I was a 133. I think they marked down my score because I was stupid enough to pay the 15 bucks to buy the report at the end. But at the risk of giving things away, I have issues with a couple of the questions. The "one of these things is not like the others" questions in particular seem to me to have been screwy. {mule,kangaroo,cow,deer,donkey}, I picked the one which is a hybrid animal unable to sexually reproduce, but the correct answer was the marsupial. I demand a recount. Similar issues with the fruit-oriented one.

mule,kangaroo,cow,deer,donkey Of course it's the 'roo that is in a different category. The others can be ridden.

I picked that the grape was the odd one out, since everything else grew on trees (at least I think they all do). What was the answer for that one? I didn't give them the information they wanted and didn't get the results, other than score and categories of strength. Grapes seemed to fit since they are grown on a vine.
However, I thought about the coconut however, because all of the other fruits could be carried by a swallow.

LOL! I agree. I also had issues with a few of the questions, but this is not unusual for me. I scrapped over a lot of answers on tests when I was in college, and as long as I could show my cognitive process, I usually won if the question had been marked wrong. I scored 129 on this one, but have typically scored over 135 on these types of tests. I am sometimes too discriminating in my interpretations.

Oh yeah, and I'm an insightful linguist.

I can't believe you missed the marsupial question!
For shame! Go sit in the corner!
