So, I'm having trouble getting to sleep......

.....and I obviously got up, ignored the plates of delectable Christmas cookies sitting on the counter and decided to splurge on four small pretzel sticks with a 3 oz. V8 chaser.

WHOOO-EE. We is livin', now.

Then I pulled up Alina-the-deerslayer's blog and saw she'd taken another "quiz."

"Well THIS looks like fun," I said to my smug self.

Verbal Intelligence Test

Your overall percentile is 68% which means you scored higher than 68% of the people who have taken this test. The internet population tends to be more intelligent so your percentile might be higher if the test taking sample was perfectly random. Keep in mind, taking this test more than once will render your percentile score inaccurate because the percentile scoring assumes these questions were fresh to the test taker.

The point of this test is to challenge you and show you how you compare to other test takers on a set of novel questions. Consequently, the answers need to be kept secret to protect the integrity of the test.

So yeah.....apparently I'm even dumber than I thought. (thanks a LOT, Alina :-)

I may have to take another quiz and try and redeem myself....

Congratulations, you obtained a very high score. I am researching intelligence and personality so I would greatly appreciate if you would use the comment form below to answer the following questions.

What was your childhood IQ measured at? SAT score? GRE score?
What is your career or what career do you plan on pursuing?
How has your intelligence affected your life?
Do you think intelligence correlates negatively with physical attractiveness?
Did you have any problems with any of the questions on this test, was it challenging, easy?

Include your email if you are open to possibly getting some follow up questions from me (your email will be kept private). If you would rather think about the questions and answer later, submit your answers via the contact link.


Your overall percentile is 93% which means you scored higher than 93% of the people who have taken this test. The internet population tends to be more intelligent so your percentile might be higher if the test taking sample was perfectly random. Keep in mind, taking this test more than once will render your percentile score inaccurate because the percentile score assumes these questions were fresh to the test taker.

Possible answers to the questions:
-somewhere between 50 and 200
-somewhat less than perfect
-never took the GRE. Don't even know what it is
-I am heavily involved in my career as a full time homemaker. Wasn't it lucky I majored in music? At last count there were 10 kids
-I suppose some degree of intelligence has been helpful in homeschooling the children. Homeschooling is really fun. The kids believe everything I say. After I put them to bed I usually cruise the web and take intelligence tests.
-as to correlation of intelligence to physical attractiveness....this was the question that convinced me not to submit my email. But I have lost a little weight recently....if that means anything.
-I thought your test was just super, especially since I ended up with a decent score. Keep up the good work and hey.....isn't there some way I can get graduate credit for this?

There. I feel lots better.

I think I can sleep, now.
