Subject: RE: BS: Neuroscience-how your brain really works
Right. IQ. I was tested at primary school and I did another supervised test at the age of 20 (it cost me two quid to send it off and get it marked). I can't remember my scores but in both tests I was placed in the top two-percentile of the population (and was repeatedly invited to join Mensa).

None of it means a bloody thing. It is measuring how good you are at doing the tests and how much you've practised the tests. Nothing more. Whoever invented this stuff didn't have a clue what "intelligence" actually is, and we still don't know. It may not even be a "thing" at all. I can't say I'm surprised that you try to predicate your "wisdom" on the doings of these charlatans. Maybe your IQ isn't high enough.
