My IQ test score is 136, but I should probably receive at least a 20 point penalty for taking 2 hours to complete it. Most serious IQ tests I've heard of come with a time limit and for this they say they reckon with 45-60 minutes.

Analogies: 81
General knowledge: 77
Arithmetic: 88
Logical Reasoning: 100
Pattern Recognition: 100
Classification: 83

Spoiler warning for those who have yet to take the test !

What probably prevented me most from doing better is the fact that I am an ultimate failure at letter rearrangement exercises, so could a kind soul please provide me with the answers to the following - so that I don't have to go insane:

2. If you rearrange the letters UGNAIA, you would have the name of a

River - Planet - City - Animal - Plant ?

39. If you rearrange the letters LIGARAE, you would have the name of a

River - Country - City - Animal - Plant ?

And please, tell me that the answers are some obscure English words I have never heard in my life !

Fortunately, the third exercise of that type was really "German-friendly" - if it hadn't been for that I would have come out as just as dumb as Miss DragonMage ! *gasp*

And then there was No. 51: Which one of the following five is least like the other four?

Horse - Zebra - Deer - Moose - Eland

I naturally picked the horse - as all others are wild animals while the horse is a domestic animal. But later I was able to find out that the right answer was supposed to be the deer ! Does anyone know why that is ?

So long !

Btw, the cow is queuing in the slaughterhouse right now !
