I would certainly not say that imagination and intelligence are exclusive traits, but certainly imagination is not a trait that comes across easily on IQ tests. What weighting do you give to imagination in your evaluations?

That is ridiculous- people can vary in their ability on intelligence tests by 30-40 points depending on when in their lives they take them, their level of fatigue and all sorts of other factors. The idea that you could pinpoint a class of people with a range of IQ's within 10 points is ludicrous. And to further think that these people have a "very unique balance of mind" is even sillier. How have you "found" this? Have you tested enough people to make a significant sample population and then gotten to know them in order to find out is they had a "balance of mind" that you found "very unique". And is "Very Unique" like most unique? I.E REDUNDANT? Or did you merely ask people what their IQ's are? In which case I suggest your findings are unreliable since almost everyone adds a few points to their IQ when telling someone else- unless they had papers which they presented to you (in which case they are probably unbalanced)? I can't believe no one else called you on this. And to think, some people think I am an elitist.

Is your point to deliver the (truly remarkable if true) information that you have studied the official IQ scores and lady-stimulation scores of a sufficient number of men to be able to conclude with the data gathered that the range of IQ from 165 to 175 represents a 'very' unique 'balance' of the mind that is 'stimulating' to a lady? Or was it simply to say, in a fancy way, that most women prefer a good brain to highly developed musculature? I don't understand why you bothered to post that. It would seem to be a case of simultaneously elucidating the obvious and obfuscating it.

No wonder ladies don't like me. My IQ is only 90, but I'm an over-achiever. My current intellectual challenge is learning to screw. Now let's see, is it right to tight, or right makes might, or might makes tight? Screwing is intellectually exhausting work. TTFN, CTC

Hmmmmm.... "That's why I've found, between 165 and 175 their is a very unique balance of the mind, that is very stimulating to a lady. Most of the females I know, would much prefer an intelligent man over what some would call a "hunk of a man". Susie" Only 0.13% of the population IQ is between 145-160. The percentage drops significantly when sifting for those with IQ's in the range between 165 and 170, somewhere on the order of 1 in 32,000. Its doubtful by normal interaction or even intentional pursuit that you'd encounter more than one person with whom you've had intimate conversation let alone draw a profile for common behavior. For example in the city of Seattle Washington, with a population of 3,367,800 there are probably only about 106 people with an IQ over 165. Given that half are probably women, 166/2= 83, and that they are probably distributed over a normal range of age from 1 to 80 leaves only 10 men who are within 5 years younger or older to talk with. Finding more than one might be an extreme challenge given the percentage of those who've been identified and know their gifts. Even if you were a member of Prometheus, an IQ group with a low cutoff of 164, it might prove difficult as there are only about 100 members worldwide.
