IQ Display

Permanent LED IQ Displayed on forehead

A small red LED screen should be installed on the forehead just after birth, permanently displaying the IQ of the wearer. This would be highly useful in business meetings, conversations with strangers, and chance in encounters, as an aid to how to pitch the conversation, thus reducing any time wasted in judging the aptitude of the person.

       Actually, the man with the world's highest IQ is a bouncer and lives in a one-room house on 6 grand a year. He likes it simple that way; allows him to be able to focus on what he wants to think about. Also, it's been demonstrated that being depressed can lower your IQ about 15 to 20 points.   

       So quite frankly, IQ has very little, if anything, to do with either success, social intelligence, or leadership.

       Welcome to Mensa, Oh wait is that a negative in front of your I.Q.   

       Rayford, that's incorrect: I live in a 2 BR apartment, I'm not a bouncer, and I make more than 6K a year.
