An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived from one of several different standardized tests attempting to measure intelligence. The term "IQ," a translation of the German Intelligenz-Quotient, was coined by the German psychologist William Stern in 1912 as a proposed method of scoring early modern children's intelligence tests such as those developed by Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon in the early 20th Century.

I'd have to search for an IQ test.  I've been using search engines so much I don't remember anything anymore.

By the way, can you remind me what IQ stands for.

During the  last one week Microsoft launched " bing" their search engine! ( what ever you call it)
 
Google launched thier new Google Squared!  
 
Federal launched data.gov!
 
Wolfram|Alfa has been available for three weeks!  ( old news!)
 
Now am I overwhelmed with all this information! 
Unfortunatley with all this help, my IQ has not increased! 
 
 Information overload, reboot!! 
 
 Probably we all should test our IQ in another two months and see whether so much of online help has really helped us?  Any good IQ tests available online?

Dick,

RHM> I consider any language to be a tool for thinking.

I agree with that point.  The languages of mathematics, logic,
and computer science have enabled people to think about complex
issues in far greater depth and precision than they can in
ordinary NLs.  But the conclusions they reach can always be
restated and explained in a natural language.

RHM> IKL, as a logical language, provides a tool for reasoning.
> I put IKL in the class of languages like Prolog.

I suspect that you are trying to draw some kind of distinction
that will make mKR a more "human" language than IKL or Prolog.

But any language that you can implement on a digital computer
is limited by the formal structure of the computer.  You cannot
implement an informal language on a computer that, by design,
is a formal system.

Some languages do have better "human factors" than others.
If you want to claim that, feel free to do so.  But when
it comes to defining anything implementable on a digital
computer, the human factors or the philosophical issues
that motivated the design are irrelevant.

Suggestion:  If you want to discuss philosophy on some blog
with people who are interested, please do so.  But if you want
us to help you define and implement your system, let's focus
on computable details, not philosophical speculation.

John
