[mcginn]

I got 87% :shocked:(with a little help)


Is that good or bad????

[S and K rule]

did u do it over the internet i doen on pen and paper but i dont think il do very well

[mcginn]

i done it by the little red button:dance:

[LEE]

God knows how, but I managed to get 86%.

I'm obviously good at accurately guessing. :spin2:

Still, as I have just said to Mark, it isn't an IQ test, you just need to know what has happened this year. It doesn't mean you are intelligent if you do well, it just means you don't have a life and you spend all of your time in front of the TV.

Well that's good then because I only got 77% :blush:

I took the test on the Internet and they give you the scores for each section. Mine were

News 87%
Peoplenews 80%
Entertainment 80%
Sport 73%
General Knowledge 60%

They should have asked some questions about Big Brother and Fame Academy. :hugesmile:

[Romantic Old Bird]

If it's still available on the internet, I may try it in a few days.

There again, I may not. I am still traumatised by the IQ thing they did (was that a year ago?).

It was wildly inaccurate, had to be!!!!!!

Or perhaps my keen intellect was just too subtle for it................

[susieq]

I did it on a piece of paper rather than on the web. I got 55 out of 70 (don't know what that translates to in percentage terms). I obviously need to get out more!!

PS: Nice to see the lovely Mark Owen again.

[LEE]

I got 55 out of 70 (don't know what that translates to in percentage terms).
That's 79% Sue :hugesmile:

[sweetlittlesara]

hahahaha i got 61% :blush: ahh well...

[S and K rule]

i got below 40% now try and guess

[BigSister]

I got 66% But did best on Sport getting 13 out of 15
I thought it was funny with the groups in the audience:hugesmile:
:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant:

[Princess Pink Pants]

I got 67%, Im ok with that, coz its not too bad, but its not so good that it looks like I have no life either!

Well thats what Im gonna tell myself anyway! Lol!

[Kaz]

I got 71% :spin2:

Not too bad, considering I haven't bought or read a single newspaper all year! :thumbs:

Pleased to say I got the Will question right! :dazzler:

[blinkinlovely]

I did the quiz online this morning and got 81% - was a bit benused to find that it was only 2002 stuff (soaps etc). Is that a sign of intelligence?

[WILDCHILD]

You are all so brainy!!:flower::spin::shocked:
I got 57% but Im not that bothered!!!:spin2:

[LEE]

was a bit benused to find that it was only 2002 stuff (soaps etc). Is that a sign of intelligence?
It wasn't meant to be an IQ test blinkinlovely, it was just a review of the year, testing your knowledge of what has happened in 2002.

[BusyBee]

Sorry if everyone is fed up with this, but am catching up.

Well not wishing to show off, but I got 86% (though must admit there were a lot of guesses amongst them) - still I beat OH = who said it is because I know a lot about nothing and a little about a lot whatever that means.:spin::spin::spin2::spin2:

I got 125 on the IQ test last year, so somewhere hidden very deep in my head there is a brain well perhaps, maybe :hugesmile::hugesmile:
