It didn't all work for me 🙁

That's because your mind is stronger than most. Those tests rely on social engineering.

That isn't really a good test. It is filled with ambiguous questions. They capitalize the "Fourth of July" in the first one - implying the holiday. So I argue that England doesn't have a fourth of July holiday, but of course it has a July 4th. "How many birthdays does the average man have?" - Once again entirely ambiguous. How many does he have in a lifetime? ~74. How many in one year? 1 of course. Almost all the questions simply have ambiguous answers and you only score well if you happen to be thinking of the answer they intended. It isn't an IQ test at all.

Test 1 failed.
So did test 2.
And so did test 3.

WTF is the point of those?
