Me too.
Did it on my iPad......don't know how to do a screen shot or I would have furnished evidence.
I enjoyed doing that one. It wasn't what I expected.

I got the same result, it also said I was very patient.
Don't understand why, I've been spotting flaws, faults, and discrepancies most of my working life, it was part of the job when I was serving my time at Lang's

Yes, I think that if you had any job that required you to be observant you would do alright in this test

Oh Cashy...that isn't what you are supposed to say.
You are supposed to tell us that you are also in with the top 4%.........and that you are just acting dumb

I clicked on "this test" in your post Dave and guess what, nothing happens.

Re: Proper clever me!

Apparently I'm in the top 4% also. Bit of a shock to me - won't tell you what his nibs said when I told him my result - after he stopped laughing that is, especially about the patient bit. I'm inclined to agree with Cashy's comments.

Re: Proper clever me!

I'm dubious at best about intelligence quizzes and this one is no different....

....It put me in the top 4%-surely that can't be right

Only 5% of world population speaks english and understands the questions

'In the mid-20th century, nearly 9 percent of the world's population grew up speaking English as their first language. In 2050, the number is expected to be 5 percent. "Population growth amongst speakers of languages other than English has been greater," Graddol said.26 Feb 2004'

No Gremlin mate, "this test" at the end of the actual article & as it appears you'll probably also be part of the top 4% like so many of us.

Re: Proper clever me!

About three months after starting secondary school, my Daughter proudly came home with a letter from her maths teacher inviting her to take a test for junior mensa. Of course her mother and I were proud to read such a missive and told her that it was her choice she could decide to take the test or not. She told us she would think about it.

A few days later I asked her if she had decided to take the test.

Her reply proved to me that she didn't need to take any test to prove her intelligence, it was something like this:-

"Well dad, I've decided that I won't take the test, after all, they charge a fee, I think it would be a bit stupid to spend good money just to get a Certificate proving what people putting me forward for the test already think I am".
