"I was quite happy until..."

We had an optional IQ test in Uni on Monday and got our scores back today. I got 151, which is in the 144-160 "gifted" range, and apparently I have strong computational skills, which is just as well doing physics!

Anyways, I brought my little piece of paper home to the parents quite happy with myself and what was their reply?

It was "Gifted? Is that all?"

And that was that. Some parents really just couldn't care less, namely mine.

Hmmm... maybe it was 151 then. Dunno.

151? jebus, I'm a lowly 125 or so I think :(

I have a Mensa cert with 147 I got when I was 16. This was a Uni based thingy to see if we were suited to our courses and such.

Random IQ numbers there. 141 or above is classified "genius".

And no offence, Lindgren, but I doubt you're THAT clever. :-)

But why? What has my illness got to do with my IQ?

Just remind them, and then bring up the test score again.

Actually, I am ill. Although, I don't see how that would make a difference.

Tell them that you are terminally ill.
