Do you have the mind of a genius?

Post by pete9012S »

Do you have the mind of a genius? Tricky 15-question quiz reveals if you possess 'superior intelligence'
The 15 question quiz designed to test intelligence was created by Terry Stein
It was shared to PlayBuzz, with results revealing mental agility and intuitiveness
Those who score nine and above are predicted to 'probably' have an IQ over 151

I had a go. I got three fifths correct, minus two apples from Colin, four bananas from Sid.
My score was therefore no greater or lesser than the amount of players Everton started their last game with.. :D

I only got one wrong, but I also tried to click the correct answers on the photos more than twice... I think I lose IQ points for that :lol:

I'm just pleased I got all but one maths question right as I'm AWFUL at maths. The last question took a lot of thinking about as I always get caught out by those types and want to say "£500!".

15 for me. :lol: If I have the mind of a genius, it's incredible that within the last week I've learnt something new from two books/stories intended for children! From the Enid Blyton tale 'Story of a Silk Frock' I learnt that silkworms spin their silken thread from their lower lips, and from the Ladybird book Butterflies, Moths and Other Insects I found out that only male orange-tip butterflies have orange patches at the tips of their wings.

I also got 15. I certainly don’t regard myself as a genius. I found that I could answer the questions relatively easily. :D

Likewise, I also scored 15. It's hardly MENSA stuff though, which are a lot tougher. :D

I had a laugh at one of the comments underneath the quiz, saying that it's just the Daily Mail making their readers feel better about themselves!

I got 15/15 as well, but am unsure how I feel about being a genius by Daily Mail standards!
