what's my IQ

[piranha]

hahahahahhahahahahahaha! yeah, right. the "official IQ test" says so!



also, your bad image matte looks horrible on my background, people.

[edit: requires account creation in order to see results. stupid.]

there was one question i liked (addendum -- i liked it because it got me to thinking in contorted ways, while none of the other questions were any fun at all):

determine the missing number: "car, glove, clock, sock," "4, 5, 12, ? "

"car, glove, clock, sock," "4, 5, 12, ? "
The average car contains 4 passengers.
The average glove contains 5 fingers.
The average clock contains 12 numbers.
The average sock contains 5 toes.

And the reason the sock question isn't "the average sock contains one foot" is because we're given the answer that they want the average glove to contain 5 fingers.

I actually had to train myself to think this way to get through school doing standardized tests. I had a tremendously painful period in my life where unfortunately I constantly responded "Not necessarily..." to almost every statement by anyone. Luckily I not only grew out of it relatively quickly, I learned to think of the alternatives and pick the one that was most likely the one normal people were looking for.

hahahahahaha! HOV lane designers everywhere have nightmares of this coming true.

Well damn, they aren't the ones into whose hearts I'm attempting to inject unbearable fear. It's the SUV designers I'm after.

I meant "is built to contain" but I've been thinking about that, and with the ridiculous numbers of SUVs on the road it may not be true.
