I got a 111. Looking at that test, and then seeing my results, reminded me of why I did so poorly in geometry. I have a hard time with spatial relationship stuff. (I often visualize directions the exact opposite of the way they are, like my brain has a built-in mirror.) Itā€™s okay, though, as Iā€™ve gotten older, Iā€™ve discovered Iā€™m not nearly as smart as I thought I was. ---

I would like to state that I took the regular IQ test and while I shall withhold my score, I would like to state that the number would allow me to either run for political office or be a humor columnist. ---

157, with most of part 4 being educated guesses (like, I knew what _one_ part of the result should be) and one outright guess. I think itā€™s the fairest test anybody has ever administered. This test is the one true measure of intelligence. ;). ---

Made one silly mistake by not looking closely at all the answer choices. I went over the answers, 167 is the highest possible. It also seems like answering a question wrong is the same as choosing i donā€™t know. Guess they want you to avoid guessing with penalizing you. ---

Urkā€¦91. I know Iā€™m not terribly good at spatial stuff, but I donā€™t think I realized just how bad. Of the last two pages, I think there was only one problem to which I did not respond, ā€œI donā€™t know.ā€ First page was pretty straightforward, thoughā€¦whizzed through a few, said, Whoa, this is easy! Iā€™m much stronger verbally, and found myself talking my way through some of the ones on the second page: ā€œLetā€™s see, they turn it ninety degrees to the right, then another ninety degreesā€¦ā€ ---
