    That's it, I am getting thicker. From a peak of 156 I had reduced to 146. Thats 10 points! I will be an absolute moron by the time I am 50! Mrs wife got 126 which I said "Not too bad a score my dear!" then ducked as a shoe came hurtling my way. Really, I know it was patronising, but isn't she clever for recognizing it. I think I will not do this any more, it could get depressing :)

    146 still isn't too bad (2 points higher than me ;) ) It is depressing to lose 10 points of course, but I know what to do about that Just go to a shopping mall and watch the people, you will feel superior again in a matter of minutes! :)

      I've only done it once, in my teens when it was 142, proving that I knew everything. It's probably in single digits now. :((

        Thanks for that tip. I get a similar feeling when I speak to anyone in a call centre. (Actually, an honourable mention for a lad at O2 Mobile broadband today who took my details and said rather than waste my time he would call me back...which he did and had solved my problem, emailed me the details and said to give him 10 mins to push it through the system. But this is an exception.)

          Are there any real and legitimate free IQ tests out there? I am curious to know what my IQ is.

                Not really. The 'best' free tests have a +-15point error range. As of a few years ago there was a site selling stuff of some sort playing off of peoples intelligence that consistently gave people 15 or 20 points higher than anywhere elses tests.

                                  I don't trust them, between different tests I've had 96 and 14x. Admittedly, the 96 was on a BBC test the nation type IQ test but in my defence there was much drinking that night.

                                        Your quite right. From gathered data, the only thing we can conclude is that heavy drinking kills your IQ, but not your brain cells since there's no empirical data in this thread to support such a claim.

                                          No, there is not, booze killing brain cells is a fallacy.

                                          That's not entirely true, Dave.   Ethanol is known to attack only the weakest, slowest brain cells, much like cheetahs hunting wildebeasts.   Similarly, this culling tends to strengthen the whole organ.
