- How? because you say it does? I know people who say that I will go to
- hell for not going to church, too. Should I believe them?

- I didn't save it, but there was a post in which you said that about 1
- person in 2000 gets higher than 160 pts. You said that you bust most
- tests at over 170, and your score as a child was 150+. Sounds like
- bragging to me. As you were presumably not included in the study you
- mentioned, it is not relevant, unless you meant to imply that your
- opinion is more valid than others.

- >studies. Why should I brag with my IQ?
-
- Yes, it might. that's why I am interested in seeing it. At any rate,
- somebody else has posted info regarding such studies, so the point is
- moot.
