Hehe I love Rick rolling. It's getting a bit old now, but what isn't is the inventive ways I've seen people come up with to do it.

The best one I saw was some guy explaining his relationship problems on facebook.

He started each reply with a word from the lyrics then at the end pointed it out, it was genius. :biggrin:

Good for you, I don't think anyone really takes the IQ test all that seriously, it could just be that you are extremely weak in one area (if its reading and comprehension it would explain it) that you compensate for by being very strong in other areas which gives you an edge.

when there is someone who brags about their IQ test scores all the time and I happen to be doing better than they are in course work, it is an excellent way to burst their ego :devil:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
And I said OH I think I remember this...nice song. And he said, "Oh this younger generation does not even know when they are being rick rolled." :-p

I did not even know what rick rolling was -_-

Related to IQ-test: only 12% of the population can solve this

1. What is an IQ-test?

An IQ-test is a standardized assessment used to measure a person's cognitive abilities, including problem-solving, critical thinking, and memory. It is often used to determine a person's intelligence quotient (IQ).

2. Why is only 12% of the population able to solve this particular IQ-test?

IQ-tests are designed to challenge a person's cognitive abilities, so it is expected that only a certain percentage of the population will be able to solve them. This particular IQ-test may have been designed to be more difficult than others, resulting in a smaller percentage of people being able to solve it.

3. Can someone improve their IQ score?

While IQ is typically thought to be a fixed trait, there is evidence that certain factors such as education, nutrition, and mental stimulation can help improve cognitive abilities and potentially increase IQ scores. However, the extent to which IQ scores can be improved is still a topic of debate among scientists.

4. Is a high IQ score a guarantee of success?

No, a high IQ score does not guarantee success. While IQ is associated with certain cognitive abilities, success is influenced by many other factors such as motivation, personality, and socio-economic status.

5. Are IQ-tests culturally biased?

There is ongoing debate about whether IQ-tests are culturally biased. Some argue that the tests favor certain cultural and educational backgrounds, while others argue that they are designed to be culturally neutral. Regardless, it is important to consider a person's cultural background and experiences when interpreting IQ scores.
