well folks, my wife is a psychologist and is required to administer the IQ test among many other tests. When she was getting her PhD I was the lucky guy elected to take ALL of these tests a bunch of times. Matter of fact the IQ test was given to me 8 times by my wife, then twice by a freind of hers who was in the same graduating class, then once by the department chairman to mitigate the descrepancies. By MsHilarious's information, I am a qualified accountant, an engineer and a scientist, depending upon which score I decided to use. The variation was between xxx and yyy... the high score being the last and the one done by the Psych department chairman.
So! am I smarter than everybody? haha... Nope. The fact is, I got better at taking the test, and my wife got better at administering the test. There is subjectivity involved throughout. Accurate time keeping plays a role. If you've taken certain courses at a college level, you will do much better. If you have a knack for spacial stuff... like puzzels, you can score points and make up for... let's say a lack of math skills. Let's face it... some days you're all smarter than you were on another given day. Not really, but you may be more alert... or maybe you ate bacon, which we all know makes a person's brain grow... it was then that I had the tube implanted so I would sound warmer whilst reciting math-based poetry... but alas... what exactly IS a tube anyway?
Since the folks here know way more than I do on the subject of recording, and I come here to learn about recording, who cares if I can decipher DNA using a slide rule?
I think Ms Hilarious point may have been that the IQ test provides a relative measure of intelligence from which we can glean some idea of capability. She felt underwhelmed by her present capability as an audio engineer, even tho she knows tons of other "stuff".
Then again, maybe not
