Shikamaru or Sakura

[spectre270]

<span style='font-family:Arial'><span style='color:blue'>Shikamaru duh, Sakura so far just seems to know a lot about the basics and she needs more techniques.</span></span>

<span style='colorurple'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='font-family:Times'>I think you need to Check your IQ quotes. An normal person IQ is from 5 to 20. 80 You must be a super computer hacker Corwin_Trueblood &amp; CmDr_RavEn.
Bill Gates IQ is about 30 to 45. Some Computer hackers are about 50. Get the Facts right please. Look it up yourself if you want. Ask anyone. If you have an IQ of 135 Why are you sitting at home watching anime and you should be in some Top class college or Business Making software or Machine products? </span></span></span>

I took an IQ test with a couple of friends of mine a while ago, (real one, not online). They&#39;re fun little mind games, but they don&#39;t really mean squat.

[RoMuLuu]

Well, Shikamaru has IQ over 200, but he has never studied like Sakura. I think that Sakura knows more about everything, but Shikamaru is still more &quot;intelligent&quot;.

[Kasumi]

If you want to find out your IQ, take this quiz- IQ Quiz

Oh and by the way.. straight from my psychology book:

160+ - Genius

146-160- Borderline Genius

126-145- Gifted

105-125- Above Average

100- Average IQ

71-85- Below average

55-70- Mild retardation (these people can still be educated though)

40-55- Moderate retardation- (you can still train these people on how to get dressed, brush hair, etc. Usually live with someone)

25-40- Severe Retardation- (These people are dependent on others for survival. Have a hard time eating &amp; controlling bowel movements).

Below 25- Profound Retardation- (These people are bedridden, severe brain injury.)

I just happened to be studying for midterms and these were one of the topics we covered

imo intelligence is in fact the ability to take information, analyze it, and come up with creative ways to utilise it. Afaik the SATs don&#39;t really test your intelligence. That is just a common misconception.

Learning in school while it is important isn&#39;t really a sign of intelligence. Think about it. What we learn in school is based on something that someone previously came up with, a new idea or concept that some person figured out based on information present to them. So while knowledge is important, all the knowledge in the world wouldn&#39;t help you if you couldn&#39;t analyze and utilise it.
Sakura = knowledge retainer. never seen her use it productively.
Shika = thinker, analyzes situations based on information or knowledge available to him.
By that token Shika would be smarter.

On a side note anyone else think Sakura is only good for standing around and crying out naruto-kun or sasuke-kun

[h1karum]

both the one in the hundreds and 0-80 apply tho i don&#39;t see how one of my friends got a 79 on the 0-80 OF course we&#39;re probably all talking about the online tests which all have different systems and stuff. A few have taken real and they should be the only ones talking.

[The Kyubi Naruto]

Here&#39;s a fact for u (thought not entirely sure )
Einsteins IQ was about 170&#33; The guy invented the Theory of Relativity for god&#39;s sake&#33; And u all know he wasnt very good with &quot;normal&quot; stuff.
But because shikamaru has an IQ ABOVE 200 and isn a savant he is absolutely SUPER ULTRA GIGA GENIOUS&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#3 3;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#3 3;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#3 3;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#3 3;
I think a person like that can&#39;t exist with the same kind of brain config as we have, remember that einstein had different kind of brains than we normal people.

An average person has about an IQ of 100 +-10
George W. Bush has lower than 90 and u all know who he is.
Intelligence isnt the meter on which u can determine ur succes in life.

I myself have done several test and i recommend the www.emode.com (it&#39;s not really that but it links u directly to the place u want to go )
U can also check ur chakra strength there&#33;
(That didn&#39;t give very formal impression about the place didn&#39;t it?)
My IQ has varied upon the test and given me aproximately an IQ of 130-145.
(im 16 and my first year in college. The Emode test gave me an IQ of 142 )

And a genious is above 150&#33;

I don&#39;t know wtf test that was with 5-20 is average was, but id like to know more about these tests. If anyone who isn&#39;t bored by this thread already (I&#39;m bored)
please tell me about these test.

And to the point: Shikamaru would OWN Sakura&#33; He would come up with a strategy and ultimately beat her&#33; Sakuras book knowledge is useless against Shikamaru ( I mean does it really help u to beat anyone if u know the the ninja classes or something as equally useless in fighting )

Very interesting to see people define intelligence in a way that would comfort their own insecurities and would project them to be atleast one of the smartest around .

[The Kyubi Naruto]

LOL&#33; it&#39;s very interesting to see someone comfort his insecurities by mocking someone else. But enough with that gloating&#33;
´Perhaps u are right. But I don&#39;t think i am any smarter tha other people. In real world there is always someone better. And how true that is in college&#33; Even with my &quot;high&quot; IQ my maths number is as low as 8 (in a scale of 4 to 10)
Though maybe that was because of adjusting difficulties&#33;
Maybe... maybe not...

[StAn|SeRv]

shikamau... no doubt at all. sakura is hardworking and she is smart but not smarter than shikamaru.

[forkshy]

shika made it into the second round against a tough opponent and sakura didn&#39;t against a weak opponent.

problem solved.. shika&#39;s smarter.

[The Kyubi Naruto]

That was propably the best argument yet&#33;
Way to go

[LionComboX]

ok here&#39;s my deal Sakura is smarter than shikamaru in my opinion. She knows from learning and going through school. Shikamaru possesses a high IQ yes, but so do a lot of retarded kids. A guy in my school is retarded and he&#39;s one of the smartest in my senior class. got like 1400 on SAT. This guy cant tie his own shoes but he&#39;s smart.

[The Kyubi Naruto]

Well... If you are taking a test in which I know the score grade I&#39;d say your intelligence is a bit (only a tiny fraction) below average.
But you can comfort yourself with the fact that the president of united states of america is MUCH dumber than you.

God I hate that W. Bush&#33;

Hmm that would be true if I projected myself to be a person with one of the highest IQ&#39;s.... to make the statement I made you don&#39;t have to be a genius gloating or a low IQ&#39;ed person sulking.... just an observation.

For your information though, I did some tests in a Mensa test book. It was meant for adults and I was... I think 15 at the time possibly... can&#39;t remember exactly. Anyway, I went on the BBC website to check the score I got and what it meant... and you know what I found out?

The scale that was used was the one where 148 and plus is the top 2% of the country, 100 is average. Below 70 meant you were a retard. Want to know my score?



<span style='color:#D6DBE0'>Around 40. </span>


Note my result is in spoiler colour above.

[Anbu-Aone]

<span style='colorurple'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='font-family:Times'>I&#39;ve taken the IQ test over to makes sure because the frist time I wan&#39;t really into the Test,but Now after reading what you said (Bit Below Average) I kind of got piss off. My boyfriend also have taken the test and he score 138. So that makes him smarter than me. This really sucks for me . Going to read more books and study harder than I ever have before. Some adults like myself don&#39;t like to read anymore. I&#39;m 23 and need to stay away from the animation and computer games for a little while.</span></span></span>

Shikamaru.. If Sakura were smarter she&#39;d have spent her spare time training like Sasuke and Naruto always did instead of grooming herself and swooning over Sasuke.. and fighting over him with Ino.. Not to mention Shikamaru is just cooler period.
