[OT] Check your IQ!!!

http://www.emode.com/tests/uiq/

It'll take you just a bit to get through.  See how you do!  I've never 
done such an exam before - scored a 129.  Is that good for these things, 
or did I just prove myself to be a nincompoop?  They gave me the title 
of "Precision Processor", so I guess I can't be all that bad ...

Regards,

Eddie

I'm something you all aren't: Facts Curator. I feel so special! ;)
I found most of the patterns quite easy. The dots were harder though.

LOL, I had to buy the personalised report for $14.95 in order to find out
why I got less and perhaps back up my case :-).

The results are split up into four sections:

Mathematical Intelligence, Visual-Spatial Intelligence, Linguistic
Intelligence and Logical Intelligence

My results were as follows:

Mathematical Intelligence: 90-100% ( :-D )
Visual-Spatial Intelligence: 70-80%
Linguistic Intelligence: 50-60% (as I guessed :-) )
Logical Intelligence: 80-90%

I suppose as a developer that´s all I need :-P.

Regards,

Michael

You must've got the one right that had the changing pattern.  I was 
clueless on that.  What did it represent?  ... a matrix or something?  I

Eddie,

I agree with you and it´s amazing how nervous I got before I clicked on the
"calculate" button.  After all, it could have been, and maybe *is*, a
complete embarassment :-) !

I defnitely had problems with some of the phrases, but I have an excuse for
that :-).  After my A-levels in the UK (at 18), I moved to Germany and have
worked there ever since (for 8 years now :-) ), so I´m not aware of all the
english expressions.

Ok, got my excuse out of the way :-P.  Now let´s see if others get a similar
result !

Regards,

Michael

Yeah.......129 seems to be a popular score. Me too.....but my Intellectual

Re: [OT] Check your IQ!!!

It can't be bogus -- the guys that put it together have PhDs!!!!!!

Yes, I am being sarcastic.  One specific experience I recall from 
college ... goes something like this:

I was taking a boolean algebra class.  The professor just got his PhD 
before he started teaching (had been there since one or two semesters 
before, I think).  We're sitting there in class - trying to learn 
something - and he poses a question which would require knowledge none 
of us had (he had a very confused idea of what the prerequisites for the 
class were, I think).  I, not being scared of looking the fool, burst 
out and say, "How about you tell us?  You're the one with the PhD.  I 
don't even have a BS.  I may be full of it, but I don't have one."  Of 
course, the entire class just about died; his response was "PhDs are a 
'dime a dozen' - anyone can get a PhD".  I'm here to tell you he was 
living proof of it.  I was *so* disappointed in that class.  I started 
out trying to learn, but, after his telling us that correct things were 
incorrect (he even counted an answer wrong on a test I took -- it was 
*right* according to everything I knew; was the same answer as the book 
had for it [ I know, I know - the book was actually right this time 
though - honest! ]) and incorrect things were correct, I quickly adopted 
everyone elses approach of "make it through the class".  I think he 
could have just looked at one paper in the class and graded us all ... 
not saying anything more!

Peace,

Eddie

I probably just got luckier on a couple of guesses ;-)  I hadn't heard 
part of the phrases before and had to just reason them.  Then there was 
the one about the alient interpretations ...

My wife took it and got the *exact* same score (man was I scared she'd

interesting experience though ;-)  That's why I forwarded it.  I'm not

Hi,

I´ve just done the test aswell.... and ehem... even although I´ve got the
same title (Precision Processor - IQ126) I had 3 points less than you.  This
is my first time aswell and to be honest, I was quite nervous about the
outcome after having heard that yours is 129.  Well I suppose 3 points less
isn´t all that bad.... :-) !
