IQ Me

Got a 127 in the Emode IQ test, so Anne is smarter than me. I did also get the Insightful Linguist.

At the same time, we compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is an Insightful Linguist.

The first thing we can tell you about that is you have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. But that's just scratching the surface.

Yeah, I can deal with that.

Once upon a time, I loved math. Well, I loved Algebra. Then came Geometry. Followed shortly by Pre-Calculus. And my dreams of being a math teacher went up in flames.

Anne:

I was just the opposite. I hate Algebra I and II. Then I took Geometry and Trig and *loved* them. Weird.

Robert:

I failed school and just could cypher arithmetic and I took the test and got 126 and Insightful Linguist.

TJ:

What exactly is an Insightful Linguist? What bearing does this have in my life?

rozilini Fernandez:

I am pleasantly surprised that I am an insightful linguist. Certainly I have the gift of tongues. I speak six different languages.

Well, I got a 129, but i don't know what's the highest score. Please let me know.

Me:

I'm confussed, what is the real meaning of insightful linguist??? Is that bad, good or what?? Thx

jones:

yeah! i'm also interested what is the true meaning of it.

Look folks, I didn't make the quiz. I just took it and reported my answers.

Quiz, I believe, is here. Bitch to Emode, not me.

Mannie:

I got my results. It said, "I rather see the whip cream on her than on a ice cream sundae." Maybe that's the true meaning.

Those with the higher IQ, can you figure this out?

What's the next sequence?

I kinda like my score.

Myke:

Yep I took the test and scored 133 which is 5 less than when I did it 30 years ago I guess I'm getting old and stupid. I am evidently an insightfull linguist too.

This definition from a somewhat acidic professor.........

I will be blunt. It means you have been sold a bill of goods. That is, it

is literal nonsense. 'compatible as an Insightful Linguist" is quite literally nonsense -- it has no meaning -- it doesnt make any sense. And IQ tests, except in a very broad sense, dont tell you much about whether you would make a good linguist, let alone whether you would be compatible with one.

Hector:

I took it and some of your comments have circled me for some time, where can i find more about this...

spiro:

IQ tests are inconclusive. Got 133. However that relates to others, I know I am not bright. Can't get my head around binary.

Natalie:

I've been called alot of things in my life, but never an insightfull linguist before. I was flattered until I plugged it into the search box of the internet and found out that the world is full of insightfull linguist as myself, and I got a 118????? Go figure.....

Tammy Turner:

After reading all the responses, I feel that I would like further information on this 'Insightful Linguist' and 'Society for Aesthetic Deletions'. Information provided will be very helpful. My score was 118.

GuruChaz:

I think many people are actually smarter than they consider themselves. Remember, not everyone learns in the same structured manner as our school systems and colleges are setup for. Some people even have Attention Defecit Disorder (ADD or ADHD depending on which book you read). Most schools and colleges are not setup to handle that.
