IQ Test!

Since it's the weekends, I thought I would spam my blog with just one more post before I go practise my piano.. Here's an IQ test I just took. Hahas.. I'm above average after all! If you want to take the test, go to Tickle! IQ Test Your IQ score is: 133133 You scored 133 on Tickle's IQ test. This means that based on your answers, your IQ score is between 123 and 133. Most people's IQs are between 70 and 130. In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range. 68% of people score between 80 and 120. The following chart to your right, shows these percentages and where your IQ score is on that scale. There's more to intelligence than a single number, a single score or a single label. Tickle uses four distinguishable Intelligence Scales in the Ultimate IQ Test. By analyzing your individual scores on those four scales, we are able to look beyond the raw IQ score into how you process information and thereby determine your Intellectual Type. How do you relate to other IQ test takers? Your Intellectual Type Is: You have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information. These skills combined with your strengths in logic are what make you a Visual Mathematician. You're able to understand patterns visually and in numbers. That means your mind can create a mental picture for any problem. In addition to that skill, you possess an intelligence that allows you to apply math to that picture, too. That helps you manipulate multiple parts of the picture (or problem) to come up with a solution. You have many skills that are critical to success and problem-solving. Your talents help you understand the "big picture," which is partly why people may turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. You flourish in environments where tasks are clearly defined, and you are a whiz at improving processes and making things more efficient. Your ability to detect patterns and your skills in math and logic, make it natural for you to come up with ideas and theories that simplify processes for everyone. Outside of work, Visual Mathematicians tend to do well at strategic activities like chess. It must be that ability to recognize patterns — both as they are and how they develop. Regardless of how you put your mind to use, you've got a great set of talents. You will be able to envision a clear path and calculate the risks, and more importantly, the rewards, of anything you take on. Great Jobs For You Because of the way you process information, these are just some of the many careers in which you could excel: Physicists Chess player City planner Astronomer Physicists Mathematician Researcher Some of Your Greatest Talents You've got tons of strengths. It wouldn't surprise us if you: Can give practical application to abstract thought Can predict patterns Are resourceful & practical Envision the "big picture" Your 4 Intelligence Scales Now let's look at the factors that contribute to you being a Visual Mathematician with a 133 IQ score. Based on the results of your test, Tickle divided your scores into four distinguishable dimensions — mathematical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence and logic intelligence. Here's how each of your intelligence scores break down: Mathematical Intelligence Your Mathematical Percentile You scored in the 100th percentile on the mathematical intelligence scale.This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually. Your mathematical intelligence score represents your combined ability to reason and calculate. You scored relatively high, which means you're probably the one your friends look to when splitting the lunch bill or calculating your waitresses' tip. You may or may not be known as a math whiz, but number crunching might come a little easier to you than it does others. This is the kind of question that helped to determine your mathematical intelligence score: A boy is 4 years old and his sister is three times as old as he is. When the boy is 12 years old, how old will his sister be? 16, 20, 24, 28, 32. answer: 20. The sister is (3 )three times older than her (4) four-year-old brother. Three times 4 is 12, in other words, when he is four, she is 12. Twelve years old is 8 years older than 4 years old, which makes her 8 years older than him. This never changes. Therefore, when he is 12, she is still 8 years older, or 12+8=20. Flexing Your Math Muscles Like anything, keeping or improving your math talents requires practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that could be particularly helpful to you: Balancing your checkbook Figuring out your monthly budget Predicting what the change will be the next time you buy something Calculating your waitperson's tip in your head Visual-Spatial Intelligence Your Visual-Spatial Percentile You scored in the 100th percentile on the visual-spatial intelligence scale. This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually. The visual-spatial component of intelligence measures your ability to extract a visual pattern and from that envision what should come next in a sequence. Your score was relatively high, which could mean that you're the one navigating the map when you're on an outing with friends. You have, in some capacity, an ability to think in pictures. Maybe this strength comes out in subtle ways, like how you play chess or form metaphors. Here's the type of question that contributed to your visual-spatial intelligence score: is to as is to Answer: The answer lies in recognizing not only the visual sequence of a square and then a line, but in the recognizing the solidity of the line in the first example and the broken quality of the line in the second example. Vision Quest Like anything, keeping or improving visual-spatial talents requires some practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that will be particularly helpful to you: Playing chess, or video games like Tetris Studying maps and become the navigator on your next trip Sculpting or photography Linguistic Intelligence Your Linguistic Percentile You scored in the 90th percentile on the linguistic intelligence scale. This means that you scored higher than 80% - 90% of people who took the test and that 10% - 20% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually. Linguistic abilities include reading, writing and communicating with words. Tickle's test measures knowledge of vocabulary, ease in completing word analogies and the ability to think critically about a statement based on its semantic structure. Your score was relatively high, which could mean you know your way around a bookstore and maybe like to bandy about the occasional 25-cent word to impress friends. Here's the type of question that contributed to your linguistic intelligence scale score: Inept is the opposite of: Answer: Skillful. The answer is derived by prior knowledge that "inept" means "unskillful" (Oxford Concise Dictionary). Word Power Like anything, keeping or improving linguistic talents requires some practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that will be particularly helpful to you: Doing crossword puzzles Start reading just for fun Befriending your dictionary The next time something breaks, try reading the instruction book first Logical Intelligence Your Logical Percentile You scored in the 90th percentile on the logical intelligence scale. This means that you scored higher than 80% - 90% of people who took the test and that 10% - 20% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually. Tickle's logical intelligence questions assess your ability to think things through. The questions determine the extent to which you use reasoning and logic to determine the best solution to a problem. Your logic score was relatively high, which could mean that when the car breaks down, your friends look to you to help figure out not only what's wrong, but how to fix it and how you're going to get to the next gas station. Here's the kind of question that contributed to your logical intelligence score: If some Wicks are Slicks and some Slicks are Snicks, then some Wicks are definitely Snicks. Answer: False The statement is false because while some Wicks might be Slicks, there is no conclusive proof that any of them might be Snicks. Logic Lessons Like anything, keeping or improving logical talents requires some practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that will be particularly helpful to you: Trying some brain teasers Throwing away the instructions and relying on instinct to fix something Playing chess
