Paris Hilton is smarter than you.
 

Who'd a thunk! I like how the only movies this "actress" has ever done she played a retard (her fake self) and a nightvision porn star. GOD SHES AMAZING! So we've all been fooled how are you taking the news?

Moved to Laughs and Games.

I'm now very deeply disturbed. There must be some logical explanation for all this. Is jealously a proper response? ;___;

EDIT: I guess not.

Is there even a point of Mensa?

Didn't know about Mensa until now:

Well alright then. She's still ugly though. =/

Which is part of the reason why you'll never be a member.

She may have been intelligent at one stage, but i'd say she's lost most of it from bouncing her head off the roof so much

Not only that - not interested to being in this utopia to begin with - along with the likes and ranks of Hilton, which you have moved to the laughs and games forum, disproves of her ever been. Also, hello average IQ, no lie. Osaka, on the other hand, has a very high IQ.

I'm not convinced that Paris Hilton would be all that smart to begin with. If she is a genius, why would she want to tarnish her own reputation down to the status of stupid bimbo? Also, her putting a sex tape on the internet for all to see doesn't sound like the action of an intelligent person.

"It's one of the best-kept secrets in the world,"
Not anymore, apparently.

Ahaha, Mensa is crap. I took their exam when I was about 15, organised by my school, and they sent me an invitation to join afterwards. Anyone with an IQ above 140 is invited, and they expect an annual membership fee for about 50 bucks. Probably about 20 USD or so. From what I saw of the organisation, it's filled of middle aged people so I threw away the letter. =/ I was 15.

I think none of the people in my school actually joined since 80% of them got an invitation, which makes about 100 over geniuses in my school alone. Paris getting in isn't much of a shock. She might had even bought her way in by her parents. Which is why it's kept a secret.

Or, just another publicity act.

I'm wondering why it took an amateur porn video to rocket her to her current stardom, if she is really so smart? The claim seems dubious to me.

Unless I've been told wrong, I.Q.'s are suppose to be the measure of how much a person is capable of learning. And I'm willing to bet her score is was so high b/c she rarely uses her brain, so it's like something that's brand new.

I don't really trust IQ tests. Especially since Jessica Simpson was reported to have an IQ of 160 and I just found an article that claims that Kerry has a lower IQ than Bush. I'm a moderate and I think both candidates have their pluses and minuses.

I'm thinking hoax. Although she probably has more business knowhow than most.

P.S. andkeener, your sig really freaks me out.

Dahahah.

It's a fucking hoax, you morons. It's reported on a blog. It isn't real.

I don't think an IQ of 144 is so high. I remember late last year, I was slightly drunk by drinking a few glasses of champagne, and I did my IQ test on Tickle.com. My IQ was 135, even though I wasn't fully sober.

And I am not smart at all, so I don't think 135 (or 144) IQ is high.

IQ level is not as reliable as you think, at least in my opinion.

Yeah....an internet IQ test is not a fair measure of your true intellect. If you really want to know, take a "real" intelligence test at your local Mensa chapter (hey look there's that Mensa name again lolllz)

Suffice you say, I very much doubt your IQ is actually 135.

YEA, NO SHIT, YOU ASSES. If I run out and say that my mother discovered nuclear energy, would you fucking BELIEVE IT? No. Not to mention this came from a FAMILY MEMBER or something OF Paris'. Come on, you guys. Smarten up.

While I am SURE the girl is smarter than you think she is, theres no way in hell that girl knows shit about the how to use her brain. BUSINESS world, I am sure she excels.

MENSA is bullshit anyways. For a group who considers themselves to be the top 2% of the world's intelligence, they sure are fucking elitist assholes who do nothing but prove that they aren't really that smart by building a boy's club and calling themselves intelligent. Dumbest people I can think of, myself.

I did my IQ test and that is what I got (Not that I care whether you believe me or not). I was surprised by this score too, since one of my other friends got 128 and I consider him a lot smarter than me (you see, I'm showing some modesty, I am not trying to show off my IQ score).

IQ levels mean nothing in general to me, and you are right, IQ tests on the Internet are kind of crap anyways.

God I know plenty of these kind of people. They are GENIUSES when it comes to academic work, but leave them alone in the streets and they'll cry. One of my friend don't even how to order at McD's.

I know people like that too. But to tell you honestly, I would prefer being book-smart over street-smart any day, because being street-smart can only take you so far. But yeah there's alot of people that are like that.

If there is anything to put people off believing internet IQ tests it would be my results. There's no way in hell I'm as intelligent as they would have me think and I have the certificates to prove it >.<

It's gotta be a hoax. No way can she be incapable of holding down a proper job with an IQ that high.

this IQ stuff is complete bull as said before there is no way some one as supposedly smart as hilton would have to use porn to start thier carrer

Back in the day, I took an IQ test which came out to 168. That's quite nice, really, being above "average MENSA member" and not too far below "!!! genius!". About a year ago, I took an online IQ test, Tickle.com, was it? Regardless, mine came out to about 134. That's a 34 point discrepancy. Now, of course, I only took these respective tests once, and it may not the best representative sample, but given my experiences thus far in life, I'm willing to bet that IQ is not exactly as accurate as people have made it out to be.

Also, rent me a wagon and a band - this is a hoax. The source is completely unreliable for a number of reasons.

Protecting your sources is cool, but anonimity makes for a dubious original source.

Who the hell is Jack Brummet, and why does his blog translate to truth? Or even accuracy?

Here's a source I trust more than yours. Wikipedia, fool

HOLY F***. HOLY F***. AMARA.

I too got 168 on MENSA AND 134 on Tickle's classic IQ test. Tickle later sent you a free report stating that you're one of the few people that got these scores right? WTH. DID YOU COPY ME THROUGH TELEPATHY?

Wait. Are you SERIOUS? That's absolutely insane, Scarlet! Sonuvabitch.

Okay, my special talents are a keen musical ear and an ability to reproduce music by ear, as well as a knack for mathematics and a malfunctioning photographic memory. What have you got?

We're like some sort of superhero team, now.

Oh wait, I rechecked the site, and apparently I got 136 for Tickle :tpg:


looool Visionary Philosopher. What was your intellectual type?

I just got 134 on the Tickle.com IQ test.

SOMETHING IS AWRY.

=O

^Did you get the free report as well? What did it say?

As far as I know, the IQ test wasn't originally designed to see who was a genius and who wasn't, but rather the opposite: to detect people with deficiencies.
So, people getting insanely high IQs aren't necessarily geniuses - some questions are just patterns, which once learnt, can skyrocket your results in a similar test.

Didn't Edison had average I.Q? Lol, nice one with the Wikipedia.

Really? The questions in Tickle's classic test is pretty different to me. Plus, the MENSA test consists of only images but different pattern on all questions. Soo... I don't know. Guess you should try it anyways and see what your results are. =\

...weird. The last time I took a proper IQ test, with cube counting and math problems and everything, I scored 168 too! I only got 117 on the Tickle test, though.

IQ isn't really that meaningful of a number, though...I mean, it tries to take so many characteristics about a person's mind, turn them into numbers, and then turn THOSE numbers into one nice big one. It doesn't measure creative, physical, or applied abilities at all, either. It's really more useful for spotting people who need additional help learning than it is at finding geniuses.

Well, it looks like you and I have exactly the same brain! 136 Visionary Philosopher! This test is so accurate, it's frightening.

No wonder we gather here. GFF: Genius' False Faith

I took the Tickle Test.

Scored 142, and I'm apparently a Visionary Philosopher like Scarletdeath and knkwzrd.

Awaiting The One who will achieve perfect score on first try.

What is a perfect score for an IQ test anyway?


And I like how we got away from the Paris Hilton topic because it's bogus no matter how you look at it.

I think the highest IQ score would be 180? I heard that there's no limit to the actual score though; not sure.

Mods, please change title to Test your IQ at Tickle dot com!

True IQ tests would rank participants by percentile...so I don't think that there is any such thing as a maximum IQ score. Even the best regular tests aren't very accurate at the low and high ends of the scale, though...only 1 in 100,000 people have IQs above 165 or below 35 if I understand this all correctly, so it's a bit tough to represent people who are that gifted or challenged on a simple numeric scale. I don't think that the Tickle test is as accurate as the Stanford-Binet Test, either!

It's kind of a bad habit to brag about having a really high IQ, though. The test was originally designed to spot students who would need additional help with basic math and reading, not so that all of these high-IQ boys' clubs could pop up everywhere.

...by the way, I'm copying this out of my educational psychology textbook, so I might be getting everything completely wrong. Sorry!

I got a 122 on the Tickle.com test, better than I thought I'd get, to be honest... ;)

Free report? Crap, didn't notice :(

I remember taking an IQ test but it wasn't for Mensa. It was just to test the academic ability for students in North Carolina. This was during my Senior year in High School so it was back in Early 2003. When I got the results back, I thought it was the average score.

I had thought that 180 was considered higher than normal, 120 lower than normal, and 140 around average-ish (IQs were never really talked about so I simply estimated what was high and low). That showed how ignorant I was. My score was 139, and I must say I was shocked to find out that 140+ is actually considered high and I was just a single point away from it. I really do not feel like I have a 139 IQ though o.O

Even people who come across as painfully stupid can be a genius in disguise. I don't think I'm a genius, though. Remember, a number is just a number. No one is so smart they know how to do everything they're asked to. I'm pretty sure Paris Hilton can't build a Plane engine from broken scrap parts. A genius, by today's standards, seems to be generalized by how much basic knowledge (history, physics, psychology) and mathmatical ability you have. What really matters is if you're a genius in a specific field of study (i.e. your career). That would mean you'd be the go-to guy/girl for any information regarding that field. Just because Paris Hilton has an IQ of 144 doesn't mean I'd go to her and ask advice on how to code my own video game.

Long-winded story short, an IQ is just a number. Just do your best in school and your career. In the end, that's really all that matters.

It should have been emailed to you.

I've just took Tickle's Classic IQ test, scoring 136@Visionary Philosopher. Not bad :p

I'm not sure which IQ test you're reading about, but everytime I've learned about the IQ test, it was originally desinged in France. At the time, they didn't have enough money to provide further education to all students, so they designed a test to see whom would suceed within a school environment, and thus used the funds to their benefit over the other childrens. Looked it up online, and source seem to support your claim. Wonder if its just like the whole columbus = great vs columbus = idiot arguement.

The average IQ is 100. As the population gets smarter (well, knows more), the IQ test in continually ajusted to keep the average at 100. The standard deviation is 15 points, roughly 68% of the populace is within 15 points on both sides of 100. The next standard deviation on each side also contains 14% each. Roughly 96% of the populace is between 70 - 130 in IQ. This leaves only roughly around 4% for below 70 and above 130 IQ. It seems like everyone likes to report a very high IQ, however, the ammount of claims never seem to match up with the proper percentage. Funny how that works.

Also, online IQ tests are a joke. They are right there with the FREE XBOX 360 banners and pop-ups.

Are you sure they're a joke? Amara and I got higher scores on MENSA written exams compared to online tests. =\

They have very low reliability across tests. Low ammount of questions with a high ammount of variance, and no measure of validity. Every now and then they might nail someone on the head, but it'll be out of probability, not any accurate measure.

I did it when I was eight years old. It was monitored by professionals. I scored 150, and it was a great help to me, since I skipped a grade because of it.

Not to discourage you, but you do know that IQ tests are harder as you age right? Not to say harder; more like they are more strict in giving you higher scores. If a person were to score 180 at the age of 8, that same person might only get 110 at the age of 17.

That's true. Your action on stage is pratically the intellegence the world is going to see and that's what they'l believe in. Just stating that she was a member of Mensa, doesn't refute that she's a total ditzs outside of her intellectual being. If you act stupid, you are stupid, don't try to cover the truth. Denial is the first step to acceptance, though I doubt that PH is in denial. (act as she will, half the world don't care)
