Yeah, you’re pretty smart. You’re reading this! TC and EB took this test and you can guess who got the highest score! Sorry, EB. At least you look better! Ahem….
Unlike some IQ tests, this test won’t take you a day and a half to complete. It’s only 12 questions, but that may be enough. Some of the questions may seem easy – but are you sure?
Here’s what this week’s site of the week is all about, straight from the horse’s mouth:
“Test Your Brain
How smart are you? Take this quick test to peek inside the power of your brain. The test is adapted from the Mensa test by Dr. Abbie Salny and America Mensa Ltd., copyright 1992 and 2004. It can be found on page 98 of “You: The Owner’s Maual (sic).”
Now folks, week take a beating every week from grammarians who subscribe to this newsletter just for our humorous abuse of the English language. But, explain to us why, a big site like ABC News which rakes in zillions from Cialis commercials, can’t afford an editor with a spell checker. Look, this is about intelligence – you’d think they’d spell “Manual” correctly. Even my el cheapo Front Page spell checker caught it.
Anyway, see if you can beat our scores, um I mean TC’s score. Send us your score and we’ll tell you if you beat TC.
Take the test and see how smart you are. And while you’re there, how about dropping them a note and tell them now to spell “manual”. You guys sure don’t mind correcting us.
Our Cloudeight site pick today is “How smart are you?” – it’s part of the ABC News family.Go and show them how smart our subscribers are.
Don’t let us down now!
I scored a 9. Missed 3,4 and 7 The other 9 were pretty simple.
LMBO, what does “Now folks, week take” mean?
Scored 6 – essentialy American questions let me down.
Only scored 10 but spent a long time on # 5 with the syllables. Knew it had to do with syllables, but factored it wrong. I had 30 because 1 syllable was 10, 2 syllables was 20 and on my notes I had said that 4 syllables was 40–so I figured 3 would be 30. Which proves you need to check your blinking notes! NEVER DID # 7 about the hairy body parts. LOL The easiest one was Sequoia since I’m one of the original tree huggers. Second easiest was Cholesterol. Took a lot longer on the coins, and laughed hardest at the spy message. Thanks for sending this one!
