Ya think it might eliminate some of us?

not really Kate...
the reason i laughed is cuz it's not a REAL IQ test...
it's more about defining your ability to be a good employee...
it's been a long time since i took it, but if it's still the same one, there is a convoluted question that ends up with you having to decide if England is a country or not...
is it? or is it a state in a Kingdom?...

Nah different test, glass. Actually for the most part this particular test is pretty fair with the exception that it is not timed.
i like the ones( the most) with the boxes you have unfold and fold in your mind....

i think it's OK now tho....
Sort of reminds me of the one we took in highschool!
Despite all the talk questioning Bush's ability to pronounce words and claims that Kerry is a fussy intellectual, some pseudo-scientists are saying the Massachusetts senator's IQ may actually be lower than the president's.
Steve Sailer, a columnist for Vdare.com, has a few interesting things to point out in his column about the brainwaves of the presidential candidates.
"There's been a lot of talk about how Senator Kerry has a lot higher IQ than Bush … the thing is, though, there's very little hard evidence out there," Sailer told FOX News on Tuesday.
At the age of 22, both men took the IQ-type tests required of candidate military officers — Bush took one to get into the Air National Guard and Kerry took one in his efforts to become a Navy officer. Sailer said that Kerry scored in the 50th percentile — about average for all who applied with him but "well above average intelligence" of others.
On his Air Force Qualifying Test, the president "scored a little bit better, better than about 2/3 of the applicants," Sailer said.
While the two tests aren't perfectly comparable, Sailer says they provide no evidence that Kerry is smarter and that, if anything, Bush is smarter than Kerry.
Bush got a 1206 on his SATs, the college entrance exams, and maintained a C+ average at Yale University. His graduate management aptitude test score and grades at Harvard Business School are not known, however.
Kerry's grades and academic test scores remain wholly unavailable, but he did not graduate from Yale with honors.
Bush actually has higher IQ — in the mid 120s, Sailer said, while Kerry's is about an even 120.
"The question is, first of all, is Bush really as dumb as Democrats like to say? The answer is no, he's a clever man. Is Kerry quite as smart as people think he is? Probably not," Sailer told FOX News.
But the president can do some things to get rid of the blundering idiot image, Sailer said.
"I think what we've seen is that, it would probably do the president some good for somebody to sit down and say 'Mr. President, you have degrees from the two most popular colleges in the United States' and you can fly a fighter jet but 'you can really buckle down and sweat the details a little bit more than you're doing,'" Sailer said.
