   but as heather points out - crap test even for an iq test, and no one entirely sure what iq tests test!
   got the dime/nickel one wrong btw.

   I went back and looked at the logic questions again, and I could well be wrong, but the dime nickel one seemed to me to not be a logic question at all (too cultural) and I wasn’t at all convinced by the go to jail question either, although have slapped myself round the head for other mistakes. I’m tired, that’s my excuse!

   And not as impressive as yours either Joanna! Can’t comment on your blog, blogger isn’t playing.

   130 for me - genius on the first 3 categories, lol (and yes, that nickel and dime one relied *far* too much on you being North American), and above average on the last - the 20th century presidents caught me out totally, doh, and I guessed the languages one wrongly.

   And now I’ve just wasted half an hour doing loads of their other quizzes, so clearly not really very intelligent

   Did like the “What rejected crayon are you?” one though

   I got 135!!!! Of course having read the comments I took slightly longer on the US president and coins one that I might have.

   Your IQ Is 135

   Your Logical Intelligence is Exceptional
   Your Verbal Intelligence is Genius
   Your Mathematical Intelligence is Genius
   Your General Knowledge is Genius

   Probably best to take this “IQ” Test in conjunction with their “How American Are You?” Test and other questions are just plain nonsense.
