Jeremy Helms: Are you a genius?

Are you a genius?

February 1, 2007 at 1:50 pm

Intelligence Test; You have to work out what the letters mean. It doesn't matter if you write the answers in uppercase or lowercase, but the answers must be exactly as expected (no additional intervals or dashes and the spelling must be correct). There is no time limit for this test. Answers will automatically be verified as you type them.

The test site states,

Believe it or not, this type of test can be a good estimate of intelligence (if you excuse the cultural bias). People who did well on this type of test are likely those who are gifted with verbal ability and linguistic pattern recognition. This sort of assessment would discriminate against those with non-linguistic pattern recognition (like solving jigsaw puzzles) and spatial intelligence (like the ability to use a map or see hidden figures in a drawing).

Scoring: 1 to 5 is Average, 6 - 11 Somewhat Intelligent, 12 to 18 Intelligent, 19 + Genius

How well did you do? How long did it take (if you kept track)?

Update

After I finished the test, I sent an IM to my friend telling him what I had scored. He informed me that there were three more parts to this test!

For the record, I finished part1 with 27 of 33 answers and left numbers 17, 24, 28-31 unanswered.

I had 7 answered in the first 3 minutes; 11 answered after about 7 minutes, 15 answered after 32 minutes, and within the first hour and 15 minutes or so I was at 21. Within a two hour threshold I hit my final mark of 27 and called it quits. I hit up google to see if I could find the answers to the ones I left empty and felt stupid about only one that I should have known — the others I left empty were actually quite difficult in my opinion.

I haven't taken any other part of the test yet, but I will post my score and assessment when I do.

Update: I jumped from part1 to part4 of the test and put down about 40 minutes — I may come back to it later, but at this point I've completed 13 of 18 answers.

PS: I jumped out of line because part2 and part3 were pretty tough!!
