Well Scott, that depends on how you define the word "intelligence". Intelli-
gence can be defined (and measured) in several areas (logical, musical, 
creative...) If you consider Mensans as people doing well in the logical/-
mathematical area, you are on the right track. Many tests prove this ability, 
especially the ones which does not require any specific skills.

I am fairly sure I have an intelligence level high enough to get myself Mensa  
and possibly other group mamberships.  Does anyone know what kind of test I     have to have taken in order to qualify?  If a specific test is required, where
can I take one?  Just curious, because I'd like to get involved.

Okay...I undestand what you mean now.  I apparently mis-read your original
post and got confused.  I remember someone asking you if you want a 
newsgroup like alt.everything or something...I didn't realize that you
were referring to rec.org.mensa being such a group.
   That is something that I agree with you on.  This format is fine for
a MENSA newsgroup.  As someone posted ealier, it's like the Hospitality
Suite at an RG, with an occasional seminar or two.  Lots of conversation,
and informative posting to go with it.

I wonder how intelligent, on average, the designers of intelligence
tests are.  Or, for that matter, if they aren't very intelligent, but
have designed tests that make it seem that they are.  And old question,
but I thought I'd just offer it in light of this thread.

BTW, I would say "F", because it's the only letter that does not
appear in the word, "Havana".

How is this supposed to prove anything about the validity of astrology?
If you are getting other information from the person then there is no
way to determine the source of any statements you make (astrology of
personal observation). If astrology had *any* validity you could produce
useful information based *only* on a persons birth time.

While what you propose may be interesting to watch, its basically useless
as far as proving anything.

You're wrong.

I shared this gem with a number of friends and family members, and the

and you're just jealous because you didn't think of it first :)

Nah, Mike, it can't be human. It's an automaton with a few Mbytes

usually cache resident and we haven't seen it for <gasp> almost 
a month. (Or maybe it's been posted and no one's quoted this as

Or maybe it's time for the co-processors to take over.. Nepa & Park

we see the "you're just a bunch of dysfunctional proteins".. can't be

Same essays. Same words. Gak. Even the same positions. The only upgrade

No - there is Mega & c. I figure I couldn't make it into.
But, as with Aleister Crowley - a small occult lesson about having as much
space as you take. I allow myself this freedom because I *do* allow for
others. the closer they get, the nicer I am.

Precious? But nobody reflected my preciousness to me ever. Perhaps I am
making up for it.

Hmm. Says, let's demonstrate compassion, balance and the feminine - so
how about you Ian, who are you? "creaky old planet" - good.

This isn't the place to do it, but my life path indicates that I must
put my compulsive self-disclosiveness to positive use, and both state
and solve my psychoemotional problems in the public eye. I am beginning
to do that. I estimated I absorbed 8 years of social learning in two weeks'
exposure to the usenet beginning 5 September, resulting in a quantum jump
in self-realization and self-acceptance.
