Cant Hackett Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I had to subtract 4 for being a Jets fan for as long as I have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 It said my score is 131 but it didn't say how many I got right...or maybe it did but I'm just not smart enough to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob D Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 26 for me. 8) I got 33 So what was the answer to number 31? 6 B to an O in C (Hint: I know it and Gainzo should know it too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickkotite Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 that thing is bogus. i got 17 in a minute or two, but there is no time limit. 19 is a genius? no way maybe 30. then it says that 5-8 is intelligent. well, my dog could get 5. these mensa retards are just a bunch of self serving bores who lack confidence in themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be in fact a genius, but if you have had no exposure to cricket you would not get this ever. It proves nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickkotite Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 It like when the us govt started using standardized tests in ww2 to decide who gets the deadly job and who becomes the leader. They had, for example, a drawing of a tennis court with no net. an officer-to-be would know to draw the net, but some back woods cracker ass rural bumpkin who never heard of tennis and certainly never saw a tennis court in his life gets the task of clearing mines. remember, this was the early 40's before TV the bumkin could be brilliant, but the test would never reveal it.....

Sharrow Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 28 for me. Apparantly the only real geniuses in the world are devout christians from South Africa who play cricket, soccer, golf, poker, and rugby, are big fans of Robert Lewis Stevenson, and have an aesthetic love for the american flag. Maybe if it was provinces in Canada I might have been able to pull it out of my ass, but South Africa? And who plays cricket, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob D Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I agree with dk, this test isn't a good indication of intelligence. If you have the basic ability to recognise abbreviations and you know a few phrases, then you should be able to get most of them. It's more a test of general knowledge than intelligence. Plus I'm sure the reason I got so many is because I have seen several of these tests before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 got my 19 in about 6 minutes, then quit. not counting the cricket one guys gave away...and I never would have got that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
