Got locked out from my linux workstation early morning. Browsed thro’ EETimes, Malaysiakini, thestar; checked my hotmail, yahoo & friendster (with my laptop) and at 7am I was done with those. So, to kill some time while waiting for the IT guy to report to work, I “wu liao”-ly clicked at the pop-up link that brought me to complete a set of 130+ tickle questions. At the wee hour of the morning, I scored 131.
Congratulations, Hui!Your IQ score is 131
This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others. Your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
Curious to know what 131 means, I asked the person who knows best -> the omniscience Mr. Google. Look what I've found at the first return of the search.

Half of the population have IQ’s of between 90 and 110, while 25% have higher IQ’s and 25% have lower IQ’s:
Descriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients
IQ Description % of Population
130+ Very superior 2.2%
120-129 Superior 6.7%
110-119 High average 16.1%
90-109 Average 50%
80-89 Low average 16.1%
70-79 Borderline 6.7%
Below 70 Extremely low 2.2%
Apparently, the IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific occupation. In their book, Know Your Child’s IQ, Glen Wilson and Diana Grylls outline occupations typical of various IQ levels:
140 Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.
130 Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)
120 School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers.
110 Foremen; Clerks; Telephone Operators; Salesmen; Policemen; Electricians.
100+ Machine Operators; Shopkeepers; Butchers; Welders; Sheet Metal Workers.
100- Warehousemen; Carpenters; Cooks and Bakers; Small Farmers; Truck and Van Drivers.
90 Laborers; Gardeners; Upholsterers; Farmhands; Miners; Factory Packers and Sorters
WOOWWW….. Mr Glen Wilson & Miss Diana Grylls certainly do think very highly of the Engineers.
**The tickle questions were very similar to my favoriate paper in UPSR. An extra paper we had to sit for in 1991....which was called Ujian Perolehan?!?! Argggh... I can't recall. Anyone can help? What was that extra IQ paper called?
