How smart are you?
We all know that pharmacists are intelligent. Pharmacy school isn't easy. But, how smart are we? Do you know your actual IQ? Have you ever been tested? Do we have any MENSA Pharmacists out there?
I got tested in 1st grade. My IQ was registered at 126. I vaguely remember the experience. I remember going to a lady's house and spending the entire day with just her -- taking a series of tests but they seemed like games to me at the time. The only real test I remember was being shown a picture of a man walking down the street in the rain and being asked to identify everything wrong with the picture. So -- he was holding his umbrella rather than covering himself. The stop sign was shaped like a triangle. The sun and the moon were both showing in full. Stuff like that. Of course, that's a test performed over 25 years ago on a child. Is that still applicable now? Who knows....[Note: I know the results of the test because it's in my High School scrapbook -- not because I'm a weirdo.]

I found an IQ test online that I believed to be rather reputable. It takes 40 minutes to complete and it is simple at first. However, it quickly escalates in difficulty...to the point where the last 3-4 questions I had absolutely no clue as to what the answer was. I still felt pretty good about the test. My result was 130. I, of course, didn't take a screenshot of the result because I'm a retard. The test was rather frustrating, so I don't want to do it again. I may though -- to see if I can better my score. I'm sure that the questions are different each time. If they are not, I wouldn't respect the results. If I take it again -- I'll post a screenshot.
Anyway, take the test. Let me know what your results are! Lets see how smart pharmacists, technicians, et. al are! Post your job as well.
It is mostly a test of spatial relationships, shapes, and such. I've heard that these types of IQ tests are biased -- favoring men for whatever reason. We shall see...

If you have a ridiculously high score that no one would believe (idiot savant type stuff), email me a screenshot. I'll host it and post it for you.
