Test your IQ

[Quality's Proof]

Sshh!,

Don't "Spill the beans.".

The people will win, even if it requires a "hardware" solution. Do you seriously think, that I haven't already understood a fact de accompli which has it already won for us? Don't be surprised if a betrayer is adverse at first.......as they would be trying to close that which will be a trap to whom attempts such.

And, no, I am not an illuminati.......as, I'm not a liar. Do not be confused, illumination is not the same as enlightenment.

Does this mean I should print this for my boss and demand a raise?

EDIT: Seriously, when I was a kid my mother always told me that IQ is like a rough diamond ...the potential is there, but it all depends on what you do with it. Having a high IQ doesn't mean you're smart any more than having a large canteen means you have a lot of water ....it's what you fill it with that counts. Both my parents had high IQs - my dad's was 135, my mom's was 158 and mine was 160 on the last two full tests. But like another poster said, real intelligence is the result of many factors with only one of them being IQ. One good thing - IQ rarely goes lower with age. It usually increases.

It IS a fun game and it's interesting to see how the testers "interpret" the score and define what sort of person you are

IQ is sometimes "S..t in : S.t out.". .......Sometimes, when, "The world"s smartest woman." (Marilyn Savant), with a reported IQ of 217 (really more like 170 to 180 or so), makes a statement, which is prooff of logic answering, instead of brilliancy or genius : which causes some to pause and consider yhat she only has memory (eidetic, or thereabouts), as her guide. Clinton had/has such a memory. Consumate liars, always do.

That is why IQ tests are geared for when a Person is adolescent, in teens and older (when memory fails). A person's apparent IQ is most usually appreciably lessened with the ravages of age (memory-loss), which is the "coining" of the term "Second childhood.", as the person forgets, education, interaction skills with people, and memorized solution strategies, and all that is left is the "Real" IQ, that which existed prior to professionally structured education, and even pre structured education. This is also what was meant by (possibly) entering into heaven / a person would have to be as a little child (no memory "baggage"). Also, there was a warning about "Evil in high ("elevation", not earthly) places." This is also why some have said that "Heroes go to hell." (They don't forget the maltreatment done unto them and theirs.).

It is interesting to note the "Think tanks", of the fed.

To Admin: sorry about all the off topic posts on HDTiVO's thread in the General Area. If you want to take a hundred or two off my post count I won't complain.

ormonde...have you found your way here? Just experimenting to see if a TXT file will attach. It'll be easier to read if you print it out.

Here's the rest of that war story I promised you.

To rsquirell:

I got those attachments. I read the first one (quite an interesting story). I have not gotten to the second one yet.

Things are a little different than Hollywood presents. The movie "The Green Berets" came out when I was in Nam...and we were rolling on the floor laughing our tails off. The very idea of a FullBull Colonel running off to North Viet Nam with an asspack, steel canteen, M-16 with one mag of ammo and wearing his Green Beret was priceless. The military is run by the enlisted men. My dad went thru the same "Cadet program" as George Bush Sr...the shortage for pilots was such that they were taking non-degreed people and running them thru flight training. If you passed you were awarded your Ensign Bars along with your wings. He used to preach to me about not looking down on enlisted men... they hold your life in their hands. Make friends on a personal level with your crew chief...buy him a bottle of the good stuff when he does something special to get your bird up to peak performance. He'll save your butt.

On the Western Front in 1918 the average age of the average fighter pilot was 18...and his average lifespan was 2 weeks. Most of the American fighter pilots were sergeants...

"Most of the American fighter pilots were sergeants..."

Did you ever consider being a pilot for a commercial airline?

[rsquirell]

After Viet Nam (as after WW-II) there were scads of pilots with millions of dollars of training...some with thousands of hours of 8 engine jet time. My dad tried to get into the airlines after WW-II...and then again after Korea....they wouldn't touch him because he only had single engine fighter experience. I was brought up to be a warrior...and my whole life came to an end when I was twelve years old...and tested 20-25 vision. I was handicapped. During highschool my dad tossed a brouchur on my bed for Special Forces...I knew then what I was going to do. If it weren't for my eyeballs, I would have tried to be a fighter pilot, like my old man (which is what GW did.) But during Viet Nam EVERYBODY wanted to be fighter pilots...and the slots were taken up by people with inside political pull. I was told at the time that about the only way you could become one was to join an Air National Guard unit...like GW did.

One thing that has really bugged me about 9/11 was that fact that the terrorist pilots were able to basically either plot a flight plan, or navigate directly from Boston to New York and hit their targets with such "Dead Pan" accuracy. Do you really think that they could have done that with the "Supposed" training that the media (and the government) tells us they received? I mean learning to fly Cessnas and practicing on a flight simulator without ever having a trial run in the air (with jets) would be a pretty remarkable feat. I read an article (wish I had a link to it) that said a closed-door inquiry by top airline pilots and military personnel stated that the there were either "Crackerjack fighter pilots aboard" or those planes were controlled remotely.

I'm a commercial pilot with an instrument rating...and was a certified flight instructor for a a couple of years (CFI's don't make squat for money...as a free-lance charter pilot I was making as much take home (under the table cash) flying rich guys out to their polo games and tryst's with their mistress' on weekends while I was going to school as I made working 100hrs/week for that CPA firm after I graduated. There are a lot of misconceptions about the skill level of general aviation pilots. I've rubbed elbows with many, many military and airline pilots...and they tell me that flying turbines is a lot easier than piston aircraft...plus...most of the newer airliners are computer controlled...and a lot of the airline jocks feel they're just along for the ride. As an instrument general aviation pilot, I operate in the same airspace, under the same rules the airlines do, once they decend below 18,000 feet. We're talking to the same air traffic controllers...and everyone is fully aware of the anti-hijack transponder codes and procedures. Those Al Qaida pilots had simulator time in the type airliners they intended to hijack...and since they weren't planning to takeoff or land all they needed to know was where the buttons on this particular model were...they had already used them on the small planes they had trained on.
