Be Excellent To Each Other

I got 150, Ange got 140. So confirming I'm the brains and the looks of the outfit.

I got 130

180 here, though there were 4 that I guessed at.

170? Whatever. I'm not that smart.

I got lamp.

I guessed one, then skipped the last 3 because I got bored, and have things to do. I still got 160. That puts me in the 99.997th percentile, when answering 80% of the test.

The preamble says that this test scores low when compared to other sites.

So I think we can conclude that this site is complete junk, (that probably scores you high as a viral attempt to get you to talk about it/share it).

(That BBC IQ program put me at 137, which seems far more reasonable, but still too high.)

Ha ha, so being in the top 0.003% of the population is worth 4 out of 5 stars!

Yeah, almost certainly. I got bored at the end too, but at least read the questions before clicking an answer that I thought might be right.

I wanted it to tell me what I'd got wrong, too.

The only IQs we can actually get a good idea of belong to the people that share it

There was a Guardian article about this a while back. Hitting 'A' for every answer generally gives you a genius IQ on pretty much all of the online tests. They're clickbait rather than any actual science stuff.

Hitting the first answer for each one got me 60. The only thing more stupid than this test is the Guardian.

(Incidentally, the person for 60 was G. W. Bush)

IDEA:
1) Make n different IQ tests each weighted on a scale between massive under prediction and massive over prediction.

2) Release them into the wild.

3) Plot difficulty of test against number of hits test received in a month.

Would they get harder or easier when you had more people?

Well, it might not have been for this particular test.

I hate those "1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 - which does not belong" questions, as there you can always give a good reason to choose any of them. I guess they want you to answer "8", as it's even rather than odd, but is "11", as it's the only one above ten, any less wrong?


/grumble grumble grumble

11 - only one you can't draw without lifting pen off paper.

5 is the only one that faces right.

170 with skipping the ones that weren't immediately obvious. It's a shit quiz and I think we should burn the one who brought it here.

Yes, I think you are right about this.

Nah, we're just all super-boffins on this forum.

Is the real IQ test the realisation that all it is doing is giving you 10 points per correct answer?

But I also got 170, which seems to be more than most of you lot, so I want to revel in the glory first.

I'm ded clevvah innit, scored like a million or sumth1n

I fear you may be wrong about that

Ok, with educated guessing on the 3 not obvious ones, IQ of 200. This quiz is most certainly bullshit.

Which three were they? I wasn't sure about the one with the kanji-like shapes, but it didn't tell me the right answer so I didn't know if I got that right or not.

I wasn't sure about others too, but I can't remember them.

That was easy for me - I struggled with some of the maths ones. Basically each symbol had one line moved or angle changed.

that one was easy.
The three I don't know were the 3*4 number grid with a missing one middle far right, the numbers in a grid arranged diagonally and the grid of random letters with two identical missing letters on the right edge.

Well, higher than Myp. That's the main thing.

You set your personal bar pretty low.

It worked for your dad.

Did it though? From that union, he ended up with Craster and his daughter married Kissyface. Not a great record.

It's less about proving that I'm actually an intelligent guy and more about reassuring myself that I'm not a babbling incoherent mong.

Well, he got laid.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's how it's coming across...

Sozzers.

How did you not know that?

Why would I?

I didn't know that either, actually. I'd keep it quiet if my sister married a complete loser though, to be fair.

I didn't know that either. This is up there with the Kalmar/KrazyWookie brother revelation.

I fear this has already gone too far.

Is what I said to your mum last night.

That's what she said.

I am in the camp of not knowing as well... well until now

Given that so was I, I don't think you've actually missed much...

Look, I know you'd rather this information was kept buried, but you can't put the cat back in the bag.

It isn't true? This forum is the land of broken dreams.

Did we both dream this? What's going on? Why am I so confused?
