in stupid IQ tests...

I always figured the 141 and 161 I got on the online tests were pumped
up, but now I've taken a pen-and-paper test and just scored a 147...

ain't no way...

Sure there is. I'd suspect that most real "hackers" would score
relatively high on standardized IQ tests. It's a special breed which
requires certain intellectual aptitudes.


I suspect that most of the regs here would easily score 120 or above..


Wow, 120! That would be way too cool.

I think what helped my score was I was given 90 minutes to complete the
test and it only took me 50

I think that's what I got. Either a 50 or an 90 - I just can't remember. I
think I last took an IQ test in fourth grade when they signed me up for the
MGM program.

The upshot of being in MGM was that - in fifth and sixth grades - I got to
play with this new thing called a computer. Three days a week after
school we started learning BASIC on these new TRS-80 systems the school had
bought. :)
