this is an update to the Super IQ test that i took last sept. 22. tickle provided me with my super IQ report for free because according to them i got a high IQ score. i just thought of posting it here. here is the complete results:
Your IQ score is 109. This means that you are smarter than 72.0% of all other Super IQ test takers.
This number is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on the Tickle Super IQ Test.
But there's more to intelligence than a single number, a single score, or a single label. Tickle uses 8 distinguishable dimensions of intelligence in the Super IQ Test. By analyzing your individual scores on those 8 scales, we are able to look beyond the raw IQ score into how you process information, and which intellectual strengths you're best at.
Your test results indicate that the way you process information makes you a Practical Wordsmith.
You're a highly organized, realistic, detail-oriented person. You think clearly and use your substantial verbal skills to eloquently convey your ideas. What's important to you is getting your point across. Your ability to pick up new words, fundamentally understand their meaning, and use them at your discretion gives you enormous opportunities. At the very least you get the added flexibility of being able to express yourself and explain things to others in the most precise way possible, whether in a professional or personal context.
Your set of strengths comes in handy whenever a situation is unclear. First, you are more likely to take a practical approach than others and more able to focus on the most pressing problem. Second, you are able to articulate the approach in a way that others aren't. Communication can be challenging when dealing with others who prefer to talk in highly abstract terms or who need to express things in numbers and purely logical patterns, but you are typically clear enough to make communication work regardless of the circumstances.
Here's an example of your Practical Wordsmith thinking skills at work in a real-life situation:
You and your friends are trying to figure out what to do with your free evening. One friend says that she hasn't gone to a movie in awhile, and offers the bonus that it's often educational to watch a movie. The other friend starts talking about how, actually, movies aren't educational, but rather, misleading. Movies don't imitate life, he says, it's the other way around. You listen to this conversation and realize that it's going nowhere. It's obvious to you that one friend wants to go to a movie and the other doesn't, but that they aren't able or willing to talk about that. So you interject and say, "How about we forget the movie and go out for coffee instead!" No one objects, and you've miraculously stopped a directionless conversation from continuing. You know that even if their argument did end, they'd be no closer to making a decision. Your friends are grateful for your help but might have trouble expressing it since it takes most people awhile to cool down from a debate.
Your Super IQ Dimensions
Now that you know about how you process information, let's drill down to see what your specific intellectual strengths are. None of the intellectual abilities is more important than any of the others. And it's your unique scores on each of these scales, that makes you an interesting addition to any group, office, or family.
These intellectual strengths color your world and the way you perceive it, and also allow you to contribute your original perspective when solving problems and coming up with ideas. No one intellectual dimension can define you. It's the original combination of your intellectual strengths that makes you special.
Mechanical Ability
You scored 99 out of 100. Mechanical ability is what helps you understand how machines and tools work. Someone with a good amount of mechanical ability probably has an innate understanding of physics. High mechanical skill is also associated with a high degree of precision and practical thinking.
Here's a question that required high mechanical ability to solve:
Which object will fall faster? A 8 x 11 piece of paper or a peanut? Both weight the same amount.
A. The piece of paper
B. The peanut
C. It is impossible to know
The paper will encounter more resistance than will the peanut, and so it will fall more slowly. The peanut will fall faster and so the correct answer is B.
In every-day life, mechanical ability comes in handy when anything in the house breaks, or when you have to purchase something that requires physical assembly. It is also helpful in finding solutions to physical problems, such as determining how to build a pulley to bring water out of a well.
Compared with others, your mechanical abilities are very high. This means that you have a very strong mechanical ability.
Organizational Ability
Your organizational ability score is 88 out of 100. Organizational ability is what allows you to organize and arrange information effectively, be precise, and proofread carefully.
Here's a question that required high organizational ability:
Which of the following character strings is the closest match to 8,392,211,109?
Here's the answer: The correct answer is B. Try reading each of the answer options not as numbers, but rather as a string of characters; when you do so, you will find that B has the fewest mismatches, position for position, in the string of characters. See below (mismatches highlighted in red):
In every-day life, organizational ability is what you use to proofread a paper or organize a messy desk. Coming up with an organizational system for keeping track of things comes easy to those who are high in this ability. It is a highly practical skill.
Compared with others, your organizational ability is high. This means that you have a strong organizational ability.
Visual Ability
Your score is 88 out of 100. Visual ability allows you to accurately visualize all aspects of an object for the purposes of recreating it, the way painters do. It's also what you use to imagine a scene from a novel or a story someone tells you — the ability to accurately reproduce reality in the mind's eye.
Here's a question that required high visual ability to solve:
Which of the images below is a perfect square?
Here's the answer: Eyeballing it, you can see that image A is the square with identical length and height, and so the correct answer is A.
In every-day life, visual ability is what you use when creating original art. In order to reproduce an object on canvas (as painters do) you have to be able to accurately represent the dimensions of those objects in the picture. Getting the accurate perspective and depth is easiest for someone with a strong visual ability.
Compared with others, your visual ability is high. This means that you have a strong visual ability.
Verbal Ability
Your verbal ability score is 84 out of 100. Verbal ability means having an expansive range of vocabulary, being able to use it, and feeling a desire to add to it. It is also what allows you to comprehend the relationships and subtle difference between words.
Here's a question that required verbal ability:
The opposite of acute is:
A. Severe
B. Incisive
C. Dull
D. Flamboyant
The opposite of the word acute, meaning sharp or finely tuned, is dull, so the correct answer is C.
In every-day life, verbal ability is essential to being able to interpret written materials. It's also valuable for communication — the more vocabulary words you know, the more precisely you may be able to convey your point.
Compared with others, your verbal ability is high. This means that you have a strong verbal ability.
Spatial Ability
You scored 82 out of 100. You use spatial ability to judge the relationship between objects and physical space, like a parked car and the width of the road. It is also what helps you visualize a room when you are decorating or rearranging furniture.
Here's a question that required high spatial ability to solve:
Which is the odd one out?
A
B
C
D
Here's the answer: The thunderbolts in A, B, and C are all going in the same way, but the one in D is actually a flipped version of the rest.
In every-day life, you use this ability when you drive or even when you are walking through a packed crowd (so that you don't run into other people!). Some people actually use this ability to help them with non-physical things. If they are trying to understand a situation, they might think of the words as shapes that they need to negotiate.
Compared with others, your spatial abilities are high. This means that you have a strong sense of how things exist in physical space.
Abstract Reasoning Ability
Your score is 79 out of 100. With abstract reasoning you can think on multiple levels and see relationships between ideas that are not easily apparent. When you're using your abstract reasoning skills, you draw on both external logical and creative sources of information to come up with your solution.
Here's a question that required high abstract reasoning ability to solve:
What comes next in the sequence?
Here's the answer: The progression from one figure to the next is the addition of 1/2 of the previously added box. So the first figure is one box; the second figure is the first box plus a box 1/2 of its size; the third figure is the previous two boxes plus a box 1/2 of the last added box's size. Therefore the final figure (the question mark) should be the third figure plus a box 1/2 of the last added box. The correct answer is B.
In every-day life, abstract reasoning ability is used to understand complex, multi-layered situations, sometimes involving the associations and relationships between two seemingly different sets of information. For example, imagine someone who has taken piano lessons and was taught that the skill was more easily obtained when she pointed out her struggles to her teacher. She was able to learn from them and improve. This same woman then takes writing lessons and again makes her mistakes obvious so that the instructor can suggest changes and she can improve.
Compared with others, your abstract ability is This means that you have a strong abstract ability.
Logical Ability
Your scored 76 out of 100. Logical ability is what you use when determining whether or not something makes sense. You rely on logic when analyzing an argument, step-by-step. This ability also contributes to your aptitude for recognizing underlying patterns.
Here's a question that required high logical ability to solve:
Mary loved pink flowers more than she loved red ones. She didn't like orange flowers at all, and while she liked yellow flowers, she couldn't say that she really loved them. Which of these is true?
A. She liked red flowers less than orange flowers
B. She liked yellow flowers more than red flowers
C. She liked pink flowers more than yellow flowers
D. She liked orange flowers more than pink flowers
Here's the answer: She liked yellow flowers but didn't love them; however, she did love pink and red ones - pink more than red. Thus far the order of preference is pink, red, yellow. But she liked orange least of all, which means the new order is pink, red, yellow, orange. This means that she liked red more than orange (which makes option A not true). She liked yellow less than red (which makes option B not true). She liked pink more than yellow, which makes option C true, and she liked orange less than any of the flowers, which makes option D not true. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
In every-day life, you might use this ability to figure out the best route to the store, or to figure out the best deal when choosing between a couple items to buy. Everyone has a certain ability to use logic to solve problems. Some are better at it than others, however.
Compared with others, your logical ability is high. This means that you are a pretty consistently logical person.
Numerical Ability
You scored 62 out of 100. You use numerical ability when you spot a numerical pattern or solve a numerical equation. Here's a question that assessed your numerical ability:
Which number completes the series? 1, 3/2, 2, 5/2, ?
Here's the answer: 3
In every-day life, you use the ability to calculate a tip at a restaurant, or estimate taxes on a purchase. Everyone has this ability to a greater or lesser extent.
Compared with others, your numerical ability is high. This means that you process numbers easily.
