BBC – Test The Nation

Follow-up to IQ Tests from The randomness of tomorrow, today!

I still hate IQ Tests, and the BBC’s Test The Nation is the worst of the lot. For one thing, doing it online is a tedious affair; despite the fact you cannot change your answer, it still insists on waiting the full time limit for each question. Plus the questions are just as annoying, maybe more; I’m sure the Spot The Difference photos are the same…

I still don’t see what many of them have to do with intelligence, but admitedly I can’t think of something I would be happy with; maybe something along the lines of “some object weighs 20 grams plus a third of its weight; how much does it weight” (I know it’s about mass not weight; I can’t think of a correct accessible way of phrasing it…).

Anyway, I got 127; same as the last one…

My breakdown is:

• TOTAL: 53/70 (I think I missed one because I was reading the FAQ while I waited; the rest’ll be properly wrong)
• OBSERVATION A (9): 6
• UNDERSTANDING (9): 8
• LOGIC (14): 9
• PUZZLE SOLVING (14): 10
• PERCEPTION (15): 13
• OBSERVATION B (9): 7
