http://iqtest.com/prep.html?test=final (they send results by email at the end)

Take this and then post your results along with your favourite book / types of books you like.
Please be honest and accepting of yourself.

I got 128. My favourite book is Siddhartha, but most of the time all I really want to read is sci-fi. If I made an honest top 10 it would be mostly sci-fi.

>Disclaimer
IQ only measures some types of intelligence and also this is just a shitty online test. Basically don't take this too seriously and don't be downhearted if it tells you you're a brainlet.

Around about what range I usually score for these things. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't just another pattern recognition test.

134, b-but I'm not a native english speaker, so I think it's fair to add at least 40 or 50 points to taht result, right?

I don't really have a favorite book. My life is filled with failure, so there isn't a thing such as "a book that really made me the person that I'm right now" or "such a masterful piece of literature that really blew my mind". I'm still unimpressed.
