Hmm, does this really suit me?




My score on The 4-Variable IQ Test:

Your brain: 80% interpersonal, 60% visual, 140% verbal, and 120% mathematical!




Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers.


Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

Well, like any of these tests, the odds are pretty good the person who threw it together isn't a professional in psychology, etc. So while they may or may not know something about what the test is about, the results may be skewed based on personal biases, just the way the wording of the questions/answers comes across to the individual taking the test, etc. I never put any stock in these things, and find them amusing, but not really reliable. I'm surprised if they get something close to what I think might be correct.

What is up with these quizzes. Can't any of these amateur half-assed statisticians get it through THEIR brains how to calculate based on a whole equalling 100%?

I had a C- average in algebra but even I know how this works. GEEZ.
