[QUOTE="ArcOfCorinth, post: 948026, member: 7656"] Ehh, it wasn't that close and we knew that. You're confusing the Bay of Pigs with the Missile Crisis, two separate things separated by a year. As said before, IQ tests are pointless and have no application in life at all. Example: Northern Students in the 1960s scored much better than Southern Students. Why? It certainly wasn't IQs. The north had a much better school system. At the time, IQ tests were used for racial reasonings - thousands and thousands of immigrants to the U.S. in the 1910-1930 era failed the tests due to lack of exposure to Western Culture and were labeled intellectually inferior. African-American children also tended to score lower than "white" children and this was used for white supremacy arguements. The 1960s example shocked supremacists when they discovered northern "black" students outscored southern "white" students on average. Therefore, your "IQ" pulls some from nature but it develops through nurture. This means your "IQ" is in a constant state of flux and therefore isn't really testable. D&D is a great way to nurture your "IQ." :cool: [/QUOTE]
