A few of us took online ones at work one day. I don't believe for a second that the results were acurate as we ranged between 121 and 132. I've never taken a real IQ test.

I've done a few IQ tests. I usually get most or all of the questions right, but 100% generally gives about 160 for my age etc. I like to assume it's over 9000  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

I haven't done an iq test since I was about twelve. I fear I've killed an awful lot of brain cells since then.

My psychology tutor believed your IQ score showed how good you are at IQ tests, nothing else.

Quite so. The IQ measure is entirely abstract. It's only at all useful as a comparative measure and it really doesn't mean much in the real world. It's generally only used within the experimental community as a general measure and tends to be used as 'grouping' device i.e. if you need to do some sort of logic or reasoning experiment, you give everyone an IQ test and use the results as a way to balance the subject group vs. the control group. Psychologists almost never use IQ as a measure of something of itself. This is actually the way things tend to go with any psychometric test. They're initially designed by experimental psychologists to serve a very specific purpose but some nerk in human resources takes a brief look at them and decides they're actually useful aptitude tests (they're not. ever.) If you ever go for a job interview and you get given a psychometric test that is in anyway part of the selection process, I'd advise you not to take the job. The people you may be working for have no clue what they're doing.

Yes, it's normal. Women confuse at the best of times. Just go with it. Mark

I have now got legal number plates on the car.
Paper work being sent to the Rozzers, MOT stamped and everything (although the Station that did the stamp didn't see anything wrong with the last set...)
