    Well, I sometimes think to myself that Intelligence is your ability to use knowledge. Not how much you know.

    Some of these intelligence tests are designed to measure your knowledge, not your ability to use it. And they only test certain areas. There are many more areas to test than what's tested. They test you on what they want you to know not on all that you know.

    (I apologize if you consider this post unintelligent and inappropriate for this topic.)

    Tests that are done face-to-face seem to work better than a written test, but honesty, I love standardized tests because of the sheer amount of multiple choice.
