Answers to IQ test
Answers and explanations
Unfortunately, I didn't write this test, I don't know where it comes from, and how accurately it predicts your intelligence. Also, (and I am terribly sorry to sound bitchy) I have already received emails disagreeing with the answers to every single question. Thanks for all your emails but you don't have to sent me another one. I hope that you enjoyed the test.
1.  SNAKE         All the others have legs; the others are mammals.
2.  ANIMAL      "BARBIT" = RABBIT.
3.  D                 The triangles and squares change place, and the vertical figure becomes horizontal.

5.  B                 Since this is a reverse comparison, the solid line triangle is the reverse of the broken                           line square.
6.  16                John's brother is 4. In 4 years the brother will
                        be 8, and John will be 16 or twice as old.

28. 25%           Example: A $1.00 item reduced 20% will sell for 80cent. To sell it at $1 .00 again,                             you must increase the price 20%. 20cent is 25% of 80cent.

SCORING INSTRUCTIONS
First, based on the correct answers above, count how many you got correct. Locate that number in the correct age column, then directly to the right in the last column (I.Q. column), you will locate your correct I.Q. rating.

For example, if you are 12 years old and had 32 answers correct, you locate 32 in the 12 year column and you will find that you have an I.Q. rating of 118. Example 2: If you are 26 years old and had 43 correct answers, your IQ is 122.

August 9th, 2009 announcement:
On Friday, August 7th, I lost my wonderful and brave father. He fought pancreatic cancer until the very end and I will miss him always.

Instead of flowers, I know that my dad, Soren, would have wanted for as much money as possible to go into research efforts in the area of pancreatic cancer. The average survival rate of this little known cancer is a mere five months at the moment. My five siblings and I know that with more research into early diagnosis and different treatment options, these grim statistics can be improved.

Please help us reach our
fundraising target in memory of our beloved dad.

With love always, Jens, Lars, Susanne, Louise, Johanne and Julie
THE MEANING OF I.Q.
I.Q. or intelligence quotient is a general assessment of your ability to think and reason. Your I.Q. score is actually an indication of how you compare in this ability with the majority of people in your age group. A rating of 100, for example, means that, as compared to the majority of other people in your age group, you have a normal rate of intelligence: Most psychologists consider those failing in the range of 95-105 as having a normal or average I.Q. Since it is difficult to pinpoint with absolute accuracy, your actual I.Q. may vary 5 points either way from your test score. In addition, there are many factors that may effect your scoring. If you are tired, ill or distracted, your score will be aff ected. Finally, there are many abilities which are not measured by I.Q. testing. For example, I.Q. does not measure musical talent, manual dexterity, or a variety of other abilities. However, I.Q. testing does give you an important indication of your ability to think, reason and solve problems. This is critical to your success in life.
