The egg example was and example of a situational question. Shame someone could not figure that out, and the IQ tests for younger people do use practical situations to test responses. I really could care less if you believe what my test scores have been... as I have stated numerous times they are fake to begin with, so I do not feel they are an accurate representation of my intelligence. It is very telling how much so many of you are focusing on that one thing. |

I haven't voted, or posted, except, I'm posting now. Fortunately there are no IQ tests for installing carpet, Surprise!! Any way I just wanted to ask what the answer is, to the three letters that change the word.
