Just for fun! Test your IQ, and get the gift of self-knowledge this Christmas! It doesn't take long, and it's relatively painless. It's scientifically accurate as well! Give it a shot!!

I am not strong on that perticular field. But I got England out of it.
Nope. Bananas have never had seeds.
I do know plants and herbs.
Comrey will have seeds, but they won't make a plant.
You have to get plants from the stolens they produce.
Like they do with bananas.

To explain the concern and the fight to solve it, one must first delve into banana history. Although commonplace today, bananas only became a staple in North America's diet late in the last century. They could do so because of a genetic freak--a spontaneous mutation in a kind of banana native to Southeast Asia.
The new banana was big, sweet, and seedless. (Those little black flecks near the center of a banana are vestigial seeds, mere echoes of the real thing. A full banana seed is big, hard, and neighborly; scores of them stud a seeded banana.) It was a natural triploid, meaning it had three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two.
Anybody know which answer is really right??
High Five and Mensa are actually the two easiest to get into basing entry off of MAT, SAT, and GRE scores.
Can't imgaine they are any more socially apt than Mensa. ;-)
It's the marsupial -- the kangaroo! I nearly overthought it at first, which most tend to do, but they actually are looking for the easiest answer.
I did. See comment #86.
I think I'll pass on them all! *G* I dunno; I'm just not comfortable with "elitist" stuff. That's why my mother and I do not get along. Her profile on eBay is disgustingly elitist, and nearly made me puke. Apparently, she is now teaching my nieces to be little elitist snobs as well, which is what prompted our discussion that put me and the rest of my immediate family at odds.
My baby sister said that I was "attacking" my mother. I wasn't. I was questioning her reasoning. The woman is an ordained Methodist minister, for heaven's sakes, and she is teaching my nieces to thumb their noses at "ordinary people!" (And bragging about it!) They're not my kids -- I have no children -- so it may well be none of my business, but I find it incredibly unsettling. So shoot me! (They probably would like to!)
Oh well. Que sera sera!
I hope you meant to say "like"!

Just to test it, I went back and tried to answer everything wrong ... I got a 73, Inventive Inquisitor.
After re-examining it and reading some threads, it's clear that there is NO wrong answer on some of the questions.
Not that I put much stock in these, but the numbers posted in this thread don't surprise me because
On another note, I haven't read much on IQ tests lately, but I remember when I took it one high school I got two scores (139, and 149, IIRC) ... but since I was under 18, they wouldn't let me meet the quack who explained what the results meant ... he talked to my parents, they talked to me: the gist of it was "It's meaningless, but you did real good."
You are correct, o' savage one! *G* Grape it was!
;-}
BTW -- all on this thread are invited to read a story that I posted here.
God Jul,
Sharon
