    Challenged by Sleepywitch, I took the test here:
    http://similarminds.com/intdoor-verbal.html

    And got this result:
    “Your overall percentile is 97% which means you scored higher than 97% of the people who have taken this test. The internet population tends to be more intelligent so your percentile might be higher if the test taking sample was perfectly random.”

    Am reminded of the saying "Little things please little minds."

    (Of course, percentile is not very revealing - the test might previously have been taken just by 5 ten-year olds)
    Voices mysterious far and near,
    Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
    Are calling and whispering in my ear,
    Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?

    Whoopie for me .A person who likes to read would almost be expected to have high verbal intelligence.
    Your overall percentile is 94% which means you scored higher than 94% of the people who have taken this test.
    Oh, I didn't mean to come across snotty or anything...just in a bad mood.

    hehe congrats Whiffle. IF it is a valid IQ test (not some crappy online quiz thingy) and hasn't been taken by only 5 ten year olds your results mean that your IQ (at least the verbal one) is almost 130, 130 being the bench mark for gifted people. But of course you'd need to take a test on different types of intelligence and get an overall score of 130 to count as gifted

    hehe, kathy, I talked him (? her?) into taking this test because of his/her hilarious acronyms in the the acronym game.

    Congrats and good luck! God, I love the feeling of finishing something before a deadline

    I have a boast!

    I WON THE ARCHERY TOURNAMENT AT MY SCHOOL!!!

    I got a score of 254 total for six rounds. The highest score possible for each round is 54, and I averaged at 42.3! I beat all of the girls AND the guys. Woot!

    i just got my exam results from the end of the year back. I scored top for Lit on the exam and now im top of the class!
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
