Test the Nation 2004

Anyone else going to have a go at this tonight ?

The whole family here all like to have a go at this (individually) to see how well they do - even the youngest, who obviously guesses most but still loves the taking part

I'm stunned.

All the interest shown towards quizes and IQ tests in these forums and no one here watched or took part in a big, national, televised quiz

Oh well, I did, and got 50/70

ive done it all the other times it was on. there is only so many times the novelty of testing your IQ works.....

i watched a bit of it, but it stuck me that it was more a test of knowledge and experiene than IQ- for example, knowing what the statue of liberty looks like is not a test of IQ

I have done the test before and done a mensa test so i didn't do it again.

So is no one going to share their score? I would have thought you guys would have been clambering to do so!

To start the ball rolling, mine was 132 - about the same as last year.

I couldn't be bothered to do it again. I did it previously and IIRC came out around the 140 mark, but because of their age categorisation system I was limited to a maximum of something like 147 anyway.

The point is, though, all this really proves is whether someone's good at doing IQ tests...!

120.. not too bad as i had to hit the "boss button" (alt-tab

) a few times and missed 5 or 6
