Moron's - How do you know if you're one?

How can you tell if you're a moron? Someone can call you a moron, but does that
really qualify you to be a moron? What type of education does one need to have in
order become a bona fide moron?

Let's say that it's proven that you are a moron, what are the perks? Can you apply for
government grants, entitlements, or cut in line at the movies, always get to use the 12
items or less lane at the supermarket no matter how many items you have?

Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Damned owl is causing trouble again.

You need to have a measured IQ between - what is it? - 50 and 69? And 'tis a discarded classification anyway.


How bright is the average owl? Whooooooo?

The Bunny is absolutely right . What used to be called a moron was a person with an IQ of 50-69. The term has been replaced by "mental retardation!

IQ Classifications

And where do YOU fall in the theoretical normal distribution! Laughing

Borderline, or mild, is it in this case?

The DSM IV would consider it mild mental retardation!

I don't know my IQ. Does that make me a moron?

One thing that I find very interesting. The new classifications use more descriptive, more emotionally neutral language. (politically correct?)

edgarblythe-Why not? How are you supposed to become involved in these earth shattering type interactions if you don't? My goodness, you have been left out of one of the most important areas of life!

If I were you I would yell at my parents, and my teachers, for not giving me this important piece of information! Laughing

Geez, looking at that, I guess it would be an improvement for me to be called a 'moron' , at least IQ wise... :-) :-) :-)

I believe the correct term is "mentally challenged".

See there? I am not a maroon!

I'm not slow; I'm special. That's why I get to ride the short bus, the bus to New Zealand, the bus for future presidents.

(Actually, I did go to a special education school. I mean, it wasn't just a special education school, it was mainly a regular school -- but in my town you couldn't always tell the difference.)

The big moron and the little moron were standing on a ledge. The big moron fell off. Why didn't the little moron?

Because he was a little more on.
