Testing My IQ!

I bumped into a site that has an IQ test as I searched for possible questions that I could use for my online examination project. I was of course tempted to take the short quiz, human as I am. Though I was a bit busy with my tasks, I decided to give in to my mind’s desire for the moment. Anyway, I don’t think I will be able to focus on my work if I have this overpowering curiosity inside and if I keep hearing the voices saying “give it a try, common, just give it a try” (lol). There were only ten questions though, each of which was tricky, and the good thing was the answers were provided. Knowing that I could somehow “cheat”, I had to fight the urge to peep and have a glimpse of the answer otherwise, I know, I will not be able to enjoy the challenge and I will be a cheater. Well, it was not my first time to take such challenge but I enjoyed it anyway.

So for you, I know you are already curious too (^_^) here’s the test.

A little intelligence test for you - no cheating. Some of these questions are from an MBA entrance test. There are 10 questions. Do not look at the answers found at the end of this document, that would be cheating. Write each of your answers down, it makes a difference. Good Luck!

1. Some months have 30 days, some months have 31 days. How many months have 28 days?
2. If a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the pills had been taken?
3. I went to bed at eight 8 ‘clock in the evening and wound up my clock and set the alarm to sound at nine 9 ‘clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being awoken by the alarm?
4. Divide 30 by half and add ten. What do you get?
5. A farmer had 17 sheep. All but 9 died. How many live sheep were left?
6. If you had only one match and entered a COLD and DARK room, where there was an oil heater, an oil lamp and a candle, which would you light first?
7. A man builds a house with four sides of rectangular construction, each side having a southern exposure. A big bear comes along. What color is the bear?
8. Take 2 apples from 3 apples. What do you have?
9. How many animals of each species did Moses take with him in the Ark?
10. If you drove a bus with 43 people on board from Chicago and stopped at Pittsburgh to pick up 7 more people and drop off 5 passengers and at Cleveland to drop off 8 passengers and pick up 4 more and eventually arrive at Philadelphia 20 hours later, What’s the name of the driver?

So why don’t you grab your pen and paper and write down your answers. I will be posting the answers on the comment to avoid cheating!

I got 8/10!
