I would pick up another Oxymeter just to be sure, but that's easy for me to say as I have 2 on my desk in front of me.

Lets face it, they were probably running some kind of scam or illegal activity and they hadn't been paid either. They should have rented a house in a normal street but there's always someone watching the hated foreigner

Is it really best for us foreigners if the current government changes? I don't care about the rest of them, only me. What's best for me?

lol, that's not going to happen, for a start they say he murdered someone in Norway, if true then he's going down for a long time in one of the most luxurious prisons in the world based on what I've read

lol

Right, I'm sure this is nothing to do with the massive amount of stability inside Thailand right now 🙄

Such sophistication, whoever would have thought it, getting a passport to travel abroad 🙄

You will likely know that it's based on standard deviations from the mean of some foreign population and is recalibrated every 10 or 20 years to match the current population in order to keep that mean at 100 so it's always 100 regardless of any change over time - and it does change over time - if the entire population changes over time then how dumb or smart you need to be to get a 100 score will also change. So the real question is - what population is used to calculate the 100 score and that depends on the test. 8 points is half a standard deviation - that's inside the 'noise zone', hence all those countries reporting averages of averages slightly above or below 100 are irrelevant - also some of them don't even use the same kind of tests, you think China or South Korea don't calibrate their tests based on their own population and to make the results look nice and shiny?

Try a different browser, especially if you're not using Chrome, everything seems to be designed for Chrome these days and turn off any and all ad blockers while accessing the site. One example of this is the BUPA International site - simply never works in Firefox when attempting to add a new payment method - swapping over to Chrome makes it work instantly - and that was after turning off the blocker I use.

Yes

Here we go....

They still did them fairly recently in the UK, I remember my nephew said they told him he could join Mensa based on his results - pretty sure he didn't bother though, neither did I.

That's nonsense. Your IQ is largely fixed late in adolescence, it's a measure of cognitive potential, nothing more and certainly not education. Back when I was at school they made us all do an IQ test, this was in the 80s when we were 15 or 16 years old depending on when in the academic year you were born. After about this age your IQ will generally not change much if at all. You might be able to spend your time practicing IQ test type questions and get better at the tests but that doesn't change anything other than your ability to do those type of quizzes. I remember we were told during the test that there are many more questions that we can possibly answer in the alloted time - likely about an hour and that's how it's designed - they said don't allow yourself to get stuck on one question - if you don't know it and can't figure it out just leave it blank and move on to the next question.

He said that he sent it to around 80 people in various departments inside Cambodia, I think I read this in a Phnom Penh post article a few days back. The implication being that any one of them could have leaked it.....

No affect on renewals then? I've have multiple licenses over the years, I think it's been 1 year, then 2 x almost 6 years as I went within the week after my birthday each time to get the extra year. So I'm good until late 2026 right now but then I will need to renew.
