This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"friend"... I hate to be the one to have to tell you this Anon, but thats just a spam mailer you got signed up to when you registered on that sketchy porn site. They send that to everyone on their distribution list. Didn't you think something was off when they asked for your social security and credit card numbers to take a "free IQ test"?

Given the results, Anon just possibly might not have noticed anything was off...

If a credit card is involved to get the result, the test is boolean:

If you get the results, you've failed.

(At least for online tests. A proper IQ test may cost something if it's not done for psychiatric/psychological reasons.)

Are there any interesting IQ tests to take online? I don't care about reliability, since the origin is pretty BS and it's copycats are even worse. But I like these small tasks and feeling myself like a Hermaeus Mora when I get a little over the average (:

Check the Cambridge one, it's quite difficult and most people I know that took the test consistently got 10-20 points lower than their IQ.

Dark Souls equivalent of dying to the boss with a sliver of health left then dying way sooner in the second attempt.
