Depending on whether they want to sell you learning books or a framed IQ certificate, you're either below or above average. That's marketing. An IQ is just a number anyway, it tells nothing about you. |

HOLY CARP!!!

You´re not a moron, Patty. Those tests are moronic. There is so much more that needs to be factored into intelligence than what a test can quantify. |

Finally

I, for one, don't consider myself particularly intelligent. I can't do word scrambles worth a damn. Sudoku flummoxes me. Those questions that ask for the next number in the sequence...no way. However, I have a good memory, I think, and sometimes I can see patterns. I like to think of myself as logical. Most of all, I'm curious and have an unquenched desire to learn things, especially now, since I can learn what *I* want. It's worked for the last 60 years, so I really don't care. |

There is no test that I can think of that can establish how intelligent you are. George cannot do word scrambles. I glance at them and know immediately what the word is. I can tell you every phone number I ever had, but not what I am supposed to do today. I consider myself very logical as well but I tend to do things and make decisions instinctively rather than deliberately. I get geometry and a lot of physics, but my algebra skills have always been pathetic. I can play all the different key signatures with no difficulty, but have trouble keeping time in sight reading. Go figure. |

Oh.......that's why all the photos of the red heads stopped appearing. Could you maybe write a note and place it on a prominent position on your computer monitor?
