IQ tests vary quite a bit, some are more comprehensive than others and some are just bullshite. I hope you're basing your claims on one of the former and not the latter. At least you're not claiming a 188 IQ like otto did.
That's the 99.9999997770% of the test. I can safely conclude that no one who reads this site has that IQ.

Ah, Otto. His story of the epic battle vs racist Texans was awesome.

I typically use the Wechsler scales (WAIS-IV currently), as it has useful subtests for neuropsychology. I did help with standardization trials for the Stanford-Binet.

ottothewise was a special poster and is missed, sort of. The housemate controversy was very entertaining.

I also read that James Woods claims to have a similar IQ and no one has called him out on it. There are only a few hundred people in the world with that IQ, and I think I can safely say James Woods is not one of them. Sure, he's intelligent, but that's a level of intelligence that the average intellectual should be intimidated in his presence. James Woods is not that man.

You sound like you're pretty smart and read good.

Not to brag, but I did attend the prestigious Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Want to Do Other Stuff Good Too.

If you could fix one problem in the USA that would give you the best rate of return, it would be chi;dren growing up w/o a mother and father. Studies have shown that kids that come from a two parent home have much better odds at achieving in life than those who do not. It is also independent of race, income level, or social standing.

But how to you force a deadbeat dad to stay? The entire culture has to be changed.

The problem is easy to identify but the solution is extremely difficult to implement. One step would be for the govt to go after dead beat dads when the family is on govt assistance.

It would end up being racist if you did that.

Progressives wouldn't like it at all, even though it would be helping their base, which probably explains why they wouldn't like it.

While I say we sterilize anyone who is likely to be a deadbeat dad, I've got a better idea: on the taxpayers dime offer anyone $40,000 to sterilize themselves. It would save billions in the long term, and stupid people would sterilize themselves for it. Also anyone who has a baby on welfare will be forcibly sterilized themselves as well as their baby's daddy. I think that would go a long way.

Does that explain the lower IQs of certain subsets of urban folks?

Imagine that..
Men are logical, women are emotional.

I really believe it entirely comes down to the family. I have quite a few black friends, and guess what: they came from good families. Whites who came from a shitty home structure are just as fricked. I think it entirely comes down to having good parents who are together and are able to support you.

Exactly, I foresee a govt program to develop super intellects from carefully nurtured male gay households!

That and people that care about learning and teaching. If education is Denigrated, then what do you expect?
