Lizzie, I can guarantee you their hiring standards will losen once the stock crashes so hard that nobody has options worth a damn anymore. Google is going down. This is the most overvalued pig in the market, and it's time to end it right here and now. I love how you guys spent the last 20 messages talking about SAT scores instead of google.. it's almost like if you avoided mentioning it you could stop the pain of your massive losses. LOL.

I think GOOG is done. You should be looking at weak rallies to short into. As I said before when every wall street analyst turns bullish on a stock then it usually goes the other way. I don't care how many Phds from MIT they have on board. Anindo

I think that a "real IQ" of 150 is quite high, while the results on those junky Mensa membership tests, multiple-choice standardized tests, etc., inflate IQ's a lot. I just looked it up, and an IQ of over 150 occurs less than 4 in 10,000, and if I recall correctly, an IQ of 160 or above is supposed to occur in less than 1 person in 50,000, which would seem to imply that there are only about 2500 such adults in the US. So I doubt that everyone you know actually has an IQ of 160. The problem with measuring higher IQ's is that it really does matter if the test is written by someone a lot less intelligent than the person being tested. There were some interesting questions on the tests at www.highiqsociety.org. In particular, (when I looked at this site a year or so ago) the hardest tests had some questions on it that I have no idea how to get started on, although I did answer a couple of the easier ones and I think that I saw how to get started on most of the rest of them.
