Daily Trivia Quiz

[Jack Lurker]

Havent bothered with the Mensa test yet, i'm way too thick for that stuff!! I think I will stick to the quiz, I know lots of useless trivia!!!

[Jack Lurker]

I just had a go at the IQ test. Took me bloody ages and it cant be right because theres no way i'm a genius. Anybody get the right answers for the ones I got wrong? I really cant think of anything else for them!

[TNT]

You got them right, just didn't spell them correctly.

Here are the answers to it for people if they want. i got about 21/33 i think.
4 i thought were wrong but mis-spelled.

I got 26/33 in about an hour. I didn't get the cricket one as I know nothing about it. I also didn't get the 3 blind mice one either.

[LT. Columbo]

i didn't get those either. i know nothing of cricket, africa, or the new testament. actually the mice one i guessed the "blind mice" but didn't know what the rest was. never heard of it. i think a true IQ test is more practical in judging ones intellect though, but it was fun

maybe all the mensa's are from the british empire

sorry nwg, my post was poorly written. i knew the nursery rhyme, just never heard of the last 4 correct words in the brackets.

this IQ test is real and free--i'm in the middle of it now. some of this is quite hard. maybe someone will dare?

too easy

edit: a similar test to the weishler(sp) adult intelligence test

[LT. Columbo]

pretty damn good wookie. with that IQ you are still taking orders from han. i lost my bloody internet connection and have to start all over. how long did it take you?

[Chewy]

I didn't time it, but after sitting 2 hours in a testing center in college with a professional tester/counselor very long ago, I felt quite at home, they stop watch everything, don't worry about repeating those kind of tests they are designed very professionally. You won't do much better with repeated efforts, but concentrating and getting used to using those entropied brain cells again will help. I went thru a lower school system where such tests were taken very seriously, much like germany and japan today.
Since i haven't done one in 30 years, that was a treat. Thanks

[LT. Columbo]

didn't know this was going to be a treat--but you're welcome. all you others reading this; take the test and see what you got....i'll post mine tomorro.

[Chewy]

time doesn't matter, I retook the test, missed the same 2 answers,
in half the time, same score.
