Wouldn't piss me off, I'd just get everybody to kill you for not participating:]

If you do that pls invite me to your game.
I will make sure you respond with what I will tell you...
LOL

Why don't you just use your current account and stop talking?

My brother thinks I will do horribly but he doesn't realize I am a genuis.

There are two reasons.

One- I would have to subtract my current stats out of it.

Two- I want the account name to be something that tells people I will not talk so they don't waste time.

But then they'd intentionally try to get you to talk or use their talking to influence you. Remember, it isn't just what you say, but how you react to others that make diplomacy happen.

Oh, and there a re a number of certified (and certifiable) geniuses on this site. I know my IQ is over 157, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who aces the typical IQ test and is or could be a member of any of the high IQ societies (a list of which can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_IQ_society )

Draugnar, my IQ is 120 and I strongly doubt you are more clever than me.

Well, hellalt. I hate to disappoint you in the IQ arena...

Oh, and this game isn't about pure intelligence. It's about social intelligence, which is my own weakness, I'll admit.

Tell you what, hellalt. You pick an online IQ test out. I will take it and have the results sent to your email in some way. Find one that is free and that emails the end result or that I can get a screenshot of so you'll believe me.

No, that's ok. online Iq tests suck. Even I score 135-140 at them.
I also lack at social or emotional intelligence.

"But then they'd intentionally try to get you to talk or use their talking to influence you. Remember, it isn't just what you say, but how you react to others that make diplomacy happen."

True, so I will not look at their comments. There could be a slight problem with the global chat. People could post things that may affect me however I doubt it will make a difference.

why not just play gunboats?

I was just about to suggest only playing gunboats for the test. And you could use the same account. Finish up your press games, record your present stats, points, and GR, and then start playing just gunboats.

@hellalt - the next time the Mensa tests come around, spend the 70 euros and take one. I'll do the same. Then we can compare. Mensa is actually a pretty easy organization to get into as it is only the top 2%, not the top fraction of a percent of some of the others.

I wish you were in the US. Then we could compare adjusted ACTs and SATs from highschool, where my logic and math skills topped into the 99th percentile.

Could you send me some ACT & SAT tests at [email protected]?

You mean blanks to take? They can't be gotten. They are strictly controlled by the respective testing agencies. I could send you my results, but you'd have nothing to compare them against.

I've got a better idea, I'll post a maths question, and whoever out of you 2 posts the correct answer first wins, ok?

The first question will be posted at 22 past

What is the cube root of 8 squared, divided by itself?

1

And as long as the answer of the cube root of 8 squared isn't zero, it would have to be 1. any number divided bby itself is the unary.

Unlucky hellalt, Draugnar *is* cleverer... better luck next year :)

30 people in a room. What is the probability at least two of them share a birthday?

Not much:]

1+2+3+4...+30
all over 365

130 percent chance?
