atinymonkey Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Before anyone say's it, I know IQ tests are subjective assessments of intelligence. However, it's still fun to take part. Last year I took it with a hangover, just to find out how much your IQ drops the day after drinking. I got about 119 and fell asleep on my desk, drooling on the keyboard http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation/ Fun to take part though, see what the average is. You even get to email your results to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I've noticed though that if you take an American IQ test you get a higher mark than a European one - are they set differently or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 IQ test are adjusted for culture, and obviously you won't score as well taking the wrong test. If you were European, the US test would make you out to be worse than the European ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 daisy is European. I think that was her point. The US test should have scored her the same or less than a European. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the GardenGnome Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 IQ test are fun but it is just how well you do in the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 I suppose what I was trying to say (badly) was that I thought the US test was easier (is that bad news for George Dubya Bush??!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHinfcube22 Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Jeez, that IQ test sucks, I got 77. The american one I had 151-186. I don't think I like BBC anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 I got 130 on the BBC test. It's 24 points higher than the average Joe in this region so I can now feel validated in my sneering. I'm sure I can do better though. I found myself running out of time on some of the questions that should have been easy because... ahem... my attention drifted.
