What is your IQ?

People think pot makes us stupid, so share your IQ! I test at 138. Not genius, not stupid. I've taken quick online tests and a long professional IQ test. The results are usually very close.

somewhat recently I was tested for rehabilitation back into the workforce after my back accident. Two written tests from 2 different entities had me @ 139 & 142, while a verbal IQ test was administered to me by one of the same outfits had me @ 125 which I balked at until they told me that was commensurate with my 142 on the written and in the top 92/93% of those tested.

another 9 part test was given to me by a QRC (qualified rehabilitative counselor) on a day that I'll admit to feeling especially sharp, brain synapses firing away. This QRC had his PhD, at least that's what his business card said. All during the different test(s) I kept hearing him say things like "nobody's ever finished that portion so fast" or "nobody's ever finished this part of the test" & "nobody's ever gotten this far." At the end of two hours or so we were done, I knew he was going to tell me I'd scored higher than anyone he'd tested before and he did, and then as he was shaking my hand while parting he added one more thing with a smile, "I hate working with people smarter than myself," that was a very gratifying day.

I know I owe a lot of my learned smarts by my keen interest in crossword puzzles from '76 through '81, I always had dictionaries & thesauruses at hand in my warehouse & my home, obviously whatever I knew helped to fill in portions of what I didn't, but just filling in a line in my crossword wasn't enough I found myself starved for knowing. My cocaine addiction from '81 through '88 was/is a blur, I got most of my street smarts in those years but not much else. Failing eyesight even with glasses during the mid to late '90s spelled doom for my reading any periodicals with small print, shit gives me a headache to this very day if I try.


now for the rest of the story, I fucking stumbled my way through high school with mostly C's & D's and an occasional B scattered in there. I feel like it was add/adhd and not diagnosed, my folks paid for tutoring for me but that didn't help, I graduated in '74 by the skin of my teeth. College was not much better, slightly better but not by much.

without a doubt, the more weed I smoked in later years the sharper I became, weed leveled me out and allowed my mind to focus and absorb; everything I heard, saw or read was understood and memorized by me, I forgot nothing that might have meaning in my life down the road.

this is certainly not to say that I know shit about certain subjects, there are many things I've chosen to ignore, classical music, poets and writers to start with right on through to many current subjects as well, I often tire of the tug of war by opposing sides to foster their agendas, accusations that can't be proven, political positions lost & gained. too much bullshit flying today.

I made my bones, own my home free and clear, I don't need much, don't have much and don't want much. I live a simple life typical of any other rural resident in the usa. I wish our mmj laws in Minnesota were less stringent but I just can't trade the beauty of the north country only to settle in a more cannabis friendly place, somewhere along the way I learned to be a patient mofo.

To balk

hesitate or be unwilling to accept an idea or undertaking.

My iq is rising just from hanging on icmag

Never had mine tested. I think id do good, general knowledge/mental abilities.. Ive said this before but my short-comings are a bit on the social side. I am slow in the head to socialize. Dont catch on on certain social cues, talk in a monotone voice.

Im a little ocd and withdraw a bit from people from time to time. Especially new groups of people, too much stimulus. Dont know what to wrap my head around. Some groups i dont have a problem with, know them from before or they seem like real good people. It takes time for me to be at ease with someone, sometimes a lot of time, and theres a lot of people i wont take a risk on. Sorry guys, learned the hard way.

plus 4 on the shugin scale


PLUS FOUR, n. (++++) A rare and precious transcendental state, which has been called a "peak experience," a "religious experience," "divine transformation," a "state of Samadhi" and many other names in other cultures. It is not connected to the +1, +2, and +3 of the measuring of a drug's intensity. It is a state of bliss, a participation mystique, a connectedness with both the interior and exterior universes, which has come about after the ingestion of a psychedelic drug, but which is not necessarily repeatable with a subsequent ingestion of that same drug. If a drug (or technique or process) were ever to be discovered which would consistently produce a plus four experience in all human beings, it is conceivable that it would signal the ultimate evolution, and perhaps the end, of the human experiment.
— Alexander Shulgin, PIHKAL, pages 963–965

Lsd a shortcut to false samadhi ?


Some guy (hindu) claims samadhi on lsd is not real samadhi, its only a dream. Full article here.

The part i dont agree with it
If you have not known anything about Kundalini, it is impossible to feel it through LSD.

I didnt know nothing about it and got my experience.

Guy goes on to say that its projections :
Samadhi comes from your unconscious longing. If you have longed for it then LSD will help you. LSD can be a help to anything unconscious, to be psychically realised, but it is not a spiritual revelation. What you have seen is something which you wanted to realize, projected on the psychic canvas, so it is not Samadhi and it is not genuine. It is neither; and it is nothing else than dreaming. It is just a dreaming phenomenon.

Also, studies show people who have meditated for a long time seem to show same kind of brain activity as people who are on good doses of mushrooms.


Meditation effects the same parts of the brain as magic mushrooms, according to current research.

Magic mushrooms are one of the most well loved and widely used substances in the psychedelic pantheon, and have been for quite some time. But we’re still discovering the effects of psilocybin (the psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms) on the brain—which, it turns out, remarkably resemble the effects of meditation.

One thing this does not mean, however, is that magic mushrooms are a replacement for meditation. The experience, knowledge, and insight gained from years of dedicated meditation practice cannot be circumvented with a quick fix.

Ask yourself...if drugs could awaken anything, wouldn't we have a completely awakened world by now?

Awakening is not a permanent state by any means, but something you DO and have to keep doing: a mountain to a plateau and then assimilation with everyday-life, to another mountain, another plateau and another assimilation...in other words the work never ends, only there's a great deal of joy for the work and happiness to see each and every mountain. With drugs, there's only one mountain, one valley and no plateau, no assimilation. You just go up and down, up and down, and that's all.

peace,

Unlike Alcohol which contract consciousness, psychedelic drugs expands our consciousness. But there is a great difference when we raise it by Drugs and yoga. In yoga we prepare our nerves for handling the rush of huge energy. We strengthen our nerves by sending the energy little by little day by day. In Meditation we use our own will power to raise the energy. But when we take drugs The huge energy rushes through the unprepared nerves. If this goes on everyday the nerves get depressed and damaged. And also when we take drugs it is the drugs that take control. We become slaves of the chemical. This suppresses our will power which is the main strength we must have to progress in our spiritual path. So those who takes drugs so frequently wont be able to progress spiritually. There is no spiritual progress without Strong nerves and will power.

142 if the online test I took is to be believed. But IQ is subjective. I knew a guy with a very high IQ. Dude was super smart, but be damned if the firing order of a small block Chevy didn't confound the hell out of him. And I've known rednecks that could barely spell, but could grow the best weed you've ever had.

Now some of the people I work with, I have no clue how they can find their own ass with both hands, a flashlight AND a map. Christ, what a bunch of morons.

High school counselor told me I tested higher than any teacher in our school to motivate me. Not a surprise it didn't work?

IQ measures a facet of intelligence, it doesn't measure raw potential.

Take the weight of the math or English components for example.

They are relative to socioeconomic conditions.

I was tested at low 130's and it was noted that I was difficult and uncooperative as the tester showed enthusiasm for my aptitude. My behavior and lack of cooperation biased the tests, my math and English scores were very low.

I have had more then one Mensa ask me if I were a member.

No, I am not smart enough to contain my intelligence to paradigm other people create.

160' but who's counting..

160' but who's counting..

My Dad was an out and out genius..

Two of my half sisters passed the SAT with perfect scores (a first for a female) and went on to MIT with full scholarships, 1 worked on the Space Shuttle the other had 4 kids, go figure.

My Father left when I was 7 so I found that more than just intelligence was required for success. It was very difficult for me to get along with the "regular kids", they just didn't understand me.

It's good to be smart but you have to apply yourself, nothing is ever given to you.

There's a lot of smarties out there who cannot cope with everyday life.

Peace
