Plato Lives!

#3: Mastercard lives longer!

I got sucked into this clever money-making scheme at one of the IQ test sites. Curious to find out if my IQ has resisted deterioration over years of writing tabloid-ish accounts of my life, I quickly went over the 20 questions for reassurance.

This is what I got:
"Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns."

Interesting, yes.
Reassuring, I don't know. (It did say I'm good at Math and since I know that I'm not, that basically puts the credibility of the whole test and its results in question.) Hah.

Time to finish the test: 10 minutes.
Time to read the results: 10 seconds.
The marketing tricks employed to get you to hand over your credit card details: Priceless.
