    Default IQ - Test The Nation

    Has anyone taken the "Test The Nation" test for this year? This is aimed at UK people, but you can all take the test here.

    I myself got a rather spiffy 132, which means I'm smarter than 97.5% of the population. Not bad if I do say so myself. Incidentally, if I was the same age as Keith Barron (the celebrity with the highest IQ, 146), I'd have the same IQ as him.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    can't get the site to work ... i must not be too smart >.<
    Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.

    What's that about? They want to record the IQ's of everyone in the UK? That's... pointless. IQ means very little in the real world. I mean, when I took the Mensa in high school I got 142 and look at me... sitting here on a Final Fantasy message board in my dad's old sweat pants.

    If this test takes more than five minutes to complete then I guess you can call me "stupid".

    I did one of those things once. They were showing it on Fox. I got a 130-something. My friend got like 6 higher than me. I was devastated. ;__;

    Hmm, something seems to be not working on the site for me. I'll try something else.

    I'm at 134. I don't believe in IQ tests and their validity however.

    I've done one of those before and got 132 ^^
    But I never go by those things... my friend scored like 160 or something which is silly ^^

    138, some of that was pretty trick though. I don't really trust it's legitimacy 100%. I could just being paranoid or skeptic though.

    I don't really trust them becuase a lot of answers can be guesses.

    I'm not wasting my time proving, yet again, that I'm a genius.

    Everybody here seems to be getting 130-ish, which makes me question this test's legitimacy.

    But if I get higher than all of you, then it's okay.

    I retook the test and gots 155 OMFG, smexy.
    Well not really, but I don't really trust it's Legitimacy and I think it could be easy to figure out the system and deliberatly get high scores.
    It's the same with most, if not all Internet based IQ tests. So are you going to stalk away from topic a bit by talking about internet IQ tests illegitimacy or something? Well it could be classed as on topic. Depends on how you view it. SO enough stalling, I'll end my post and shut up now. *zip*

    It doesnt work because your IP has to be within the UK for you to take the test. Its not broadband access. :geekdom:

    IQ tests are rubbish. They only measure a certain type of intelligence, an you can get a high IQ score just by hitting random answers.
