I admit that I tried the test, not so much because I wanted to test my intellect (since I'm convinced that I'm probably not as smart as I think I am), but because I thought the bunny icon was cute. I became a bit suspicious when I noticed that the test wasn't timed (yes, I admit that I have tried one or two "serious" IQ tests on-line), and when it didn't ask my age, but I was no less curious to see my final score.
I became even more suspicious when the final score didn't reflect what I had found to be stupidly-easy questions, so on a hunch I went through it again (it finally got over being slash-dotted) and picked all wrong answers. It gave me an even higher score. That's when I finally figured out that there was something very suspect about the site...
... but I still hadn't figured out that it was a joke.
I humbly blame my lack of coffee at that point, but on the other hand, maybe I really DO deserve to wear the "78" label that my friends apparently saw. =)
*shrugs* I got about 90% through the test...got bored...went somewhere else. Pretty sure if it was a legit test I would have tested pretty high...I've never taken an IQ test. The questions on the thing seem more geared towards your spatial acuity then anything else or at the very least they were the “hardest” The x is to y as z is to blah was cake. It was actually somewhat of a fun test.
