The Tickle IQ test was an add I found on the New York
Times article I was reading.  You take an IQ test and
get a score and a description of your type of
intellect based on the questions you got right.  Some
are math, some verbal, some spatial, some patterns,
etc...

They want you to purchase a 15 page detailed report
afterwards, but I haven't and I still got my score. 
The problem is that they want to bill you monthly for
future tests.  The tests are actually created by PHDs
for company evaluations etc...

I was feeling good this morning, so I took the test. 
It was fun... We had a few laughs, I really don't want
to commit...you know...:0)
