are u a genius? take test here

[BA]

26/30 in ~5 minutes. I've seen most of them before. Do enough of these things, and you'll learn everything to look for.

 

[chess9]

31/30, but I took it left handed.

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

21/30 my brain hurts now...

 

[Valhalla1]

<< i'd say that a high score on a test suggests that you are good at taking tests, rather than being a genius. >>




agreed. I've found that I have pretty good test taking ability, I was half-drunk half-hungover when I took my SAT's my sophomore year in high school, hadn't slept in like 36 hours, etc. and I still did okay, got a 1360. I also passed the two CCNP certification tests I took without being prepared really at all, got 850+ on them

23/30 in 24 minutes

I think if I'd have used paper I probably would have gotten one or two more. Buy I didn't know if you were supposed to. Plus it's late.

 

[Subversal]

I guessed on an a few and got 26/30. Failed Banalities, the box one, the stick one, the 7 one (I got 19... doh).

 

[Renob]

19/30 I only answered 27 in 45 minutes. I quit school in the 10th grade So all you kids can see by my score STAY IN SCHOOL

 

[Sugadaddy]

26/30, missed the damn mixed-letter words. I demand a recount!, I want a french version of this test.

 

[HaVoC]

20/30. Low end of scores here unless you guys are lying! Yeah, this measures how well you can take this test.

 

[pamchenko]

22/30 ... gosh i hope it was ppl who scored REALLY low that didn't post ... cuz i feel like i'm in the dumb end of the spectrum here guys...and i took ALL 30 minutes

 

[Shalmanese]

23/30 at 2am in the morning taking 15 mins

is that bad?

 

[gUEv]

i joned mensa just so i could whip out my membership card at parties and watch all the chicks flock to me.
didnst you know mensa is pimp spelled backwads?


yes, i am drunk, what of it?!!

 

[zbalat]

25/30 but I got the &quot;parachute&quot; question wrong because I mis-spelled it DUH.

 

[visgf]

I'm at work, so I couldn't concentrate very well, but my 24/30 isn't bad.

 

[HaVoC]

I think we all can agree that our scores are MUCH higher than the average public would score, hence my conclusion that INDEED, ANANDTECH IS FULL OF SMART GEEKS!

 

[GreenBeret]

25/30, but I didn't even bother with most of the word ones, since they take longer, and I'm supposed to be studying.

 

[wviperw]

21/30 but it I didn't use all 30 min. I didn't like the questions like &quot;what word does this scramble of letters make? : F W L V I S A O N U P Q Z V&quot; or whatever

 

[Jugernot]

Hell yes 15/30!!! Wooohooo!! I'm not the smartest book person, but I'll kick anyone else?s ass in here with all five of my appendages tied behind my back!

 

[fallenoncrack]

3/30

I failed, dang, i tried hacking their server to get them to crack for RC5 doh...

actually i got a simply 26/30
WTF is this banalites crap??? bah

 

[Hanpan]

28

banalities
and the months.

oh well.

*edit*

In my defense english isn't my mother tounge.

 

[BA]

and the months one, the number of syllables is the same as the number of vowels, except for July of course...rrr

 

[Eug]

Hmm.... 24/30 in about 20 minutes. 14/30 in about 1 minute (mostly randomly guessing). So does that mean I'd get 36/30 or 420/30 if I used all 30 minutes?

Unscramble this you MENSA geeks: 3M TA3

 

[EpsiIon]

I got 25/30.


6) I can't believe I left out the 70's. (DUH)

7) Got it right but didn't think about syllables. I thought it had to do with the number of vowels in the name (x 5). Assuming &quot;Y&quot; is a vowel under certian enunciation rules. Anybody else remember &quot;A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y&quot; from elementary school?

13) Didn't want to take the time to go through a really long list of words in my head and it didn't come to me right away.

15) I *HATE* unscrambling letters.

16) Same as 13.

19) Same as 15.

23) Got it right, but didn't think about pets. Elk just seemed to make sense...

Overall, I'm pretty happy with my score. But I agree with those who think it's more about taking tests than intelligence. I've always been an excellent test taker [SAT's - 1490 (E 730, M 760). SAT II's - 730 Writing, 800 Math IIC, 740 Physics. Pretty darn respectable scores for not studying.]...

Then again, I've always been pretty intelligent, too. lol

Sorry about the SAT score quotes; I couldn't really resist the opportunity to brag... Well, that and the fact that I didn't want to resist it.
