A grape grows on a vine, the others grow on trees.Nope, bananas have no seed. The rest do.

[carenot]

Well, technically, a banana "tree" isn't a tree - it's an herb (a big, tree-like herb). So, I discounted the tree vs. vine thing.</>

Correct, but the answer HAS to be banana because it is the only one that has no seed.

A coconut IS a seed.

Add another 144 to the tally. The key to this test is to just not think about it too much, especially on the pattern-matching questions; go with your gut feeling. The standard elimination process for multiple choice questions also works well, in case you have doubts.

Basically, this seemed more a measure of one's ability to take tests than anything else. I should know; playing the standardized test game, I was valedictorian of my HS class and won a lot of awards--yet I didn't seem to have learned a damned thing!

(tangent) As much as I like to laugh at people who score 400-whatever on the SAT and feel superior (momentarily at least!) I agree more and more than standardized tests are a bunch of crap!

Bananas DO have seeds. The bananas you find in grocery stores are like seedless grapes in that they are a seedless hybrid. Those little brown spots at the center of a banana are where the "wild" variety would have seeds.

This site is a "massage session" you can't score poorly, why, your feel-bads might get hurt.

My feelings sure got hurt.

The only one I was sure of was the fruit thing.

Oh, good. I'm pretty sure that a genius IQ level is 150. I bet they assume that no one in modern day America is smart enough to have an IQ remotely in that range, especially teens.

and the guy brought in a tape recorder from the mid fifties

I thought they just had wire recorders then.

I think that is why they call it, "wearing a wire".

A lot of people don't remember why, if someone keeps saying the same thing, over and over, they will be told they sound like a "broken record".

129 not bad for an idiot! Looks like they use the Harvard inflationary grading system.

Pray for GW and the Truth!

[carenot]

Actually I believe that coconut is the only non fruit amoung the choices

Coconut is a fruit. It has a huge husk around the seed, that we call a coconut.

BUT it is a seed ... kinda grey area I think

My Ultimate IQ score is 127. (That's low, I think.)

Like Albert Einstein, I have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information. These skills, combined with my strengths in logic, make me a visual mathematician.

Take THAT, naughty spawn! The Visual Mathematician strikes again!

[Xenalyte]

I just got an illuminating e-mail. All you other Visual Mathematicians out there, check this out:

60% of Visual Mathematicians wait for the other person to make the first move on a date.

(No word on how many of those 60% are well-brought-up warrior princesses.)

[oldvike]

Actually, I think 127 puts you in about the 95th percentile.

[oldvike]

60% of Visual Mathematicians wait for the other person to make the first move on a date.

Well, I tested out as a Visual Mathematician too. That 60% figure sounds about like me (unless I'm a little tipsy, of course). ;^)

I scored 127 also. It said my intellectual type was: LOUD-MOUTHED DIPSHIT! How'd they know I was from Texas?

[George Smiley]

Oh no.

Word Warrior = Sheila Green.

Bad, bad thing.

[Xenalyte]

I scored 127 also. It said my intellectual type was: LOUD-MOUTHED DIPSHIT! How'd they know I was from Texas?

What I wanna know is how it DIDN'T know I am!

Sungirl posted something about Rush's surgery and it gets yanked? What's up wi' that, man?

Beats me! I can only surmise that the moderator thought it was off-topic and yanked it. I didn't mind that it was there; I didn't know that, and knowledge was the topic, after all! *G*

In the late 80's I gave Mensa a shot. Found out their group E.Q. (supposed Emotional Intelligence) was about 35 with their Social I.Q. even lower.

TeeHee. Me too. I went to an "open house" kind of thing with my father, hosted by our local Mensa Society. I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but Nashville's was a serious disappointment. Neither of us was interested in joining, I'm afraid. (Dad's IQ is considerably higher than mine, and he has a doctorate in education from George Peabody College for Teachers; graduated top of his class that year.) We both were viable candidates, or we wouldn't have been invited, but that particular "open house" was stifling and dull. They may have had an "off night." I don't know. But I've survived without joining, and I don't believe that I have suffered for it! ;-}
