[QUOTE="Mark_the_Lie"]

[QUOTE="T_P_O"] You worked for a political science journal? Then why the hell have you accused Gamespot of being "extreme left"? When evidently, that is far from the case?T_P_O

Gamespot is extremely far left, as is most of the political science literature out there. Most of what I wrote were moderate discussions on the politics of private property, or discussions about how the energy industry is being used as a political tool. I wrote about the constitution, its relationship to state laws, and how their interaction affects more micro-level political issues. It is possible to write moderate or neutral pieces for a poli-sci journal, but they definitely won't publish much conservative literature. Just because I'm conservative, however, doesn't mean I can't find common ground to write about.

I'd have to differ on the point of Gamespot being extremely far left, there's a number of conservatives, neo-conservatives, right wing libertarians, anarcho-capitalists and even one paleo-conservative that I can think of. Though mainly I don't tend to class American liberalism to be a far "left" political alignment, more so centre rather than shaving to the left. Extremely left personally tends to bring up thoughts about anarcho-syndicalism, libertarian socialism, socialism, Marxist-Leninist communism, Marxism and whatnot. I guess you'll find a few internet communists on Gamespot (or anywhere else on the internet for that matter) and I'm not going to deny there's no one who holds a radical left viewpoint on Gamespot, there's a communist union floating around, I think. I just think that to say that the majority of Gamespot's member base is extremely far left is a stretch. If anything like electorate in the US, there's probably more moderates (between this whole Liberal vs Conservative thing) than we give notice to at present. I apologise if I came off a little aggressive. Otherwise, your published worked sounds quite interesting, woulld you happen to have a link to any?

Sorry, I don't have links. I will not send you my originals, because I don't send my copyrighted work to anyone unless it's for academic or business purposes, and you won't be able to access anything of mine from APSA without a subscription. Also, I'm not inclined to let anybody here know my full name or location, which is on the front page of everything I've written.

I took four IQ tests when i was young,on two i scored in top 2% of population on one i scored on par with a chimp remaining one told me average .Tests are either crap or i am able to turn half of my brain off at will :shock:

Yes, that's normal.. Your mood can effect your scores on such tests....as well as the environment and the person administering the test. That's why they aren't really that conclusive.. also your cultural background plays a significant roll.

One of these times I want to take the Mensa test, and when they ask me to join Mensa I'll decline. Then if anyone ever brags to me about how they're a member of Mensa, I can say, "they wanted me to join too, but I was smart enough not to give them $400."

[QUOTE="BiancaDK"][QUOTE="Mark_the_Lie"]

I took a 2 day, nationally renowned IQ evaluation in Houston a few years ago. I ended up with a 143. I also scored a 172 out of 180 on the LSAT, which is more or less an intense IQ test, before I went to law school several years back. I'm pretty much a genius.

Traditionally, you need an IQ of circa 165+ in order to fall under the genius category. You also need two more points to be allowed into atleast the danish mensa chapter.

As I said previously, most legitimate IQ tests top out at 160 or 180. The one I took happened to be 160, and it was scaled by percentile. The 200 point scale is obsolete.

Many top out at 200 or higher Example: http://wilderdom.com/intelligence/IQWhatScoresMean.html

Oh gosh I honestly have no idea as it's been around the territory of 33 years or so since I last took one of those tests.

i know and have known quite a few people who are members of a mensa subdivision, and i have never heard anyone of them brag about it. On the contrary, most of them seem modest to the point of shy whenever the conversation falls on the topic of intelligence and IQ scores. But maybe it´s just different over here, i dunno´.

correction: internet IQ tests are somewhat fruitless in a psychometric sense. But they make up for it in theego-superiority department to many, so i guess the value of the tests breaks even in some obscure way. :3

This thread is older than Barbara Walters. Anyway, i've never taken a legit IQ test, and I doubt many people on here have, and I think you have to take internet tests with a grain of salt.

Lots of high IQs in here. Apparently having a high IQ isn't enough to see a thread that was bumped almost 250 days after it originally died :P
