    Apparently my seven-year-old is very intelligent (according to his teachers and IQ testing and stuff). Maybe I'll have him start posting for me.

      So, KH thinks that I'm dumb
      That means either that I post dumb stuff, or I actually am dumb, or KH is too dumb to understand my intelligence

      Since the latter is obviously impossible since KH is on the top of the list..............

        Ok, I'm in.
        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

          Well by the very fact that KH thinks I am dumb, he must be dumb, and therefore he is not at the top. Therefore the whole poll is null and void. So don't worry about it

            IQ tests, standardised tests (SAT, GRE, MCAT etc)

            I don't believe that there is necessarily a perfectly-definable quantity of "innate intelligence"; intelligence is a conflation of a number of different types of abilities. Nor do I believe that even if there were such an ideal quantity that psychiatrists would have discovered how to test for it perfectly. Nevertheless, I'm willing to accept that such tests reveal something about the subject's mental abilities.

              Hmm, I think I'll go for it. Rank me.

                Thanks for being the 10th person to point that out

                    Oh, what the heck. Where do I stand in the rankings, as judged by you, KH?

                      We could post our results and see how well they match up to your gut.

                            Yes. Don't underestimate people's ability to be petty.
