    Just took a test out of curiosity, but the result screen is much different.

    Disclaimer: Don’t take too much of the score for granted, the test isn’t that comprehensive, and just by knowing basic math and intermediate logic you may reach a similar score.

      A “real” IQ test also scores you on different types of skills, or at least the one I was given to take did. I ended up above average on things such as math and logic skills while scoring below average on language skills, which, knowing me sounds about right.

        Yeah, there was nothing about language in it, but I took it anyway just for the sake of it.

        Wish I could take an official one, purely out of curiosity.

        I have always wondered why language skills are in an IQ test. If someone speaks 1 language he’ll be better off than someone speaking 3 as the test is only in one language?

        Yeah, I had to pay, I don’t think there’s a way around that but I didn’t mind.

          If you pay the 2€, remember to unsubsribe from the monthly subsciption that those sneaky bastards sign you up for.
