well... I got 50% so I guess I'm average.
However it was a bit unfair as a lot of the questions related to names, places, people in the US for which I couldn't be expected to know the answer...

So it's not an IQ test, it's a "how lucky are you" test..
Hey Frink, can you give me 6 numbers between 0 and 50 please?

I'm glad that was just for fun.... however, now my self esteem is ruined.
Those anagram and "what number comes next" thingies were harder than a Jeopardy clue on 14th century Spanish Monarchs.... uhhh, can I buy a vowel?

15 out of 18 for 83%. The anagrams were no prob. Nor the number series stuff. I'm sure what I missed were the word series thingys. Shucks.

I wonder how a transgender child answers question #7?  Hmm... Although I got what they were looking for, there were definitely some dumb questions on there and some of the exact things I have against IQ tests. Plus, there's no way my IQ is what they say below based on 18 semi-relevant questions! Lucky for me my browser's blocking abilities prevented me from seeing the ads they really wanted to show.   Besides, everyone knows a better anagram of "Nearby Priests" would equate to a religious denomination anyway (Presbyterian). It even makes a nicer analogy than someone who forgets to wear underwear in public...

Coincidentally...
I fondly remember walking home from school one day when me old mate and fellow pupil Pistolpete came running over toward me a-cheering and a-whooping, waving a piece of paper in his hand.
"Hey Strummy" he called, "Take a look at this!"
"What's got you even more hyper-active than usual my simple friend" I replied.
"Well" he said, "I just got my best ever score ever! Look, I got an 'A' in my reading test!"
"Pete" I said, "That's an 'E'"

Hey Bit...would you PM me with the answers to the "water...paper clip" and the other word thingy? That's the only ones I had trouble with...I kept trying to use math to solve them but... No love. I just didn't step far enough back.

It's not a math based question My 'Ol Pal (and one of those that I always have a beef with since there's usually a legitimate alternate answer that can be logically defended). You might want to think about items you need to do business now-a-days...
I've taken four actual IQ tests and I've never felt they mean too much. Any question that requires having prior knowledge (like the anagram questions) are suspect in my mind because what if you've never been taught the mottos of the States? Does that make you dumber? Hardly. I've only gotten one question wrong and I had (at least as far as I'm concerned) a very valid alternative answer. Most IQ tests cap at 140 and the highest I've ever seen on either "real" tests or other online tests is 170. The fact that you can miss some of the (only) 18 questions in this IQ test and still get over 170 is ridiculous.

Yup...I agree, not in any way a definitive test. Though it does show folks their weak logical areas. And it is fairly typical of "IQ" tests...though it should have had more logical inferences IMHO. I have fun taking such tests and even went back to study (and retake the test) especially the "water...paper clip" question and got it right this time. Plus I realized that I had selected an incorrect answer, simply by clicking too fast, on my initial test even though I knew the right answer...I try to speed through these kinds of things. I'm always more interested in what I got wrong than right. Else how would I learn:-)
