Silly fun!  Except for the Gates reference... Your IQ score is 140 This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others. Your Intellectual Type is 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 — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.   I think I took this some time back & scored about the same thing.  I was wondering if it was a timed test, which could affect the scores (I only get interrupted a half-dozen times on any given task).  I guess I could try again tonight from home & see how it compares, it would be much speedier the 2nd time around.  I know I remembered the general solution (although not the specific answer) to several problems from the last time.   I took standard IQ tests when I was a kid.  They're MUCH more extensive (several hours).  And I agree with Mike that they don't really mean much except for a general level of a few specific skills.  There's actually a good book on that subject that explains how IQ tests were developed and how they've been misused and misinterpreted:  The Mismeasure of Man by Stephen Jay Gould.    I dunno about the descriptions - they strike me as the sort of generic descriptions that apply to most anyone, much like astrology horoscopes and such.   But it was a nice break for a bit, being that I remembered how to do most of the difficult ones.  ;^D           -----Original Message----- From: Ben Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 4:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: [OT] IQ test Ok, ok, how many of you took the test more than once to beat my score. ;-) I need to know the mean number so that it is a fair playing field.
