[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or to put it a different way, everyone seems to think that they and their children have an IQ over 130.   Most of those people would be in for a rude awakening if they actually had their IQ tested.  The average IQ for many professions like doctors, lawyers, or engineers isn't nearly as high as you might imagine.  [/quote]

DP.  This is what PP is referring to, I assume.

From the article:

What does this tell us?

Nothing really. IQ tests are fast becoming yesterday’s standard, as the modern-day community has made the move to placing greater emphasis on skills, abilities, and professional training, rather than categorize an individual’s professional value based on how he / she scores on a test.

With this being the case, IQ results are more so now used in instances like this – a fun comparison, but nothing that should be taken too seriously. ?[/quote]

I'm the first PP, and I absolutely agree with you.  The only reason I brought it up in the first place is to rebut the notion that this area is so much smarter and more special than everywhere else in the country.  All of this sequed from a different tangent on asians, prepping, and how common prepping is in FCPS.  [/quote]
