Ow, my head

Just did the IQ test that the BBC used for their "Test the Nation" show and scored 130, which will do me just fine, especially the way I feel right now.

You can take a look here. The averages IQ by salary is particularly amusing.

Oh, good lord - just checked the "age adjustment tables" and it turns out I couldn't have scored over 137 (which is where my results usually place me). If you take a look here and I tell you that I scored 63/70 that it's just not feasible for me to score as well as people who are older or younger than me.

gah. i got the same score as you. and i'm not even sick or recovering. having those time limits is stresssfull. gah.

the first part nearly stumped me, about which BBC region i'm from, and which city is nearest to me... definitely not geared towards non-brits. especially with that question about june or jan being warmer. maybe i've skewed their results now, having chosen the West region and Belfast... they should have planned for some non-Brits taking their test.

i can understand them giving older people higher scores, as perhaps they would be less dexterous/less speedy on their clicks. Not sure about why the younger ones get higher scores though, too.

heh. yeah, the smartest people know how to live without earning money.

sheesh. now sulking elefants, tiny cats, tattered dresses, etc are imprinted in my brain.
