So I was discussing IQs with my grandma the other day and she said that when my dad was my age (around 15) he took an IQ test and scored in the 140's. Her other son, my uncle, scored in the high 130's. I saw a chart online of just how high that is and it's above superior.

My dad is very smart in all subjects, he is a web developer and can pick up a book on most any code, read it and know how to do it. Same with my uncle.

My grandma seems to think that I have the smarts like they do but I can't find a place to take an IQ test without paying for it or other dumb stuff.

When my dad was 15, he also took a test on "Discover What You're Good At" and it divided up your general knowledge into various categories, like Numerical, Clerical, Logic, Business and a few others. My dad scored superior in Clerical and Logic, and when I took it, I got a high superior in Logic. It would be a superior score for a high school Junior or Senior and I just finished my Freshman year.

I also had a very high score in the Clerical category, as did my dad.

I'm recently discovering the men in my family are very, very smart. :P

Discuss.

Most people I meet who claim to have a high IQ usualy are complete richards and know a thing of any subject.

I've lived with my dad for a while now. While he isn't the most social person, he is very intelligent.

Harm94 · July 13, 2010, 04:59:24 PM

Can he take apart a toaster and reassemble it in less that an hour?

Caution · July 13, 2010, 05:00:34 PM

He's not mechanically inclined, no.

my dad is smarter than your dad and he can beat your dad up

From what I hear IQ is a very faulty way to measure intelligence.

I can do that in 30 minutes.
But I can not guarantee you that it works.

If that is the case, I can do it in 5 minutes!

If you are good at maths, you will be good at IQ test. I'm not that good at maths. :I

Seriously, why the forget is the OP making a thread just to brag about his dad being smarter than ours? I consider that a sure sign of vanity and offensiveness and so i do not look kindly on the OP's actions.

This thread needs to be locked, i say, before Caution starts posting more stuff about how much better he thinks his family is than us.

Forgive me if i am taking this the wrong way, but you do not seem to understand that just because he is super smart in your book doesnt mean he is in ours. Give us proof.

Enough said, i am leaving this thread before people start to bash me for stating my opinion, so g'bye.
