    I didn't know it would be so long, but I managed. It says the following:

    Our analyses indicate that your Intellectual Type is: Precision Processor. This means that among other things, you have superior skill in mathematics.


    Math was always a strong point in school, and my two boys are strong is math as well.

    So, what is the Shrub's IQ? I'm curious to know how I did on each question, but not curious enough to spend $15.

    They gave me a score of 122, and said my type is Precision Processor. I too am curious, but not enough to spend the $15!

    That was my score exactly too. I'm too cheap to spend the money.

    There used to be some tests on www.queendom.com that would give you some info. and IQ tests. I don't remember having to pay for results either. I haven't visited that site in quite a while though, so I am not sure what they are like now.

    That's what I am. It took me a few tries to find the numerical score, and I'm not curious enough to spend %15.00 either.

    I am a Visual Mathematician with a score of 129. DH almost spit out his drink when he read that because we both know that math is NOT my strongsuit.

    I got a 140 and it says I'm a visual mathemetician. Math and science are by far my strong suits, so I guess it's describes me fairly well. I'm definitely not spending the $15 bucks to get the full report. LOL

    I was a 133, which makes me a Facts Curator. That sounds so nerdy.

    What the heck is the answer to the people going 30 and 10 mph, versus 20 mph the whole time. I think I got the pythagoreum theorum one. Score one for my geometry teacher............................

    I'm a Visual Mathematician...had a score of 129. I'd like to know more, too, but not $15 worth of curious.

    (PS..."Visual Mathematician"??? Hello! I hate dealing with math/numbers/etc. )

    My 142 (pretty close to your score) was a Visionary Philosopher. I wonder if we got different questions wrong, or if the name change breaks between our scores. DH and I actually got the same score, I believe, and then we retook it together to see if we could get anything different. Still got the same thing. And yes, we are both math nerds too.

    No, it's not based on you score. I got 127 and I also got Visionary Philosopher. I guess it's based on what questions you got right or wrong. It said I did equally well on math and verbal questions.

    Now I'm tempted to shell out the $15 to see what the right answers are and how it breaks everything down. If I do get the report, I'll post the results here.

    Ok. What can I say. I'm a sucker and shelled out the $15. Hey, I'm still on bedrest and I'm bored.

    So, if anyone wants to know the answer to a question, let me know. I don't think I can copy and paste all the info here. It's pretty cool. It shows you all the questions and what you answered and what the right answer is. Also tells you all the percentiles and everything. I only got one wrong: the question abou the fruits (coconut, grape, etc).

    As others have said, I don't think the "intelligence type" is related to the overall score. Rather, it has to do with the type of questions you got right or wrong. So, they are actually giving you two completely different sets of information: 1) your "IQ" and 2) your "type."

    I, by the way, scored 136 and am a allegedly a "Visual Mathemetician."

    As Susan said, the answer is that the person going 20 mph would have finished first. If you just pick a random distance to use in mock calculations you can figure it out. For simple math say the distance between x and y is 10 miles. Then Jack would have done the first part (x to y) in 1/3 of an hour, but the way back would have taken him a whole hour for 1.3 hours total. Where as Sandy would have done the whole thing in an hour.

    Can you tell I was a math major?

    Oh, and I got a 133 and they called me a Word Warrior - yeah right!

    The grape. I have no idea why (or why not).

    Yay, i got that one right! I put grape. My reasoning was that grapes grow on vines, and apples/pears/coconuts grow on trees.
