The below average intelligence crowd, flunk out and end up as security guards.
I think someone was denied the opportunity based on that.
This is well outside the scope of recruitment if that's the case; I believe that is how the lawsuit started.
For some reason the number 70 stuck in my head; that might have been the average IQ for the profession.
An IQ of 70 fits well into the below-average range and I believe it is just above "borderline retarded."
Lol, it was a joke anyway but just sayin'

Misunderstanding maybe. There was an article that got brought up pretty recently that was some leaked proof/memo or something like that, stating police departments will not hire you if you have a higher than average IQ. I assumed this is what you were talking about. If it was just a joke on how cops all seem stupid, I'm with you.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Yeah, in this same forum.
Though, I was wrong about 70 being the average >.<

The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average
Oh well, I edited my post to make it more accurate :V

micro said: around 170... but i have a theory about learning
people learn stuff that is in subjects they enjoy and go out of their way to do so
i think that is why people who like reading weird shit are generally seen as smarter in many areas
your average redneck that doesn't know high school algebra can tell you about every make and model car and replacing parts
i generally read scientific journals and textbooks, and sometimes other nonfiction
Do you really think your iq is 170? Just curious

Adult iq tests at least ones recognized as legitimate do not measure above 160. Child iq tests can

I have tested myself without many online tests in order to find a more acccurate average because some are straight down to easy or too hard and surprisingly enough I average around 135 everytime, which puts me in the 1%... So I call bullshit, but when I compare myself to others, the score just might not be as farfetch'ed as I think...
So my answer based on what is most likely complete bullshit tests: 135 IQ

Still there's no HARD science that says that IQ tests currently used by psychologists and schools are any more valid than any random test that I could design. I could use my subjective model of what intelligence is create a test of spatial reasoning brain teasers and math word problems that didn'trequire advanced knowledge of math, some paragraph completion problems etc I'm sure that test could predict future success however you define that, academic performance etc (or whatever iq tests are supposed to actually be useful for and predict) etc just as accurately as the tests made up by psychologists who don't even understand neuroscience let alone have a valid quantitative test for anything regarding cognition psychology etc
Overall point? Iq isn't nearly a rigorously enough defined term to even have any place in the realm of science as opposed to subjective philosophy.

I believe they are accurate. People today are practically meat that hasn't been sent to slaughter.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Street interviews are edited to just show the worst of the worst. Granted most people on the street are morons, but there are a lot of really intelligent people out there that would destroy mark dice in seconds.

If anyone wants to take a non-cultural/non-language based IQ test then take a Raven's Matrix IQ test. It's the IQ test equivalent of computer benchmarking a processors speed and efficiency in terms of raw computing power.
And there are plenty of people who have IQ's that are high that are fucking stupid because they don't have common sense. Bill Clinton comes to mind. He has a high IQ yet has such poor judgment that he gets a blow-job from a fat girl in his office. 
As far as myself, well I solved all 800 problems in Shaum's Outline of Laplace Transforms in 2 days because I had nothing better to do. 
One other thing. This thread is proof that drugs make you smart because everyone here is a genius.

Those tests don't mean much that's just two dimensional spatial processing like Tetris. Not comprehensive as a measurement of a test of overall higher informational processing. That's a vague and useless definition of "intelligence" but this topic isn't a real science anyways

According to an online test mine was 127. I'd say that's about right.
