Isn't it at about 60 that one's IQ becomes disabling? I mean that's when you are officially a 'simpleton', or was it an 'idiot'? I forget.

Retard, as in retardation.

Idiocy is another thing altogether.

[STM]

Wow, I just read it only takes an IQ of 40 to mow a lawn and do simple laundry, and at 60, the ability to harvest vegetables and repair furniture, what is the IQ of a monkey I wonder?

Also in response to my earlier post this is what I meant:

Wikipedia: Moron is a term once used in psychology to denote mild mental retardation.[1] The term was closely tied with the American eugenics movement.[2] Once the term became popularized, it fell out of use by the psychological community, as it was used more commonly as an insult than as a psychological term.

^moron @ IQ 50 - 71

And idiot has an IQ of 0 - 25.

[Wings of Fire]

The less said about the more unfortunate aspects of the history of psychology the better.

I refuse to accept those terms as scientific.

[STM]

Well most psychologists no longer use those terms. Funny that it's most and not all though.

[Nate]

Well, most psychologists are competent. Sad that it's most and not all though.



Though that could be said of most professions. The exceptions being the ones where no-one is competent. Say, naturopaths, for instance.

[STM]

Don't forget scaffolders.

[Bullet Magnet]

You can have very competent naturopaths. It simply doesn't correspond to any real accomplishment.

[STM]

depends on the naturopaths field, hell they must all be pretty competent to talk people into their bull shit!

[Bullet Magnet]

In all honesty, you don't have to be very skilled to pull that off.

[STM]

It depends again, on their market I expect, lulling someone such as yourself into tiger blood cures for cancer I expect can't be that easy? I hope I'm right. =P

[Bullet Magnet]

I've turned down more than one brand of snake oil in my time.

[STM]

Good good.

Are you officially a simpleton? The IQ is calculated using standard deviation, so a certain portion of the population will always have an IQ of less than 60.

That said, I still retain what I said before. You can't really group people into being mentally disabled or not based off their IQ. Do you really think someone with an IQ of 60 is at all noticeably different to someone with an IQ of 61?

[Bullet Magnet]

Dude, the silly intricacies of IQ calculation are not common knowledge.

Differences of one or two points fall within the range you get from different tests, or fatigue etc.

[STM]

There are better tests now than IQ any how, I just forget the name.

[Nate]

There are better tests now than IQ any how, I just forget the name.

Do you even bother reading threads any more?

give it a few minutes.

I said my brain was slow, not glacial. Also, please don't post hidden autoplaying videos any more. This is your first (I think) and final (I know) warning.

[STM]

No, I don't abysmally crawl through them like you might do, in reality I could have googled that but I wasn't interested in finding the name because I'll forget it again it 10 seconds. Thanks anyway though. =)

[Phylum]

Considering you were in a discussion at that point, I'd assume you would read posts in the thread.

[STM]

Reading them is one thing remembering them is another entirely.

so, what, we're like a library or something now? have you always been this uptight or is it just the fucking menopause?

it was a shit joke in relation to your post. if i wanted to be a cunt i would have autoplayed some unrelated noise terrorism.

[Nate]

I never accused you of being a cunt.

However, every single time that anyone posts hidden autoplaying videos, we get complaints. It's frigging annoying, not to mention inconvenient to people with slower computers or internet connections that want to be able to control what they access.
