dynamicdebz Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have done my I.Q on line loads of times & me & my partner always do test the nation when its on TV like tonight. Everytime I get 111 for my I.Q its been the same for years. My fella always gets around 100 (absolute average). My fella is 7 years younger than me, so he's not always in the same age bracket as me which means I usually have to get a lot more right than him to get the score I usually get. When we did it tonight (it was on TV) I had had 1 brandy too many & I ended up having an I.Q of 97, my fellas was 102. I was devastated! Have I suddenly got that dim in the past 12 months? I must say we now come in the same age bracket & he got 4 more questions right than me. There wasn't the normal set of questions, it was all about jigsaws & pictures, no maths or english type questions. I don't mind my fella having a higher I.Q. than me but I am depressed that my I Q has dropped from 111 to 97! Oh & the fact that we take the quiz very seriously & have a little bet on it. I have got to do his supper now & he gets to decide on our bedroom activites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blip Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Well done to your fella, I suspect I can guess his choice of 'activity'. However, I just don't understand why anyone would do an IQ test. Precisely what does it achieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarby Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Precisely what does it achieve? To determine whether or not you're a Dunce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 IQ tests are rubbish. I did one once and it said I had an IQ of 365 but whenever I go to the pub and drink beir I sudenly loose the capasity 4 speach and end up eating fried egg sandwiches.

kookymonster Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 IQ tests tell you how good you are at IQ tests. They aren't a true indication of intelligence I'm afraid. Good for you at doing well though, it proves you value learning and intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I don’t have an I.Q. to boast about — but having studied at the University of Life I reckon if I did I’d have something to keep quiet about. I know a lot about some things but very little about others. Average, I’d say. A bean and a half, a bean and a half, half a bean and a bean and a half = 5. And two and two occasionally adds up to four — unless you’re a politician. Then it becomes more of statistic, like 80 per cent of all politicians produce 93 per cent of all statistics.

Shiesh Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I did the 'Test the Nation - National IQ Test' online last night from the BBC!!! I scored IQ 115 which I thought was great considering I had drank a whole bottle of wine and was feeling pretty tipsy!!!! You can still take part in the test - it will be available for another couple of weeks!! In fact I might try it again sober!!
