How to increase your IQ level ?

[JayUtah]

I assume there were a few givens...

Quite a few. Identifying, quantifying, and integrating them into a solution was the exercise. For the values we settled on, peeing yourself off the asteroid was possible.

Use the crevice tool attachment...

 

[P.J. Denyer]

Use the crevice tool attachment, not the upholstery brush.

We did an exercise once for our high school interns, years ago. The educational goal was requirements gathering and analysis. But the question to be solved was whether you could pee hard enough to propel yourself to escape velocity from an asteroid (assuming you could magically survive the vacuum). After the inevitable sniggering I was surprised at how passionately they attacked the problem. Nerds are gonna nerd. Nowadays, of course, you can't teach that way.

Well come on... Can you?

I'm assuming it would be really hard to not fart in a vacuum.

The nozzle sometimes gets stuck.

Oh, sorry, I thought you said into.

You can also try to raise your level to 180 points.

You can also try to flap your arms and fly to the Moon. 180 is still outside the statistical model. I.Q. can be increased by education, but not by that much.

Einstein could even score above 300 points even though his base IQ was 160 points.

Do you have any IQ test results for him?

 

[Puppycow]

My IQ is already at 7000.

 

[JayUtah]

Einstein could even score above 300 points even though his base IQ was 160 points.

So if there's a "base I.Q.," you're saying there's some other kind of I.Q. that lets you score 300 or higher?

His high IQ, over 300, is related to changes in the structure of the braincase.

How did he change the structure of his braincase?

 

[wise47]

How did he change the structure of his braincase?

It was an innate trait.

 

[Mojo]

It was an innate trait.

You claim that his innate IQ was 160. How did he change the structure of his braincase to elevate it to 300?

 

[JayUtah]

No, his "base I.Q." (your words) was estimated to be around 160. This was never measured, but it was estimated so as to be on the same scale as the N(100,15) scale. If "base I.Q." is the one based on the normed scale, then what is the statistical or mathematical basis for the I.Q. score that according to you gives him a score of 300?

It was an innate trait.

Then I have to join my colleagues to ask how it can be changed then? Your premise is that we can change our I.Q. dramatically by hundreds of points. You refuse to tell us how to do that. Do you achieve your claimed 1600 I.Q. by altering your brain case? Is your 1600 score innate or is it mutable?

Do you really doubt whether altering @wise47's brain case would change his IQ?

He might have used a hammer.

I think lowering his head and running at a wall would suffice.

All right now, you begrudgers and nay sawyers. How many of you have been pounding
your heads on your keyboards in this thread? Nobody? Well get started! You can't alter
your braincases just sitting there!

Thank you for your patience, Wise47. It must get trying sometimes, being the
smartest guy in the room -- second smartest, I mean.
