Quiz Completed
Thank you for completing this quiz.
You scored 100%!


Not quite as good as it may look. Most of them are old questions. Some of them were actually questions that we were asked in school (the ones in metric, weren't).

 

Neither! 73%

Was that a "When did you stop beating your wife?" type question?

I've met a lot of very brainy people that would have trouble tying their shoelaces!!!!

On the other hand! I'll never forget what an older stall holder told me whem I used to work in the markets. He was very poorly educated, couldn't read or write properly but was very well off - and enjoyed life. A group of us were discussing what would happen if the government collected in all the money in the country and then distributed it equally amongst everyone (it was a slow market day ).

His comment was "I don't care. Within six months I'll be rich again. You can find a mug anywhere!"

 

I got it right because it came up in a TV quiz programme a little while back.

 

I enjoy doing IQ type questions and do well at them.

In my opinion: most of the time (but not all), if you score well in IQ tests it shows that you're good at doing IQ tests and not, necessarily, that you are brighter than other people.

Having said that, there are special IQ tests that are much more accurate and don't rely on educational standards. They're called Culture Fair tests.

Even the Culture Fair tests vary quite a lot in difficulty.
This is a more difficult one of them - you can google for others if you're masochistic
