Titolo: IQ test

(Since the last message, we have modified question 75.  When filling out,
please present this test, not the former.)
I'm conducting an experiment for college on behalf of the gifted program.
 
The following is an IQ test which I'm administering to various individuals.
 
The scores will be quantified later.  The designers of the test are gifted
individuals whose names will remain anonymous.  The test is genius level,
with a floor of 121 IQ and a ceiling of upwards of 190.  In a word, it is
very difficult.  I'm attempting to quantify results on a larger scale, hence
the presence of this test on the net today.  But a word to the wise.  If
you 
get some right, that is, a few, that does not mean that your IQ is 120 or
better.  Just guessing, one is bound to get some right.  For a more accurate
reading, a figure representing more than just a few correct is required.
 
Marginal scores, while they will be responded to with an IQ reading, will
not 
be considered in our overall analyses.  Appreciable figures WILL be.  If
you 
think that you are up to the challenge, print this off and struggle through
it for the next few days.  Do not spend more than 5 days on the test in order
to get an accurate result of your true intelligence.  We will assume that
each inquirer has taken this long to complete it.  Then send your test, 
legibly filled out, to

with six dollars in check or money order form (else no calculation of your
score will be attempted), and 
your E-mail (all checks have a waiting period for clearance; money orders
preferred).  Immediately upon receipt of your money-order, we will ship to
you, via the E-mail address you give: your IQ 
score, your overall rating within the pool of people taking the test thus
far, and a brief analysis of your potential.  When sending your "inquiry,"
include such information as: your age and your educational level, and your
motivation for wanting to do this (this will be kept confidential and is
only 
asked in the interest of academia).  If your IQ is extraordinarily high,
we 
may be contacting your E-mail for further tests.  Use anything on the test,
but don't ask other people for help.  Duplicate answers will be discounted.
Knowledge as such is not intelligence, but its utilization indicates certain
facts about it.  Part of the test is your ability to arrive at certain 
conclusions on your own, with minimal help.  The test is geared towards 
minimizing the room for error by making it hard 
to "guess."  Mind you, if you are uncertain of an answer, you ARE guessing.
 
Part of the testing is your understanding of the question, and how to reason
through to the answer.  Don't worry if you do not understand the answer at
first, as some question, owing to degree of difficulty, are intentionally
ambiguous at first glance.  The authors want you to be CERTAIN of your 
answer.  The margin of error involved in guessing only exists for the 
multiple choice (whose number of choices varies with the intent).  It is
virtually non-existent, however, for all fill-in-the-blank answers, of which
there are many here.  Over-all, a very accurate test (if somewhat imperfect
at the margins).  (But, mind you, few tests are foul-proof, and we are not
so 
arrogant as to exempt ourselves from this hard and fast rule of exceptions.
 
Exceptions, after all, not only confirm the rule, but more particularly are
just a different rule altogether, overlapping at points.)
  Do not ask for the answers, as we are not in the business of allowing for
the possibility of cheating.  If you want the answers, you may request them
at a cost of 20 dollars, in check or money order form made out to the person
on the envelope.  But we will keep record of those who receive these answers,
and you will be disqualified from any future consideration for any follow-
ups, or any re-takes.  Do not share these answers with anyone, lest the 
testing be compromised and you disqualified from our consideration of the
results.  This test is open for the next four months, after which, I should
have the academic results and grade for my project.
  Now that the "unpleasantries" (if you will) are out of the way, please
know 
that I want you to succeed.  You may be very intelligent and not know it.
 We 
invite--no, we encourage--all who are the least bit curious, and, perhaps,
a 
bit courageous, to take the plunge and test your wits.  Who knows what you'll
find.  Good luck (or rather, may your good score not just be a matter of
luck).
