CBC Test the Nation

This is a neat IQ test from the CBC show "Test the Nation" that aired on March 18th. It tested people from all over Canada to see who had the highest IQ. The test is available on the website for you to do at home.

"What was Test the Nation: IQ?
Test the Nation was Canada’s first real-time interactive national IQ test. It was a live two-hour show, with seven teams of Canadians competing in our Toronto studio while viewers played at home to find out their IQ. The show revealed information about others who are playing at home and in the studio: Did blondes do better than brunettes? Who has the quickest wits – right-handers or left-handers? Which province thinks it’s the smartest and which province is the smartest?"

"The average IQ is 90-110. After all 60 questions, the Surgeons team proved to be super sharp with an average IQ of 119, followed closely by the Millionaires team with 118. The Fitness Instructors proved that braun equals brain with their third place score of 112. The Mayors team was right in the middle of the board with 110, with just two IQ points separating their team from the Radio DJs’ 108.
