iq tests...good? bad? meaningful? bunk?

mr3 — Thu, 27 May 2004 17:44:07 GMT

hello everyone! first i gotta say i'm new (thx ms. mitzi!), so i guess that's an intro hello. here's my confession: i get the feeling i am pretty damn nerdy. ok, now that that's out of the way...sorry to jump right in with a new topic, but i really wanted to ask what everyone thought about the idea of...iq tests. i'm guessing it's a hot debated topic. it's been a topic of interest for me lately for some wack reason. a couple of factoids i picked up (if i remember right): the average iq is supposedly 100. each standard deviation up or down is 15. einstein was reportedly measured somewhere around 170 or so.

so what do y'all think of the idea of measuring intelligence? is it possible? does it have any meaning? does anyone have moral reservations about it? i'll throw in a few links to online tests (i hope that's allowed). one problem with these online tests is most of them force you to set up a login, so i'd probably use an email with a beefy spam filter if you decide to try it...

I am currently attempting to optimize my lifestyle and methods to my madness. I like mental efficiency. I enjoy the works of Tony Buzan, David Allen, and George Polya.

Nerdcore

Rashid — Sun, 07 Mar 2004 04:09:35 GMT

Being as culturally oblivious as I am (a sign of my nerdiness, perhaps), I don't know what "nerdcore" refers to. The first time I saw the word was a couple of weeks ago in a thread on a different nerd community, but it was all in reference to music. So I figured it was another music genre. But it seems like it is being used here to refer to any aspect of what may be viewed as part of being a nerd.
I'm curious to hear how the different members of this community use the phrase. Has an admirable ring to it, whatever it may be.
