RE: the emode IQ test

Quoting Shearon, Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I think the IQ estimates are a bit inflated and the results don't come at all close to an accurate assessment given by more accepted tests like the Strong. Wait a stinking minute here. I liked my score just fine and think it reflects the 'real me', well
