Opinions of the Great Unwashed

August 12 2011

Imagine you have a sexual encounter with a stranger with whom you have no language in common. Communication is strictly limited to touch, intonation and facial expression. This person has an IQ measured at either 90, 120 or 150. Would you be able to pick their IQ?With 1 being "not able to tell at all" and 10 being "able to pick with absolute certainty", please assign a value to the following statements: a) I could pick the difference between an IQ of 90 v 120 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)b) I could pick the difference between an IQ of 90 v 150 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)c) I could pick the difference between an IQ of 120 v 150 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)Please provide your answers as well as any comments you may care to make. My answers and comments are:a) 3b) 3c) 3I don't think that I'm particularly adept at reading intelligence without verbal communication, nor am I really certain what 90, 120 or 150 means in terms of "average people".If we get a decent response, I'll correlate the numbers and publish the results. Over to you...

    Why would you want to know the IQ of someone that you are having sex with???? Does it really matter when you are bonking their brains out? Pusscat (very tired and irritated by things this week) xxx

    Quoting 'woody_pusscat' Why would you want to know the IQ of someone that you are having sex with???? Does it really matter when you are bonking their brains out? Pusscat (very tired and irritated by things this week) xxx This grew out of another forum topic - "Intellect versus Arrogance". The question is less about wanting to know and more about being able to pick their level of intelligence. Personally, for a one-off encounter, I don't think it would matter at all either.

    Some may excel is mostthings.. but fail in others...... Do you need IQ when it comes to bonking?? Hell no.... It isnt about their brain but its all about their confidence and ability in the bedroom...

Pusscat (very tired and irritated by things this week) xxx exactly, but personally i reckon i come across way dumber than i am since i try not to take things too serious, like a good laugh and telling stupid jokes. but dig deeper and i can show my intellect, but would prefer to show my fun side

    In saying that... If you are looking for more than just a sexual encounter.... IQ is very important....

    Quoting 'stalky' Errrmm. I don't know. Hey... does anyone want a shag? I figured I'd get a score from you for sure! After all, by the sounds of it, you don't even know the names of plenty of the people you shag, let alone whether you share a language with them...

    I had a relationship with a totally deaf/mute guy for a couple of months? How do you tell their IQ? I couldn't care less about IQ...as long as they are sexy and a good root...their IQ can be on the lower end or top end of the scale....I can assure you...if they are good....my vocals would be at the top end! xFunlovingx

    Quoting 'fionabee' Not gonna have sex with a stranger but........ l a...8 b...10 c...5l You're clearly more intuitive than I am then. Would you expect to be using clues like the coarseness of his hands, or whether he seemed likely to do manual labour? Do you think it would be easier for a woman to pick those things up from a man than vice versa? I hadn't considered that... though they're by no means clear indicators.

I know the average IQ and I also know the IQ of someone who is mentally challenged. The difference between 90 and 150 being too great. Check out thier eyes and the way they look at thier surroundings. There is a certain sparkle in the eyes of an intelligent person that is missing in that of someone who is impaired. The way they hold their head, the way they react to different stimulii including thier surroundings all gets to paint a picture. Even their general demeanor is telling. The way they walk, sit, check out a room. Between 120 and 150 may take a lot longer and hence the score of five. It is a 50/50 guess. Manual labour has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence. What a person does for a living is absolutely no indicator at all.

You may be stretching the criteria of using only "touch, intonation and facial expression", but probably not by much. I absolutely agree that one's work is no indication of intelligence - one of the most intelligent people I ever met was a neighbouring farmer in Canada who had only gone to about year 7 at school. He was a mechanical genius and could recite dozens of pages of his favourite poetry. I didn't intend that to be derogatory, just wondering whether it may subconsciously influence some people's scoring.

    Coarse hands? I don't think so Snow but I have heard there is a correlation between ball size & intelligence. Lol. I have a brilliant idea Snow. Let's go to a swingers club & you can see for yourself whether you can deduct intelligence through physical communication ;-)

    I don’t know man. The only reason Kim Kardashian’s ‘famous’ is for being one of Paris Hilton’s besties a.k.a fake tits and genuine asshole. Lesson? Beautiful people are better than you and more deserving of airtime. The only reason Lady Gaga is like so hot right now is because she’s ripped off Bowie’s look and Madonna’s sound. The lesson? Plagiarism is perfectly ok if purely for the sake of shock value that will generate you sales and make you money. Who gives a fuck about originality; we’re talking about sales here! I don’t have any of that meretricious crap. What I got is James Dean’s looks, Gene Simmons’ tongue and a John Wilmot attitude and if that ain’t good enough, well, fuck you very much! Nobody, that ain't nobody calls me unwashed. I use Macadamia Cream Oil and an exfoliating gel scrub goddamn it!

    ...but only because I appreciate a good stir when I see it. | Depending on which one of a number of those IQ tests that may be used to arrive at a an arguable numeric assessment, let's assume that 100 is average intelligence relevant to age...the most common of denominators and perhaps the most widely accepted. Throw in the fact that a lot of those test use "conceptualization of abstracts" as a measure of intelligence and more often than not where the higher scores are achieved...the question of what is really being measured again may throw off the number at either end of the scale. | That said...a 90 as a raw score would not indicate any sort of real mental or neuro-motor incapacity, those folks could be any of us here. Equally, a high score would not automatically make anyone more physically responsive or sensual...the things noted as the premise I believe here, unless the may more educated sounds like muffled noise into the pillow that I might vaguely confuse as Latin. Of course hopefully by then I am singing an Italian opera in dialectal Mars-speak. | Short form (I avoid that like the plague) is I don't think you could or would discern anything that was measured by any of those tests in the scenario noted above. Fact is...in most cases staying as close to normal regardless of that number is probably where the fun really begins...so call it 2-2-2 or whatever you please, nothing is always a little bit of something. The only exception might be when you can be abnormally normal in the right company... | ...but a gentleman never tells.

    "Acting" dumb when a male tries to impress you with all these big words and think they are the ants pants. That way they stop messaging me and leave me totally alone! Bliss! xFunlovingx

    Of the girls I've known , some would have a low IQ but display a sexual ability far superior to some of the smarter ones.So my answer to this is, its not the lack of brains that count but more the knowhow and attraction. Doesnt matter how smart you are, you're either a dud root or your not. Give me a fun loving girl with a sense of adventure anyday.. if they light my fire, and it feels good, then thats good enough for me, Mr JJ

He has to have some level of intelligence to bed me...but in no way does he need to be an Einstein! To me humour is more important anyway as is their eye contact! I love to laugh! xFunlovingx

Double your IQ or no money back...Your swingers club idea has some merit... in so many ways! The only problem would be in remembering what I'm there for... Art vs. Science! What's your scoring for the poll though?

I use Macadamia Cream Oil and an exfoliating gel scrub goddamn it! You know, Kim Kardashian comes up in your posts with slightly disturbing regularity. I'm thinking that you've got a pretty persistent chubby for her... and maybe even for the whole set she plays with. Just say it out loud a few times - "My name is Nick and I'm addicted to trashmags". You need to own it if you ever hope to beat it. You're not unwashed - far from it. You wash and wash and yet... it... won't... come... off...Where's your scoring for the poll?

I think I'd have a hard time guessing the IQ of people I know, let alone those I don't.

Thanks all! a) 2 b) 5 c) 2 There are people with high IQs that are pretty socailly inept, and 90 isn't exactly retarded, so I think there would be very few clues to someones IQ without conversation. But I think i just may be able to pick betwwn 90 an 150? maybe... xxx Cherry
