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...

just
have fun!
