Speaking of IQ tests, has anyone tried one of the 'test yourself' tests
which can be found in 'know yourself' books ?  I remember trying one 
when I was fifteen.  I answered all of the questions fairly and only used
the amount of time that was specified for each test section.  When I added
up my score, it read awefully high.  I wonder if the authors intentionally
made the test easier or the scoring higher just to satisfy the reader.  It
seems that a book which stroked the reader's ego would sell better. Anyone
else have any more insight ?
