It might be interesting to know the average IQ of forum members here. I'll bet it isn't on the low side. Often what people write is not a direct indicator of their IQs, particularly if they are of a personality type that communicates unconventionally.
Mine is about average, but a lot of the questions seem to be worded to me oddly so I can't figure out exactly what they are wanting-even if there is only one possible answer, I can't figure out how to get from the question to the answer, if that makes sense
I also feel like an idiot, but they always say if you don't know the answer to something, make a guess... but then the test says whatever you do, don't just guess, lol.
Ambiguous questions in an IQ test indicate a failing on the part of the persons devising the test. Unless the ambiguities are constructed by the mind of the test taker of course! Sometimes I can figure out what they mean rather than what they are actually asking. Sometimes not!
Fotunately the better tests of this type are not at all ambiguous.
