bn880 5 Posted August 6, 2003 First of all, even if IQ tests could say something about overall intelligence, they would be fairly useless anyway since they are not standardized in any way. This one for instance had no time limit. Second, it's a bit unfair since it's in English.Anyway, IQ tests are fun in a competitive manner (oooo, I scored more than you...etc), but I very much doubt that they say anything about raw intelligence. Basically I think we all agree about this. I had a much better IQ test program lying around here somewhere, it was enormous and filled with visual rather than vocabular questions, unfortunately it really made my head spin and felt like a serious exam... why put yourself through that I figure.

denoir 0 Posted August 6, 2003 I did Test the Nation, a televised IQ test on BBC1 last year and I got 112 so I'm happy  Test the nation I got completely lost and out of synch on the first segment (anagrams), which pissed me off, so I terminated the test. Anyhow, this test looks a bit more demanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bernadotte 0 Posted August 6, 2003 I've just tried to get the worst score possible. Example answers: "A cynic is one who knows the price of everything and the color of nothing." "True knowledge exists in knowing that you know the weather." I scored 73. Â Can anyone get lower than that? Quote[/b] ]...your Intellectual Type is an Inventive Inquisitor.You have the unusual distinction of being equally good at math and verbal skills. This means you are a creative thinker and are uniquely good at teaching others through experiences. You are also a great improviser and very good at handling change. It should then say, "You are also probably the type of person who will blow good money on our 15-page IQ report." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-TU--33ker 0 Posted August 6, 2003 Quote[/b] ]Congratulations, Donald!Your IQ score is 120 We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Precision Processor. This means you're exceptionally good at discovering quick solutions to problems, especially ones that involve math or logic. You're also resourceful and able to think on your feet. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results. Math or logic??? That can't be me! Those tests are screwed up anyway. BTW, my real name is not Donald!

Tovarish 0 Posted August 6, 2003 http://quiz.ivillage.com/health/tests/eqtest2.htm I answered this two different ways, first based on how I'd act during a typical school/workday, and second based on how I'd act on a night out during the weekend. The first time I scored 30%, the second 70%. Makes sense, I don't make a lot of friends at work, and most of my classmates I don't see outside of school. Might be the fact that I don't really want to be at either place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grey Fox 0 Posted August 6, 2003 My IQ score is 117! Maybe its because I'm still in high school (maybe not, but if thats the case, I blame the test) We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Precision Processor. This means you're exceptionally good at discovering quick solutions to problems, especially ones that involve math or logic. You're also resourceful and able to think on your feet. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results. Edit: Well if EQ matters more, on that test I got 90% correct. Thats good, right?
