I set up a sheet similar to yours. Helps me keep track of the data better.

I got 39 correct on this way back in 1998:

I required a computer for the icosahedron problem (too many graph cycles to examine). That is cheating, so I only got 38 correct per the rules. Still put me in the dubious Prometheus Society category, but I did not pursue it.
Those were the days.
When I ran a company I started back in those days the test below was given to applicants for software development positions:

If you consider yourself a software engineer, you may find it interesting.
And, if you were interviewing with me, the following was used as an instrument of behavioral interviewing methods:

Most large companies use something like the above for serious interviewing techniques as opposed to Google's nonsense (I was once interviewed for a job at Google that I did not accept upon an offer). For example, a woman just got home from grocery shopping and as she passes through the living room she sees her dead husband by the fireplace on her way to the kitchen, wherein she proceeds to unpack her groceries. Explain this.

This one would be difficult in that only those who have never taken the test, or only those who have, are supposed to talk about it. Is that still a rule? IOW, would there be a breach in ethic to do more than post it here?I got 39 correct on this way back in 1998:

Wouldn't this more clearly represent an aptitude/familiarity test, than an IQ test?

I doubt it matters much nowadays as the test has been dissected many places in public. Today it is but a "pay the $30 and get the certificate" with little attention paid to exactly how you came by the answers. There are high IQ groups that will take the test as evidence if and only if it can be shown one successfully passed it prior to sometime in 1999 (I think that is the date, but am not certain).

That would work. When I answered it, the woman passed her husband contained in an urn located atop the fireplace on a shelf where she had placed it following his recent cremation. He had promised her that he would always be near her, and in devotion to him, the wife made sure he kept that promise even in death.
