Are disruptive anti-religious protestors weapons of mass destruction?

Holy crapatoli it doesn’t seem like Christmas Eve. My mom and I bought a tiny fake plastic tree and stuck our presents under it, but that’s about all we’ve done as far as decorating.

Thank the stars 2011 is almost over. The last few days of the year are always “let’s review stuff that happened during the year” days, so I’d better get moving on that. ALSO, we’re moving next week, so that’ll be exciting. And annoying. I am SO. SICK. OF. MOVING.

Crap on tap (ha, that rhymes) for the rest of the year:

  • the big ol’ music review
  • starting a stats blog (more to come on this tomorrow)
  • allocation of new data for said stats blog
  • figuring out what the heck a “pre major” is and whether I can even get accepted into the U of A as a transfer student
  • figuring out why my magically increasing cash stash in my Canadian bank account is magically increasing
  • figuring out the job situation
  • BDSM! Haha, only kidding. Just making sure you’re paying attention.
  • moving to Tucson proper
  • review of how I totally failed at my New Year’s Resolutions this year
  • statistics on my walking mileage

Plus bunches more, I just can’t think of them right now.

Oh, and this. It was fun and the results are super colorful. This shows my results (right) and the average for females from the United States who are 19+ years of age. Click for enlargement (teehee).

Vroom.

At first I was just friendly to the Environment. But now we’re dating!

I’m a firm believer that IQ scores show nothing but a person’s ability to see which colored square is out of place or what word the letters BIBRAT spell when they’re unscrambled. Nevertheless, I wanted to see the discrepancies between many of the scores of online IQ tests.

So what did I do, me being bored and me being me?
I took 10 random online IQ tests in the span of two hours or so (some were freaking long!). Needless to say, the results were less than consistent.

I shall present the results here:
N=10

Individual scores:
146
145
141
136
116
141
169
152
174
156

Lowest: 116
Highest: 174

Average: 147.6

Standard deviation: 16.6

Conclusion: according to these results, there is a 58-point range in which my IQ lies. That’s a pretty big range. However, there is a nice little range around the mid-140s where several scores seem to coagulate.

Actual conclusion: ah, who knows? It just proves that it depends on which online IQ test you take whether or not you get a higher or lower score. Plus, you have to actually trust online IQ tests, which I don’t. Ha!
