Just tried out a real IQ test and thought of sharing it with you all. I know some of you might be working, so just try it out during your lunch time or even before you sleep at night.

Quoted:
This test is developed with the aim of measuring your Intelligence Quotient (IQ). The test is Culture Fair, i.e. it minimizes the effect of cultural variables, such as language, mathematics, etc. The test is based on logic, but is furthermore designed to test learning capability, memory, innovative thinking and the ability to simultaneously address several problems.

Please prepare yourself with 40 minutes spare time because you are required to finish 39 questions in 40 minutes. The level of difficulty of the questions increases gradually, which means you feel like a genius when you are answering the first few questions then for the last few questions you will think you are actually not. :D
