"...140 - yours ?"

Mensa claims — "...160+, although further testing would be required to determine the value of '+'."

The actual breakdown specified in the results was "...145 Mathematical, 160+ Verbal/Cognition..."

But for a Fishboy, 140 is nice! All kidding aside, the idea that man can categorize, pigeonhole, and make up names for things which they in fact have no true understanding of is the very definition of "Intelligence Quotient," an indication of "potential" alone, and not whether that "potential" is ever used.

"I.Q." Mankind's meaningless stab at sounding more informed and important than perhaps the relevant data might militate.

Then again, what are we if not those things to which we aspire, regardless of our successes? Seriously, what if there were no more hypothetical questions?
