OK, here's a really neat intelligence test. [This is the third time it has been posted on SI, but so what (gg)] Do exactly as the directions indicate. It is very enlightening! Do not cheat or you'll be sorry! Good Luck! READ this sentence: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS. Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do not go back and count them again. See below... Answer below... Answer below... Answer below... Answer below... Answer below... Answer below... Answer below... Answer below... ANSWER: There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the OFs. The human brain tends to see them as "V's" instead of "F's". - Jeff P.S. Thanks to Asner on the Stock Swap Chat thread.
