Default Who\'s a clever girl (or boy) then?

Well, we've looked at our personality types, now for the real crunch:

WHAT'S YOUR IQ?

Modesty prevents me from saying exactly how brill I apparently am............

Suffice it to say that the embarassment of the British online IQ test of last year is firmly behind me, but I am not QUITE Mensa material.........

I'm afraid it would take far too long to explain points 1 and 3 in any great depth, ROB. However:

Quote:
What is a correlation coefficient?
Given a pair of related measures (X and Y) on each of a set of items, the correlation coefficient (r) provides an index of the degree to which the paired measures co-vary in a linear fashion. In general r will be positive when items with large values of X also tend to have large values of Y whereas items with small values of X tend to have small values of Y. Correspondingly, r will be negative when Items with large values of X tend to have small values of Y whereas items with small values of X tend to have large values of Y. The value of r is calculated by first converting the Xs and Ys into their respective Z Scores and, keeping track of which Z Score goes with which item, determining the value of the mean Z Score product. Numerically, r can assume any value between -1 and +1 depending upon the degree of the relationship. Plus and minus one indicate perfect positive and negative relationships whereas zero indicates that the X and Y values do not co-vary in any linear fashion.

Hope this helps!!

I got 131 and it said I was an Insightful Linguist.

I also scored 131 Lee and i am a Precision Processor which means "among other thing you have superior skills in mathematics"- i don't think.

I only wish someone had told my A Level examiner who gave me a D.

Well done, everyone - especially my fellow '129ers!!' - what a clever bunch we are!

However . . . . . the 'boys' are conspicuous by their absence on this thread, aren't they?

Come on, chaps!

I started it and got to question 9, but then got bored and gave up.

I have the attention span of a goldfish.

OK, I'll do the test for real in a minute but as an experiment I went through it clicking on random answers.

I got an IQ score of 91 doing it that way and I was a precision processor.

Let's hope I do better when I think about the answers.
