your IQ cannot change, though how smart you are is another matter

Your IQ can drop. Its been proven to amongst people who parented children within the last 2 years. Their IQ dropped considerably. But I think theres really two ways of measuring it. Theres book-smart. Then theres Common Sense smart. I'm pretty much common sense smart, I was never really very book-smart. Now my friend Kris, SHE is book-smart. God awesome grades, does well in college in confusing courses.
But Jesus Christ, when it comes to everyday shit the girls a freaking dumbass. This one time, she was trying to wash clothes (keyword: TRYING) well, she washed them ok...then she stuck them in the dryer WITH the downey ball. FULL of fabric softener >_> By simply READING instructions, she would have known the downy ball uses LIQUID fabric softener and goes in the WASHER. >_> And she put cheese on a piece of bread once and stuck it inthe toaster. That was amusing. ;D
Then another time, she was playing Gran Turismo 3 with me and she careened into a wall and the dual shock activated. She flipped out, said it was possesed and crawled up on her bed. Me: >_>;;;
Another funny incident was when she was about 18 and I was 19. I was at her Dad's and she had sold her waterbed. Her Dad had filled it up for her originally, so she didnt know anything about getting the water out or anything. I'd had a water bed for YEARS, so I helped her out. She was trying to drain it (keyword again here is: TRYING) so we screwed in the waterhose to the thing on the bed. We took the hose and set it outside her window and she went out back. I told her to blow in it really hard, really fast, then to move real quick-like cause I was gonna help the water get pressure by pushing on the bed a bit.
So I do that and say "Anything yet?" She says "No, not yet." I told her to do it harder and I'll push some more. Nothing. So finally I go over to the window and I'm like "wtf is the problem?? Is the hose clogged?"
She goes "I dunno, but I'm sucking and nothing's happening."
I almost fell over laughing at her. I was like "OMG Kris!! When I said to blow into the damn hose, thats what I meant!!! What are you thinking???"
She goes "Oh, I thought you meant like giving a BLOW job where you you dont 'blow' anything."
LMFAO!!!!! I started laughing so hard I was in tears. I've hounded her about that for like 2 years XD

now THAT is funny XD
But what you're talking about isn't IQ, but rather how smart you are. How smart you are and how intelligent you are are two seperate thing. People with high IQ generally think differently than others- they often think outside of the box, so to speak, and are usually quick thinkers. Street smarts and book smarts are entirely different from IQ. A young child could have an IQ far superior to anyone else, and yet being a child he/she wouldn't have had any experience to develop those smarts at all, so really those two categories come down to how much experience in life you have. I know my IQ is high enough to certify me as Gifted, but there plenty of people who know more than me because they've had more experience. Now there is also common sense, often related to street smarts, and this is basically what you were demonstrating. This is hard to discuss, as people with low IQ's tend to lack common sense, and yet they say that as your IQ gets higher, the more you lack common sense as well. However, the bottom line is your IQ never changes- it can't. How smart you are can fluctuate as much as it wants, but your intelligence will always stay the same.

we have english class because in the rating system of diffical laug. english is a 5 the only other lang. that are 5s are latin japaness and chiness japaness and chinaness because they have like 3 sets of letters one set is sound letters for normal words 2nd set is sound letters for proper names 3rd set is each letter is a word like one letter for the word moon, or dog, or something at least thats what my english teacher tells me v.v Japanese has Hirigana, used for native japanese words, Katakana, used for foreign words, and Kanji, symbolism sort of but it mainly deals with ideas and nouns.

I don't think anyone should take an IQ test, because it will do one of two things. Either A it'll make you ignorant if you have a high one, and even if you don't become arrogant then you'll always have to think about it and compare it to other people.
Secondly you'll feel as if you're confined, like you'll never be able to progress further intellectually. You'll always have this kind of "bar" set up above your head which, in your mind, you won't be able to pass.
Now suppose neither of this happens to you, you must be pretty controlled. I would be hard pressed to find someone like this who doesn't have more than their share of demons.

*clings to her bar*
I swear I'm actually pretty smart, but I sound like a dingy blond. Ask Zophar >_> I talked to him on AIM voice chat because its easier than typing to him while playing PSO and typing in-game and in team chat there too >_>

I wouldn't worry about how smart or not you are. As long as you accomplish what you want then your IQ shouldn't have any bearing on how you feel.
