IQ tests

Got sent through a link to a IQ test. The numbers are meaningless to me, and to be honest, half the test involves spacial awareness and identifying patterns which I ought ot be able to do for work anyway, so it's a bit of a nonsense but this one comes up with a comment about you that is quite interesting.

Your unusual talent of being equally good at both mathematical and verbal skills, paired with the way you learn through experience, makes you an Inventive Inquisitor. You understand the world by "learning through living" and are able to teach others by taking them through actual experiences.

Most people search their brains for previously stored information that might help in a given situation, but you are open to an unusual amount of change and take things as they come and see things as they are.

What is interesting is that it actually sounds like me... although there is an implication that I don't search through my brain enough! :-)

(BTW I have an IQ of 127 according to this test)

Numbers don't count at all. Of course not. Especially when mine was higher than yours ;)

(But very sneakily, it tries to get your hotmail password from you. GRRRR!)

You could try typing in random answers to see if you get the same result. Maybe there are only a few predetermined results!

ok, so I tried just giving random answers to the questions and got 84. I'm even more amused by the outcome this time!

It says:

"You've got a very experiential way of learning and a strong mathematical mind and you have mastered the art and science of precision. That's what makes you a Precision Processor. For you, life is a series of equations."

Precision? Precision? I was just hitting whiever answer the mouse was closeset to! No thought involved at all!

It gave me a number of 122.
"You are equipped with a verbal arsenal that enables you to understand complex issues and communicate on a particularly high level, making you a Word Warrior. Your command of words is so powerful that you are also a terrific communicator -- able to articulate big ideas to just about anyone.

The power of words translates to fresh ideas off paper too, in both artistic and creative pursuits. This allows you to be a visionary -- to extrapolate and come up with a multitude of fresh ideas."

Apparently I am allowed BIG ideas....tee hee hee.
