Link2 Has a fun little 32 question "IQ test". It is a timed test, so quick work is rewarded. (IMO the test is also pretty generous, this is the 'net after all... its not a real IQ test)

Yeah, I read the topic on human bias in controversial subjects... cheesey

<brag> And of course I had to establish a high score of 160 for everyone else to knock down wink </brag>
1229931167 1262 FT0 Ir



So lets see your results!


Edit: Just out of curiosity, I have deduced the highest possible score is 164 (fairly sure).

Second edit: Had one error in my !n solve (it was 2am!), the max score looks to be 166 the answers are:
Highlight to read: tftftttftt fttttfffft ttttfttttt ft

Ok so I'll admit, I got 143 first try (at 3am after drinks + nap + insomnia).

Now to go on a tangent, Skunkworks did a !n solve to get his max test 164. Now the IQ test script uses the server time and issues it as POST data when you first load the test, when you click submit it sends each radio button's T/F info, plus the server time initially given. I took Skunkwork's T/F results and tried different time values by modifying the POST data.

Taking longer decreases the test score, taking shorter and shorter amounts of time does not increase the score at all. This is a time-penalizing test, not a time-rewarding test when you already have all the answers correct (contrary to what the test claims).

SPOILER FOLLOWS (Highlight to reveal):
The test answers are: tttftttftt fttttfffft ttttfttttt ft
SPOILER ENDS

Edit: Upon further thought, the fact that Skunkworks did the !n solve, and the fact that I picked it apart and fiddled with the POST data probably means we are smarter than the test believes.
Second edit: Trying all true gives 116...

Did half of it and then did false for the rest and got 108 still cheesey. Actually, that sounds pretty sad.

Btw, you guys are smart :). Hehe, my real IQ score, as in REAL IQ is 126. Maybe not as good as i hoped :) DX

Dont worry Arcstarter If you did a real IQ test and scored 126 then your in the small group of people to the right of that in this graph;

Look at all the people dumber than us! My IQ is 124 using the "test the nation" IQ test my country did when I was 15, So it might be higher now because the test is designed for adults.
