Captain??? Which branch of the service? Or is it some kind of honorific presented to yourself by yourself?

I'm talking about a copy of my ACTs or Nuke test, military test battery, or SATs. If it doesn't have my name on it then I will be accused of using someone elses. [sic] So you see the dilemna.

So Barleycorn earned the ridicule to which he is so often subjected. One time last year, he even responded by claiming that various tests had established that his IQ is in the top 0.2 percent of the distribution. (Yes, you read that right! The top one-fifth of one percent.) Originally Posted by CaptainMidnight

http://www.eccie.net/showpost.php?p=...6&postcount=39Yep, as I wrote, that is what the tests say. I don't necessarily believe them and I don't say it. So find out where I said that I believe it rather than say the test results indicate that.
wasn't hard to find with a quick search on Mensa. Originally Posted by JCM800

I answered 15 of 17 questions correctly, then quit the test......... I never said Mensa scored my grade an 88% !
Reading comprehension isn't your strong point is it?
Again, where is the "lie" in my post? Originally Posted by Whirlaway

So I looked it up.......... I guess you're trying to be insulting but I don't understand how being smart can be insulted. Of course idiots feel insecure and try. No, I am not a member of the 999 or Mensa though I qualify for the latter. My percentile would be more accurately described as 99.8%. My SATs, ASVABs, ACTs, and a number of IQ tests verify that. Originally Posted by JD BarleycornOops! Looks like you stated definitively that your test scores "verify" an IQ in the top 0.2% of the distribution. You can't put it much more clearly than that. And it had to be one of the most laughably ridiculous claims to have ever been made in this forum!
I didn't take the whole test; about 1/2 of the questions in a few minutes of time.....88%. Originally Posted by WhirlawayGot that?

More likely, he initially cherry-picked the ones he thought he could answer, so that he could fool himself and enjoy some momentary solace arising from his newly-found delusion that he isn't quite the dunce everyone else obviously knows him to be.
It will become vary [sic] obvious who the room temperature IQ squad is around here. Originally Posted by JD BarleycornOh, that's been obvious for quite some time, hasn't it, professor? You and Whirlaway are charter members!

Note that in Whirlaway's first post, he stated the following:
Got that? He simply said that he answered about one-half of the questions in the quiz.

You two stupid buffoons seem to have a veritably unlimited capacity for embarrassing yourselves. Originally Posted by CaptainMidnight
