    I had no patience, I just sat there and did it in 3. Why da hell do they give you like 40 minutes for?! But again, I am not releasing my scores to the public.

    I think the equation for the score is based on how much time you take to do the test too. Like...take 36 minutes and get them all right and still get like 110 or so.

    to tell you the truth, i don't know how these things work... what's low and what's high? and what's this standard deviation business? which one of my scores am i supposed to reveal, eh?

    The last ones frustrated the hell outta me. I had no idea how I was supposed to be looking at them.

    103
    std.dev = 15

    103
    std.dev = 16

    104
    std.dev = 24

    The last one was easy, the 4th (i think) to last one had me thinking for a while.

    According to my wife (who does testing analysis for a living) these tests are meaningless...

    136 Standard deviation 16
    137 Standard deviation 15
    144 Standard deviation 24

    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.

    130 Std. dev = 15
    132 Std. dev = 16
    148 Std. dev = 24

    I agree with Kevster, these aren't necessarily an accurate measure. I did well probably because I buy those little books of logic puzzles and I'm used to these kinds of problems. Yeah, I'm a geek...
