The test is a hoax. It gives the "below average" logical intelligence no matter how you do. Also one of the answers is incorrect. Read the rest of this thread.

Yeah, and also I agree with you about the Hindi thing, I said Hindi anyway, but I was forewarned, I have no idea what I would of said in reality probably Hindi :wink: as AFAIK India has 16 or so fairly widely spoken languages so by population I would of said it was lower even if Hindi is common although that's my ignorance I guess. Your point stands.

EDIT: correction it has 24 languages and 1562 dialects, man!

High verbal and math. Well, shoot, shouldn't I be one of those people who goes around saying mathematics is a language? o:)

Maybe it's because of my low logical intelligence. :frown:

I'll let you in on a little secret I got every single question right AFAIK and I got below average logic, everyone gets below average logic or less, that's why it's a dirty IQ test, because if you take it your logic is flawed.:smile: IMO it's harder to get every question wrong than right though:smile:
