Would you give up 20 points off of your IQ score to be more attractive?

[grue 1]

Well, would you?

Dude, you should have put FWO. What guy cares about how "attractive" he is? You should have added girth and inches for IQ and see what happens
After all, you could be ugly as sin and dumb as a fencepost, but lay a horse hammer on the bar table and no worries. Might as well play the mute

I would, in a heart beat, I dont use anywhere near my potential, so dropping 20 would put me in line with the average Joe and I 'd be better looking to boot

A "horse hammer" can be painful to many smaller women, size isn't always a good thing.

WRT the poll, if my IQ were 80 or less then I can't afford to lose 20 points, but if it were 120 or better I would probably trade 20 to look better. There are a lot of really fine people that score average or below and IQ scores are not an exact science anyway. Losing '20 points' would not necessarily make someone all that much dumber.

Just so you know the aproxiamte breakdown of score levels
Over 140 - Genius or near genius
120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
80 - 89 - Dullness
70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness

At the risk of making a frivolous boast;
My father was chairman of MENSA South Africa for 4 years and supervised the testing procedures used by them at that time. I'm quite aware of the 'approximate breakdown' of scores and the accuracy (or lack of accuracy) of the testing processes, past and present.
This is why I sometimes have a contemptuous viewpoint in many of these "IQ" threads that appear in Bonfire. There is a misconception amongst many regarding how these scores are gathered and calculated, the confidentiality of scores, and their actual significance relative to a world population.

I agree, also IQ scores dont actually mean anything on an individual level, mine is quite high (apparently) but I am a really lazy shite, with very little ambition so it could be 200 for al I care, I only ever do enough to get by

No way. I already gave too many of them away to the indiscretions of youth. And besides, I'm used to looking like this now.

Nope.

I just got into a discussion with a dear friend yesterday about appearances. I was discussing pictures and how they can falsely represent the "You" by giving a two dimensional physical concrete image. I was mentioning that in the past, I have a couple nice pictures, but the problem with those is if people linked those with "You," then it would change the expectation. Or if you use pictures that are less attractive, then they start thinking "Ugly Betty" and treat you more with pity. Looks are decieving. Pictures even more so - especially today with the magic of photoshop.

Intelligence... Thought.... Mental Challenge. That's what I would value more.

[sartre 0]

No, but only because I don't have 20 points to spare!!

By about the third drink I'm about 20 duller (but wouldn't know it) and I think I'm loads more attractive. You didn't say it had to be permanent.

[rehmwa 2]

Drinking cause one to lose IQ and makes "others" more attractive. Isn't that equivalent?

Ever since I was a little kid I've dreamt of being a genius.. unfortunately, it didn't happen to me. I really wish that I were smarter.. especially after yesterday.
