An IQ test? Anthony Watson Jun 3, 2021, 7:51 PM yes...IQ must be in top 2% of society so it fluctuates a little bit depending on how smart your "era" is David Jun 3, 2021, 7:52 PM Great desk Bruno Molteni. I got to up my speaker game, we have a broken surround sound system. David Jun 3, 2021, 7:52 PM Anthony Watson so if your IQ is certain number, they just let you in? Do you get a Mensa card to prove it?

I eschewed Mensa because it was a whole bunch of poor smart people. However, as times got tougher and I had no degree the tech industry really wanted college. To survive I joined Mensa to give a certification for the CPU size I was born with. However, I know the most important thing is CQ not IQ...character quotient. IQ is just like having red hair or being tall. It is a thing but not the only thing. Jeez. I only speak one language I have no claim to being a genius. BUT the clean desk dirty desk is a long debate of my career. i had to weigh in. IQ is ONE measure of problem solving but only ONE. I perform well there, but what if you ask me to fix my car...well I am mechanically retarded and I would be challenged. I have done it of course, but I recognize the diversity of intellect...there are many facets to it. Guy Jun 3, 2021, 8:03 PM ๐ช 3 :pleading_face: 2 ๐ช 1 Not to flex or nothin....

Very interesting! Guy Jun 3, 2021, 8:15 PM Anthony Watson couldn't help but notice the massive chess board behind you, do you have an elo/rating?? Anthony Watson Jun 4, 2021, 12:06 AM :chess_pawn: 1 Guy I have never played in an international tourney so I only have a USCF rating That scale is rating 2200 is a National Master 2000 is Expert 1800 is Class A 1600 Class B ...my high water mark was 1976. My current rating is a semi respectable 1700 only because the USCF started putting a "floor" on people's ratings. because it got so high even if I play crappy it will never go below 1700. I think it is also a ploy to get old guys to play and give up rating points to youngsters without the additional humiliation of a triple digit chess rating. Guy Jun 4, 2021, 12:54 AM ๐ฝ 1 Anthony Watson oh wow! That's impressive man! I started playing a bit recently and had no idea how much depth the game has, making me feel proud of my messy desk now, maybe you could give me a couple lessons๐ Arthur Jun 4, 2021, 12:54 PM I totally agree with Anthony Watson - my desk is a total mess.
