I'm talking about a copy of my ACTs or Nuke test, military test battery, or SATs. If it doesn't have my name on it then I will be accused of using someone elses. So you see the dilemna.

My handle is merely the nickname of the hero aviator in a comic book series my brother and I enjoyed as preschool kids, asshole. I never served in the military and never claimed to have done so. If you're offended in some way, too fucking bad.

Your "dilemna" is that if you somehow produced a test score indicating above-average intelligence, no one would believe its veracity. They would obviously conclude that you cheated or that someone else took the test.

Note: If a newcomer to this forum happens across this thread and wonders why people beat up on Barleycorn so mercilessly, here's the reason.

He starts a large number of political threads, and in most cases sees the discussion turn south for him in a hurry as he's getting his ass handed to him. Then he often lashes out by insulting everyone else, typically referring to all those with whom he disagrees as "idiots" in blanket fashion. Charming.

So Barleycorn earned the ridicule to which he is so often subjected. One time last year, he even responded by claiming that various tests had established that his IQ is in the top 0.2 percent of the distribution. (Yes, you read that right! The top one-fifth of one percent.)

But I must admit that I do think it's pretty funny to see him boast of what he claims to be his impressive mental horsepower!

[JD Barleycorn]

You wouldn't have a link to that purported post would you? Here is a funny thought, you weren't around last year and yet you claim to have seen what I've posted (yes, I see your sign up date but you weren't posting) so what name were you going by then and are you still using that name. Your aggressive attacks based on lies remind me of FuckZup. Is that you FuckZup? If anyone wants to take the time to go back and look I welcom it. It will become vary obvious who the room temperature IQ squad is around here.

My damn eyesight is going. Sometimes an "n" looks like a "m" unless I have the scale up to 150%.

wasn't hard to find with a quick search on Mensa.

[Whirlaway]

You obviously aren't a mensa candidate, since you can't read, much less comprehend. Where is the lie? Put up or shut up liberal idiot.

You nailed it. He can't get a score that high based on half the questions.

The point that was being made is that there are 30 questions on the test. If you stop at 17 and have answered 15 questions correctly, you have only answered 15 of 30 questions on the test correctly, or 50%. Questions not answered are incorrect answers.

[Whirlaway]

I get your point; you don't get mine..in fact, I clearly stated I quit the test (better things to do with my time)

I answered 15 of 17 questions correctly, then quit the test......... I never said Mensa scored my grade an 88% !

Reading comprehension isn't your strong point is it?

Again, where is the "lie" in my post?

Yep, as I wrote, that is what the tests say. I don't necessarily believe them and I don't say it. So find out where I said that I believe it rather than say the test results indicate that.

You probably roll your eyes and go "what difference does it make!" but it is a difference. The difference between a doctor having tests that say you have cancer and his own gut feeling that something else is going on. Go watch House.

Few minutes...7 minutes...better things to do with my time...like argue that just because it wasn't an outright lie, I wasn't spinning bullshit in my favor.

A similar conversation with Payton Manning:

How was the SuperBowl, Payton?

Payton: I was only on the field a little while, completed 34 of 49 passes though!

Didn't you get beat by 35 points?

Payton: You don't listen well do you?


You got caught, admit there's shit in your pants, wipe your ass and move on.

[Whirlaway]

How did I "get caught" ?

I posted that I quit the test....I never said Mensa scored me 88%.

Again, how did I "get caught" ?

You are a dunce if you don't comprehend what I posted. What is funny is you trying to make a federal case without any substance. You are a pea brain.

Really? Let's take a quick look at what you said in that linked thread:

No, I am not a member of the 999 or Mensa though I qualify for the latter. My percentile would be more accurately described as 99.8%. My SATs, ASVABs, ACTs, and a number of IQ tests verify that.

Oops! Looks like you stated definitively that your test scores "verify" an IQ in the top 0.2% of the distribution. You can't put it much more clearly than that. And it had to be one of the most laughably ridiculous claims to have ever been made in this forum!

Note that in Whirlaway's first post, he stated the following:

Got that? He simply said that he answered about one-half of the questions in the quiz. He didn't say which half, and only came back later to attempt some damage control by claiming to have answered the first 17. I doubt that anyone believes that. More likely, he initially cherry-picked the ones he thought he could answer, so that he could fool himself and enjoy some momentary solace arising from his newly-found delusion that he isn't quite the dunce everyone else obviously knows him to be.

Oh, that's been obvious for quite some time, hasn't it, professor? You and Whirlaway are charter members!

You two stupid buffoons seem to have a veritably unlimited capacity for embarrassing yourselves.

[Whirlaway]

Unbelievable. The amount of time you buffoons spend trying to discredit people (whom you think so lowly of) ...you liberal morons are too funny.....

I was very upfront with the fact that I didn't complete the test..........you can cry about it all you want. I answered 15 of 17 questions correctly = 88%...that rubs you dunces the wrong way...now you want to know which 17 questions I answered ?????



CaptainMidnight you are too funny; I am expecting you to now post a 1000 word retort on "cherry picking" mensa questions...........as if it is critical to your fucking lowly existence..perhaps you should analyze each question within the mensa test and tell us which 17 I should have answered; and why....but don't stop with that, continue to rant about why the mensa test questions are so important to you and why it is so important that the full 30 test questions be answered......you fucking fool.

Sorry, Whirlaway. No one who has seen your posts would believe for a minute that you're capable of achieving an above-average score on any type of proxy IQ test. I know it, you know it, and there's no doubt that virtually everyone reading this thread knows it. A little sensitive about that, aren't you? That's why you lash out at so many people. The same is obviously true of Barleycorn.

But I hope you guys continue to let your combination of stupidity and impetuousness write checks that your low-wattage brains can't cash. It's fun to watch you two clowns continually embarrass yourselves!
