It's a vocabulary/reading comprehension test, not a true IQ test, although it appears to use IQ scoring standards. The test took me 12 minutes to complete. I guess this is one area where being a geek is an advantage! :wink:
I'm an avid reader, took Latin in High School and have been writing since grade school. (Yes, I am the dork that reads the Encyclopedia for fun.
ops: ) I write fiction as well as technical manuals. I am also an award winning Poet.
So matcat, whether you believe it or not, there are those of us who possess an extensive vocabulary, as well as superb reading comprehension skills. Practice makes perfect. :wink:
Now, if we were being tested on one of your areas of expertise, like beer, I'm sure you would beat me easily. :wink:
