This was in the paper today - check out the link at the end of the article.

excerpt from The Daily Telegraph, 02/08/02

Test your intelligence - take part in the national IQ exam.

HOW intelligent are you? It's a question everybody asks themselves at one time or other - and here's your chance to find out.

Test Australia - the National IQ Test 2002 will give every Australian the chance to take a recognised IQ test and pit themselves against people across the nation.

Next Tuesday live on Channel 9 the national IQ test will go live across the country - and you'll have a chance to take part.

The Daily Telegraph will publish the official scorecard on Tuesday so you can follow the test and check your score. It's a fun way to find out if you're smarter than your sister, mum or boss. We've given you a few sample questions here to practise with.

Also today - in a special edition of Classmate - we've published a junior IQ test, designed by the national IQ test experts for children aged 10 to 15 years. We'll put the answers in tomorrow's Daily Telegraph.

Over the next few days we will be publishing more sample questions and a little about some famous IQs, along with celebrities taking the test on the show like Sami Lukas. She said: "I am feeling a little nervous - I'm well aware that if I fail dismally, the entire nation will know and I may never live it down."

Err, where was that? I never came across that question.

no, thats just my lazy typing which i can never be other to go back and correct, or for that matter write gammatically correct in teh first place. you will just ave to get used to it

 

[Morgues]

I thought IQ tests were supposed to be things you couldnt study for and it all depended on whether you could work it out logically during the test

 

[Lazarus]

That's correct, although you can still 'learn' how to answer the questions by taking multiple IQ tests.

They're only really reliable if taken once or with years between tests.

There's a lot of debate about whether IQ tests really measure intelligence, or what type of intelligence they measure, and that sort of thing, but I think it is usually agreed that they are a fairly good indicator of potential - particularly with secondary and tertiary education.

[Anton]

Got 117, and I won't go in to how retarded Channel 9 is (the 'alarm' question specifically, as well as the fact the younger you are the lower your IQ...yeah that makes sense ya' fuckers).

[fatmuscle]

that IQ test was a load of rubbish..

if someone's fly is undone. YOU POINT AND LAUGH

 

[-=«MÄLÅÇhïtÊ»=-]
