IQ testing now required before posting

[Peanutswar]

I just woke up with an headache now I get another headache because I'm getting bothered with my IQ; I'll beat Einstein with these tests. This is a week of IQ race for the new Einstein.

Some of these questions make you wanna stop and hope you'll get something easier next time

Makes me wonder what's the upper limit. Can we get to 300?

Selling IQ 

I'll trade you for merit. Just don't tell anyone.

[ultra-pool]

Anyone want to loan me some more IQ? LOL j/k

163! That's it. I'm demanding a recount (a recount!!!!) of the Bitcoin Geek award, o_e_l_e_o with a IQ of 100 is quite clearly an imposter.

Yeah. I did play the quiz just so I could make that joke.


I never knew I wanted a pub quiz on Bitcointalk until this day. I'm here for it.

Won't those who are married with children be exempted from this heinous task, knowing fully well that kids depreciate the intellectual quotient of parents?

I guess I must embark on IQ begging then if otherwise...

😌

You have no idea how hard it is to be a stupid idiot.

After all, chaotic editing of one post 20 times still did not allow me to lower my IQ below 100.

IQ isn't a consistent measurement of intelligence, remember that people of the forum.

[LogitechMouse]

Did a quick search on who have the highest IQ in the world and it seems that the highest is 263 base on Reader's Digest.

I will try to beat that IQ at least in this forum so I can say to myself that I'm the most intelligent person on Earth .

[philipma1957]

well this was a lot better than the covid virus joke.

my 3 iq scores are :

 139 23 years old 1980
 147 16 years old 1973
 151 12 years old 1969

they got lower as I got older. Most likely all the weed I smoked from 1972 to 1990

I wonder what I would do on one now?

Happy April Fool's day.

[PrimeNumber7]

I am glad that my intelligence will finally be recognized by the forum.

Edit: the claimed IQ score on my profile is wrong.

I wanna see satoshi come back next week with a ban appeal post instead of signing a message

Fun. We should actually implement this.

We should actually implement this.

I think something like this could be a good optional learning tool for learning a bit more about Bitcoin. I know the intention isn't at all serious, obviously. However, I know that theymos' was interested in doing some sort of Bitcoin course, and tying it into the forum. Although, doing something like this which caters to Bitcoin questions, and having a way for users to compete or compare scores, could promote some users to gain some knowledge, even if they were googling the answers, they'd likely learn something.

We could basically offer some learning to users, when they would be posting anyway, and providing a leaderboard of some kind would likely motivate certain users. Obviously, making it optional, and doesn't impact the forum in any real way. Think it could be fun, without other too many downsides.

In order to improve the overall forum experience, going forward we are only going to allow smart people to post. To determine your intelligence, you will be required to answer a question every time you post (or edit your post). Your answers will be used to calculate your IQ, and starting next week, everyone with an IQ below 120 will be banned.

Let's make Bitcointalk.org into the ivory tower of excellence that it was always meant to be!

So basically, you are making dumb people google easily google-able facts? Going by the bell curve of IQ distribtion in humans, I would say half of this board will be frustrated with the system, and after a while and might just decide to leave.

However, maybe this will make them smarter. Please add mathematics and science questions to the test.

Oh wait, its an April Fools joke. You got me.

I like it so far I got all correct but I had to google one to be sure.

[Ale88]

Yes thank you, I got IQ only 95

As European that's a tough question 

[shasan]
