it has instructions for digital cable on the website. doesnt go so specific as sub-areas tho...

i find the idea of sending results by txt funny tho. ending up sending abcdbcdabdbcbabd etc just makes me laff for some reason...

These things are all wrong anyway.
I did the first one and came out with a good score - implying that I'm bright or something!

damn. the last mensa test i did gave me an IQ of 132 grr.

oh well im happy knowing that im still fairly intelligent...

dont you think its unfair though that on these bbc tests if someone say 16 gets a score of 50, their IQ is lower than a person say 45 whoo also gets 50? or have i missed something about how IQs are ranked? :shrug:

IQ is not rated on age...

130+ is within the top 2% of the population btw

They rate the average IQ of the population as being 100, if a 16 yr old has an IQ of 50 then he / she has more issues than you would think... lol

i was referring to the scores the bbc use... being a test out of 70 and all duh :p i see a high IQ doesnt always bring common sense ;)

Yes the test is out of 70, but they estimate an IQ based on the test scores

We did it as a family, and got 117, which was just about average.
