I have no faith at all in IQ's after I found out that mine has gone up 45 points in the last six months...

I heard that it was not really an IQ test, rather an education test, with a lot of knowledge being necessary rather than innate logical abilities.

a friend was telling em about the presenter making a horrid blunder on the show:

'Well, it seems that brunettes are the smartest, the blondes are doing a bit better than the reds, but everyone's smarter than the blacks! erm...black um..haired....people..that is...'

can't remember exact words

poor man. The papers will eat him alive...

I find the same thing with Algebra, although i had no problem with that in the test.....

@Ysh, geographically challenged, don't you mean stupid?

You did, yes. PM me with specifics and i will find you the links

BTW to back up my argument: http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation/resu ... tion.shtml

Go Sleepy!!

The specifics are, I bolted the changer directly to the floor of the boot and should have used a wooden dampener as we discussed a while ago - though it is not too bad, it could have been better, as I said, we live and learn

Exactly - look at the concentration in the SE

Ah, but whats the point in cheating you all, I could say that I got 88, like my grandad

(he did it on the TV, he did miss the first set of questions though...

)

It always will depend on the test

not so much the timing. I don't believe I get any brighter, but my scores have varied immensely - this being my lowest - but possibly trueist *shrugs*it doesn't matter to me at all, I like the challenge, as long as my wisdom gets me by who needs to be bright?

The presenters were the funniest part!

He acknowledged a students got the highest marks after one test and his first question to a student was 'what do you teach?'

the students response was 'I am a student - I don't teach' Philip Schofields response was 'this is why I am hosting and not taking part'

@Sleepy - no! I mean under represented!

See ya all.

It seems strange that they would make statements about Wales being the stupidest etc and then post things like that on the site that pretty much make a mockery of their results

You could obtain some dampening material fromDynamat which might help a bit, it is supposed to dampen road noise but it might work to stop it jumping

I must admit my changer does look amusing in it's little wooden shelf, i am think of carpeting it just so it fits in a little

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Sun May 12, 2002 2:46 pm

IMO it is all a mockery

Road noise is not an issue at all - it is the jumping from time to time - makes me wonder at all this road tax and council tax, my cd changer tells me the roads are crap!

See you soon Nippy!

More agreement from myself

I left the transport screws in mine which caused it to jump all the time, i did eventually realise what the problem was

Jumping could be the quality of the CDs you are using

Mine actually doesn't jump at all, i even went around the field and it didn't jump once

The midas test of the roads?

) he said "I didn't get where i am today by being Joni Mitchell"

Can't you unbolt it and re-attach? Even if you just put a bit of padding under the unit?

I am not off to watch 24 actually since it is the same episode they showed on Choice last week
