Be honest, did that come in a box with one of those hand held transmitters that has thumb sticks and an aerial poking out the top?
No, but it does 105 flat out, and makes you feel like billy whizz driving it

I am fluent in 3 languages (degree) and speak several more, but it doesn’t help me when I can’t change a lightbulb.I hope one of those degrees isn’t in English given the inability to punctuate a sentence correctly.
You do realise that Caledoniandream is a Dutch national don’t you?

Nice to see a different willy waving thread. It’s normally wage related, but this one is a brain power version.Maybe we should start a " Who has the fittest partner " thread…or we could have an actual ■■■■■ measurement thread.
both topics would last until the mods saw that there was interest in them,before deleting them…it goes without saying that id win both of them hands down anyway…or would someone like to prove me wrong■■?
I see on a daily basis, lorry drivers tailgating cars in the average speed roadworks on the motorways, they are a foot behind the car , and if the car does not move over, they resort to bully boy tactics of light flashing, tooting the horn and waving their arms like a Neanderthal ape monkey in charge of a 44 ton truck .
So in my opinion , yes some are thick as a plank of wood, anyone who drives wearing a hi viz is also not very clever, or bone idle lazy .
Low.
But there again we have the members of MENSA.
A bunch of self ego massagers that love to be told how clever they are(top 2% of the population)in fact they love to be told this so much they are willing to pay a hundred quid a year to be a member of this fantasy club that gives them ■■■■ all but boosts their self inflated ego,and these are"clever people?
Another problem with “IQ” is what is the quotient measured against.
A quotient is half the factor of a ratio,but a ratio of what?
Age to intelligence? wealth to intellect?
A load of ■■■■■■■■ invented by our “academia” to justify the masses(low IQ) subsidising a load of bone idle morons(high IQ) who really should be shot.

When you can post in Dutch maybe your snooty tone will be warranted. As it is it just makes you look like a prat. So nothing new there then.

So what? I’m Dutch. I seem to have managed to master the English language.
And I’m also fluent in three languages. Most Dutch people are. I can also change a light bulb ( but only if the light bulb wants to change).

Actually this is more the public perception of MENSA, often used by those who have no chance of entry.
That sentence in itself is incorrect as anyone with standard or average intelligence could train themselves to pass MENSA tests.
MENSA is the public face of something much bigger and is constantly evolving its tests to avoid falling into the trap of complacency as its well aware the test method is massively flawed, the concept of intelligence itself is a virtually impossible question to answer fully.
Once in MENSA then its purpose gets clearer as it is the gateway to more specialist groups and iq study organisations, some government funded some private sector funded.
Take an artist, chess grandmaster, math genius, child savant etc. Does their iq set the bar or raise it beyond measurement.
Does genetic memory play a part, like I just know how to do stuff but dont know why…
Can genetic memory be manipulated, nurtered etc.
How does GM work, is it in our DNA or even deeper, perhaps it surrounds us like midichlorians and is a force that we can tap into.
Take truck drivers for instance, do the ones who can control their emotions have a higher intelligence, is the key to becoming a great driver having total control over your emotions. Is the tailgater weak because he is unable to see the futility and stupidity in his actions.
Nature, nurture is another question but all the time any answers we gleam are limited by the world we live in and our basic understanding of it. Is the world really in colour or is colour itself just a species construct based on a fixed genetic memory. Are the colour blind the only ones who can see. Should we all just carry on taking the blue pill and keep believing what our eyes and brains tell us or take the red pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
I think therefore I am, hmmm try: I believe therefore I see.
Our evolution is only limited by our imagination and to move beyond our imagination is the next step in our evolution, a conundrum of sorts but to find the answers we seek we must first know the questions. Or just carry on acting daft.
Question everything you know from balls to bone and aim for the second star on the right and keep going till morning.

Not that it means anything but my iq is 166, using a standard pattern perception test.
Means bugger all apart from im not to bad at these types of test.

I particularly like the type of Doctorate given by certain institutions. Have you read Ben Goldacre / Bad Science etc? He refers to one Gillian McKeith: who did claim a “doctorate”, Dr Ben then obtained a similar doctorate. . . for his pet cat. Oh, sorry, his deceased pet cat. Gotta be accurate.
