    OK, I saw this was coming on, and I figured I'd take it, just to see how stupid I'd become.

    Overall it was a fun test, but I wasn't happy with my results. Oh well. The test was broken down into categories of:
    Language.
    Memory.
    Logic.
    Math.
    Perception.

    While I obviously can't remember all of the questions, and share them with y'all, I will share my results.

    First section: Language-first part:synonyms.

    (remember: you take the whole test first, and then they go through the results)

    My first section, I go a whopping 0-4! That's right. As of now my I.Q. is 0.

    Second section:Antonyms.

    Second section I go 2-3. My I.Q. is now a 2-7, and I'm now beginning to think I'm a moron.

    3rd section: Relationships with words. I go 3-1. Total score in language: 5-8.

    Next: Memory section. I go a perfect 10-0, and start thinking I'm O.K. again. Score as of now: 15-8.

    Next: Logic. In this section, I go 19-1, and am starting to feel better. Score as of now: 34-9.

    Next: Math. I feel I'll do best here, but a word problem screws me up. I go 9-1. Score as of now: 43-10.

    Final section: Perception. Do Ok here. 6-1.

    Final score: 49-11. For a pathetic I.Q. according to the show of 118.

    I was pissed, but I've never been the best with word associations. (maybe if they'd asked people to spell something.)

    But other than the language part, I felt I did fairly well.

    Anyway, in fairness to my previous posts, I felt I should do this, and show the results.

    Ok you can bash away now. (in fairness to myself, I was in kindergarten when the first test was run.):p

    I did well in logic and perception and allright with memory. That one that had a **** load of addresses and that one lady's address was hard to remember. I should have kept track of my results, so I could get an accurate result. I was watching wrestling, and this show at the same time.


    I forgot how I did, but I just assumed that I got X amount right.


    A grand total IQ of 103, which is whack. It should be higher, I think.

    Yeah, i got hooked on the show for some reason. I think I'm a sucker for surveys and quizzes and polls, as long as they aren't delivered to me over the phone in 2 hour installments while i'm trying to watch a game. :)

    Anyway, i think the very short amounts of time really screwed me in the Language section, because I only got 8 of 13 right. However, I righted the ship after that, and got 45 of 47 right on all the logic, math, spatial reasoning, etc. So, i finished with 53 correct out of 60, and an alleged IQ of 124. About around what I expected. Kinda surprising that age is taken into effect when determining IQ, although i guess it makes sense. However, it seemed odd that I could have gotten 60 out of 60 correct, but since I'm only 25, my IQ would have a ceiling of 138. Hmmmm...I know, it's not the most accurate test in the world, but it was fun to see how I did, and also how the in studio audience groups measured up. I think the blondes and the body builders finished last, while the scientists and teachers finished first and second.

    All in all, fun to watch and do as I kept up with the Texas-FSU game.
