P1 nightclub - not for stupid people anymore

No.

Why not? It's not fair!

Sure, why not?

Not all good looking people/people who pay attention to their looks are stupid, and not all people who look "nerdy" are intelligent.

Edit: I should add that, when men say "attractive" they usually mean physical looks. For women it's different.

For the same reason that good looking men never have money and men with money are never good looking.

Erm, huh?

I don't follow that logic. Why do good looking men never have money? Why are men with money never good looking?

I would say that a lot of really good actors (both male and female) have both. But, that has nothing to do with intelligence.

Either that or your a jaw dropping stunner with legs that go to your ears, a body nicknamed viagra, and a face that causes more whiplash than a pile up in rush hour.

I wish...ok...hmm maybe not, I like being somewhat smart. Though it is really because I can't understand German, but I thought I would take a whack at the test.

I just looked at this silly test and completed it. Mindboggling why anybody would want to go to that party. You must also be really really stupid to fill out the form they give you at the end of the test when you make it into their so-called high IQ club. Filling out the form should count for minus points, subtract 100 from your score for doing so. They are probably laughing their heads off. The beauty of the scheme - an easy way to get people to give you their email address, date of birth, mobile number and name! The money they must be making just from gathering, using and selling that information. Bunch of idiots.

Slightly off topic though, has anybody ever wondered about the intelligence of people who compile these so-called intelligence-tests?

You think? They have no AGBs, no warnings, no privacy statements. They're bound by the Datenschutzgesetz and if pass even one bit of that info to anyone else they're liable for civil and criminal proceedings. The info they got from me is similar enough to be "plausible typos" but far enough that it could never be correlated with me, save for my name and cell phone number.


This test actually used some questions I've seen in legitimate tests. The IQ number they assign afterwards isn't legitimate.

For those who really really really want to go but don't think they can pass the test, I'm available to do Web conferences so that I can guide you to the right answers. The cost of this service is one drink at this party next week. PM or E-mail me with your E-Mail address.

woof.

er- perhaps to meet intelligent people who like going to glamorous nightclubs?


If that's why they wanted to do it why don't they just put a form online asking for that info- why bother with the test? Do you really think that P1 are expecting this to be a revenue stream compared to - say - the 10Euros profit they make on each drink. Mailing lists are cheap and plentiful.

Sounds like someone can't get into P1

Has never stopped the Deutsche Telekom from selling my telephone number to other companies.


BadDoggie filled out the form!


No!

Das war nicht schlecht! Dein IQ betraegt... usw. Mwhahaha.

I am sure the idea is to gather info. Do you really think people would want to use online IQ tests for meeting other intelligent people? Do you really think this is a way of testing intelligence?

No- of course not. It's a slightly tongue-in-cheek way of promoting a nightclub and recognizing that there is more to being attractive than being pretty, plus perhaps overcoming some of the concerns people have about the requirements to get in. All laudable efforts- wouldn't you agree?

Had you read their forms you'd have seen the information on what you have to do to prevent them from doing that. Your contract specifically stated that they would provide certain information about you to others unless you said they couldn't. You didn't.

With incorrect information to see what they do. Should they indeed sell any of my info to anyone, I'll know for a fact it was P1 and I'll get some money from them.

woof.

100 is supposed to be an average because it takes into account all the people with disabilites and learning disorders. Does anyone actually know someone with an IQ under 100? Chances are if you've graduated highschool your IQ is over 100, there are loads of people I wouldn't consider remotely intelligent who have an IQ over 100.

I'm guessing anyone on this site who couldn't pass that test did so solely because of the language barrier so essentially what it is, is a clever way to keep out the foreigners.

On the other hand the stats also include all those freaks with IQs over 140. Which is most of TT, apparently. I think most people know people with IQs lower than 100. In fact it'd be hard not to. If more than 50% of the pop. graduates high school then some of them have IQs less than 100.

The point about keeping foreigners out is a good one though.

You're right, by "know" I meant something else but explaining it further would probably get me in trouble so I'll leave it.

Chicken!

Just did the test and got a P1 IQ score of 123. I'm in! I think that's a special achievement considering I didn't even really bother trying work out the boring ones with the bike chains etc. and finished the whole thing in 200 secs. Top score is about 165 or so and that was probably only attained as a result of their better German. Bring on the P1 IQ night...

so I'm not even allowed to do the test:


in fact it was the first time I clicked on it.
oh well...

I did, I am slightly paranoid and read everything I sign. It still didn't stop them. I also didn't give the Landeseinwohneramt or the Bavarian equivalent to this permission to give my home address to anybody and still they must have, because the GEZ sends me letters and I get lots of mailorder catalogues from companies where I have never shopped. I didn't give anybody my new address after moving from Berlin.

When one does this incredibly challenging "IQ" test, you get a formula which looks like this. Apparently I have, like, this totally awesome brain, yeah. :


If anybody on this forum (whose German isn't good enough to do the test and who really wants go)wants to know which answers I crossed, pm me and I'll help explain the questions or answers. It says at the beginning of the test that you can try again the next day if you failed. I assume people fail due to their bad German. The questions themselves are not difficult, but with bad German you can forget it.

Some of the answers I still remember:
1. The missing letter was M
The letter you need for making two German words was S
The incorrect city was Den Haag
The next number in the string would be 30.
The guy has 6 bags.
The day in 4 days time which would be yesterday would be Saturday.
The lighter bag would weigh 38 kg.
You fit 2500 rectangles into that square
The pressure is the same all over (cans with strings hanging into water)
With the bicycle I wasn't sure, but I picked D
The funny pictures I can't explain and I don't remember the letters I picked. I am better at remembering numbers.

100 is really not that much

So how much is a pint in this gaff again?

Pint? Pint you say? Sure will ye go on owa that. Chance'd be a fine thing. Go in there and ask for a pint and ye'll get nothing but the hairy eyeball.

Think you're lucky to get a 33cl bottle of Paulaner for the hefty sum of €5.20 or something horrific like that!

Well how much is a pint of Hairy Eyeball then? What if I need some warm milk and a reassuring word? Are the toilets free? Do they sell handmade condoms? Will I get to see Esther Schwein? Would it be unwise to lower my defences against Darth Kahn? Are the staff trained in the Heimlich Maneuver? Can I bring a dog? Why does asparagus make my wee taste funny?

going off-topic for a change, does anyone think there might be more behind this:


found here.

2nd thought, it might also explain the dancing there -> Cool cat <---- really, have a look
3d thought, It could explain some of the funny pics in that test

to much thinking

too much P-1 i think

I'll see your Cats on Acid and raise you Troops on Acid.

Will this be a battle of the bands between the Gay Bikers On Acid and the Lesbian Dopeheads On Mopeds?

You left out the "e". Why brother, why?

Because sometimes you just don't want 'e'.

You might not want it but you need the e. e is good, yti, e is good.

Ys, but you ain't got no e so it can't be that good?

Hmm. Sasquatch and Bigfoot don't need e. Just some dancing feet, a little sas and big quatch.

So, after all the commotion, is anyone actually brave enough to hit this tonight? I've got footy till 10:30pm but am thinking about a visit at midnight or so. JOB will only come if they serve freshly squeezed orange juice. They do, don't they?!

For anyone attending please do tell what type of music they play. I reckon Mozart with a splash of Beethoven?

High scores. See you there in August!

Is this a case of "be there and be square"?

Hey MajorBummer!

Wouldn't the missing letter needed to make two German words be "B" (Laub=foliage) and (taub=deaf)?

At least that's what I answered and I managed to get an invitation.

Also, I answered "Lima" as the city that doesn't belong. All the other cities were in Eurasia. Was I wrong?

Just curious...

MunichMom

Ooops!

I think you're right about your answers MajorBummer. Just file my answers under the "didn't read the instructions correctly" category

Of course, the missing letter goes in the *middle*!

And of course it says the wrong *word* not city!

I guess my brain shuts down around 11 pm - maybe like Cinderella, I should leave the party before then

Thanks for the interesting info, MajorBummer!

I went to this club once when I first went to Munich about 3 years ago. The bouncer would not let me in becasue "I was not a member". When i asked how I become a member, he told me "You need to know a member first before becoming one." I then walked off, but as I was walking away, he then asked me where I came from, to which I replied "I'm from England". His response was then "Ah, you are English- well, come in, come in!"

I stayed half an hour and left. Sure the girls were cute, music not bad either, but it was pretty empty and not much atmosphere. The cloakroom girl even told me that it would get better, but I made an excuse that i had to leave and meet some friends. It was the first week of january so could explain why the place wasn't exactly rocking.

Moral of the story: "If you're English in Munich it seems it's your passport to great successes!"

yay! made it in too...unfortunately I didn't read majorbummer's post with the answers or else my score would definately have been higher! but oh well, enough to make it...maybe I'll do it again tomorrow then :) *g* so who will I be seeing there in august?

I made it without reading the answers and also by not being fluent in Deutsch.
