   I love when someone mentions their IQ, it means I don't have to talk to them anymore

     @sunumbral I did find out mine because I got an IQ test as part of testing into a learning disabilities program for an extreme case of ADHD; it was in a range where I could throw it around if I actually believed it meant anything, but it doesn't. What the IQ test is actually doing is measuring privilege, which I have in all the relevant categories the IQ test tests for, and its origins are extremely literally in eugenics

     @cwebber They wouldn't tell me mine, and then I never bothered to ask later. I have no idea why it was such a secret.

     @cwebber yes mentioning IQ seems to function as the new calling women females as a good marker
