Virginity and IQ in Adolescence

[Flannel Boy]

Teens are more likely to be virgins if they're significantly dumber or smarter than average.

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Yeah, average people get all the pussy.

[CajoleJuice]

 

[BlueTsunami]

So PD is the Rain Man I would assume?

[Flannel Boy]

Yeah, average people get all the pussy.

If only you were smarter.

 

[Vizzys]

How unfortunate.

[Mupepe]

I say it's because extremely intelligent and extremely dumb people both have a tendency to be extremely fucking weird.

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

I'm with Mupepe.

 

[Vizzys]

I'm with Mupepe.

 

Fucking wierdo.

[Flannel Boy]

I say it's because extremely intelligent and extremely dumb people both have a tendency to be extremely fucking weird.

The site where I stole the graph from speculates that it is because of assortative mating. About 66% of the population are within 15 points of a person with an IQ of 100, while only 12% are within 15 points of a person with an IQ of 130.

Hey! It's a description of the normal curve distribution! I think this is the first time on EB where something actually relevant to my profession has been mentioned.

PD has had a date more recently than I have.  :'(

I'm a school psychologist at an elementary school and a middle school. One of my duties is administering IQ tests to students as part of special education evaluations.

[Boogie]

Well, at least I know which end of the spectrum I fall under

[G The Resurrected]

Interesting maybe I should take a IQ test. See where I lay on that chart. Something tells me it wont be very high.

[ToxicAdam]

I think it has more to do with your parents. Most of the kids I knew that lost it early (pre-16) had extremely permissive parents or came from one parent households.

IQ tests are meaningless. How could psychometricians create a valid measurement of intelligence after only one century worth of studies? Why, they would need 5000 years at least. Plus how do you measure such important indicators of intelligence like... um bodily-kinesthetics?

Thanks for attempting to trivialize my job. 

Oh well, administering IQ tests is but a tiny portion of what I do.

I think that measures of cognitive ability are pretty worthless on their own, but when it's one part of a large collection of information collected on a student (developmental history, academic skills, social emotional skills, adaptive skills, etc.), they're awfully inciteful and can be helpful in designing specialized instruction programs.

I was being sarcastic... did you miss bodily-kinesthetics?

[Mr. Gundam]

Yeah, I did. I guess I was being defensive. 

[The Fake Shemp]

I know this sounds pretty shallow and bad, but I definitely have a high IQ and when I realized at the tail end of high school to play down to whomever I was interested in or make up for their inadequacies, that's when I got laid.  And really confident around the opposite sex.

Although, it goes to show you that I was trying to date down, going after the wrong women and I never had a truly long-lasting, fulfilling relationship.

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Who cares, all you need in life is PUSSY!!!

Don't give yourself an IQ test.

What is the threshold for mental distinguished mentally-challenged by the way? I'm just asking because I think Shake's school board missed something.

I think it's 75, maybe 70. Actually, distant should know, I don't know why I'm replying. 

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

All these mental distinguished mentally-challenged jabs are getting me all wet.

[Human Snorenado]

My IQ is 132.  It's a shame I'm insane.

[FlameOfCallandor]

That explains alot. You see im a fucking genius.

[Human Snorenado]

Son, I'm a genius.  Lazy, but a genius.  You're just creepy.

Wouldnt a genius be smart enough not to be lazy?

You'd think so.  But no, I'm smart enough to do the BARE MINIMUM to coast by.

A full scale standard score of 69 on a measure of cognitive ability places an individual in the extremely low range. However, mental distinguished mentally-challenged is not determined by a mere IQ score, at least, not in Washington state.

For someone to receive services as an individual with mental distinguished mentally-challenged, they need to:

1. Display such a deficit in cognitive ability that their full scale standard score on a standardized measure such as the WJ-II Cog, WISC-IV, WAIS, SB-V is at or below 69.
2. AND demonstrate adaptive, social, and/or academic skill deficits.

So legally, if one were to have an IQ at 68 or below, BUT did not demonstrate skill deficits in their social, adaptive and/or academics, they would not be considered mentally distinguished mentally-challenged.

It's in the top 2% of the general population and enough to get you into Mensa. It is odd that Mensa accepts people who scored over 170 on the LSAT. A score of 170 is in the top 1% of all test takers and only college graduates, generally with high GPA's, take the LSAT.

So..

top 2% of the general population > top 1% of college graduates trying to get into Law School.

Mensa needs to give itself an IQ test.

[Vizzys]

I R SMART.

You = owned.

And I should get in that thing. What the hell is it anyway?

[Flannel Boy]

Have you seen a child with an IQ of 68 or below who actually didn't have "skill deficits"?

[Human Snorenado]

Whoa, I can get into fucking mensa?  Hell yeah, surely I can then get some job if I just drop into the interview like a little tidbit, "oh and I got into mensa the other day".

That's the tits.

I think an employer would roll his eyes. But you can save money on your auto insurance if you're a member of Mensa.

What about pussy or cheap beer?  Told you I was insane, by the way.

I took the MENSA test and passed with flying colors, but who the hell wants to join a club that's all about being smart?

[CajoleJuice]

How the hell is everyone here so smart?

We're all insecure liars.

INTERNETS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS

cuz were pretty awesome lol

I was actually in the Eastern magnet program, and Mandark was a year or two ahead of me.  I think what that experience showed me, besides how to get the Montgomery County public school system to almost expel me, was that parents' income is directly tied to their children's intelligence the vast majority of the time.

[Flannel Boy]

How the hell is everyone here so smart?

I have an IQ 500, but in my Galaxy that's borderline distinguished mentally-challenged. I fled to Earth to feel better about myself. Think of Tom Cruise visiting pygmies.

It is not a pass/fail test. I canceled the score results, ignorant to the actual results.

IQ and income moderately correlate, but which is the cause and which is the effect? A study of siblings raised in the same households showed that siblings with higher IQs had substantially higher incomes in adulthood than their duller siblings. Since they both shared the same SES and family background the income difference was a result of intellectual difference between the siblings. Mind you a recent study out of France showed that parental income of adopted children effected the children's IQ. The researcher's of this study also has access to the IQ's of the biological parents and found that heredity was nonetheless more decisive in determing the childrens IQ.

Freudian slip or just an IQ point short?  YOU decide, Evilbore!

[etiolate]

Hey baby, I'm just smart enough to get in your pants!

[BlackMage]

I refuse to take an IQ test. Too much pressure.
