Is it true that travelling long hours especially by bus decreases your iq?

This just happened to me yesterday.   I was on an airport shuttle bus and the people kept piling on eventhough another would be along in a very few minutes.  The driver wouldn't go until everyone was behind the line and we were all mashed in as it was.  Mob psychology, I guess.

Yes, most likely. Of course, the chances are even better if the father is also not dumb ;)\nRecent studies have shown that genes play is the major factor determining a person's IQ. Sadly, nurture has little effect on it. If a child is taken from not-so-smart parents and raised in a very intellectual environment among books, taken to museums, he/she will not become much smarter. So in general, smart parents=smart kids.

My IQ is 148.  Yes, I am not in the "normal" range, but I am still a "normal" human.  IQ is not how smart you are, IQ is your ability to learn new things, and then retain them.  For instance, I was putting brake fluid in the power steering fluid!  As for street smarts....forget it.  I am totally lost.  Different people are smarter in different areas.  I wouldn't worry too much about IQ.  It's just a number.

Most of the time the body can do most anything you want it to. The problem is going to be the brain. You have to know how to do a "overload dump" so you don't over heat and go nuts.\n\nThen again, I could be wrong. I don't know your body, but 6 hrs sleep, and learning the rest of the time .... sounds like normal life to me (I am constantly learning).

Asking this question decreases your IQ- What is it? 70...69...68

I do not see the relation. Mental fatigue could be temporary while safe behavior is the product of a learned pattern.

It sure does...and especially with the price of gas these days. After a while it does get old. I used to drive 45 minutes to work and another 45 minutes back. So now I work in the area I live in and trust me, what a relief it is, especially to my wallet. I now drive 10 minutes to work and 10 minutes back home, depending on traffic. Having a job closer to home is worth it!!

Yes, 50 years ago there were lots of good buses in all the cities and suburbs. Most families owned one car. The wife would drop the husband at the bus or train and have the car. The kids took buses or biked. There were very few fat people because people walked to and from public transportation. There were a lot more buses and trollies than there are now and there were trains that were later discontinued. I love NYC because you don't need a car. You can get from one end to the other very quickly by subway. We should be subsidizing public transportation instead of sending oil money to terrorists.

yes you can but it sucks.........your brain re charges after 4 hours of sleep, the other 4 are for your body, but your body can function on a half charge, so if you sleep roughly 4 hours a night that's all you really need to keep from getting nerve disorders and shit like that witch will kill you, Ive heard that a person will die if they go more than 4 days straight with out sleeping. Also, I dint know how long they would go but I have heard the Nazi's would force Jewish prisoners to work until they died from exhaustion.  \n\nI myself have conditioned myself to the point that I could stay awake while driving after 4 and a half hours sleep each night for a week, but the tax it in poses on the body is not cool. After about a year and a half I became allergic to the sun, doc. said that it was because one of my origins was increasing the out put of some long named chemical that I cant pronounce or come close to spelling, all thanks to a lack of sleep. my doc. recommended at least 6 hours of sleep each night, I sleep 6-7 hours and stay healthy

If you're looking for questions and answers form an IQ test that might actually be adminstered by a psycologist, then the answer is no.  These tests are not available to the general public as having previously seen the questions would distort your results.\n\nIf you're looking for an unofficial fun one, the above suggestions are great.

Ok, this isn't a joke, but it happened on my schoolbus.\n\nWe had a Spanish bus driver, and we were trying to go somewhere.  A train began to pass in front of our bus.  After roughly five minutes of watching the never-ending train, our bus driver has had enough.\n\nThe bus driver decides to make an illegal U-turn.  My friend says, "Oh look, we're turning around".  I immedeately say, "This U-turn is about as legal as our bus driver".\n\nHad to be there.  Hard earned 2 points.\n\nAnd what's the person below me talking about?  \n\nThey're probably just mad because they're illegal, too.\n\nDang I modified this like three times.\n\nI feel like such an ass.\n\nFour times.\n\nOur jokes suck.

Public transport often takes much, much longer than driving directly to the destination. It takes away the freedom of being able to go when you want to go as opposed as to having to leave on someone elses' schedule. Have you ever seen some of the people on public transport? Yikes!

You probably shouldn't be on the roads if you fail it twice. I'm not trying to be mean; just realistic. Sometimes you need to cut your losses and just buy a buch of bus tickets with the money you'll spend on your next test.

for the record- the test you get at 8 years old is NOT the same as when youre an adult.  AND YES it will change from 8 years old to when youre older, WHY? Because your database of experience has increased, or OUGHT to have. Your BRAIN size also increases because your SKULL hasnt "completely closed" BY COMPARISON at 8 years old compared to 22. Example being, ONE part of standard IQ test, will test to see if you KNOW certain words and what the words are SIMILAR to. One cant expect an 8 year old to know the same words that a college grad has been exposed to concidering that the words they test you on, are college level words. IQ test online ought not be t aken seriously theyre put out by schools who want to fool you into believing that you possess a high score, in oreder to sign up at their school. You can see this because AFTER the test, youre greeted by ads to 'further your education' at slect schools. REAL IQ tests take HOURS to be administered and the one I had was over 4 hours and had the whole Warshak  Ink Blots test and I got to be timed while putting together red and white divided cubes to match flash cards of complex designs. Now, when you have an IQ test as an ADULT and you have another one say, 15 years later your test score is 'supposed' to be the same. Your brain ought to be the same as it was because 'everything' is supposed to stop growing by the time youre AROUD 22 on average. BY THIS they mean that it varies PLUS or MINUS by 15 points. THIS is due to the same reason we miss anything on a test, we GUESS some answers that we dont know, especially because its a timed test. Its also do to HOW you feel that day, and if youve had enough sleep etc etc. So the score will vary for these reasons. You cannot expect the scores to be anything like that of an 8 year olds. If you havent improved your intellect from an 8 year old to adult hood, somethings impairing you. Im leaving my quickly typed typos in to see if some lamer dares to point out how dumb I must be.

your IQ doesn't change as you pass grade after grade.  It isn't about general knowledge, but rather how you apply your knowledge, and how quickly you do it.

yes. if you study too much you can overload your mind and get confused. it begins to stress you out which is unecessary. take breaks frequently and don't study one thing for too many hours a night. Also, maintain a social life.
