Default American IQ Test

NO CHEATING

The average person only gets 7 right.

This is based on U.S. info, so use all lobes of your
brain. This can be more difficult than it looks - it just shows how
little most of us really see!

There are 25 questions about things we see every day or
have
known about all our lives. How many can you get right?
These little simple questions are harder than you
think-- it just
shows you how little we pay attention to the commonplace
things of life.

Put your thinking caps on. No cheating! No looking
around! No
getting out of your chair! No using anything on or in
your desk or
computer!

Can you beat 20?? It is nearly impossible for any normal
person to get higher than a 20 (The average is 7). Write down your
answers and check answers (on the bottom) AFTER completing all the
questions.

REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!! BE HONEST!!! That means no
looking at your phone or anything on your desk...


LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE. - If not,
just
have fun!

Here we go!



1. On a standard traffic light, is the green on the top
or bottom?


2. How many states are there in the USA? (Don't laugh,
some
people don't know)


3. In which hand is the Statue of Liberty's torch?


4. What six colors are on the classic Campbell's soup
label?


5. What two numbers on the telephone dial don't have
letters by
them?


6. When you walk does your left arm swing with your
right or left
leg? (Don't you dare get up to see!)


7. How many matches are in a standard pack?


8. On the United States flag is the top stripe red or
white?


9. What is the lowest number on the FM dial?


10. Which way does water go down the drain, counter or
clockwise?


11. Which way does a "no smoking" sign's slash run?


12. How many channels on a VHF TV dial?


13. On which side of a women's blouse are the buttons?


14. Which way do fans rotate?


15. How many sides does a stop sign have?


16. Do books have even-numbered pages on the right or
left
side?


17. How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel?


18. How many sides are there on a standard pencil?


19. Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc. Who's
missing?


20. How many hot dog buns are in a standard package?


21. On which playing card is the card maker's trademark?

adjusts
