I took the 5 minute quiz yesterday and scored higher than I thought I should. I guess this was just to get me to try another. So this morning I did. I took the 1st one. It was 35 questions that felt like 135. I scored 132 and found out that it was a gimmick to get you to join their High IQ Society. There is a one-time, lifetime membership fee of $59.95. Wow what a bargain! <Said with sarcasm.> I could spend $60 to be part of a club that I never heard of. As a member, you will have access to our chat rooms, discussion forums (both general and subject-specific), online game tournaments, puzzles, and the Society's publication, IQ Magazine. You will also have the opportunity to become a member of the International Research Institute, an online think tank which assists corporate, government, and non-profit entities in the search for solutions to complex problems. I think I'm smart enough to keep my sixty dollars... BTW, I cheated on a couple of questions. Used a calculator for one and Google for another. Thought about breaking out the dictionary for the other ones but figured it would take too much time. Picked "D" on ones I didn't know. I wonder how many cheaters have joined their society... -Clappy The Low IQ Cheater P.S. I did enjoy taking the quizzes though.
