![]() Thought some of you would like this. It's a pretty good IQ test I think. There is a link to it on Slashdot here. |

![]() The .aspx makes me trepidatious (y'know on top of the usual 'IQ' hullabaloo [and the likelihood that the more stupid a person is, the less likely they'll ever get to the quiz (or the possibility that the more smart a person is, the less likely they'll ever bother with the quiz [etc., 2∞])]). |

![]() Relies much more on trivia than some IQ tests I've seen. |

![]() Your right, I only got 4 questions I'd regard as being IQ-like questions. |

![]() I tried it again and it asked me |

![]() It's certainly not a good IQ test. Intelligence is all about pattern recognition, not knowledge. You can be extremely intelligent but know next to nothing. You can know very much but still not be intelligent. |
Maniac (V) Inmate From: zero divided. |
![]() I didn't even bother, sorry. That's a general knowledge quiz, but if there's not a few pints to be had, and a decent pot to be won, it's not worth cheating on. :P (teehee) |

![]() First question I got asked was when the first Olympics was held. Like liorean said, there's a big difference between knowledge and intelligence. Although, to be frank, I think "knowledge" is giving the quiz too much credit. I think reisio hit the nail on the head: the date of the first Olympics is "trivia." |

![]() I'd say that trivia IS knowledge. It's just as much knowledge as basic math and logic. The ability to see where they are appropriate to use and ability to apply them, that's pattern recognition, i.e. intelligence. The main difference in trivia is, there is no practical application of that knowledge. |

![]() Well, yes, trivia is indeed a type of knowledge. |
