The last quiz wasn't a good indicator of anything really, so here is one designed to measure intelligence. It is an IQ test. (Supposedly, this test is scientifically accurate, but since it is an online test, I have my doubts.)

Go here: http://web.tickle.com/tests/uiq/


I scored a 129. The result: "You are a Facts Curator.

This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills."

I'll take it! Very Happy

Capergirl I got a score of 133. Apparently I am a word warrior. It went on say to say many a splended thing about my annyalytical skills, vocabulary and general alround intelligence. I was starting to feel pretty pleased with myself until I realised that I had wasted about 30 minutes of my life going through this rather pointless test. I then started to feel, as I normally do, pretty stupid. Wink

140. Apparently I'm a Visionary Philosopher.

"This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others � and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results."

I often apply my insight by taking long naps.

131 - Type is an Insightful Linguist.

This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

I ha'e me doots, too. Last year, when I did this test, It decreed me to be an Insightful Linguist with an IQ significantly higher than 119, which is the number I got when a psych student gave me a vocab test at a Very Famous University many years ago.

Have you received any dating game emails yet? You will!

I just answered the questions randomnly.
Got a score of 99 Rolling Eyes

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.

Jesus, "compared to others" I am a "precision processor" What does this mean?
A- some of the teachers on Dave's aren't as smart as they have led us to believe.
B- other participants were monkeys at the zoo
C- this test was test piloted in the foreign policy unit of the white house(see B)
D- this test is a pathetice attempt at buttering people up just enough to get them to open their wallets.

Shit feel pretty stupid sending off my money now. Very Happy

I demand a recount! Evil or Very Mad

I think Sid's right. We are being buttered up with high scores. Some of us are being buttered up more than others. Rolling Eyes Didn't anyone have a score lower than 129? Come on, now. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. Laughing

126. Not bad, I'd say, given my atrophied math skills.

Seriously, though, I did think that most of the math problems were a bit on the simple side (even if I couldn't answer them myself.) I remember being besieged by far more difficult problems in high school calculus class...

Oh, well.

I make it a policy not to believe anything that these quizzes tell me about myself anyway.

I scored 139. Is that possible? I mean, I took it half pi$$ed? I think I click just about everything.

A recount is probably wise...'
