They need to go right back to basics with the IQ tests because some of the more intellectual people I've met couldn't screw the lid on a jar! You know, tongue out, holding the thing cack handed, trying to remember which way to turn it! Coloured shapes in holes, people, to start with!

And they all run funny and can't throw a ball!

A little known fact is that ants don't have balls because they can't dance.

And much is made of the fact that Firemen have bigger balls than Policemen because they sell more tickets.

I have gone to some of the events as an adult. Special lectures with guests on topics I'm interested in but your all right that the adults that are really involved seem to be classic geeks!

They don't use "IQ" tests tho, it is aptitude based so matching pattern sequences etc. They do tests with a few different psycologists (sp?) over a few days and use a whole range of things to judge you.

In the end it really doesn't meed shit. I know some people more athleticly able and taller than other fiends who play basketball all the time but the more Physically gifted ones sometimes just sit on the couch playing Playstation eating pies.

The real world is far more entertaining IMO.
