Sucked in by a Pop up!

It was one of those IQ tests, but I did it anyway. Four pages each geared toward different strengths, eg, spatial awareness, language etc..
apparently I`m an Insightful linguist! That was the bit I found fun, the analysis of character strengths......well I would wouldn`t I?! lol

You are gifted with the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind.
Insightful linguists can take complex concepts and articulate them to just about anyone. You have a gift with words and insight into processes and the way people think. These talents enable you to explain things clearly to people. Helen Keller is a great example of an Insightful Linguist. Blind, deaf and mute, she was still able to put things together in her mind and to understand complex ideas. She could do that because she was able to conceptualise ideas internally. Though she could not literally see, she had the visual and spatial skills necessary to understand patterns on an abstract level. She learned to read, write and ultimately became a writer on issues of social justice.

That`d be why a became road kill on a Philosophy site then! rotflmao

Tickles quite good fun actually, you can create your own tests for your friends to try and see how well they know you.....or not! confused

21 Feb 2005

Oh this one is great fun, I just did it again, clicking on random answers, and came up with this result......

You've got a very experiential way of learning and a strong mathematical mind. You're able to whittle even the most complex situation down to comprehensible component parts. In short, 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. Your brain is naturally predisposed to intense mathematical acuity, and your understanding of numerical problems is unparalleled. It's second nature for you to cut to the heart of an issue, so that you can discover quick solutions to problems while others get bogged down in unnecessary details. One Precision Processor that comes to mind is the Greek philosopher-mathematician, Pythagoras. Pythagoras had a mind for numbers and, as such, could come up with previously unknown theories like his method for calculating the sides of a right triangle (a2+b2=c2). You too, can use numbers to translate aspects of the world around you -- something that doesn't come easily to everyone. Your quick mathematical mind will allow you to communicate a variety of ideas to other people, so don't keep it to yourself.

No matter how crap you do, you are going to come out of this sounding clever! My kind of test! :mrgreen:

Calista you have an IQ of 126

You are equipped with a verbal arsenal that enables you to understand complex issues and communicate on a particularly high level. These talents make you a Word Warrior.
Whether or not you recognise it, your vocabulary is your strongest suit -- use it whenever you can. Since your command of words is so great, you are also a terrific communicator -- able to articulate big ideas to just about anyone. Your wordsmithing prowess will also help in artistic and creative pursuits. The power of words translates to fresh ideas off paper too. Since you have so many words at your disposal, you are in a unique position to describe things in an original way, as well as see the future in your mind's eye. In short, your strengths allow you to be a visionary -- able to extrapolate and come up with a multitude of fresh ideas.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

your IQ score is 118
You have the unusual talent of being equally good at both mathematical and verbal skills. That, paired with your thirst to learn through experience, makes you an Inventive Inquisitor.
Your strength lies in the methodology you have naturally adopted to understand the world. Basically, you have perfected "learning through living." You have a unique ability to teach others by taking them through actual experiences. Your talents come in handy especially when confronted with unfamiliar or unproven situations. Most people search their brains for previously stored information that might help in a given situation. You, however, take things as they come and see things as they are. You are a great improviser and are probably open to an unusual amount of change.
Not too bad eh?? lol

Call me cynical, but the fact that they then tried to sell you the full report (or something) may have something to do with it?
But you may also really be a genius too!

I think the online IQ tests are a little unreliable. I used to do a few while at work a few years ago. I do NOT have an IQ of 146. There must be a problem somewhere in the marking system for that one to come up.

lol, 118, did the test 3 times, 1st I worked hard at it and scored 118 and something about a processor,
2nd I worked on page 2 and 4 rest was click anything, score... 118
3rd time was just click whicver number the dice came up with, score 118
either I am just bloomin lucky or the site is buggy

22 Feb 2005

Dunno Kristoff, I managed a completely different score second time around, I had a random click IQ of 88! :giggle: The character strengths they cited for me first time round weren`t too far off, highly exaggerated, but it did pick up on strengths, but it`s no huge feat for a basic test to pick up on who can answer certain questions better than others. I am articulate etc, but hardly `up there` with Helen Keller!
Not an incentive for me to pay for a full report, but it was a fun distraction.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

900
1000
1100
1200
This put paid to any hopes of level 5 snoozing. confused

22 Feb 2005

chris, your IQ score is 142
Like a meticulous collector, you've fed your brain a unique set of facts and figures over the years. Words, numbers, you've got it all. That's what makes you a Facts Curator.
Whether or not you intend to absorb every piece of information that comes your way, your mind has certain steel-trap qualities to it. You are a knowledge sponge. You have almost enough words in your head to fill a dictionary, and you're equally adept when it comes to manipulating numbers. You can also detect important patterns in number sequences, and probably remember the mnemonic devices you were taught in your early school years.

Yeah, whatever, beats me ho one is supposed to get 200 on these tests...

I still don't get it rolleyes

This one also got me....
Two cars start off at the same point on a straight road facing opposite directions. Each car drives for six miles, takes a left turn, and drives for eight miles. How far apart are the two cars?
* 2 miles
* 11 miles
* 14 miles
* 20 miles
* 26 miles
My intitial thought was, my answer's not there :undecided: surely it's 28 miles? confused

But then I thought, nah, maybe I should be thinking as the crow flies? biggrin

Then I thought unless one of the vehicles is the RAC/AA and the other one has broken down does it really matter? :roll:
Hey, I spent my time reading romance novels instead of doing math at school. And only in stupid IQ tests like this one does it really matter.

Yep....thats the one marmy.....400 = 20x20..............100= 10x10...............3600=60x60........so..........900 is the answer cos it's 30x30

That one is your basic 3-4-5 right-angled triangle.......one side is divisible by 3. the second one is divisible by 4 so there fore the hypoteneus is divisible by 5
6 miles then 8 miles........so they are both 10 miles away from the starting point .....double that up cos they went in opposite directions and you get the answer......20
try it with a ruler and pencil. Draw a line 3cm long.....then another at right angles to it that is 4 cm long..........then measure the third side and it will be 5cm long

No. Neither cars travel in a str8 line. Because they take a left each, you can think of them as being at opposite ends of a rectangle. 12miles by 16 miles. If you draw a diagonal line between them, you get a 3,4,5 right angled triangle. Therefore the distance between them must be 20 miles.

No-one has mentioned the key word yet, Pythagorous Theorum states that;

The square on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

With this one it's the simple 3, 4, 5 triangle, if the two sides at a right angle to one another are 3 units and 4 units then the diagonal side is 5 units. Here we have 2*3 and 2*4, so the diagonal back to the start is 2*5 (10), times 2 becuse each car did it gives us 20 miles.

John likes 'square numbers' 400 is 20*20, 100 is 10*10, 3600 is 60*60, so he would also like 900 which is 30*30.

what I want marms to answer is why the fluff in your bellybutton is always blue, and why despite taking a leak before you leave home you always need another immediately, and why the only time you leave your phone at home is the only time you need it :

I have studied each of these items in some depth and have come up with these answers,
Why is bully button fluff always blue?
Because the bellybutton releases blue gases from the Ink-gland and these gases dye the fluff, this blue gas cannot be smelled unless it is on your finger, in which case it smells little nasty, try poking your finger in and sniffing your finger afterwards. Although the gas is odourless its emanations can be heard and its noxious effects can be seen when a child or lady rests his or her head on your stomach and laughs at the noise then promptly falls asleep.
Why is it that the only time you leave your phone at home is the only time you need it?
This is related to the unnatural forces of nature that ensure that a wrong number is never engaged nor ignored. It is believed amongst my fellow eggheads that thought waves are sent by the originator of the message (you in the case of wrong numbers, the other person that wants to urgently contact you in the case of phones left at home) that psychically (sp?) tell the wrong number that he/shee needs to answer, or tells you that there is going to be an urgent call so you should leave your phone at home.
Why despite taking a leak before you leave home you always need another immediately?
You are incontinent. Seek medical advice.
I hope these explanations help you Warwick,

But then again, I've not slept in 2 days, so I'll read it again after I've caught up on some :sleeping: which is where I'm headed about now. Kids are sick with something spotty and tucked up in bed, may as well take advantage of the situation.

You need to rest your head with your nose right by a mans belly button (warning, do not consume the belly button fluff as Sudan 1 has been found in some samples).
