Sit down for 20 minutes and see how many brain cells you've killed with excessive abuse of intoxicated liquor. The national IQ test was on TV last night and 100 blondes in the studio scored an average of 104 I think it was. You'd better beat that! Do the test here:

Good luck!

i guessed i would get 100 and i got 111.

the time kept screwing me. i would click an answer immediatley after it moved to the next question therefore not answering one and having a 75% of getting the next one right.

I guessed mine correct. 120. Did one 4 years ago, that was a half-descent one, probably better than this. Back then it was 118,5. So guess I'm still improving. Point is english isn't my mother tongue so it might have been higher coz I messed up the language stuff...

Looks like the average boarder has a higher IQ than the average person, but that's obviously a fact seeing discussions about crunchy and creamy peanut butter, or strapping toast with butter to a cat. Laughing

I got 109. Some of the questions I ran out of time then tried to click on an answer but it skipped to the next question. By the end I was just guessing. Other IQ tests I've done have been much higher, in the 150/160s. Maybe this one was a more realistic test! Or maybe I took it too early in the morning!

other tests i've gotten in the 140s. i think they're all different. also what the hell difference does it make where you live? i cant remember what i put but the area i picked probably wasnt even close to the city i picked.

it doesn't matter where you live they're doing some survey of the region.

ohsix · Posted: May 05, 2003 6:31 pm Post subject:

all the other ones ive taken were timed. not each question though. just timed overall.

well its gotta be easier the 2nd time through

I got a 125 and guessed it would be 130. But there were 3 questions where I had the answer just as it timed out Evil or Very Mad

Fun test but frustrating too and the timer really makes it hard on some of those math questions.

The first time I did a real IQ test (the approved ones) I got about 147,

When I did the televised one last year, I got 135. I am getting dumber.

I didn't bother taking this one, I have a hangover. Mad

IQ tests don't test how smart you are at all. There's famous mathematicians out there that have no idea what some big words mean and viceversa.

But then again I hear that Steven Hawking has a IQ of 230 something, so I guess I better not talk.

We all know its not the IQ that counts though, its can do Exclamation

that's because mathmatical geniouses not all round. it's very rare to have someone who can be considered a genious or prodigy in all or most of the categories tested by IQ tests.
