So, Tom, do you KNOW you would beat me, or do you humbly think there's a chance that you might not score as high?
Hint: humility is sexy.

1. I don't acknowledge the validity of IQ tests. I just don't think they're a valid measure of intelligence.2. I don't discuss my scores on tests like this ever since my high school guidance counselor made my SAT score public and half my graduating class refused to tell me what they scored on it for fear i'd laugh at them.
3. I don't do facebook, as previously mentioned.
4. I'd totally kick your ass.
For the record, i wouldn't have laughed. Even in high school i didn't think these kinds of tests were good for much.
Wouldn't have laughed? When you beat me? Grr.
And also, you don't think the test is valid, but you're SURE you would kick my ass! This is why I made Steve and Alfonso take it!! And then Alfonso said that I must've cheated, which is a very poor showing of sportsmanship!
Context, Tambo, context. First, ...half my graduating class refused to tell me what they scored on it for fear i'd laugh at them, followed by For the record, i wouldn't have laughed... I'll bet Steve or Fonse would have figured that out, which would reinforce my point about the validity of these tests. It seems to me that they are a good measure of your ability to do well on tests, but not a good measure of intelligence. Of course, the issue is somewhat confused by people like myself who are both highly intelligent and good at taking tests. In other words, yes, i'd kick your ass at this test. But no, i wouldn't laugh at you while i did it. Subtle mockery is more my style.
I am also highly intelligent and good at taking tests. I will subtly mock your face!!!
I am willing to accept that you might score higher than me, though, because I'm not an arrogant jerk. I am really competitive, but I just didn't like how Steve and Alfonso assumed they would beat me, and then, when they didn't, they made excuses and/or accused me of cheating.
That's all.
That's all.
I'm not an arrogant jerk, either. I'm actually quite the modest jerk. I just can't resist winding you up.
Uhmmm yeah Tambo seems quite competitive, not that it's a bad thing. Girl power and all... PS. The current avatar fits nicely with the theme.
Er.. Don't take the test on the web page I linked, I was just using their scale.But back to what you were saying, I too find it pretty absurd to judge someones intelligence based off of 40 questions. How can a mere 40 questions sufficiently encompass all subject matter necessary to determine ones intelligence. I don't think 40 questions can sufficiently define ones intelligence of a single subject.
Subject knowledge has nothing to do with IQ. But yes, I there are much more extensive tests out there.
And, yes, competitive. Rawrr!!!
And Tom, I believe you that you're actually a modest jerk and not the arrogant sort. :)

My favorite part about this whole thing is that Sarah took that test months ago and treated it the same as any other trivial facebook quiz (which is to say, she didn't give it any notice one way or another) but Steve and Alfonso are making such a big deal about it and drawing attention to:A). how intellectually inferior they are
B). what babies they are
suck it up boys, in addition to being hot, a great drinker, a fabulous story teller, funnier than all get out, SHE'S SMARTER THAN YOU!
Look tambo work for the educational system… so obviously she knows how to take this test… I’m pretty sure that she be smatter than steve… but than me?! HA! Hell no!!!! and don’t be telling me that she took it like everyone else on face book… she been talking about that quiz for months with me!!! It was a set up!! And besides I was sober when I took that test! Everyone knows I’m better at test when I’m drunk!!! After I finish cleaning and cooking dinner I’ma get drunk and take the stupid test again!
I’ma get drunk and take the stupid test...Let me get this straight, Alfonso... Montambo scored better than you did on the intelligence test, so now you're going to try to get a better score on the stupid test?
Have you taken the IQ test on facebook, Dave?
I guess we tied on that one, which is why I'm so surprised and disappointed with your performance on the citizenship test. You're not living up to your potential, young lady.
I was at the top for so long. Now we're tied up there. :1
