Magnificent!


What a wonderful attitude! Cheers to her, and to you too!

... a familiar refrain on the entire dcum board from the lady with the multiple personality disorder.


Since you obviously just sock-puppeted yourself, does that mean you have a "split" personality?

ITA. This has got to be the poster who obsesses about "training for IQ like building muscles for a sports team." There's definitely interesting research in this field. But this particular poster has no idea what she's talking about, no objectivity, and fails to interpret correctly even the links she provides herself.

Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Are you having a conversation with anyone in particular?

Your smarty pants response can apply to every subject on this board. Why do you read dcum? Just leave it alone already.

Does preparation increase IQ or is IQ fixed? No amount of preparation, schooling, learning or education will budge what is fixed and hardened in stone. Is a preparation, schooling, learning or education a good or thing for young children...or only when playing ball?
