If I recall my Junior year Psychology class, this is called “chunking”, where the mind groups and retains information in bits of four or five.

I look at it this way...lying about your IQ is like lying about your age.
People have it bass-ackwards: People say they're younger than they really are, but they should be saying they're older than they really are. Then, they get compliments about how good they look...you'll never get that if you're trying to pass yourself off as younger than you really are.
I tell people I'm dumber than a box o' rocks.

I have 5 things to say about this:
1) It’s stupid
2) It’s lame
3) The study was a waste of time
4) The study underestimates the human capacity to retain facts
5) .......um .... hmmmm.....ah, never mind.

Many consider him the most "intelligent" person of the 20th Century. In reponse to this Einstein retorted that "imagination is much more important than intelligence."That sort of validates my observation over time that fans of Science Fiction tend to have above average IQs.
My ex was extremely clever, but dumb as a box of hammers. But she was a neat OC and she thought Scifi is a total waste of time.

Here’s a thought. Until Jimi Hendrix Experience and Creem emerged in or about 1966, rock bands had a minimum of four members, and almost always two guitar players, or a guitar player and a keyboard player. Then the three man bands came, and now two man bands (White Stripes, the Black Keys.) What does it say about the listeners?
Who can remember the names of the six original Rolling Stones? Who was the 7th man in the early lineup?

The Stones were never as good after Brian Jones died.

90% of this game is half mental I think he said, "90% of the game is mental. The other half is physical."

I was told that you lose half of your mind with each pregnancy. I have four children and I couldn’t always disagree if that helps.

Somebody’s been reading the memory game in “Kim,” and decided to put it to the test.

Total nonsense, coming from Pop Psychology magazine. The ability to remember nonsense words or random numbers has no correlation at all with intelligence.
“cat” “thermometer” “cloud” “light switch”. 4 unrelated words. Can you remember them? If so, or if not, it has no connection with your intelligence.
To: OCCASparky
Sex, sex, beer, and sex. Yep. Four things.
Since this was done at the University of Oregon, you have to replace one of the 'sex's with 'pot' to have an accurate account of this research's findings...
