Apparently, I'm smart
Your IQ Is 130
Your Logical Intelligence is Exceptional Your Verbal Intelligence is Genius Your Mathematical Intelligence is Genius Your General Knowledge is Exceptional
Your score on the ‘Logical Intelligence’ is only ‘exceptional.’ I’m willing to bet that you got this question wrong:
3. "If Jody doesn't pay her ticket, she will go to jail." Which other statement must be true?
A) If Jody doesn't go to jail, she paid her ticket.
B) If Jody pays her ticket, she won't go to jail.
C) If Jody goes to jail, she didn't pay her ticket.
According to the test the ‘right’ answer is A, but this is an invalid deduction (the problem is that it confirms the consequent. Here’s another example (from online):
If it rains, the picnic will be cancelled. The picnic was cancelled. Therefore it rained.
Hi Cyrano, would you mind if I place a link to your blog from my prefab steel building site? I want my visitors to be able to read your Apparently, I'm smart and others like it. Alot of my readers enjoy topics regarding prefab steel building and the like...but I also think they would enjoy reading your content too. I don't have a blog yet but plan on working on it after the holiday. Thanks, from Katbo!

I guess a ‘genius’ didn’t write the test.
