When people get their horoscope back most are amazed at the insight into their lives. It is only later that it is revealed that everyone received the exact same horoscope.

Well at least it comes up with different reports:
Your IQ score is 136

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.

Damn you beat me! I got a 44. I'm happy with it.

[Darkside]

What does is mean that I'm a "Visual Mathmetician"? Well, that kinda sounds like Bike Mechanic.

I got a 138, but I didn't give myself more than 5 seconds for each question. Does the test tell if I have ADD?

136. Those damn blocks and figures threw me off. Like AD, i too am a Facts Curator. Is there good money in that ?

"This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates."

heh.

I'm gonna take it again and guess randomly and see what happens.

I was just thinking the same thing, but I'm going riding. Maybe later.

I am supposedly an Insightlful Linguist.
"highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist.." Blah, Blah, Blah.
How come I am such a sucky speller then?

Just did it again randomly - took 30 seconds and hit the answers without looking. Came up with a 77 - that seems high.

They're so diplomatic:

"Your Intellectual Type is Inventive Inquisitor. You have the unusual distinction of being equally good at math and verbal skills. This means you are a creative thinker and are uniquely good at teaching others through experiences. You are also a great improviser and very good at handling change. "

Hey, I am an Insightful Linguist too! I think this is another term for Bullshit Artist. Damn, this is right on the money!

[sandytheskier]

I don't know how being a fire fighter makes me an artsy thinker. Now I think this test is bullshit.

Hey!
Give me a chance, man, I'm gonna shit everywhere [yet another sentence I could never have predicted I would one day type].

I would have been here sooner, but it took me a few hours to finish that test. Hard!

Plato was supposedly gay and Aristotle was his pupil.

How the hell could an i.q. test tell that you were a cunning linguist?

Sally likes 225 but not 224; she likes 900 but not 800; she likes 144 but not 145. Which does she like:

1600 or 1700

what the hell? This is the question that blew me out of the mensa range. lil help guys.

[Buster Highmen]

What's an Intelligence Quotient? Is that where the upstairs is divided by the downstairs? We figure out how many little heads fit in the big head?

That's one that confused the hell out of me too, but my numbers were different.

[The AD]

In case Buster's square comment was too obtuse (!), Sally likes numbers that are squares, e.g. 1600 is 40^2. Heck, I'm like Sally. I mean who could possibly like 800 over 900? That's crazy talk.

[snowsprite]

I just guessed the answer to that one because I was getting a headache trying to understand why Sally would possibly like a number.

math, damnit, who could have guessed that math would be an important thing to know. - boy if I could go back to elementary I would SO not drop out.

142 Woot!

I am a visionary philosopher. Sadly a search at Hotjobs doesn't show any openings.

Bastardos got a pretty sweet scam going, making people feel smart and then asking them to buy a report that 'proves' it. In reality I'm as dumb as a shoe and drunk to boot.
