There is not enough data here to determine WHICH, if any of them, keeps fish. I DOUBT that is the correct answer, and I didn't "look it up." But, nevertheless.... it is true. There is not enough data. THAT is one mistake Einstein would never make.

Why is it that everyone online has an IQ over 140, when scientific studies show that in reality only 1 in 1000 people have an IQ that high?
Here is the truth. Online IQ tests are just for fun, they arent accurate at all. There should be a disclaimer on online IQ tests that say, "If you believe this test is an accurate measure of your IQ, please subtract 40 points from your score to get a true measure". Also I wonder what the IQ is of someone who believes internet postings about Presidential IQs?

MANY of them are veterans, and have ALREADY been tested. But, again..... how much trouble or cost is involved in testing them when they come to a shelter for a bowl of soup? :roll: Spending government money to study the DNA of BEARS is obviously a waste..... but spending a buck or two per individual who make up TWO of the most costly and disturbing examples of American socio-economics and "class" SURELY can't be considered a waste of money! :lol: You can't FIX a problem that you don't UNDERSTAND. The only question is.... do you WANT to fix the problem?? :shock: Actually, Golf, An on-line IQ test is of rather limited value, especially where psychological endocrine disorders, and emotional disorders are involved. Where you find intelligent prisoners or intelligent homeless people, you'll usually find some combination of those disorders, Remember as well that accurate diagnosis is only part of the equation; other parameters such as substance addiction, histories of violent abuse, sexual abuse, and violent sexual abuse can not be calculated by an on-line test, but they also figure in to developing a workable rehab / therapy program. Yes, patient histories concerning ANY type of "abuse" are important factors in understanding the criminal mind..... but, THOSE figures can be held as "contributing" factors to an understanding of the criminal mind, and are separate from any revelation about their I.Q. YOU posted the percentages of inmates (and homeless) with high I.Q's.... and I agreed that this is an interesting correlation. NOT one that surprised ME in the least. We were not talking about effective rehab programs. We mentioned ONLY that a significant number of both "suffered" from a high I.Q. Obviously, the larger percentage of BOTH categories are way BELOW the "genius" level. But, the fact that 20% of them ARE categorized as geniuses, leads one to believe that there is, at least, no correlation between intelligence and NOT committing a crime. In fact, it is quite disturbing that such a large number of otherwise intelligent people, end up in prison or on the streets. I suffer emotional disorders. MOST of them are directly related to my I.Q. I am not homeless.... but have come close. I am not a criminal but can understand the motives of those who are. And ONE thing you failed to mention is.... the high percentage of SUICIDES that would fall into that high I.Q. category. And yes..... I have BEEN suicidal. ALL I said was..... it would not be a major waste of government funds to study the intelligence of the criminal / homeless mind. Perhaps, it would lead to better care for those who are "at risk." Any reduction of this populace (through suggested or mandated care or therapy) would be beneficial to society. Are we NOW in agreement? Or must I go "postal" on you and 16 other members of CAD, who are totally innocent, JUST to prove my point? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Being "Labeled" a genius, is just another label and can do as much harm as being labeled "stupid". There are just as many geniuses that are maladjusted as there are average or below average people. Just attend a Mensa meeting. There are a lot of members who hold jobs that allow them to avoid interracting with other people in order to hide their so called "gift". Driving a truck is one of those jobs.
