i took an iq test today

   

   

anchornav(’score’,'type’)
Your IQ score is:
133133  You scored 133 on Tickle’s IQ test.  This means that based on your answers, your IQ score is between
document.write((iqscore-10)+’ and ‘+iqscore+’. ‘);123 and 133.
Most people’s IQs are between 70 and 130.
In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range.
68% of people score between 80 and 120. The following chart to your
right, shows these percentages and where your IQ score is on that scale.

There’s more to intelligence than a single number, a single score or a
single label. Tickle uses four distinguishable Intelligence Scales in
the Ultimate IQ Test. By analyzing your individual scores on those four
scales, we are able to look beyond the raw IQ score into how you
process information and thereby determine your Intellectual Type.

 
How do you relate to other IQ test takers?

Your Intellectual Type Is:  Visionary Philosopher
Visionary Philosopher   document.write(descriptions.substring(0,br2));Your
mind’s strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or
anticipate what should come next in just about any situation.
Because you’re equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of
the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up
with great ideas. The timelessness of your vision and the balance
between your various skills are what make you a Visionary Philosopher.

In addition to your strengths in math and linguistics, you have a knack
for matching and anticipating patterns. These skills and your uncanny
ability to detect the underlying blueprint of most of life’s situations
add to your Visionary Philosopher mind.
document.write(descriptions.substring(br2));
Two philosophers who share the same combination of skills you possess
are Plato and Benedict Spinoza. Spinoza had insight into how things
worked in the world. He could envision a future based on the patterns
he saw in life, and used mathematical logic as a structure within which
to present his philosophical arguments. With that base he was able to
use logic to formulate his theories. Borrowing from his linguistic
strengths he wrote eloquent texts and, therefore, was able to bring his
philosophical ideas and structure to the rest of the world. His story
exemplifies the talents that are present in the Visionary Philosopher
intellectual type.

Whatever you decide to do in life, you’ve got a powerful mix of skills
and insight that can be applied in a wide variety of ways. You can
expand your mind to understand a situation. Your strong balance of math
and verbal skills will help you explain things to others. For example,
if you were on an archaeological dig and discovered an object, you
could probably use your deductive powers to figure out not only what
the object was but also how it was used. Given your ability to put
things together, you are more than capable of inventing a life plan
that is in synch with your perspective on how things were, how they
are, and how they might be one day.

  
Great Jobs For You
Because of the way you process information, these are just some of the many careers in which you could excel:

  • Archaeologist
  • Detective
  • Psychologist
  • Sculptor
  • Architect
  • City planner
  • Chief executive

Some of Your Greatest Talents
You’ve got tons of strengths.  It wouldn’t surprise us if you:

  • Think of the "big picture"
  • Can anticipate and predict patterns
  • Are good at context clues
  • Can see similarities in seemingly disparate things

   

 

Your 4 Intelligence Scales

Now let’s look at the factors that contribute to you being a Visionary Philosopher with a 133 IQ score.

Based on the results of your test, Tickle divided your scores into four
distinguishable dimensions — mathematical intelligence, visual-spatial
intelligence, linguistic intelligence and logic intelligence.

Here’s how each of your intelligence scores break down:

Mathematical Intelligence

<!–
document.write(’

Your Mathematical Percentile

'+mathperc+'th percentile

‘);
document.write(’You scored in the ‘+mathperc+’th percentile on the mathematical intelligence scale.’);
document.write(’This means that you scored higher than ‘+(mathperc-10)+’% - ‘+mathperc+’% of people who took the test and that ‘+(100-mathperc)+’% - ‘+(110-mathperc)+’% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.’);
//–>

Your Mathematical Percentile

90th percentile

You
scored in the 90th percentile on the mathematical intelligence
scale.This means that you scored higher than 80% - 90% of people who
took the test and that 10% - 20% scored higher than you did. The scale
above illustrates this visually.

Your mathematical intelligence score represents your combined
ability to reason and calculate. You scored relatively high, which
means you’re probably the one your friends look to when splitting the
lunch bill or calculating your waitresses’ tip. You may or may not be
known as a math whiz, but number crunching might come a little easier
to you than it does others.

This is the kind of question that helped to determine your mathematical intelligence score:

A boy is 4 years old and his sister is three times as old as he
is. When the boy is 12 years old, how old will his sister be? 16, 20,
24, 28, 32.

answer: 20.
The sister is (3 )three times older than her (4)
four-year-old brother. Three times 4 is 12, in other words, when he is
four, she is 12. Twelve years old is 8 years older than 4 years old,
which makes her 8 years older than him. This never changes. Therefore,
when he is 12, she is still 8 years older, or 12+8=20.

Flexing Your Math Muscles
Like anything, keeping or
improving your math talents requires practice. Here are some everyday
mental exercises that could be particularly helpful to you:
  • Balancing your checkbook
  • Figuring out your monthly budget
  • Predicting what the change will be the next time you buy something
  • Calculating your waitperson’s tip in your head

Visual-Spatial Intelligence

<!–
document.write(’

Your Visual-Spatial Percentile

'+visperc+'th percentile

‘);
document.write(’

You scored in the ‘+visperc+’th percentile on the visual-spatial intelligence scale.’);
document.write(’
This means that you scored higher than ‘+(visperc-10)+’% - ‘+visperc+’% of people who took the test and that ‘+(100-visperc)+’% - ‘+(110-visperc)+’% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.’);
//–>

Your Visual-Spatial Percentile

100th percentile

You scored in the 100th percentile on the visual-spatial intelligence  scale.
This
means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the
test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above
illustrates this visually.

The visual-spatial component of intelligence measures your
ability to extract a visual pattern and from that envision what should
come next in a sequence. Your score was

relatively high, which could mean that you’re the one navigating the
map when you’re on an outing with friends. You have, in some capacity,
an ability to think in pictures. Maybe this strength comes out in
subtle ways, like how you play chess or form metaphors.

Here’s the type of question that contributed to your visual-spatial intelligence score:

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 is to 2 as 3 is to
 
Answer: b

The answer lies in recognizing not only the visual sequence of a
square and then a line, but in the recognizing the solidity of the line
in the first example and the broken quality of the line in the second
example.

Vision Quest

Like anything, keeping or improving visual-spatial talents requires
some practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that will be
particularly helpful to you:
  • Playing chess, or video games like Tetris
  • Studying maps and become the navigator on your next trip
  • Sculpting or photography

Linguistic Intelligence

<!–
document.write(’

Your Linguistic Percentile

'+lingperc+'th percentile

‘);
document.write(’You scored in the ‘+lingperc+’th percentile on the linguistic intelligence scale.’);
document.write(’
This means that you scored higher than ‘+(lingperc-10)+’% - ‘+lingperc+’% of people who took the test and that ‘+(100-lingperc)+’% - ‘+(110-lingperc)+’% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.’);
//–>

Your Linguistic Percentile

90th percentile

You scored in the 90th percentile on the linguistic intelligence  scale.
This
means that you scored higher than 80% - 90% of people who took the test
and that 10% - 20% scored higher than you did. The scale above
illustrates this visually.

Linguistic abilities include reading, writing and
communicating with words. Tickle’s test measures knowledge of
vocabulary, ease in completing word analogies and the ability to think
critically about a statement based on its semantic structure. Your
score was relatively high, which could mean you know your way around a
bookstore and maybe like to bandy about the occasional 25-cent word to
impress friends.

Here’s the type of question that contributed to your linguistic intelligence scale score:

Inept is the opposite of:

Answer:  Skillful.

The answer is derived by prior knowledge that "inept" means "unskillful" (Oxford Concise Dictionary).

Word Power

Like anything, keeping or improving linguistic talents requires some
practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that will be
particularly helpful to you:
  • Doing crossword puzzles
  • Start reading just for fun
  • Befriending your dictionary
  • The next time something breaks, try reading the instruction book first

Logical Intelligence

<!–
document.write(’

Your Logical Percentile

'+logperc+'th percentile

‘);
document.write(’You scored in the ‘+logperc+’th percentile on the logical intelligence scale.’);
document.write(’
This means that you scored higher than ‘+(logperc-10)+’% - ‘+logperc+’% of people who took the test and that ‘+(100-logperc)+’% - ‘+(110-logperc)+’% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.’);
//–>

Your Logical Percentile

100th percentile

You scored in the 100th percentile on the logical intelligence  scale.
This
means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the
test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above
illustrates this visually.

Tickle’s logical intelligence questions assess your ability to
think things through. The questions determine the extent to which you
use reasoning and logic to determine the best solution to a problem.
Your logic score was relatively high, which could mean that when the
car breaks down, your friends look to you to help figure out not only
what’s wrong, but how to fix it and how you’re going to get to the next
gas station.

Here’s the kind of question that contributed to your logical intelligence score:

If some Wicks are Slicks and some Slicks are Snicks, then some Wicks are definitely Snicks.

Answer: False
The statement is false because while some Wicks might be Slicks, there is no conclusive proof that any of them might be Snicks.

Logic Lessons

Like anything, keeping or improving logical talents requires some
practice. Here are some everyday mental exercises that will be
particularly helpful to you:
  • Trying some brain teasers
  • Throwing away the instructions and relying on instinct to fix something
  • Playing chess
