<< Why don't you two genuises start a new thread on your IQ scores? >>

OK.

Let's start it from here:

<< I don't believe in them. >>

Yair.

I know what yah mean.

My pet hate is the metric measurement of distance. After all, what kind of savant would base the whole kerboodle on the alleged distance [One metre] around Napoleon's waist?

And I don't go much on kilograms and pounds and milligrams and feet and miles and kilojoules and millicuries and the measurement of altitudes and pressures and tensions, too.

And did I mention that I am also not fond of my taylors' measuring tape? [Which, by the year, continues to grow longer!]

But, darn me!

All of those really mean units of measurement of all of those things just ignore how my Mommy -- who capped her IQ test -- and I feel.

And carry on being just that: All of those darned fixed and scientific measurements of all of those darned things!

You got me on that one.

I'm am the guy who wants to keep the metric system down.

I'm not against measuring intelligence, I just don't think IQ tests do a good job of it.

I am bothered by the fact that we have to much faith in such an imperfect system of measuring intelligence.

Nothing more then that.

If it was a better test, then I'd be a supporter.
