It is your prejucide rather than commonsense that made you act and think this way.

wtf is prejucide?  murder of prejus?  in which case, wtf is a preju?

It's a fancy way of saying "before ju".

ohhhhhhhh, i see.

so wtf's "ju"?

Don't know, really, but before ju should be it.

[renaeden]

He would have been better off writing "prejudicial". Against rights or interests? Not sure.

Anyway, my IQ is below average. Beat that.

Der... what's an IQ?

A test done in two steps when I was 21 said 155+ after the first, and 163 after the second. I think it was a WAIS test because it was somewhat similar to the one I took when dx'd, but this was before there was a WAIS-III, and the uni then employed several tests. This was the one that qualified me for Mensa, according to the uni people supervising the test.

Then how do you explain your prejudice and your childish behavior (replacing my avatar wiith some silly pic TWICE is quite childish)?

So you never make typos?

In Belgium, the criteria are different. You just need to pass (50% or 60%), but they change the difficulty of the tests depending on the number of people required. For example, some time ago they changed the requirements at the Civil Engineering entry exams from 5/5 exams passed to 4/5 entry exams passed because the number of people passing was too small. That should give an idea of the difficulty of those tests

You can also get onto a civil engineering course over here with similar percentages. However 80% is what you would need to get on a top course.

In Belgium, only three universities teach Civil Engineering. Their criteria for admission are equal and their level of education is more or less the same. Unless in Anglo-Saxon countries, all universities in Belgium have very high standards and the difference between the top universities and the poorest universities is quite small.

So why would you want to join Mensa then. Lets face it, its hardly an organisation known for diversity of membership.

I already gave my reasons in several previous posts.

* It can be useful to address others to know which books exactly to read, rather than just picking books at random
* It would be useful to learn about experiences from others face to face and actually have a conversation on such topics, what you cannot do by reading books.

Your assuming these people actually have in depth knowledge on all this. Like most researchers into autism however, I suspect there is much charlantanism to whatever "knowledge" they peddle about.

True. One needs to start somewhere, though.

I doubt IQ is accurate even for the areas it is designed to measure, myself.

What areas is it designed for?

Hardly good ones, imo.

You can go backwards rather than forwards however, by starting with these people. As an aspie, you are more likely to get somewhere with introspection as opposed anything else.

Academic intelligence.

You said yours was below average, I misered your trick with my comment. Therefore, I win.

oh but of course i do.  but never when my head is so far up my own arse that it's imperative i look as though i know what i'm talking about.

I presume the topic is now about IQ for some reason?

All I can say is that, it's what you do and say in life and how you express yourself that truly counts and proves your intelligence over time; not just a numbered result on some tests which insufficiently covers all types of potential intellectual behaviors with creativity, common sense and intuitive capacity also assessed. I mean an IQ test only proves certain aspects of a person's intellect in a specific setting, condition and environment required by the test parameters. Basically you're only seeing a general picture of your intellectual capacity on a specific scope with those tests anyway, not truly reliable.

Besides I believe that if you're truly a genius who is exceptional to the norm and is able to speak out, you name will exist in a academic history book someday that recognizes you for the intellectual achievements you made in life. You will be noted as a gifted contributing mind to the academic progress of humanity. You might even have a university named after you, or whatever you discovered, conceived or invented. Otherwise well, you may be intelligent still, but you fail to put that intellect to good use, but then what's it really worth in the ultimate end if you don't try?

By the way, my IQ is only 108, so I'm no genius according to the IQ tests, but eh, I know I'm fallible and have flaws, everyone has in their own ways. But I prefer prove myself over time on what my intellectual capacity is by what I do and say in front of others, and not just rely on a test result.
