just did it, said i scored better then 85% of the people who took it,which is about what i thought i would get.  i did very very well on the tournament questions scoring better then 99.8% but very bad on the big pairs questions scoring only better then 6%?  i was about where i thought i would be in all areas except this big pairs area.  i was distracted when taking this test but very interesting and pretty accurate although some of the situations i was put in were tough, tougher then i would be putting myself into.  would like to hear how some of you other guys do on this.

i would put some stock in the results, however i wouldnt put a ton of it, because there are some situations where i feel the player in question put themselves in a tough spot that i wouldnt have.

Just got 90%. I didn't buy the breakown as of yet so I dont know where I went wrong. Also I am at work so it didn't really get my full attention so I am thinking I could get another 2-5% more had I been able to fully give all the question my full attention.
 
 
Thanks Clown that was fun..

you dont have to buy it, it gives you a breakdown free.  if you want something really indepth its like 10 bucks.  id love to know how i got 6% though on the big pairs section.

profit, i screwed up that thing is a sample i have the exact same scores.  they email you your IQ for free only, i got 116, which is actually a little better then what i thought.  i guess you have to pay the 10 bucks to see what you got in each category, which i just might do, im curious now. 
 
i printed out that sample and have the exact numbers you have.  did you give them your email??

weird tho the sample was strong in areas i would be good at and weak in the others now that 6% on the big pairs makes 100% sense.

I got 106, but I consider myself a pretty average player so I guess I can't be too pissed.  I did rush a bit since I'm at work.  I also tend to over think this stuff which doesn't help.  And I spend too much time watching poker on TV and not enough time at the table.

johnny its a timed test, it will matter.  also make sure you are looking at your score not the sample score because that is 115.

I have a friend who plays on FT all the time.  He's cashed in 3 straight 1,000 plus tournaments including 1 final table (finished 6th).  He got a 98. 

He did say he did it in a rush at work.  I'm not so sure how a test like this can test your ability to detect bluffs.....all you're doing is answering a question based on limited information.

it doesnt really have anything to detect bluffs, do you mean he cashed in tournaments with 1000 people or tournaments that were 1000 buy in?
 
also the hero in the donkey test puts himself in no mans land on a lot of these hands, but they do say that before the test.  what makes the test harder is that i dont think i would be in such tough spots on the majority of these hands, they would have been over one way or another before the point that the hand got to.
