Considering a fish can't climb a tree and humans can do the tasks in the test, no it's not.

Yeah pattern recognition is a huge factor in determining intelligence. I think he got the "asking a fish to climb a tree" from some einstein quote or something

Oh yeah, Alan Rockefeller is one I missed, but that dude has a fucking treasure trove of mycological knowledge and is easily one of our most intelligent.
Malcolm and PatrickKN always struck me as really smart dudes too

Think what you want. It wasn't the case. The OP only handed out a single link to a single test. People in the thread were linking other tests, but those had nothing to do with the OP.

I believe it. Never made much sense as to why someone would do that, besides linking disliked users to harder tests.

Ped and Asante are very intelligent in different ways redgreenvines is clearly intelligent but it's hard to place how. Many of the philosophy subforum regulars are quite bright, and certainly most of them blow the quoted users out of the water. I have nothing against those people, but I don't see it  Akira in particular appears to be emotionally retarded, and no that's not a flame that's an assessment on his capacity of thought.
No other posters have stood out to me as shockingly bright.

There were also those people who couldn't figure out why they got less questions than other people. And also that one dude who swore he had more questions than the max.

How could I forget Moonshoe. While not perfect (no one is), I do think he's more intelligent than the average Shroomerite.
I also think Pirate Blues, HPI, DustBunny, Darkstar, Micro (no comment on his sexual exploits), and Crystal G are quite intelligent.

I'm a little surprised Akira has been mentioned multiple times. His vocabulary can be kind of impressive sometimes but I sometimes got the impression he was the kind of person to do something like google "smart people words" and then pretend to know more than whoever he's arguing with. A lot of his debates end up bein big cluster fucks, from what I've seen at least.

I'd still like to take it. I'm told I think pretty weird but pattern recognition is very understandable to me. I know I'm not the smartest but I'm curious about this test.
Intelligence is very subjective and in many ways I think other people are smarter than ones who have a higher IQ based solely on their reactions for certain situations.

He argues semantics. It's not intelligent it's tiring.
Most users have him on mute for this reason alone. I don't find it entertaining whatsoever but if you do more power to you, he certainly puts out lots of "content".

Most of the arguments on here are tiring. Rarely is anyone going into it trying to get to the truth of the argument - though I find that's true of a lot of people who like to argue(it's important to note the difference between intelligent discussion and debate and argument in this particular context), they're usually just going into it trying to validate their own opinion and have too big of an ego to admit they're wrong even when faced with objective facts and evidence.
I think the most intelligent users are able discuss emotional issues in an unemotional manner and if/when it comes to it, admit they're wrong or at least look at differing opinions or facts that dispute their own opinion and see those things as something to learn from, even if they don't necessarily change their opinion on whatever is being argued. It's something that I don't see enough of, and I know that I'm not perfect in this regard either.
Also I think there are some shitposters that are much more intelligent than they come across as and generally just post on shroomery when they're high as balls, or don't see the point in taking things too seriously on here.
