Congratulations, Thom!
Your IQ score is 131
This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Emode's Ultimate IQ Test.
During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. To determine your ability in these areas, we compared your answers to those given by the 6.5 million people who have taken Emode's Ultimate IQ Test.
The even better news is that Emode has taken intelligence assessment a step further than the rest, offering you insight no other IQ test can give. We have developed a reliable statistical algorithm that analyzes patterns in your responses to determine the unique way that your brain functions, revealing your Intellectual Type.
Our analyses indicate that your Intellectual Type is: Visual Mathematician. This means that among other things, you have superior skills in mathematics and spatial reasoning.
Yeah, mathematician my butt. That's the one subject I consistently flunked in school!

I'm a Facts Curator :P
Hmmm. Depending on which IQ test I take it goes anywhere from 132-160.
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
DAM! I can never take these test on e-mode because it says my email account has already been used. :-/ I took the test but can't get my results :'(
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
127
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
138.
It states I'm a "visionary philosopher" or some mumbo-jumbo like that ::)
Last time I took this I scored higher. I supposed there was some info "spill-over" since the last time :P I blame physics for that.

The even better news is that at Emode, we've taken your IQ test one step further. During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We were able to analyze how you did on each set of those questions, which allows us to shed light on the way your brain uniquely functions.
At the same time, we compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Visionary Philosopher.
The first thing we can tell you about that is you're equally good at mathematical and verbal tasks, and learn best through experience. But that's just scratching the surface.

Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
I despise these things, but I did it anyway. I got a 138. But last time I took an online IQ test, which was last August, I got a 167. I guess eighth grade has made me even dumber. ::)
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
That doesn't make any sense. My IQ dropped from when I was a little kid (145), but your drop doesn't make any sense. I'm wondering if the first site was a scam site (tell you that you're smart and get you to buy something for smart people).
I'm just shooting my mouth off. Maybe the first one was right and the second one is rigged just so our self-esteems are hurt. Maybe IQ's are difficult to measure to begin with.
Just ignore me, I'm ranting.

The first thing we can tell you about that is you have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. But that's just scratching the surface.
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
Not to throw cold water on these very impreeive results, but Albert Einstien's IQ score was lower than what you guys are being scored at - his was likein the 150's. This is not to say that you are not bright, just don't get cocky over this foolish test. It has about as much validity as "your pirate name" on the playful page. A sample question.
What color is a banana?
1) yellow
2) red
3) motled
4) green
5) all of the above

Yes, I agree that these scores may not be accurate, and I don't nessecarily believe them, but I don't remember anyone being cocky about their score.

The correct answer would be 5, BTW ;)

I refuse to enable cookies for most other sites on the net, so I probably wouldn't be able to take this test. Oh well. Ignorance IS bliss. 8)
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
The scores arent accurate cause I took that test a few months ago and got a 138 and I took a real IQ test while I was in High School and scored a 128. So this online test makes your IQ higher than it really is.
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
Not mine... mine becomes a lot lower, but only because I'm hopeless at the practical visuo-cognative things.

Right!, and since it was the only question on my IQ test, you got a perfect score! ;D
Have you ever had the big green ones (plantains) fried into what we PR's call "tostones"? Makes my mouth water just thinking about them. :P

I've had them cooked, but I don't remember what they were called, and I don't think they were fried ???. They were definitely YUMMY, though. :)

My girlfriend is Carribean and we eat plantains flatened and fried all the time. My favorite is boiling them and having them with scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
Now...
If you wait for the plantains to turn yellow (ripe) and then slice them up and fry them, they become "amarillos"! :D
Those are awesome. :)
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
We make them as "Plantain Flambe" and serve it with ice cream & caramel. mmm mmm good! :P

No real suprise in the "Intellectual Type" area. I'm not sure if the number it gave me is good or bad, and I'm not really worried about it.

And later, I get the following email from Emode:
Did you know?
71% of Insightful Linguists would be more tempted to see their main squeeze covered in whipped cream, than eat an ice cream sundae covered in whipped cream.
While I'm not necessarily disputing the validity of this claim...what is this? Their desperate attempt at getting me to pay the $15 or whatever to get my 15 page report??? /ponder
;D
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
Funny. After I took that IQ test, I have gotten 3 offers from them to help me lose weight. ::) How do they know what I look like? Did one of you penguins send them my picture? :'(
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
Oh wow, you guys gave them your REAL email address?? Oh, I NEVER do that. I have a hotmail account whose sole purpose is to be used for anything filled out online, so all spam goes there...
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
Well, the last time I took that test (about a year ago?) I got like a 133. I took a different one and got 136. So I guess that's pretty good. :P
Subject: Re: Anyone taken the IQ test?
UUUUUGH!!!!!
I got 106!!
