More IQ Fun

I went back to this site and did the Super IQ Test (earlier I'd done the Classic IQ Test). I found this test to be much harder, even though it was shorter. Anyway, here's what it said:

Heidi, your Super IQ score is 131

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 Complex Intellectual. This means you are highly intelligent and have extraordinarily strong verbal and math skills. Compared to others you are a highly conceptual and complex thinker and are able to understand information in an abstract form. You also show great attention to detail. In fact, it's hard to find something you're not good at (my emphasis).

How did we determine that your thinking style is that of a Complex Intellectual? 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 Complex Intellectual. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities (my emphasis again).

Endquote. This test had those spatial questions that I hate, that always seem to be unfairly black and white. "Which of these shapes doesn't belong?" Well, it all depends on how you classify them... you can choose any one, actually, if you're creative enough, though the test only accepts one right answer. This one also had the ones with pulleys and with "which chair fits under this table" and such, the ones I hate. I don't know how I keep coming up with good math skills, except that I remember my high school math, and these questions are grade 10 level at best - solve for x and find volume, etc.

Anyway, even though this score is lower than my previous one, I feel comfortable with my 131 score, although Andrew is doing the test right now, so depending on his results, this comfortableness might change.
