If you’re an ultra-smart singleton and good at taking tests, a new website could be the answer.
The social networking site directed towards highly intelligent people with a knack for deciphering complex visual patterns, which started in Denmark, has now expanded to Canada and the United States.
Potential candidates have to pass an online test to prove they have an IQ of 115 or higher. The score places them in the top 15 percent of the population for intelligence, said Copenhagen-based Trine Jensen, the founder of IntelligentPeople.com.
I have to wonder if this was inspired by Beauty and the Geek?
IQ is highly overrated. There’s not even any across the board basis that the test is accurate; and it can’t measure potential. This seems like a joke. I wonder how many people take it seriously. I am a little curious about what sorts of people apply. I used to skip all my honors classes in high school, because the folks in said classes were so dull. I wonder if they’re all on there. Now that would be funny.
