What is your IQ as a trader?

[eagle]

Rearden was upset with his score. He really want to know what exactly his IQ is. He still not convinced that the low IQ he had obtained from that test does really prove his success in trading. Why? Because the IQ test was designed to focus on the left-brain (reason, dealing with simplicity) and trading is most used of the right-brain (emotion, dealing with complexity) that cannot be tested right now. No tool for it yet.

The right answer to intelligence is to test both sides, one side doesn't tell anything.

Quote from Rearden Metal:

<b>WARNING: DO NOT take the test at the above link!</b>

After you complete the test, but before you get your score you'll be hijacked for about 15 minutes as they try to get you to sign up for all sorts of crap, while repeatedly rejecting all your fake addresses & phone numbers. It's really frustrating, and totally not worth it just to get a rough approximation of your actual IQ score.

Anyone got a <b>good</b> link for this sort of thing?

These results have fat tails

You've jumped to an incorrect conclusion. My test result was 138, which is probably near-accurate in my case.

What pissed me off was the 15 minute spam-highway detour before getting my score. Plus, how reliable can a 43-question IQ test even be? Had I figured out the one single word that can be formed using all six letters NOPTYH, I'd have answered all 43 correctly. Would that have transformed my score from 138 to 150? Like I said: Not reliable.

4DTrader, you are pretty clueless if you thought we would enjoy this

What next, upload something with a virus to test our PC skills?

i scored a 133, and felt pretty ... bored .. doing this test as well. Too many redundant questions.

By the way, anyone who sits in front of the computer 8 hrs +/day to trade isn't terribly intelligent, no matter how high they score on this test.


... With that considered, I'm not as sharp as I'd like to consider myself.

lol now i know some people are lying about their score. it took me 1 minute to get past all the spam; just click 'skip' and 'no' repeatedly. if anyone couldn't figure this out, their iq is obviously not as high as they claim.

btw, no iq test is worth crap unless there's a time limit.

I am not associated with the website whatsover, I didn't like the advertising part myself, but ads are what support websites, got to deal with them (Heard Google is going to produce display ads with your search result).
Anyway, during the test, I typed the zip code of 45678 and I was given Scotttown, Ohio. I lived in Ohio for a couple of years, never heard of that place.
