Test The Nation

[on:]

Anyone in the UK should at least of heard of it. What was your IQ by the end?

I'm 13 (Which wasn't on the IQ listing) i got 110 (so add about 2 i'd say) but i voted 110.

[Reply #1 on:]

I missed it but my Dad got 144.

[Reply #2 on:]

I caught a bit of the program, not my scene though and I didn't bother testing myself. Surely this topic should have been raised in Kryten's thread about British TV.

[Reply #3 on:]

Yea, but it's a poll. PS, you can go to  http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation  to find out. It WILL take you some time.

[Reply #4 on:]

Fair point aslate I don't have time to test myself right now because it's 11:40pm and I'm about to take a sleep, maybe tomorrow.

The top IQ in the studio was a student

The IQ test will be available to play online from around midday today. Please try again later and in the meantime try one of brainteasers or quizzes in the Mental Gym.

D'oh! Well I"m not from the UK, I"d just make it more incorrect by taking it.......

[Reply #7 on:]

I did do it, as im 14 i had to go in the 16-19 catigory. i got 112, but on another internet one i got 151!!

[Reply #8 on:]

I got 134 in it, but Im useless at maths so there, but my parents only got 106 and 87.

Not bad for a brown haired, grey eyed taurus is it?

[Reply #9 on:]

But your dad is a doctor of some sort, isn't he?

[Reply #10 on:]

So is your IQ genetic? mmmm.....

[Reply #11 on:]

Could be.... But it was my dad that got the 87 so I.Q doesnt measure intelligence persay. He blew out on all the math ones.

[Reply #12 on:]

I didn't watch it, and don't particularly want to know my IQ, I've passed enough exams to know that I can't be too stupid.

[Reply #13 on:]

Wow... tough test. I only got 117 (although, like other people have scored anywhere up to 150 on other online tests). Still... Guess it's okay for an aussie chick!

[Reply #14 on:]

I just took the online test and got 130.

Me:
Age: 17
Hair: Brown (curly, horrible!)

Male
Occupation: Student/Part Time Baker & Sandwich Maker!!

[Bender] I find that offensive! [/Bender]
 Nah I'm only kidding, its because I've got brown eyes 

I missed the actual program on the TV so I took the test on the website. Maybe it is true about blue eyed people being more intelligent though 
I'm gonna go take the IQ test again to see if it comes back the same because mines a bit lower than the rest of you guys 

[Reply #16 on:]

Ok I've just done it again and my new score is only 6 points higher than my last one. But thats only because I knew what was coming up in the memory test part 
My first score was 92 and my 2nd score was 98

Whats wrong with me? I'm way lower than all you guys 

[Reply #17 on:]

You like futurama so you cant be that stupid!!

[Reply #18 on:]

Maybe that's what's hindering him 

(or her?)

[Reply #19 on:]

Mne cums up in negativ numbers is thst posible. is this a pmple or aboil I am LEET

[Reply #20 on:]

  Okay, am I doing something wrong?  Is the IQ test "How long it takes you to work out how to get past the loading stage" or something?

[Reply #21 on:]

  Tried again on the bbc website, and after the test got this message:

Congratulations!
Your general IQ score is 150.
A person whose IQ score falls in the range of 144-160 is considered to be "gifted". 
An IQ is a composite of your scores across 12 distinct types of intelligence. For example, in this test, your pattern recognition
score is 100%.

[Reply #22 on:]

That wasn't test the nation though was it?

[Reply #23 on:]

See now you're just making me feel thick Dark Prince 

[Reply #24 on:]

Well just did it and got 104 damn and on a different test I got 135. Acourding to one of my mates they vary it on age which sucks aah well maybe I am an idiot after all 

[Reply #25 on:]

  Okay, I just did it on The bbc test the nation one, and got...

Thank you very much for participating in The National IQ Test on the
BBC.  We hope you enjoyed it.
Your IQ score is:  121

  So there monkeyface, and that was the first time i've done it, and it was on the 16-19 age setting or whatever the lowest one was (I'm 18).

[Reply #26 on:]

Hmm I don't trust that they can make a sound phycological map of peoples intelligence from a shot test. Aaahh well it's not what you know it is what you do which count's
"If you do something roght people will not know if you have done anything at all."

[Reply #27 on:]

Well at least if we all do the same test the results are relative to eachother.

Only thing is I'm not from the UK, and I really had no clue on the questions about money "if this was 35p..." etc.. So I unofficially grant myself 5 extra points to get 121. hahah. 

[Reply #28 on:]

Just took the test, at the end I realized that I screwed up my e-mail address... Looks like I got the one wrong that is "write your name"

  Ahh, but the one I got 150 on was a yankee one, asking my questions like if I spent 20 dollars, and got change, would I get more dimes than nickels.  How the hell was I supposed to know? 

[Reply #30 on:]

Yeah, but where are you from?

[Reply #31 on:]

  Britain.

Dear richard@f3k.org
Thank you very much for participating in The National IQ Test on the BBC.
We hope you enjoyed it.
Your IQ score is:
126

That's in the 20-34 yrs category, as I am 20 years old.

I think it's a pretty good score, given that I'm not living in an English speaking country, and thus haven't the faintest idea what words like "feint" means 
Good thing the test was heavy on numbers and objects.

[Reply #33 on:]

Also, I have blue eyes  And is that a few gray "intelligence" hairs I see there on my head?

[Reply #34 on:]

  "Feint" - make a deceptive, movement.  Nice one though, you only dropped about 10 marks.

Well I'm not male, I dont have blue eyes and I've got no grey hairs. Maybe thats where I'm going wrong   

I'm not really bothered about my IQ score coz it doesn't change who I am as a person and I dont consider myself to be thick  So therefore I'm happy 

[Reply #36 on:]

I did it by watching the tape becuase I didn't do it when it was live. I got 112 which now seems for me woefully inadequate.   

No offence to anyone who got lower.

[Reply #37 on:]

I know what you mean. I was surprised by my result. I was sure I'd get higher than I did but I'm not bothered about it 

[Reply #38 on:]

What was with all those "Which shape, when rotated, is backwards relative to the others" questions?  Don't they realise they're talking to the Tetris Generation?

[Reply #39 on:]

*Bump*

Tonight in Australia they are airing a national IQ test. All you Aussies watch Ch9 at 7:30pm (AEST) tonight and get back with your scores!!!
