While I’m here, I might as well vent. Here’s a couple questions from 20 years ago I still remember:
Pictures of two fans A and B, identical except one has three blades, the other has five. Q: Which will use more power? It didn’t say whether the fan roation speed was held constant, or whether the amount of wind blown was held constant. I’m pretty sure possible choices were A, B, or “both equal”. I don’t believe “not enough information” was one of the choices.
Pick the best synonym for evade:
avoid elude <three other choices I don’t remember>
I know the answer to this one now (I think), but it bugged me then.
emode 122
iq 139
Why the big difference? Am I stupider the longer I take a test?
Iq is trying to sell you something, so I guess making you seem smarter is just a marketing tool.
And I so wanted to be a genius.

Really–deer because it’s got four letters! Give me a break and go back to to test-design class. If a bunch of intelligent people can come up with at least two valid alternative answers to your question, it’s back to the drawing board folks.
I scored a 167 on emode and a 133 on iqtest, which makes me think that I probably shouldn’t have sniffed all of that glue in between the 2 tests.

Well, I got a 138 on the iqtest! Wahooooo!!!
There must have been a mistake, I demand a recount! I’ll take the other one later, when I’ve got more time.

http://www2.iqtest.com/view/iqtest/options/000303/9521137049641 I scored a 161 on the above. I don’t know if the link will work. The one that the psychologist gave me in middle school told me that I had an IQ of 184. I take absolutely no faith in IQ tests as an accurate measure of a persons intelligence. The only thing it really tests is how well you take tests on a particular subject. For the record I have scored as low as 128 and as high as 208 on various IQ tests.
Yup, I reversed the 2 tests. I guess this means I am smart, but with no practical abilities. Might as well call me Mr. Vos Savant.

ReservoirDog, FYI, the eland is a medium-sized antelope type creature to be found only in parts of Africa. Don’t have the time to research it more for you right now, that’s what I know about them. Think they’re kinda cute, actually.

i got 140 on the emode test and 170 on the iqtest.
but, while i was taking the tests, my 7 year old son came home from school and dragged in 4 of his little friends. i was distracted… i don’t think either of those scores are accurate
