Well, according to Mr. Church, one thing that demonstrates his genius is not posting in this thread.
Wait a second...

Y'see, TJ, there's such a thing as the normal distribution. The bell curve. Ol' Gaussie.
This forum has roundabout 3,750 users. That's big enough to assume the normal distribution applies.
So, pick a measure of intelligence. IQ is rubbish, don't pick that one.
In fact, forget real measures of intelligence and let's just go with a nebulous concept of intelligence. There's going to be a midpoint, a mean - the average intelligence of the forums. This will hold true whatever measure of intelligence you pick; be it IQ, reverse digit span, basic oral hygeine...
Now, central limit theorem tells us that 95% of the forum's users will be within 1.96 standard deviations from the mean. Doesn't matter how big the standard deviation is. Also, wash your mind out - there's nothing dirty about a standard deviation.
It's generally agreed by people with jobs and awards and things that 1.96 standard deviations is the distance you got to be from the mean to be classed as "significantly different" therefrom.
It therefore follows that 2.5% of users are significantly stupider than average, and 2.5% are significantly smarter.
In other words, a randomly-selected user has a 1 in 40 chance of being smarter than the average kiwi.
Maybe Null will tell us how many users have posted in this thread, maybe he won't. Anyway, the empirical odds are that maybe 1 or 2 are likely to be smarter than average. Obviously the more unique users have posted here, the more likely it is we'll catch a brainbox.
Of course there are then possible confounding factors. Maybe this thread somehow attracts more intelligent posters than the average forum user. Or slower-witted ones.
Anyway, we come to the conclusion:
Straight off the bat, TJ, there's 40-1 odds against you being smarter-than-average. That's just bald statistics, grinning at you. The onus is therefore on you to prove how smart you are.
I'm still waiting on that evidence.

That means....
A genius would post in this thread but then say they don't post in this thread.
I don't post in this thread.

By your own admission, you are a popular lolcow. You were popular before you were ever actually here. So you've inadvertently justified the existence of your thread.
QE-fucking-D.

@Cowlick please take this online test and post the results

You have an hour to prove your mettle. Or if you wish to prove your superiority, live stream you taking the test so none of us can claim shenanigans when you inevitably prove you are Mensa worthy.

You know, Teej, less people would be confused by what you've said if you could just learn to write coherently.

I second that emotion. I used to teach writing to English as a Foreign Language students, and I still have trouble deciphering some of Mr. Church's posts.

TJ, did you ever get the opportunity to call Dial-A-Song when that was still around? I've stuck with them as they were making Children's albums, they've actually found a really good schedule to create a roughly equal amount of adult and children's albums and live shows, it's kind of amazing how they found the time and dedication to essentially do twice the work as a band.

Our minds together will make the world beautiful...or destroy it. Depends if I've been drinking or not.

I saw them live and they did a few songs from their children's albums. "Alphabet Lost and Found" is genuinely one of my favorite TMBG songs.
(Also, I used to call Dial-A-Song at least once a week)
Let's change tracks here (pun TOTALLY intended). Mr. Church, in a hypothetical world (this world happens to be the one where gumdrops rain from the sky and we all ride unicorns to our jobs of "petting kittens all day," but never mind that) in which you meet a woman... do you value her intelligence above her looks, or is it the other way around?
