I know I need to make a post here,
but lately I've been having trouble with material at 1 a.m.

Well, it's 12:21 really, but my posts made from Midnight-2 a.m. seem to be lacking lately.

I took an online IQ Test today -- well, 2 actually, a short one (the "Classic IQ Test")
and a long one ("The Super IQ Test"). And although they were real SAT type questions there was a difference of 14 points in my results, so I'm not sure how accurate they are.

As you can see, 14 points can make a big difference in an IQ test.

< 20 - Profound mental retardation
20 - 34 - Severe mental retardation
35 - 49 - Moderate mental retardation
50 - 69 - Mild mental retardation
70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
80 - 89 - Dullness
90 - 114 - Normal or average intelligence
115-124 - Above average (e.g., university students)
125-134 - Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)
135-144 - Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)
145-154 - Genius (e.g., professors)
155-164 - Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)
165-179 - High genius
180-200 - Highest genius
>200 -"Unmeasurable genius"

They say Albert Einstein was about 160.

I wonder what Leonardo Di Vinci, Thomas Edison and Werner Von Braun would have scored.

How about Stephen Hawking?
