IQ test

How come so many people jump at taking and posting those stupid personality quizzes like "Are you a psychopath?" and no one touches this one?
I mean, the quizzes are usually popular. :­P

IQ tests take more time than I have right now.

Maybe I'll jump at the chance to get called a narc and a liar this weekend when I have nothing better to do. Unless the girlie who checked me out last night and showed me her nudie pics is a real lesbian for a change

I am reeeeeeeeally really bad at these "spatial reasoning" tests. I got 106 on this one when I took it yesterday. I'd share the actual verbal/math IQ scores I got many years ago but then I'd have to deduct 20 points & I'd be merely average. Psssssh. :p

It doesn't take too long, Xena. :­P

That didn't test spatial reasoning. IQ tests test cognition, understanding ideas et cetera. Spatial reasoning is more like distance of things, and the tests are usually about folding boxes.
And spatial reasoning is the only field of intelligence where men are markedly better than women, so it would be quite unfair to make IQ tests with too much spatial reasoning in them. :­P

Because they don't want to be beaten by the silliest Koala ever to climb a maypole.
Your middle was 15 bloody points over mine.

Still people put all to much value to something that's tries to project the totality of human ability to single numbers. I lost all my faith in them when I read The Mismeasure of Man.

Or is this only sour grapes?

Hah, IQ tests are stupid anyway. They test too little.
But I always liked solving puzzles so the score is less important than the run. :­P

Although I would like to see the forum's biggest quiz enthusiast with 129(or 127) in IQ to do this test to test the test's accuracy. :­P

Liar

9 for stamina, 9 for physique, 9 for intelligence, and 9 for leadership(based on mental health).

Out of a score of 30 that's sucks bad. Did the army only let you in to hold the flag pole up or what?

Who is the forum's biggest quiz enthusiast?

Can't be me cause I only scored 126.

@Obsi
Have you ever tried algorithm theory?
Lots of stimulating puzzles in that field.

Sorry for overestimating your capabilities. :­P

Not really, but I will keep that in mind if I ever run out of puzzles in my everyday life. :­P

Well ###$ it, whatever those pattern things were. I had a hard time paying attention to that... I prefer actual IQ testing where they mix it up & throw the different types of intelligences together, instead of seeing a different version of the same question 60 times in a row. Hahahahh I think my IQ dropped a few points out of sheer boredom.
