The questions are actual IQ test questions but there aren't very many of them. Thus this test has the usual problem associated with trivia: you can only answer the ones you know (exposure to information is not the same as intellectual ability). You see this when playing trivial pursuit. You might know the answers to most of the questions asked (and feel pretty smart), but if you're unlucky enough to get questions you've never been exposed to, you lose.
It's also true that people who lived long ago did not have the accumulation of knowledge that we have today. But that doesn't make them less intelligent. In fact, reading the biographies of folks like Mozart, Newton, Calvin and others, you have to wonder, with so many more people today, why we don't have even more prodigies?
Well my results were favorable, as I got questions I happened to know. Here's the results:
| Your IQ Is 140 |
 Your Logical Intelligence is Genius Your Verbal Intelligence is Genius Your Mathematical Intelligence is Genius Your General Knowledge is Genius |
I've actually taken professionally administered IQ tests before and got different results, but this one's just for fun.
