How smart are you?

Interesting math:


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

Or marriage. ;)

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

Do you really think that having a doctorate makes a person smart? What a laugh!
 
Okay

First you dont need a doctoral degree to be smart, you actually can be quite stupid .
Second you dont need to have a patent to be smart, just lucky to have thought of patenting something b4 evryone else.
And IQ scores vary depending on the field, I myself am classified as a mechanical genius, however I still dont know what a preverb or a conjugate is. Does that make me stupid....?
And you dont need to be smart to make a million! Look at Paris Hilton, she's as smart as a bag of rusty nails, yet making millions!
BTW I scored 5!

Smart is not putting your finger in the garberator twice!
Smart is not telling your wifes sister you just got blown by 2 hotter than hell SP's

Counting only US and Canadian patents

Subtract 1 point for each 1000 posts on Terb.(and 10 for being a moderator):p
