    Interesting show on Fox tonight...

    On Fox tonight, there is going to be a show airing from 8-10 called "Test The Nation". It is "supposedly" a nation-wide testing of Americans. I'll be watching, because im interested into what the results are.

    Anybody else gonna watch?

    D'oh! I feel stupid. It is supposedly a test of your IQ.

    Don't know how accurate it will be.

    It's on! See you in 2 hours!

    Recap: The test given was supposedly designed by a MENSA professor. It consisted of 60 questions. They were timed. I took the test online, and scored 129. Apparently, 130+ is MENSA eligible. The highest score was achieved by the scientists, of 138.

    the fact that you actually pay for your Mensa membership is not exactly the smartest thing to me.

    I mean... you're paying to belong to a group of people that are smart? Not exactly too smart to me.

    i'm impressed the fox marketers figured people would be *ahem* smart enough to sit through this crap to pay attention to their ads.

    i think i'll go time myself in the forty yard dash. that sounds like fun right now.

    congrats on the 129. i got the first one right and changed the channel. therefore i was on pace to score 1,203. all you suka heds betta watch out.

    sharon stone aint got nothin on me.

    do you pay to join, or do you just pay to take the test to see if you are eligible... I always thought you had to pay for the test and if you passed you are a member, if you fail your are out X number of $$$

    I scored 124 by the way. I got 4 wrong out of 7 on perception (7 wrong out of 60 total), I guess found my weak spot.

    Maybe I should have read a book beforehand cause Paradoxz tells me this will raise your IQ sorry personal joke from nerd thread .. he called me an imbecile
