hear my professor saying and read fucking "complex" and "imaginary" numbers on a blackboard during a lecture I know I'm fucked i.e. I need shit like this?

How the fuck square of anything can be -1 -_- fml

Interestingly enough, history's only common variable between the 100 most influential people has been:

Bad family upbringing.

Seems like people with a chip on their shoulder try harder to be able to say "ha, fuck you" to the world.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

a lot of people overthink this, all it is:
Definition: i = sqrt(-1)
then i^2 = -1 from the definition.

if you cared to know, they allow the square root operation to be closed on a set, namely the set of complex numbers. in other words, if you square root any complex number you will get a complex number, a fact that is not true of the reals (if you square root a real you dont necessarily get a real number)

you're thinking of numbers as actual RL objects but they're not.

OT: IQ tests are measurements of nothing more or less than the ability to perform well in academics. they don't really measure intelligence fully, but they aren't meaningless either. If someone scores high on an IQ test it means they could probably do well in school and are above average at problem solving, however, it makes no postulates as to how good they are at specific academic subject areas such as math/english/history or anything else really.

The number of years it takes for the Internet to move past anything is way, way over 9000.
