When someone feels he needs to PAY and be a member of a certain group to prove their superior intelect, I seriously question that person's mental sanity.

HELLIQ is just a grown up version of bullies stealing their lunch money in high school

Regarding myself, Mensa is the only society I'm a member of which demands an annual fee (EUR 44). For this fee it regularly sends me a magazine printed in colour on high gloss paper. All the other societies I'm a member of are such where membership is free of charge. I would have scored high enough on various IQ tests to join even more societies, but I don't want to pay a fee to a society that is mostly inactive and offers nothing more than listing you as a member at its homepage.

Alas, there are also various people offering "high range IQ tests" on the Internet who demand a fee for scoring the tests. Some of them seem to be earning quite a fair amount of money this way. I admit I accepted some of these offers, but after spending about EUR 50 on IQ tests in total, I decided to stop and took only free IQ tests from that time on.

cos you cannot test your IQ enough!

I accepted an invitation to take part in the first testing session of a new IQ test last Sunday and scored IQ 173 sd 15. You can find the test and solutions here.

too many numbers. i cant even remember phone numbers!

Maybe the entrance fee is not only paid for being listed, but maybe also for the pleasure of the test? I'm a weak chess player, but i do pay entrance fee to chess tournaments. And chess players do also have a fucking IQ like rating (ELO). I sometimes pay for puzzles magazines (most of the time no listing here). I do also try to motivate my pupils to take part in (non free) Maths/puzzles contests. Hopefully the biggest interest lies in the fun of thinking, not the rating (be it IQ or else).

So i disagree if your idea is that paying for a test is stupid. But if you say 50 bucks is a too much i must agree, puzzle magazines costs approx 5€ each, 1 day chess tournament is approx 10€.

You don't pay for the test at HELLIQ, you pay to get listed after showing proof from an accepted test done elsewhere.

Ok my mistake, and i cannot disagree then...

Only Adok & only on pouet could talking about IQ tests be this entertaining.

I got this idea in my head...

Creating a site where sceners can pay like $100 to get listed. I will claim it's the only pr00f to be a real sc3n3r. Uploading your productions will cost $10 each, multi file costs $5 each file. And premium account (for posting on the forum) will cost extra like $50 each month. So desperately please, with sugar on top, can I get the pouët.net 0.9.903 source code, to get started really really soon?

sounds like google play

danzig: ill host it for 10% revenue share.

BTW, the "World Genius Directory" is located here: http://www.psiq.org/

Listing in that directory is even free.

"even free" wow. Now, who cares?

Who cares about demos?

The answer to both questions is: Some do.

yet this is a forum for the demoscene, not IQ masturbation class..

lol @maali.

Who thinks otherwise? Some do. Like Adok. Anyone else?
































nobody?



























thought so.

For example, you write at your homepage that you have a "first class" degree in computer science. So apparently you care about grades. Other people don't. Just acknowledge that everybody is different...

oh you're different alright..

wtf is a first class degree in computer science?

sitting behind computers with more leg room and better chairs

Sweet, will discuss class upgrade possibilities with my boss.

Adok: writing something in a portfolio and curriculum vitae once is one thing. Posting about it every 0-2 months and reminding everybody about it is a completely different thing.
