    My point exactly.

    You know Dave, I find it interesting that you stoop to these silly one line comments. I have read some of your posts in the PF that show you are quite a thinker with interesting opinions on many subjects. Why not actually put together a few sentences that give your opinion pertaining to the thread? If all you want do is make silly comments why not go to the humor section of the forum?

    Thank you, it was mostly rote memorization which was how I aced most of my tests, I learned early on just remember what is talked about in class and the test will be based on that.

    Which one-liner in this current discussion was silly?

    I haven't seen a real discussion in this section of the forum since never. I'm here, in Gun Control, because once in a while someone has something intelligent to share about a firearm I enjoy. I enjoy sharing, not posting divisive garbage which is all PF has become.

    Which is why you opposed creating a separate forum to allow the posting of "something intelligent to share about a firearm I enjoy?"

    All IQ means is that you can score at a certain level on an IQ test. There are no absolute correlations between IQ and anything. By that silly rule, you would guarantee that 16% of the population cannot own firearms or run for office.

    The IQ test is a common sense test, where they give you a sentence, and in the sentence tell you how to answer the question and then you pick the answer. I feel that people who can not do that should not be making laws or have a deadly weapon.

    Not really. Rural Americans don't systematically have a lower IQ than urban Americans. Just shows your basic ignorance, which you seem happy to exhibit.

    Again, showing your ignorance. There is a lot more to an IQ test than that. I've taken a doctoral level tests and measurement class in educational psychology. You are very far off with that answer. You've taken an IQ test. Most are not that straight forward.

    And Republicans would take over the governments of large cities.

    If this wasn't administered by an educational psychologist, it's probably erroneous. The Facebook IQ tests aren't accurate.

    It was an online one that allowed you to pay to have a fill analysis of your score. It also keeps track of all the scores people get.

    How is the above at all relevant to voting? Now, I would agree to administer the Naturalization test, and require people to score as high as we require immigrants to score in order to get citizenship.

    I think the above is trivia. I think it should be more important to know the Constitution.

    So in other words, it was not accurate nor administered in any way scientifically. That result is meaningless.

    Online tests, much like random telephone surveys, have no mechanism for ensuring accuracy, and thus are scientifically invalid.

    You are as about unknowldgable about what an IQ test score means as you are about the Constitution and the viability of executing your vision in the US.
    So Mr. Koresh, let us know how it goes; I’ve yet to see a taker here.

    While I don't see knowing the states and their capitals as trivial. I do agree that knowing the Constitution would definitely be more important.

    Just one more reason illustrating that we are a Republic, not a democracy.
