Online IQ tests
"Congratulations, Lana!
Your IQ score is 141
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 Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results."

Hmmm. Well I wonder what the folks at "tickle" are using for a control group. Is it other online users who take the test? Or is it a random group of people that have been tested in a variety of environments....
I think that I blew one or two of the math questions, but who knows? Without ordering a more indepth report, they don't really give you a sense of what questions were not answered correctly. The summary of my "intellectual type" is accurate, though. I am generally far stronger in the linquistics/spatial categories than I am Math. I generally don't put a lot of stock into standardized I.Q. tests because I think that there is so much more to "Intellegence" than being able to answer questions on a form. I'm thinking of people who have little formal education but are able to do amazing things with their lives. I wonder how Peter Jennings would have scored....
