so how about an average bass player's IQ ???
sorry if there has been a thread like this the search function doesn't allow me to search "IQ" as its shorter than three letters.

test your IQ here www.iqtest.com and post your result!

mine turned out to be 123, a little above average

Online IQ tests are a joke and are usually accompanied by inflated scores. Not knocking your intelligence or anyone else that takes the test, just saying the number you recieved at the end has absolutely no relation to your real IQ number.

Well, if your IQ was a bit higher you might have searched for Intelligence Quotient.

Mine said 136. I get that on all of them, but it's probably inflated by at least 10 points. These questions don't even necessarily have one answer, that's what's so dumb about these things. Here are some examples of questions I had:

The following words are the opposites of words that begin with the letter R: unreal, street, grasp, unwind, wrong.

What is the actual opposite of street? It seems pretty debatable if you ask me. Road? River? Parking space? It boggles the mind.

The number 64 is the next logical number in the following sequence of numbers: 2, 6, 14, 30...

The way I thought about this was 2, 2+4=6, 6+8=14, 14+16=30, and 30+32=62 (edited for failure of grade 1, essentially my bro and I had the same answer) (adding 4 to the initial number and doubling it each time).

My brother saw it this way: 2, 2 x 2 +2 =6, 6 x 2+2=14, 14x2+2= 30, 30 x 2+2= 62

They're just after money anyways.

Well, bad news is, you suck at math.
Good news is, you did figure out the pattern.

135 on a standardized test.

On the ever-objective Internet, I got 165.

Yeah that's what I get for doing it in my head.

I'm surprised I didn't catch it when I typed it out.

Either you're real real real intelligent so you can approximate your true IQ score or... your're way way way off.
