          Dunno, haven’t measured it since I found out a couple decades ago that it’s not so much a useful tool for assessing intelligence as something invented by and for insecure people with very specialised knowledge to use as a combination status symbol and weapon 🤷

            Dunno, haven’t measured it since

            So what was it when you did lol?

            I got tested as a child, so no idea, but I’d guess the teachers were insecure and used specialised knowledge as a status symbol and weapon, LOL

            Why are you continuing to insult me by saying I’m stupider than you? Sounds pretty weak and insecure to me!

              In many cases, yeah. I’m generally very pro-teacher, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any bad teachers out there stubbornly clinging to debunked systems 🤷

              Why are you continuing to insult me by saying I’m stupider than you?

              Because you keep asking for clarification as if I wasn’t being crystal clear the first time. I’m just having fun humouring you while also mocking you 🤷

              Sounds pretty weak and insecure to me!

              Your constant hounding me about whatever I could possibly mean by calling you neither smart nor clever? Yep, sure does.

                Mate, your first comment to me was an insult.

                So I’ll end it with the same.

                  An insult AND an explanation of why the insult was accurate.

                  In contrast, your first comment to me was “fuck off poor”

                  Look, I found a picture of you!

                    You’re not that bright, are you?

                    Otherwise you might have known that repeating something that is blindingly obvious to everyone and also completely besides the point is not an effective counter-argument.

                    Lol, wealth and income are different things. Besides the point of what? They’re not the same, cretin.

                    It wasn’t a counter argument, you fucking tool.

                    But keep doubling down, it’s like inception with an idiot.
