How bright am I?

Had a quiet bank holiday. Slept most of today, messed about online.

And took part in Test The Nation: The national IQ Test on BBC1. I usually end up watching these things, but give up taking part at home.

But this time, I had my digibox so took part on that.

I probably wasn’t firing on all cylinders due to staying up all night playing various Zelda games (didn’t get to sleep till midday), so, how did it go?

Round 1 was Observation. I’m not the best in the world at this type of thing, so I wasn’t too surprised that I only got 6 out of 13.

Round 2 was memory. Those of you who know me will know that my memory is, in general, crap. So I was stunned when I got 14 answers right out of a possible 15. Still not sure which one I got wrong though.

Logic was the third round. I can be quite logical (really) but only if given a fair amount of time to think about things. But, I still got 8 out of 14.

Ahh. Round 4. Reasoning. I know I’m a reasonable guy, but my reasoning skills? 6 out of 9. Not bad.

And finally, Perception and some more observation questions. This was 2 seperate rounds, but thet were grouped together for the scores. And I got 15 out of 19.

Giving me an overall score of 49 out of 70.

To work out my IQ, I had to look for my score on the table then look across to my age group and read off my IQ.

My IQ is 97. I realise that it is not actually scientific (the top score anyone could get was 145), but still, not bad.

As a bonus, not only was Scotland the top country, but Aberdeen was joint top for cities in Britain!

I am wondering how well this guy would have done.

Now to follow the instructions on my whiteboard and get to work on my script.

97 is average, actually. When I was in Psych last semester, we were taught that anything from about 90 to 110 is average, 111-120 is above average, 120-140 is superior, and anything over 145 is genius. And that almost 98% of all people fall into the 90-110 category. ~

Ohh, I did that IQ thingamy as well and managed 117, though I felt that just the act of watching that pile of guff would reduce most people’s IQ score anyway.
