I totally agree with you.
When I was 17, I've got 160 for my IQ. Now, after 4 years, I take another IQ test and I just got ~150.
Truly stress affects how the brain works after all.
And, I don't mind having lower IQ, 'coz not everything in life was taught in school. You just have to know it by yourself. The more you get older, the more you learn (from experiences).
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

Which is what I've learned. Book smarts are great to serve as a foundation to build on, but that itself is not the whole picture. Experience is the true teacher in life. It's one thing to recite a book, it's a whole other to know from firsthand experience.
Some of the folks what would test low on an IQ test are usually happy and smiling and have no social qualms. So who's really the smart ones?

Yeah, I agree.
Jeremy Falcon wrote: So who's really the smart ones?
Before, I always say that the 'smart ones' don't exist for I know that everyone has their dumb side.
But now that I have a different perspective about 'smart ones', I can say that they are the ones who enjoy their life to the fullest despite the fact that they are not genius nor rich.

I agree. And I'd add to that knowing yourself as a person to know which new experiences would make you happy. If you're a nerd, be the best damn experienced nerd ever. If you're a bad influence, well be the best damn experienced bad influence ever. Living up to your potential whatever it may be is smart in my book.

Nice advice. 
So, if I am a bummer, then I've been the best experienced bummer ever, I'm entitled to be called a 'smart one'?

I suppose there's some clueless guy (ie, sucker) you could bum off of to make him happy. Then you're happy. He's happy. Win-win. I mean you may have to massage his feet on occasion, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

To me, a bum is someone who mooches off someone else.

ah. Mine's definition is subtler. A bum, AFAIK, is someone who spend time wandering and/or usually unemployed.

An IQ test is a useless indicator of intelligence, and has no relevance at all when it comes to your suitability for a job.
Your random fact is not always true. Sustain, in a guitar, is a complex set of interacting elements and is much more affected by things such as the wood used in the body. I would put the sustain in my 777 Universe up against the sustain in my Brian May any time - the 777 pretty much sustains all on its own.

More people need to realize it's a load of fluff. I've learned a lot from people that would have a low IQ. Turns out another way of looking at analysis is over thinking. Over thinkers never get that far in life. So much for a high IQ. Take that mensa!!

Firstly ..YOU LOVE VAI TOO !! *high five*(you have to really like a player to buy a 7stringed signature model otherwise schecter,strictly 7 or musicman would be a better choise..not for me I love Ibanez) now...sustain is always reduced when you install a floyd rose.Ibanez has those steel balls on their good ones to limit energy loss.
I never said the floyd is the major sustain-eater. For me it's more the 'height' of the strings..but when you set them too high the organ becomes unplayable!
...isn't the neck join much uncomfortable when shredding in high frets?
I have an RGT42 which is neck through (t stand for through I guess) an,apart from giving good sustain with extremely low action it does not in any way obstruct my fingers when playing in gigh frets...that's why Im afraid to buy a bolt-on guitar...it will feel like a cello !

An IQ can't tell whether you are good to code (or any other stuff you have mentioned). Go and figure it out yourself.
You can start with the C# Tutorials[^] provided by the MSDN.
You will ned VS EXpress[^] installed.
If you encounter any problems, double-check whether you have any spelling mistakes, etc., Google for the error text, and once you did all that, and only then, you can ask us in the C# Forum[^].
And please stop adding the random facts, it seems childish.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

My favourite T Shirt is my Iron Maiden Number Of The Beast T Shirt. That's from 1982.

My T Shirts hardly survive more than a year, that's why I prefer Shirts / Sweaters.

I'm turning 22 this October, too. 
But everyone I've met the first time said I look like a 16-year-old girl.
