Just now there is an interesting debate going on about the IQ:

High IQ really just means the brain of that person grew much greater than his or her years. The Tao's of the world are few and far between, that is to say super high IQ followed by real world inventiveness.
I once went to a Mensa party and found them telling each other 'my Phd this and my Phd that' and some guy making nitroglycerin, putting it in pills with BB's and throwing them against rocks and clapping hands when it goes boom.......
You know, real worth while stuff......
