Who is the most intelligent person on SDnet?

Rules: You have to have some kind of valid data to back it up, such as test scores SAT, ACT, or whatever test with an acronym you have taken.

After a time a new thread may be started on which we can vote the winner.

(remember we are working on the honor system here... you can lie about your qualifications on your resume, but not on this thread)



I don't know about the vote, but have at it, everyone.

It was a stupid topic there and its a stupid topic here.

So why was it stupid?

This is indeed a stupid thread. You'll have a couple of people who will genuinely post their credentials. Then you'll have quite a few people who will laugh the whole idea off as absurd and stupid. And then you will probably have a gaggle of jackasses who will immediately claim to be the smartest one here without posting credentials.

Everybody thinks of himself as smart. But "proving" it with SAT or ACT scores is imbecilic. I'm inclined to lock this thread.

In that case, anyone who doesn't post any kind of credentials can be automatically discredited.


EDIT in response to Wong: I'm taking the subject as a comparison of test scores. Real intelligence is more than test scores, I know that, but this is academically measured smartness only. (I'm sure the original poster meant intelligence in general, but I've decided to say academics only)

Uh...and this proves exactly what again?

I mean we may have some who have scored very well on a variety of these tests...etc etc...and be as dumb as a frog on a log when it comes to certain debating arenas simply because lack of knowledge of the subject.

This topic is akin to dick sizing and asking the male members of SD.net of who has the largest dick.

I see this as a quick way to cause some dissension and unhappiness with the residents here. I think on average this is by far the smartest group of people in any message board I've ever been in. Can't we just leave it at that?

I'm sure Stephen Hawkins cares jack about Star Trek, if I read you correctly.

This is the geek equivalent of a dick-measuring contest, and I see no constructive purpose for it whatsoever. It is no more constructive than a comparison of wealth levels.

And yes, I agree with Stravo that we are collectively smarter than other webboards

In the meantime, I'm locking this.
