Just for the heck of it, after I read the "GENIOUS" post yesterday afternoon, I Yahoo'ed up an online IQ test and took it.

Scored 161. "Definite genius" was 150; the site said that less than one-half of one percent of people taking the test scored above 150.

What a bunch of bull-hockey. The test had about sixty questions or so, and you were allotted thirteen minutes to complete it (you had to time yourself, so it's on an honor system). The questions didn't seem at all representative of what I'd expect to find in an IQ test. My impression was that the folks who administer this online test would be equally ready to send someone with a good putt-putt score to compete in a PGA tour.

Anyway, I'm confident that most RinkWorks regulars would be perfectly capable of rocking the scoreboard on this test, so if you need a pick-me-up for your ego today, head on over to the site, fill in a made-up name and address, and take the test. Maybe we can proclaim the RinkForum the "official message forum of geniuses for the new millennium".
