I understand that on June 9th at 7pm Central Time the Fox network will run a two-hour program called Test The Nation. This is based on a popular program by the same name that has aired in England over the past few years.
So you think you’re IQ smart? How about taking this National 2003 IQ test I found on the BBC site. BBC apparently sponsors the British version of the show. While I KNOW Dopers are smart as hell – I’ll still wager we will not see any 150 scores on this test! Each of the questions are timed and must be answered in about 10 - 15 seconds. There are 70 total questiuons. This is not your typical on-line IQ test.
Here’s the link to that BBC IQ test – for those who care and dare-

I should add that the average ON-LINE test taker score during the English version was about 105. Depending on the city it ranged from 103 to 107. Just so we don’t have too may bruised egos.
It would be helpful to note that this test (the Fox one) is for entertainment purposes only; however, American Mensa has assisted in the norming of this test. It should give you a good indication about how you would do on a real IQ test.

Language - 11/12
Memory - 11/12
Logic - 21/22
Numbers - 9/12 (Gad, I hate math)
Perception - 10/12 (I almost had 11 - I clicked the right answer just as time ran out)
Yay me!
Can’t compete.
118 (of an estimated 110),
Language: 9/12
Memory: 11/12
Logic: 18/22
Numbers: 9/12
Perception: 11/12
But then, English isn’t my first language…
Here is the breakdown:
Your IQ Score is 125 (you estimated 128)
Language 10 / 12
Memory 11 / 12
Logic 19 / 22
Numbers 12 / 12
Perception 9 / 12
To be fair (to myself, heh) I’m sure that I would have done slightly better, if English were my native language.
Oh, but it was a nice test.
I got a 117
Language: 10/12
Memory: 12/12
Logic: 18/22
Numbers: 8/12
Perception: 8/12
130 (estimated 120):
Language: 11/12
Memory: 12/12 (huge surprise - my memory sucks)
Logic: 18/22 (ran out of time just as I was going for a couple)
Numbers: 11/12 (I don’t even remember what I was being tested on in this section…see above about memory!)
Perception: 10/12
Not bad, considering I was taking this at work, with lots of distractions. And I have no idea how Bristish money works… 
Dang, I coulda sworn I was gonna get at least a 150. 
Not bad:
134 (estimated 127)
Language: 11/12
Memory: 12/12
Logic: 22/22
Numbers: 10/12
Perception: 11/12
I always hate quick mental arithmetic. I can’t do the stuff too quickly in my head (although I still got 10 correct :)) but I can figure it out on paper.
113
Gah! But then, the kids were bugging me during the visualization test–
Language–11/12
Memory–9/12
Logic–21/22
Numbers–9/12
Perception–4/12
I think we can all see where my downfall was.
125 (estimated 130)
Language: 10/12
Memory: 10/12
Logic: 21/22
Numbers: 11/12
Perception: 9/12
That was fun.
Overall: 134 (I guessed 115 – no confidence, I suppose)
Language: 12/12
Memory: 11/12
Logic: 21/22
Numbers: 10/12
Perception: 11/12
130 (estimated 120)
Language --- 11/12
Memory ----- 10/12
Logic ------ 19/22
Numbers ---- 10/12
Perception - 11/12
Only 113 (I fell down on numbers and perception) but I want to conrest the one that was based on a UK phone pad :).
Woo Hoo! 136! I didn’t keep track of what I got in each category, but I did the worst at the anagrams. I’ve always hated those…
Eric
How to solve multiple-choice anagrams: look at the answers and think of a related word, not the other way around!
Since the reported average was about 105, I guessed a 102, which was ridiculously low. No self-confidence I suppose :). I scored a 130, but I ran out of time on one of them - I clicked just as the timer went, and I didn’t get the score!
The breakdown: 12/12 languages, 12/12 memory (which is good, considering my username), 20/22 logic, 9/12 for numbers (gah I hate math!) and 10/12 for perception. I don’t know which I got wrong.
The standard UK phone one stumped me as well, until I assumed it was the same as here! What threw me, though, was the “A” placed at the 1 position, when everyone knows that A is on the 2!!
Neat test!
language 11/12
memory 12/12
logic 16/22
numbers 9/12
perception 8/12
total of 117…I have no excuse…I resign myself to that score
130, I estimated 140 (d’oh!)
I went pretty fast though, since I assumed time would be taken into account (well, yeah, the ones I missed were usually because I ran out of time, but oh well).
I wonder how accurately this lines up with actual IQ test measurments.
I also hope I didn’t skew their results for London. I couldn’t find Washington in their list of areas :wally
I got 103… wha? I know I’m not below average.
130, that could have been worse.
I estimated 108 - a bit too cautious, but I’ve had language turn around and bite me on this sort of test before. Good fun.
