So I got 5 out of 10 correct on that Lateral Thinking Puzzle IQ Test. All I can say is "What the cuss?!" I don't remember all of the test, and I don't feel like taking it again. Thinking outside of the box is WAY too much work for my non-creative mind; my IQ score according to The Internet falls between 130 and 138, so let's say I was average in that range thus I scored a 134.5... The Internet IQ tests seem to be a mite bit harder than the one I took in Halfen's class. 134 : 142 : 134.5.
I played around with the Brain Bashers site. Again, I do not think outside of the box at all. The illusions are easy enough, but I think it's only because I've managed to train my brain in spotting illusions because of the pop-culture integration of illusions when we were babies. By babies I mean younger than 18. The games... were just normal games.
As for the Lumosity thing, I felt like I was playing Brain Age... but the repetitive-ness of it made me a little tired and bored. If there's one thing I dislike about tests, it's lengthiness.
The Narcoleptic article was interesting but scary. I think if I had a friend like her, I'd be so scared for her life. As for the handwriting article, I think I already knew that intuitively. I've changed how I've written my "2's" twice and, just recently, my "y's."
"By babies I mean younger than 18."
ReplyDeleteYou DO call everyone a baby! Or you call them children. And i'm just like, "Beth! that poor man is 40!" xD
Oh wait...this is my second post on your blog. Now I feel like a creeper.
Anyways, good assessment of the quizzes and games :3
don't fret girl, i got a pretty bad score on that lateral thinking test. i guess all great minds don't think alike... psst... we do have a narcoleptic friend....
ReplyDeleteI got a pretty bad score too :/ I don't think that some of those questions were really "out of the box" types. Cause some of them were very dependant on how you pronounce things or where you're from. So feel smart regardless lol
ReplyDeleteI did pretty badly on that test as well..while other ppl seemed to be getting them i just picked random answers haha..aww I like the lumosity site! ps- I like your happy sounding song-ive nvr heard it but its nice:)
