Anyone willing to spend 10 minutes can easily pass it, it's a joke.

A tad? That's an understatement.

Yeah, well, the free response portion took me a little bit of time to write, just because I couldn't think of anything to say.

I think the test should be harder. We have people passing it who can barely write a coherent sentence. It's ridiculous.

If the candidate can withstand having their arguments picked apart by derisive and vicious intellectuals, without employing evasive and dishonest debate tactics, fallacious logic, running away crying, or slicing their wrists, then they deserve to be initiated as a member of the Intellectual Forum.

Apply directly to the forehead.

Do you think it was a tad bit easy? I mean, the first few times I applied, I had written absolute nothingness for my Free Response portion. The only time I actually try, I get accepted.

The Intellectual Test is a load of cack. Admission to an elite subforum like this one should involve the candidate running a 'verbal gauntlet'. Candidates should express their political, religious, and philosophical views, to which members respond with a scathing critique reinforced with belittlement and insults.

I got in on my first time, but I actually tried becuase I hoped that there would be some more intellectual discussion going on in here. I know at one point it used to be totally objective, in which case it was easy to get in because you could simply steal the answers from someone else. Either the mods need to be 10,000,000% more difficult, or they need to figure out a new test. I'd love a forum that is actually difficult to get into.
