Are you smarter than a Canadian?

[Klepa]

Its annoying I'm one of those smart but lazy types, I got into university easily enough, but now its a constant effort to keep up.

I used to be a smart kid, probably not so much anymore, I've replaced it with lazy, so I feel you. I applied for an university of applied sciences, got in, never did anything there, left. Applied for university last year again, got in, now I'm not doing anything either. If only I could be bothered.

online iq-tests are shit. i had to take hamburg-wechsler-test once (the scientificly correct iq test) and scored 142, while in online tests i score much higher usually. i think they make them give out too positive results so people don't feel dumb^^

 

[Sneaklemming]

IQ tests are for scrubs. Hence why mensa doesnt control the world

 

[Floppertje]

OH you GOTTA be kidding me.... it stalled loading the last question. for a bunch of people who are smart enough to make an iq test, they're not very good at making an iq test that actually works...

 

[Cowabungaa]

I won't even try this, I know my IQ will turn out to be horribly low.

First of all, I can't work that fast, I doubt, a LOT. I really need to think through my options before I can give an answer.

Second, I fail at numbers. Like, horribly, I can't do anything with them. Which will mean that I'll fail at least 3 pretty big subjects.

I prefer the theory of multiple intelligences [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences] myself, if only because it won't beat me down so hard.

It's getting worrying as I'm studying medicine...

Ok, fine I did it, And of course my score is horribly low, a meagre 100. I expected as much, first of all English isn't my first language, so at the language parts I first had to translate all the words and then try to answer the question, resulting in me not having enough time.

Heck, that was my problem all the time, just lacking time. I ended up guessing 75% or so from all the answers so my real IQ is probably way lower. Having a head ache and being sleepy doesn't help either, but I knew already that I was bloody stupid. There goes another part of my self esteem.

Hence why I really hate tests like this. So just because someone cannot work with a time limit like that, it means he's stupid? Please...

 

[Azure-Supernova]

I never trusted IQ tests. It would be like getting a tatoo from a shifty looking man with siringes in his jacket...

Hey, we go to the same guy

OT: I don't really indulge myself in these kinds of things... usually the result either makes me feel really good, really bad... or the test turns out to be a front for some kind of shock scare site.

 

[Ben Jamin]

I had an IQ test done a few years back. I scored 136.

 

[delet]

Hey now, that's mean. Them lighthouses are surprisingly sea worthy.

 

[Summerstorm]

Hm.. i guessed my IQ (according to this test) perfectly -120... which is one of the lowest results i got... but damn it doesn't give you much time (especially for the math, come on 15 seconds more.. PLEASE). And that one picture with the bird grrr. Ah well, here is my result.

Oh and also i am german...why did it want to know the size of my shoes? Had to look up a conversion-chart to see what size i would have in those crazy-overseas-sizes you have there *g*.

Oh and i lost 1 of the "not like the other words" because... well english is just my second language and in one question i didn't know two of the words. Sigh...

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Hey now, that's mean. Them lighthouses are surprisingly sea worthy.

that is fucking epic.

 

[Sebenko]

I hate online IQ tests. Last one tried I managed to get 80. I'm pretty sure that's almost retarded.

But would a retarded guy hire a dunk bulldozer driver to demolish half his house in celebration of his test results?

 

[Summerstorm]

Hey now, that's mean. Them lighthouses are surprisingly sea worthy.

that is fucking epic.

and if it would be true it would even be funnier:

Too bad its just an old joke retold.

 

[Kortney]

I don't want to do it, because IQ tests give me below average results. So they can fuck off.

I didn't think it was real.

41 of 50, IQ 127.

Not that it even means anything.

I wonder, when they say "Percentage of Canadians with your IQ", do they mean out of the ones that have taken the test? My first guess would be no, as the graph would probably be much more skewed in that case. But if that is not it, then they're just using statistics.. I don't trust statistics.

 

[greasedweasel]

47 out of 50, IQ 139, thankyouverymuch. And all of you saying online IQ tests are meaningless are just haters and I will NOT let you take this away from me.

Statistics don't lie, but liar use statistics.

For instance, did you know that more than 95% of people that ate tomatoes prior to 1900 are dead? And 100% of people that ate them prior to 1850 are dead?

Spoiler

TOMATOES ARE GOING TO KILL US! RUN! BEFORE THE KILLER TOMATOES LEARN TO USE STAIRS!

On a more related note, I'm skipping the test, since I'm Canadian, and don't feel it's polite to flaunt my superiority. 8)
