I had an IQ test 15 years apart and in the latter I score 25 point more than hte first one. I really don't believe in IQ tests - at best they measure the marketable, mechanical side of our mind, something suitable for the world wiew based on Isaac Newton. We don't live in that world any more.
The thing is, how can anyone put a value on my mind, that I am not even able to understand myself. My creativity keeps coming up with surprises, I find myself often doing what I would have never thought I'd be cabable of. I like to think that we are all equal and different. Meaning that if all the creative, emotional and logical wits we hide in the deepest regions were accounted for we'd all come up with about the same number. so if the score is more or less I just say this must be not because I am more or less intelligent, but because the focus of my intelligence has shifted to be more or less measurable.
That all sounds kind of ideologist, and I must admit that it probably is. But that's how I like it.Love
