Crazy stuffs. I just got that email literally one minute ago and I just clicked on the link to get the free score. Only difference was that mine said I was the “highest” scorer in the history of the whole deal.

Sure, I’m in for it, although I don’t feel like signing up and having to cancel anything. I’ll check it out.

David • 10/16/03 • 12:52 PM:

Okay, send me your pass code informations if that’s okay. Thanks. Let the battles begin!

Dan • 10/16/03 • 12:55 PM:

Yeah, I got that too. I would have never checked if you didn’t post this. It was in my dfmadden hotmail account, possibly the most spam-infested nook in the internet universe. I already lost that email access and all my saved emails because I didn’t check it for like 4 months. I regained it, just in case, sans a lot of emails I really wanted to save somewhere. Hotmail is tangible evidence of evil. Is cyberspace tangible? Can you touch it? Either way, you know what I mean.

I’ll do more test crap if it helps me prove I wasn’t adopted.

For the record, I also have received emails from Tallukah Belk, Dorkis, Skipper Ramsay, Goldi Blakemore, Siham Brokaw, Shirl Nowak, Save half, Perla Maritan, jenski urvi (no caps), Online University (bunch of nerds at that place), Yesenia Defoes, and dfmadd@b1o7c6.com telling me to “get a new thought”.

Dan • 10/16/03 • 12:57 PM:

I almost forgot. Skipper is doing well, he says hi.

AJ • 10/16/03 • 11:29 PM:

I signed up and took it too.

That’s crazy stuff. You get to read a report on your score. It’s pretty darn accurate in my opinion. It also tells me I’m probably good at things that I am. It tells me I think the way I tell people I think.

AJ • 10/16/03 • 11:32 PM:

Order. of are sentences my screwed up

Paste cut. messed up and I

Sentences in ? matter order word

Patrick • 10/17/03 • 11:54 AM:

Note that if I just give you my sign-in, you won’t get your free detailed report. Nevertheless, I’ll give it out if you promise to be good with it. I’ll send it via email later today. AJ: I don’t know what you were doing there. It looks like you wanted to be commenting on Dave’s post about letter-order in words. In any case, I think it’s harder to understand misordered sentences than misordered words.

AJ • 10/17/03 • 4:26 PM:

I was just commenting that I cut and pasted and messed up the order of my sentence. You probably noticed that if you read my first post and paid attention. I got carried away describing what happened and made fun of the Cambridge guy’s study on letter order. Then I read your post. Then I wrote a post explaining what I did.

Patrick • 10/18/03 • 9:01 AM:

AJ: Nope, I hadn’t noticed anything amiss in the first post. Others: I sent you an email with my login and password, though you can figure it out if you know 1) my yahoo email (pcmadden3) and 2) the funniest ReverseVoice ever (spelled with an “ie” instead of an “ey” at the end).

Patrick • 10/20/03 • 9:01 AM:

I did a bunch of tests over the weekend. Here are the results. Warning: you may want to go take the Super IQ test before reading any further. I give a couple of spoilers below, and you wouldn’t want that extra help, would you? Here we go:

Corporate-culture test: I’m a “stabilizer.”

Multiple-intelligences test:
- logical/math: 10
- spatial/visual: 9
- linguistic: 9
- social: 7
- personal: 6
- physical: 5

Brain-teaser test: 29/30, but it should have been 30/30 if I had read all the questions right (I reversed one of them and answered it “right” for that situation, but hey).

Brain test: I am a left-brained, visual learner.

True-talent test: My primary ability is verbal, secondary is spatial, though I also scored a “10” on mechanical and numerical. Among the top career choices emode suggests to me are “author” and “teacher.”

Emotional-IQ test (I did it for Kathleen): I got a 117, which is pretty good, but obviously lower than my non-emotional-iq. Hey, wasn’t there a Rolling Stones song about an emotional iq? “Do doo do doo doooo, doo doo dooo!”

And, the result you’ve all been waiting for, the Super-IQ test: I got a 147, which makes me an intuitive investigator. I would like to note, also, that I only got two questions wrong, and one of them was the stapler and staple one, which is a spatial kind of question, and which I think I could have gotten if I didn’t think it was a trick question, and the other is the “8,392,211,109” one, whose “answer” I flat-out disagree with. At the very least, that one should have had more instructions. There are also a couple of questions with bad wording.

Let me know how y’all compare and any other tests you wanna do. By the way, if you log in as me, your results will write over mine, but no worries. I saved any important information. If you get your own trial membership, you can see all your detailed results, including the original IQ test. My membership gets cancelled this Wednesday.

Dad • 10/20/03 • 11:56 PM:

I just took the right job test (admittedly a little late) and came out analytical/creative. My top job is architect, with emergency back-up jobs:

Psychologist (huh?)
Computer systems analyst
Chemist
Airplane pilot
Flight engineer
Veterinarian

Interestingly, I took an “interest” test in high school and came out highest on architect then too. I ignored it, of course, and the rest is history.

When I took the test, I clicked on “retake” in the “my tests” table. So I guess we’ll all be able to take all the tests.

Patrick • 10/21/03 • 9:34 AM:

I also took the Inkblot test and I learned that my “subconscious mind is driven by love.” But we all knew that already.

Patrick • 10/21/03 • 9:35 AM:

By the way, hurry up. I have to cancel my membership tomorrow.

Dad • 10/21/03 • 5:22 PM:

I also got a 147 on the super IQ test, with 2 wrong, one the same as PC3. I’m a complex intellectual.

Multiple-intelligences test:
- spatial/visual: 10
- logical/math: 10
- personal: 6
- linguistic: 5
- social: 4
- physical: 4

I’m done now. This takes too much time!

Patrick • 10/22/03 • 9:14 AM:

Hey. I got email notices of two more tests (an emotional IQ and a Brain Teasers) that someone took. I’m going to cancel out today, so can you post your results here?

Dad • 10/22/03 • 6:10 PM:

It was me again. I got 29 of 30 on the brainteasers test (I got a little careless and missed the one about who came to the party first) and a 120 on the emotional intelligence test, where my strongest suit is perception.

By the way, to add fuel to the perception that Patrick is really my clone, I also got the stapler question wrong, but the other question I got wrong was the chairs under the table thing, and I still say both would fit if you turned them sideways. I don’t care if this gives away the answer to someone else, as it’s such a stupid question it deserves to be on one of the psychological tests rather than the super IQ.

Dad • 10/22/03 • 7:22 PM:

Just found out the site is still up, so I took the true talent test. Guess what? Verbal-Spatial, just like Patrick! Here I have serious problems with two of the three questions I got “wrong.” In both cases, my first impulse was the right answer, but I talked myself out of them by applying clear logic.

Dan • 10/22/03 • 11:53 PM:

Ok, people, here’s the truth. I have taken this test twice. The first time I got a 125. Then I looked at the answers. I missed 6, apparently. 3 of them I said to myself, “huh?” because I didn’t think I put those answers. But I got marked wrong. I blamed it on me completely 4 of 6 pages while at work and having to leave to pick up my friend before finishing. I came home and hastily redid my answers. So I initially blamed it on haste.

I redid the test, putting the right answer for the 3 I accidentally missed. I got a 131. Weird, I thought. Not much improvement with 3 more answers right. Then I looked at my answers again. The same three I questioned previously were again marked wrong. I KNOW I put the right answers in this time. I swear on anything that I’m telling the truth, not looking at the answers and thinking, “Oh, I meant to put that.” Seriously, guys.

I missed the 8,392… one, the red-cross deal with the circle and half circle placement (I can’t believe that), and the wish/search one. That one I think is a toss-up. And that’s what I did.

Anyway, if someone wants to go in and put the right answers except these three, please do. That will give you the correct result.

I’m going to do it again. Why did my score change, by the way? Am I that big of an idiot that I can’t fill in the boxes? Ugh.

Patrick • 10/23/03 • 9:30 AM:

Dan, The only thing I can think of is that maybe you and someone else were taking the same test at the same time. Or there’s a program glitch. No worries though.

Everyone: I cancelled the membership, but it keeps it up and running until tomorrow for some reason. I have a lot of notices in my email about tests people have taken. Please note your results here. By the way, some tests were taken many times, so if you didn’t write down your results when you took the tests, they’re overwritten by the most recent one (which is probably someone else). By the way, one thing I did was to save the results page (using my browser’s “Save Page As” function). That way I don’t care if someone later overwrites my results.

After Friday Dave is going to sign up (I think) and we can continue there. Let us know, Dave.

AJ • 10/24/03 • 11:55 PM:

I agree with the super-IQ test having many poorly worded questions. Some require assumptions not offered (like the chair one) and therefore the correct answer is “it’s impossible to tell.” Nevertheless, this is the wrong answer according to them. In particular there was one saying which would hit the ground first - a piece of paper or a peanut. They said the peanut, but in a vacuum the answer is neither. Didn’t the test writer take physics?

Patrick • 10/27/03 • 12:11 PM:

So, are we still doing this, or do you all concede that I’m the grand-poobah, super-genius, smartest-of-them-all?

David • 10/27/03 • 6:00 PM:

Not yet, big shot. I really do plan on taking the tests and signing up. It’s just that right now I simply don’t want to. I don’t have the ability to concentrate or focus. I’ll get through it soon. Don’t worry. You know, all the stuff with Gina has got me thinking of other things besides IQ tests. Not that they aren’t important too. :)

Patrick • 10/28/03 • 10:16 AM:

I’m not only talking to you, Dave. Other people could sign up and post their results too.

Patrick • 04/21/04 • 4:30 PM:

I was bombarded by another IQ test today (a pop-behind ad), which I won’t have time to do yet, but if anyone wants to give it a whirl… I think I’ll do it sometime soon.
