IQ report purchase is a sure sign of stupidity

Understanding the scientific methodology behind an IQ test, could I honestly consider it intelligent to trust the results from a random popup that wants to sell me these results for $14.95? They do not even mention time as a factor. I did not prepare for it and just randomly did it. This could make me appear smarter or dumber than I am. Buying the full report would obviously make me the second of the two.

Later I noticed they have dating popups too. I bet they offer a wonderul report for sale too! Perhaps we should all live life by survey...its at least a step above reality TV! eMode

Right now I know myself to have elevated levels of Serotonin in my mind. As I can even control the levels of my different neurotransmitters I should recognize this test does not account for me, but just for me in my current mood at my current location at the current point in time...and it has errors, as nothing is perfect.

One thing I will note is that all of these different mental tests tell me that I am a dreamer or visionary philosopher...they mention nothing about drugs, alcohol, or self destruction...

Which is the chicken and which is the egg?

just for fun I want to do another one and get every question wrong :)

Congratulations, aaron!

my friend John just took the IQ test as well. It took him hours after I did it in about 10 minutes.

He got a 131...
so I had to tell him about the portal Iwon.com

That was pretty funny. I must be bored.
