10 Second IQ test

This is pretty interesting:http://www.vidmax.com/video/536/The_ten_second_IQ_test/

Just 4 for me.

It is interesting. I only found 3 the first time. We naturally skip over "of"s and "the"s and "and"s when reading because essentially, our brain is already knows they are there. There was actually a big study on this a while back and it has nothing to do with IQ in reality - the people that find less "F"s are actually probably more practiced readers.

I got them all ... butt eye dunt think eye be a genyous or nuttin thogh.

 

[croseiv]

I got all six, but I pressed the pause button...

 

[Alex2507]

Just 4 for me.

I only got three so that guy is telling me my I.Q. is average
but his sister sucked down 20 points last night alone.

 

[Adam]

I also got four. It took me a few reads to get number five, and then (even though I knew it was there) I had to read a few more times to find the sixth one.

 

[annunaki]

all 6 for me

 

[pzaur]

Five for me!

[avaserfi]

All 6, but anyone who thinks this sort of test has anything to do with IQ is really grasping at straws. The very notion of 'real' tests like the SAT/ACT and others are troublesome enough when it comes to IQ testing. In fact, the very concept of IQ testing is pretty much a joke considering the various biases ingrained within these tests. I shouldn't complain though, I score off the charts for whatever it is worth .

 

[Adam]

...I score off the charts for whatever it is worth .

Yeah, but in which direction?

 

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, but in which direction?

Ouch - that's gonna leave a mark.

 

[Adam]

Ouch - that's gonna leave a mark.

Eh, he knows that I'm kidding! Heck, I can't actually make fun of him - I only found four of those "F"s.

 

[avaserfi]

Yeah, but in which direction?

You've hurt my feelings.... off to deal with my sorrow. To the beer thread!

Edit: You only counted 4?!?

I was told wayyyyy back in High School after an IQ test that I was near genius IQ by the school counselor and she asked me why I wasn't applying myself in my schoolwork (I was admittedly a mediocre student). I told her that I was "saving my brains for college"... she didn't quite see the humor in that..

I just spent a half-hour on the "MENSA Workout" just to see if I've lost much over the years - surprisingly I did pretty well but a couple of them really taxed my tired old brain...

Your score was 25 out of 30. That is an excellent score—you would have a very strong chance of passing the Mensa test and joining Mensa.

Please note that the Mensa Workout is NOT the official Mensa test, and your score will not qualify or disqualify you for membership.

Try this if you wanna see how you stack up.

[emorphien]

Yeah, but in which direction?

Did you know you can have a negative IQ score?

[mike c]

Your score was 0 out of 30. If you had a bad day, try again.
