    That's nice.  I am fine with what I have .  IQ  does't change the quality of life.  CSQ is way more important these days.  That stands for COMMON SENSE QUOTENT and we KNOW that is sorely lacking in these here United States.

    My IQ is 126.  That is NO genius. But it is weighty enough for me.  

    It has gotten me through till now.  But what has caused me to survive is plain common sense.  I don't get how people can have a very high IQ and still be so GODDA____ed STUPID?   Who cares if you have a brain when that brain is scared and votes for TRUMP?    

    People who seem to have their academic grades in place yet cannot discern STILL that we have a MANIAC in Power and vote for him to stay in power?  WHAT KIND OF MIND DOES THAT?

    Mine was measured at 126 when I was in my 20's Sharon. I have read that IQ can increase over time by some marginal amount. Thank you for your reply. :)
