I was looking up some stats today and found a site that depicted a series of triangles and asked how many there were. I answered.
That led to a ten-minute i.q. test.
THE TEST.
Now I know there's no such thing, but I was interested to see if my answer to the "teaser" question was right.

Then I took the ten-question, 10 minute test. The questions were all pretty easy except
# 4. Was it # 3 because he had no nose? Or #4 because the eyes had unique pupils? Or something entirely different?

Anyhow, I forged ahead. I had had my i.q. taken by a professional many years ago, when they still gave you a number. I know senility has done its nasty work, but I don't know to what extent. So I was curious. Even though I knew this is an invalid test. (See what I mean?)

But when I got to the page where they give the result -- they didn't!

Instead they asked for my cel phone number, in return for which, they would give me my score.

Instead I closed all windows.

So I guess I passed that i.q. test, don't you?

(I had just had my LAN phone number changed and unlisted because of annoying cold calls selling everything from lower-interest credit cards to luxury cruises.)

All but one of the figures in #4 has bilateral symmetry.

The test was non-standard. They usually don't mix true/false with multiple choice & one of the analogy questions was mis-written ("Fall is Summer as Monday is to..." I think was meant to read "Fall is to..." Ten questions seems too few for meaningful results.

I, too, chose not to enter my "cell" by which I assume they mean "cell phone number" -- another bush-league-ism of wording.

What's their IQ ?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Cool! Yes, when you have more than one 'suspect', you're on the wrong track.
