    The IQ test (it's fun, actually!)

    Social is your strongest intelligence, which probably isn't much of a surprise, since you seem to have sought out these kinds of questions on the test. Scores on this test are calibrated across OkCupid's 2.5 million users to roughly correlate with the standard Mensa and Stanford-Binet tests. Any score above 110 indicates better than average ability.

    Looking at the graph below, you can see that you particularly excelled at social and spatial problems. Specialization is well rewarded in today's world.

    Your Comparative Intelligences
    :

    verbal: 92
    math: 93
    spatial: 107
    social: 120

    Your highest IQ is Social.

    High math scorers excel in quantative reasoning, logic, and analysis. You did well here because you are able to quickly calculate sums and understand the relation of the part to the hole.

    Math is also the rarest of the strengths. While most people assume math skills are inborn, and this area of intelligence causes the most frustration in the general population, it is possible to hone this part of your brain. Your skills are already strong, but even doing simple things like calculating the restaurant tip in your head and memorizing phone numbers instead of typing them into your cell will develop your natural ability further. If you're in college and not already studying something technical, you should seriously consider it. People with high aptitude in this area usually get the best jobs and make the most money.
    High verbal scorers are good with words, have large vocabularies, and are superlative writers and speakers. Since language is the primary way human beings communicate, high verbal scorers tend to be popular and, all things considered, are the best-liked of our four measurement groups (seriously, we know this by anonymously correlating IM volume on OkCupid).

    A high verbal score also indicates well-developed critical thinking skills and the ability to see through bullshit—a high scorer can more quickly get the gist of an argument or line of reasoning. We were surprised to see that many high verbal scorers on our site are successful in business because writers we know don't make much money. We now think this is because well developed bullshit-detection, when combined with verbal high scorers' natural powers of persuasion, makes an exceptional negotiator. In fact, OkCupid's CEO holds most of the in-office records on the verbal questions of this test.

    Of course writers, journalists, editors, and other more artistic types score highly in Verbal skill as well, making this the most diverse of our four measurement groups.
    High spatial scorers understand physical space, recognize color, and interpret visual images quickly and accurately. It should go without saying that these people are the most artistic of our four measurement groups. They're also the most confident and self-sufficient. Also, according to the picture-rating data we've accumulated on OkCupid, high spatial scorers tend to be significantly more attractive than average. We've asked a couple scientists friends of ours why this is, and they have no idea (they're geologists), but the correlation is quite strong. Our current theory is: this group is the best-dressed of our test takers by a wide margin, and that's affected the ratings. Just so you know, we have actually checked all the above claims anonymously against our user data.

    In college and the job market, visual art, like painting or illustration, is the obvious choice for high spatial scores. Graphic design, web design, and advertising are other possible, and perhaps more stable, careers. An interesting trend we've observed in our data: high spatial scorers who have found an outlet for their natural creativity, even if it's not their full-time pursuit, have a very high overall 'life-satisfaction' rating, while high spatial scorers without that outlet—like those who have become lawyers or accountants—have the lowest rating among our entire user base.
    Those with high social intelligence excel, in short, at reading people. They are able to sense the motivations, the attitudes, and in some cases the inner thoughts of those around them. On the IQ Adventure test, we tested for body-language and lie-detection, as these are the most important specific skills. We've found, after correlating scores here with the known patterns of our user-base, those who score high on social intelligence form the most and longest-lasting interpersonal relationships. Verbal high scorers have a slightly better response rate on messages sent, but social high scorers have by far the better success rate with real-word dates.

    Social intelligence is the most practical of all the subjects we measure. Your interpersonal skills are tested hundreds of times a day, and far more can depend on even the most routine conversation that on, say, a word problem or logic puzzle. Interestingly, the savant phenomenon is almost unknown in this intelligence dimension. It appears that up-bringing and practice are the only ways to develop exceptional social ability. It cannot be inborn. This group's power of empathy andIn short, ability to sense (and sometimes manipulate) other people's desires provides a broad foundation for professional and social success. In short, having this type of intelligence enhances all of your other abilities.

    Spatial
    is your second strongest area

    The IQ test (it's fun, actually!)

    verbal: 90
    math: 150
    spatial: 107
    social: 108

    I don't like this result, I'm not a maths guru at all. Spatial is what I think I'm best at.

    I did this some time back.
    All I remember was I was around 130-140 in maths.
    Maths being best, then Social.

    I'll do it again when I get home today.

    Not an entirely accurate test since it has to factor in typing speed, some questions never change when redone, and other things.

    Overall, I think it still gives pretty reasonable evaluations and it was quite fun, nice find. ^_^

    http://www.okcupid.com/iq-adventure-test?score=-1639148720
    Verbal: 118
    Maths: 110
    Spatial: 97
    Social: 155

    I think I could have done better with Spatial but I avoided it's tests, oh well.

    Overall I think the test was kinda accurate, my Maths, Verbal and Social are a bit over average and I can usually figure out and read people from a few moments chat, especially face to face.
