pj8708 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Over the years, from reading hundreads to thousands of post, it has been my belief that LOC members are more intelligent than the average American. For fun, I ran across this test/survey, that was developed to measure the learning level of high school graduates and those without a diploma. It also has segments testing adults. To find out your knowledge level of basic science and technology, take the short quiz and see how you come out!!.

pj8708 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 So far it looks like everyones' doing very well. When you consider the broad range of ages and education, I still hold that our members have above average intelligence. Come on people.

lenore Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 My favorite saying is "think well before you speak because your words may plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of some other person" Great minds come from all walks of the political spectrum....
