A test but not the normal kind

Everyone in the office at the moment is carrying out the test the nation IQ test, how about a Barbelith IQ test.

You can find the test here -

I'll be sure to post mine up once I get it working, maybe this is part of the test

Nope. Not only do I disagree on principle, it brings a horrible Anne Robinson taste to my mouth. And believe me, that's a horrible taste. You really don't want to know about that woman's personal hygiene.

IQ tests mean nothing, as I maintain to anyone with a higher IQ score than mine.

If they were really more intelligent than you, they'd know that already.

Ah, but knowing it is one thing. KNowing it and waving it in your face written down on a piece of paper... now that's the bunny.
Knowing it and being able to keep it to themselves... impossible, say I.

That's it then?

I'm a bit disappointed. Where are all the probes and stuff?

Geez, its only a bit of fun like what smurf are you, scared people will laugh and chuck you off the board,

come on McFly, are ya ch-ch-chicken?

Oh by the way I got 573 is that good?

Trijhaos

15:04 / 23.05.02

I got 12. That's good, right?...right?

I got "Thursday, after 6, round the back of the canteen and ask for Fred." Is that good?

I got the clap. Is that good?

Not Here Still

18:59 / 23.05.02

I couldn't work out what to do. Is that good?

Trijhaos

19:02 / 23.05.02

Yes, yes it is.

You passed the test with flying colors. You were smart enough not to waste your time on something that really can't measure your intelligence.

It says I have a Penius-level IQ. Sounds about right.

We had to sit IQ tests at the age of 11 and the course of some of my schoolfriends' lives was irrevocably altered on account of it. Beware people with clipboards who think they can measure complex human faculties with mutliple choice questionnaires.

bear, surely a Barbelith IQ test would consist of questions such as:

Section 1: Conversation

1. What is the proper response to a 'huggle'?
a) huggle back
b) run and hide
c) flame on!
d) run and hide
e) put that person on your ignore list

Section 4: Switchboard

1. Briefly outline, giving references, Noam Chomsky's position on the Israel/Palestine situation. Do you find this position convincing?

Section 9: Comic Books

1. Who would win out of a fight between the Hulk and Midnighter? Explain your reasons clearly.

mate

20:43 / 23.05.02

Hulk, obviously - his cock would split the Midnighter in half!

Oh, you said fight...

Oh, Officer Starling. Do you think you can dissect me with this blunt little tool?

Quid pro quo, Mordant, quid pro quo...

btw, wouldn't mention of my blunt little tool be more appropriate in Ganesh's Penis thread?
