Many times in the forums here, especially the political forum, people accuse each other of being stupid, not smart or not as smart as the accuser.

So, I have been wondering how to measure how smart people are. I think we need something else than a simple IQ, because the measuring of IQ has many problems, and "smart" is more than IQ.

Maybe an approch is to use a point system, here is my first cut at it:

Add 1 point for:

1. each million you have made.
2. each 10 IQ points over 100
3. each doctoral degree.
4. each patent

Subtract 1 pont for:

1. each million you have lost.
2. each divorce
 
First post in english and it makes no sense.

My reply is six (6). Or, was that sex (sex)?
 
Let's go with:

Canadians are smartest
Followed closely (neck in neck, actually) by Americans from the Northern states
Followed very closely by the odd Brit (but aren't they all, really?) :) who are in fact tied with most Asian nations
Followed by other Americans
Then there's a HUGE intelligence gap
And then the rest of the world is all sort of muddled together
 
What was the question again?

lol

I can't believe that you put intelligence and money with the same scale. At least 50% of this forum's inhabitants shows that it's wrong!

LOL
 
I'm smart enough to know how dumb I am for spending all this money on escorts and mpas for all these years.

Deduct 2 points for wanton use of LMAO.:D

PS: Iwas looking for all you smart people to refine the methodology.

That puts me at -3.:eek:
 
Interesting math:

1 point for each million minus 1 point for each million lost and one point for each divorce. So, if you made 2 mill but divorced you'd come out even on points. If you made 4 mill, but divorced twice, you'd come out at - 1 (lose half your money each time (3), minus an additional 2 divorce points), but in the end you'd have the same money in your pocket as the first guy! However if you made 8 mill but divorced 3 times you'd likely subtract 10 points from your total, leaving you with -2 (again, despite having the same money left in your pocket as the first guy).

Looks like the designer of this measurement thought that divorcing was pretty stupid
