    • Can't disagree with Loinburger.

      He should be number 1.

          He might be. I thought about it for a bit.

                Ditto, mine was just a lipoma. I've got another four or five of the things scattered around, but the one on my left arm was hardening to the point that it hurt to apply pressure so I had it cut out (I considered doing it myself but wimped out in the end).

                  Such students? What such students? Students at Oxbridge aren't all academics, by any means. Indeed are mostly not. It's why they tend to *be* the people who shape the world, a lot more than those from anywhere else (bar perhaps a few Ivy League institutions). Loving the generalisations despite the fact I've already mentioned that's the university, not the students. Also, I was refering to when they get there - Oxbridge has higher entrance requirements than anywhere I'm aware of.

                  But good try.
                  No, but I know people here with much higher IQs than 155 I do accept the ceiling, and tests above 175-180 or so are always dubious, as to test accurately there there becomes a certain amount of subjectivity.

                  I do know people who are actually smarter than me, so I wouldn't be surprised if you did too.
                  I was refering to people on Poly. I'd also bet on natural ability, even in sciences, Kuci, Jag and IW could come close (obviously all three a little younger).

                    Don't know if you ever said (wrote) that you are a marxist, but it kind of shows
                    Busted! Marxism is an influence. A Libertarian Marxist, perhaps, but not a communist.

                      Yes, and I'm one of them

                      At a guess I'm somewhere in the 160-170 range.

                      Again, I don't believe that it's a meaningful number.

                      And as for "much" that depends what you mean. 175 on a test with SD=15 is one in a million.

                                Wait, those weren't measures of measuring intelligence *at all*. They were responding to arguments from Asher that people at Oxbridge are purely academic and don't impact the world.

                                Intelligence would have to be a combination of some form of inate test (IQ/SAT/GRE), academic ability (level/university/grades) what you've done in the world, etc. Please don't misread my arguments, as I remember you did in the housing/debt thread. I'm not suggesting any of those things are ways of measuring intelligence or quality at all.
