MORE NONSENSE from Mensa...

How the hell can you possibly test the "I.Q." of a two year old? Is is any wonder I have laughed at "Mensa" in the past?

A two-year-old girl from Hampshire has become the youngest ever female member of British Mensa.
Georgia Brown, from Aldershot, Hampshire, astounded experts by scoring 152 in an IQ test - putting her in the top 2% of the population for her age.

Sorry for pointing it out, but if she has 152 in IQ, shouldn't she be able to do a test then?

[General Septem]

She could draw a circle and they say that's an indicator of intelligence? I think that's more of a dexterity thing than anything else. Good going Mensa. :D

I seriously doubt that any "I.Q. test" you could (even if you could) give a two year old would have any validity at all. It's just plain stupid...as is "Mensa"...they are stupid morons at best.

Many IQ test questions relate to the position of geometrical figures in relation to other geometrical figures = three corners with a black square and one with a circle means the layout is illogical --- something ANYONE can figure out, so one who gets it right is NOT above average intelligence.

Ex. I design advertisements... this requires basic computer skills, basic psychology, and basic logic.

So I will build a quarter page newspaper ad with a '======' border, and black squares for corners. Well, gee, if one corner is a green square, I will say "duh..... that doesn't work...." WHOAAAA!!! I'm a GENIOUS!! So give me a promotion to VP of marketing because I figured out the most obvious of design skills..... gimmie a break!!!

Yeah, this is the opportunity for some to say "you're a dumbass because you aren't ejucated LOL", but I say, not I just proved mensa is stupid, LOL... EOS
