Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 One more thing to add to my previous (somewhat mamouth post) is an IQ score, having given into the temptation once more my Emode IQ result was 155. It is kind of nice taking a test and being told you are in genius range, or at least it is nice until you start comparing that result with multiple years spent failing at things like University and now being nearly 25 and still an unemployed bum . Ah well, time I think to withdraw socially for a while so I can hear myself think and might be able to sort stuff out for a change.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 I was a brainy git..... but now im not. I only got 125 on that super test thingy (:-() here's my certificat of achievment, or whatever. gareth, your Super IQ score is 125 Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically- tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information. The way you think about things makes you a Concrete Thinker. This means your intelligence is grounded in a clear understanding of what is happening around you. In situations where others are confused, things are crystal clear to you. In addition, you have the unusual combination of strong verbal and numerical skills. You are able to solve equations and then use your verbal skills to explain those solutions to others. How did we determine that your thinking style is that of a Concrete Thinker? When we examined your test results further, we analyzed how you scored on 8 dimensions of intelligence: spatial, organizational, abstract reasoning, logical, mechanical, verbal, visual and numerical. The 3 dimensions you scored highest on combine to make you a Concrete Thinker. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities. Find out which 3 intelligence dimensions you scored the highest on and how your IQ score compares to others in your personalized, 31- page Super IQ Report. It's ready right now!

I just got done eating four italian sausages, so pig is food for me too. I just retook the classic IQ test at emode, scored 136 (same as before), then changed the answer on this one, and found out that indeed, they thought I was wrong, when I think I was right: http://home.att.net/~ascaris1/question.PNG I think the answer is obviously the fifth choice. It is the only one that is asymmetrical. However, Emode seems to think it is the second one. And this one: 27. Which one of these five things is least like the other four? Coconut Grape Banana Apple Pear They seem to think that the answer is grape, but I don't see that as correct. Grapes grow on vines, the others on trees, but the concept of " tree " is an artificial one, as far as this is concerned; a palm tree upon which a coconut grows is not that similar to an apple or pear tree, and the banana tree (a plantain) is again dissimilar. As such, the big difference is the fact that a coconut is a nut, more similar to a walnut or an acorn than it is to a grape. In addition, I do not see how botanical knowledge of this sort indicates a higher IQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard shell and all that, as opposed to thin skin. Plus, it's the only one I *can't* eat, 'cause I have false uppers, and don't bother to wear them anyway. 8<{) How in hell is a grape more different than the others? > In addition, I do not see how botanical knowledge of this > sort indicates a higher IQ.

I did better on the super test, Gareth better on the first one. I think that just shows that one or both are not particularly good at measuring IQ. I still have not found a free one as good as the culture-fair IQ test on queendom.com (which was free when I took it, but costs money now).

I get 133 on both of those. I suspect some of the difference comes from the other one (where I got 155) being timed and the amount of time being factored into the results. Either way results tend to be somewhat dubious if entertaining. Hmm.. interesting.. i'm noticing in myself a wish to dismiss the test that resulted in the lower IQ score but not in the case where I got a high result, Oh well... an inconsistancy to watch for I suppose.

Okay, I took the second one, the super IQ test. I won't lie to you, I got 133. But I think that they take your age into account, and so my being 57 counts against me. I wonder what they would say I scored if I told them I was 32? Seemed a fair test to me, but that lap, lop, lup thing threw me for a loop. Just before I was given the score, it said I was nearly 31 million minutes old. Then I got an email from them that said my " thinking style " was, (are you ready?) a Creative Theorist ! It said I was highly imaginative, and excel at being innovative and conjuring up notions of what *could* be. Damn, I think that's pretty good, spot on!

People keep pigs as pets, Chinese pot-bellied pigs. Also some type from Vietnam. Horses are seen as pets, though probably not housepets. They stay in the barn.

Seemed a fair test to me, but that lap, > lop, lup thing threw me for a loop. I don't know if it considers age. It has been a while since I created my emode profile, so I don't know. Theoretically, IQ tests should consider age, but I have no idea how these things were designed. Some only have one category for adults of a certain age or older, so you may have topped out years ago. > Just before I was given the score, it said I was nearly 31 million > minutes old.

I just did another Meyers-Briggs personality sorter thing. I have always scored INTP or ISTP on all of these, but the scores are so close on the N/S thing... I'm really right at the boundary between the two. This one I just did was a crusty old DOS app, was quite long, and it put me as ISTP, but the score for " S " was 28 and " N " was 27, so it was very close again. If I read the descriptions of ISTP and INTP, though, I am much closer to INTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Clay danced around singing: >Horses are seen as pets, >though probably not housepets. They stay in the barn. Actually, not the case anymore. :-) Miniature horses are now trained as guides for the blind with the same functionality (and cleanliness) as Guide Dogs. I've heard that they also have some functionality that the dogs lack, but I can't remember offhand what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 that iq test is not worth a squit. i got 155 too, and that is wayyyyy to high. i teach a child whose iq is 155 and she learns faster than i can show her things. those tests hope to tempt you to buy a product usually. so it is in their interests to please and excite you.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 The super IQ told me I am an abstract thinker- I got 99% on that one, which makes sense to me. That's why I do very well at Chemistry and Microbiology. I got 120 on the test. My style is " Complex Intellectual " - 6 out of 1,000 people think like I do. I think the way it separates out certain skills is very accurate, as it said my mechanical skills weren't so hot- and they aren't. That's why I need so much help with technique in the lab- and I bump into things. Physics was my worst subject. I got the lap-lop thing- the toughest one was the lighting bolt one. I hated that one. Overall, I think is right. These tests really don't measure IQ all that well, but the styles I think are accurate.
