I took an IQ test from Tickle.com It was longer than I expected, but I eventually got through it, Sometimes I just didn’t even bother trying to figure out the answer… like with one question about two people going in opposite directions and how far apart would they be — blah, blah, blah. A mathemetician I’m not, soooo I just didn’te even bother.  I guessed. But check out my results! Pretty cool, nonetheless.

Congratulations, Lu!
Your IQ score is 120

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 Word Warrior. This means you have exceptional verbal skills. You can easily make sense of complex issues and take an unusually creative approach to solving problems. Your strengths also make you a visionary. Even without trying you’re able to come up with lots of new and creative ideas. And that’s just a small part of what we know about you from your test results.

But I had no idea what these numbers meant, so I went a-huntin’ on google and came up with  this:

Intelligence testing is a form of psychological testing of an individual’s capacity to learn and deal effectively with his/her environment. IQ (intelligence quotient) is the score of an intelligence test.
The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale is the most widely used individually administered intelligence test (IQ test) for adults. It comprises of 11 subtests made up of six verbal subtests and five performance subtests. It yields three IQ (intelligence quotient) scores: Verbal Scale IQ, Performance Scale IQ, and Full Scale IQ. A scale for children ages 5 through 15 years is called WISC — Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and a scale for children ages 4 to 6* years is called WPPSI–Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Classification of Intelligence according to IQ scores….   

Normal
90 to 110

Bright normal
110 to 120

Superior
120 to 130

Very superior
130 and above

Cool! I scored on the border of "Bright Normal" and "Superior". Another site I found said, "One could reasonably equate "bright normal" with "smart," and "very superior" with "genius."

Wow. I just might be on the cusp of "genius". Of course, this is just from an internet test, but still…. makes me feel pery darn good about myself. 🙂
