There is something to IQ. Most College graduates score around 115. Most people who get a graduate degree score 125 and higher. You don’t often find doctors or lawyers of average or below average IQ. Store managers around 110. The people who get laid the most often are between 75 and 90 (also the range correlated with the most violence) and deviation either way is correlated with less frequency and higher age of losing virginity.
Also keep in mind that what separates someone from 100 and 105 is several questions but what separates someone from 155 and 160 might be a single question or two. Once you get above about 125 the raw score difference separating IQ scores becomes less and less and after about 140 the test in general becomes less reliable.
Certainly IQ isn’t everything and has flaws, but it is the most accurate psycho-metric test for determining people’s work success.

dislaimer: These are meant as interesting factoids and not cold hard facts. There is room for improvement in the studies in the articles I’ve read on the subject.

I’ve never heard “bum” used to mean tramp here. It normally is another word for hobo, homeless person, beggar, etc. or as a verb when trying to get something from someone. “Can I bum a cigarette?”
[/quote]
A British hobo is a tramp, homeless person, beggar, etc; in the U.S., a ‘tramp’ denotes a woman of loose morals, but such a woman would be deemed a ‘slag’, ‘scrubber’ or ‘slapper’ in the U.K…

Yes, and all this means is that people with a higher IQ may have an increased ability and/or tendency to learn, it does not mean that a high IQ is of itself something worth bragging about. It always has and always will come down to accomplishment. The person who accomplishes the most in his or her field will be perceived as “smarter” by others and a person with a high IQ with zero intellectual accomplishments means the exact same thing as a person with a low IQ with zero intellectual accomplishments.

There are a few of science guys on here:
I am a physics professsor
Fletch I think has mentioned he is in grad school but I forget which field
Anonym I think is studying microbiology in grad school
I forget what Aragorn studied, I think it was chenistry
there are a few others that I can’t remember, but there are a few more.

Agreed on your additional comments on the IQ factoids I brought up a page back on the bottom.
About your thread derails; I’m on to you!
Environmental Science. And I’m not in grad school anymore, I’m now a proud owner of a Master of Science degree! May 12 this year.
Does anyone know anything about starting and maintaining something like a professional blog? I was thinking it would help keep me current, my mind stimulated, and may even help get me a job but I don’t know the first thing about how to go about that.

Congrats! It’s too bad BS and MS have more negative connotations.

Congrats on graduating! Sorry I can’t help on the blog thing, I never really got into that stuff. I am a bit behind on this new internet thing.

Still looking too much into how he describes himself, huh?
I doubt he even knows what Schizophrenia is, anyway.

I’m sure there’s already blogs you could go to. Just spend a little time on google, you can find blogs for anything. And congrats on the degree.
