    If I have taken a test (and I am pretty sure that I have not) I don’t know the results.

    I don’t think I have done one since my 11+ exam many years ago.

    Personally, I don’t think they are all that useful, as I think the only thing they measure is your ability to do IQ tests. There are many other measures of intelligence that are just as meaningful.

    I also have not taken a test and agree with Julian that they are not that useful. My Dad is forever asking me to take one because he is impressed with his high score and fancies his chances of beating me. I think this is the main reason why I have never taken one!

    I think I might have taken one when I was at secondary school. I can’t remember the score but it wasn’t especially high (or low). I agree with everyone else, in my view those tests aren’t useful.
