According to the eMode IQ Test, my IQ is 127 and I am a Visual Mathematician, which means “…you are gifted at spotting patterns. This and your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture”.
I have to agree that this is quite correct, at least compared to the way I see myself. Especially the pattern thing. I remember most things in patterns, for instance, phone numbers. I generally don’t remember a particular number as 343-3785, instead I memorize the pattern of pressing the buttons in on the phone. If I need to remember the phone number I can visualize myself dialing it on the phone. Also, most of my passwords and pin numbers are various patterns on the keyboard or number pad, instead of an actual word or significant date.
I also have a very visual memory I think. If I don’t memorize numbers as a pattern, I will memorize what they looked like when written down. Like if someone tells me their number over the phone and I write it on a piece of paper, when I remember that number, I will visualize that exact piece of paper that had the number on it. Including the colors, handwriting, etc. in most cases.
I also recognize faces quite well, and can even remember the faces of some customers I briefly assisted when I worked at Office Depot 4 or 5 years ago. Names I don’t remember very well though. Many times when I am introduced to someone new, I completely tune out their name when the introductions are made. You could ask me someone’s name 10 minutes after I meet them and I probably wouldn’t remember. But if I’m in a meeting with those people for a couple of hours, I will eventually pick up all of their names and associate it with their face, and where they were sitting at the table.
Take the test yourself and see what your IQ and intelligence type is!

Posted by: anna at August 9, 2003 04:53 AMmy I.Q score is 115
Posted by: martin at August 10, 2003 12:51 AMI just scored 131
Posted by: sunny at August 10, 2003 03:06 AMI scored a 133. Fun test!
Posted by: Joyce at August 11, 2003 06:02 PMI got a 133, it was an insightful, fun test!!
Posted by: Monique at August 12, 2003 01:29 PMI scored 117- is that good? I am also a v.m.
Posted by: Malissa at August 14, 2003 12:55 PMI scored a 135 and am also a “Visual Mathematician”. Very interesting and fun test!
Derek..you were describing me in your post! I have a visual memory like you. When taking tests in high school and college, I could always find the answer by “seeing” the page in my head that the answer was.
Posted by: Rachael at August 16, 2003 10:59 AM…same with me 129 and a VM .. same thing i am starting to doubt the EMODE test because everybody gets 120-130 which is suppose to be a close to GENIUS score..over 130 is a genius…
Posted by: Greg at August 19, 2003 10:45 AMI took the emode test and scored 131. I too remember things by visualizing, i.e. reading or writing down. I think this is why I always had a hard time explaning things but could show people by writing it out or drawing a picture.
Posted by: Christine at September 2, 2003 02:08 PMI scored 142, visual mathematician too..
Posted by: rahul at September 3, 2003 05:00 PMI scored 131. Does it really mean anything?
Posted by: Yuri at September 13, 2003 11:09 PMApparently not, unless everyone that visits my blog just happens to be a genius and score within 10 points on the IQ scale of each other…
Posted by: Derek at September 14, 2003 12:28 AMi got a 133 too. so did everyone else more or less…
shenanigans!
Posted by: travis at September 16, 2003 03:18 AMi got 127 and I am 17, so I think its an easy test, also, I dont speak english very well
I got 131 , which means VM.
Even I do all those things, like memorizing the pattern and I never forget the face.
In exams I can go back visually to the page, but I tend to ignore that let logical thinking prevail.
Well, I have to admit I was feeling pretty smart with my score of 129 until I googled ‘visual mathmetician’ and found your site. Atleast I didn’t have time to brag about my soaring intelligence. Just like a horoscope, their results are tailored to cleverly fit into peoples perceptions of themselves. I wonder what would happen if you purposefully missed every question? Emode is a fraudulent for-profit company. We should all pay for their ‘full-report’ and start a class action law suit.
Posted by: ChrisZ at September 28, 2003 12:36 PMVisual Mathematician has more relevance to the particular questions missed than the IQ number. I have to admit though, I easily associated with the story at the top. Wow! I also tend to associate new faces of people I meet with faces of people I’ve known that had the same name. That way, I see their face, and it strikes a memory of someone they’ve never met, but I still get the name right. I think this test was too short to get a good feel for our intelligence. Since everyone else put theirs, I got a 133.
Posted by: DanielN at October 5, 2003 08:26 PMHas anybody figured out what the ideal job for the visual Mathematician is - got a 131, Kinda feel like it’s a scam, still like to know though.
Posted by: PaulR at October 9, 2003 03:19 PMI got a 127… how un-original… Visual Mathematician my arse! I say SCAM!!!
Posted by: Jacks at October 11, 2003 03:50 AMVery interesting, I scored a 135, and am also a Visual Mathematician according to emode. I also relate very well to your story. It makes me want to buy the full report now.
Posted by: Shawn at October 19, 2003 03:18 PMI took emode’s test a while back and got a 124. When I took it a second time and tried to miss every answer, I got a 74. What a scam!
Posted by: Steve at October 20, 2003 12:58 AMI am a Visual Mathematician. Really. That’s my job. I make 30 bucks an hour to mathematize visually. No wonder my melon hurts. These are my thoughts.
Posted by: Bubba at October 21, 2003 01:41 PMI’m another 1xx Visual Mathematician.
I too remember patterns uncannily well.
I’m good at phone numbers. It sometimes freaks out friends and family. e.g. I still remember my childhood phone number; I lived there 1-6 years of age. I’m 32 now.
Bad at names. Good at faces.
I’m good at languages as well. Generally if I write on a piece of paper, [english word] [foreign word] [english word] [foreign word], etc. I will ace a foreign language vocab test in one pass; recalling the images of the text.
Posted by: Erich at October 25, 2003 02:09 AMscored 129 on the emode…so what’s a visual mathematician anyway? Anyone out there to pass me a line? Appreciate.
Posted by: Henry at October 25, 2003 11:25 AMThere are better tests than this one. The results are too high.
Posted by: Jeff at October 25, 2003 01:20 PMWell I just took the test and am also a 133 visual mathematician. It is possible that with the # of people taking the test and those of us curious about the high outcome we could all be in the range they specify. My results were not inconsistent with a regular IQ test administered to me about 3 years ago by a professional career consultant.
Posted by: Cary at October 27, 2003 09:29 AMCongratulations, Rudi!
Your IQ score is 135
We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician.
Who else thinks we should form a club?! We could be the visual mathematicians and come together on friday nights and see who can remember patterns the best?
(btw, it’s not that strange that all of the people on this log seem to be VM’s. I think most of us found this through doing the test and afterwards trying to look up what the hell a visual mathematician is.
Posted by: Rudi at October 27, 2003 07:47 PMI got 129 and same stry as all of you i only remember paterns and faces
i have to write down everything i need to remember !
but does any one know what a visual matematician is ????
apart for memorizing paterns
I just took this test, I scored 135.
Test seems to be very easy. I didn’t take it seriously. It says Iam a Visula Mathematician. Though I consider myself as superior in Math but I don’t think Iam a visual mathematician..
May be this test is targetting people with nominal education. In any case I don’t think the questions in this test help determine our IQ..
Scored 136 Voluptuous Matchmakertician after drinking 3 glasses of wine. What was I thinking? Had I been sober, I wouldn’t have wasted 20 minutes on the test but would have headed straight to ‘Unlimited Porno for $40.’
Posted by: freddyboy at October 31, 2003 10:50 PM4th glass of wine. Retook the test. 144 Visionary Philosopher. Keep drinking I say.
Posted by: freddyboy at October 31, 2003 11:27 PMAnother 133 Visual Mathematician here. I think we’re a dime a dozen. And, no, I didn’t buy the report. It was easier and cheaper to search for others’ reports online. Welcome to the club.
Posted by: ken at November 2, 2003 10:37 AM131 ha funny same as every one else. Im 18 now but when i was 12 i had a real IQ test done by dr’s and i got a 135, so maybe we all have the same score b/c we were all looking for wtf a visual mathematician is online
Posted by: chris at November 3, 2003 03:50 PMHey Everyone I’m Jahmil.I am 14 years and a fellow female V.M. I got a 118. Is that good. anyone email me at Chocolatemisses21@hotmail.com anytime and let me know.
Posted by: Jahmil Eady at November 4, 2003 07:18 PMi just took the test and scored 122,(vm) its interesting to read that guy saying about reemembering phone numbers by pressing but not memorizing the actualy numbers. I do that alll the timeee.
btw if i am VM wut jobs am i natural in?
Posted by: jho at November 7, 2003 12:01 AMi’m 13 got 124/visual mathematician…what is it exactly?
Posted by: joey at November 8, 2003 11:15 PMthis is too funny and interresting. It shows how Search engines redirect people looking for the same BS info: “Visual Mathematician”
I guess this test satisfied our ego and we wanted to gratify ourlseves even more by looking for this eMode term….oh well…lol
Posted by: BeatDeBoule at November 9, 2003 01:00 AMI just took the emode test and got a 135, but it said I was an insightful linguist?? Maybe they’re realizing they were using the same visual mathematician thing so they thought they’d change it up a bit? Kinda funny!
Posted by: Danielle at November 9, 2003 05:19 PMI guess most of us are trying to figure out what is a Visual Mathematician. However, it is very true, I have a problem with faces too and I think in pictures, everything I read is converted to images immediately. I was also wondering, wow, are there that many VMs around??
Posted by: Linny at November 10, 2003 03:59 AMScored a 129. I am a Visual Mathematician. What a bummer knowing everyone else is too.
Posted by: Waldo at November 15, 2003 09:11 PMI scored 126, thought that was pretty good until I saw everyone here seems to have the same or better…another site informed me that scoring over 120 is like better then 93% of those who take the IQ test. scoring over 130 is better then 98%….so is it possible we are all in the top 2 to 7%??? I have taken an IQ in the past, as a kid and scored 122 or around that so maybe the test is sorta accurate…but couple people had a point, we typed in “visual mathmatician” and found each other! I also relate to remembering faces, phone numbers…etc..by the way I live in DC.
Posted by: Robb at November 16, 2003 04:34 PMyeah….i got onto this after searching for what exactly a VM is….although i have always considered myself to be intelligent and didnt find 136 a surprise nor the limited definition of a VM, but it sounds to me like it is a scam…..
did anyone get the full report?
Posted by: m.young at November 16, 2003 09:54 PMScored a 135.
I think Rudi’s idea of forming a club and coming together on Fri. nights… is hilarious!
Like everyone else, I did a search trying to find out what a visual mathematician is or does.
Maybe I should change my career path?
I took the test twice- 131 and 129 respectively. It truly is funny that all of us of a common mind thought to take a half hour to not only TAKE the test, but to then search out what the resultant intelligence label meant, then write our collective responses about our experiences taking the test to everyone else who is in EXACTLY the same position we are.
Kinda neat. Somebody out there should use this phenomenon of all these undercover geniuses trying to verify the intelligence they always knew they had for a thesis or something.
What a waste of time….that too with several VMs already here! And to think I was one of a kind….and was almost about to buy their report!! Screams “scam” all over now!
I took the IQ test and I, too, am a visual mathematician. I made a 136, and I’m only 14, so I guess that’s pretty good. It seemed kind of like a waste of time, though; it was incredibly easy.
Posted by: Bo at November 19, 2003 05:11 PMWell people lets make it happend, name the place and time we all need to chat. There’s so many of us and we all have no idea what to do with this gift. I say we meet and start something to find out what we could be doing with it. Please don’t be shy, Took me 5 beers just to write this. Oh by the way 134
Captnhwdy777@cox.net
We, the 2-7%, are all the same. there is no denying it. took the test, searched for defn of VM posted a comment. the pattern is there for us to visualise. calculate the probality of one of us missing the pattern.
Posted by: ted at November 21, 2003 07:26 AMI also scored 129 and have been declared a VM.
Let’s assume the test is legitmate and we are all around the genious level… How come none of us knows what the heck a visual mathematician is?
Posted by: Rob L at November 21, 2003 03:15 PMWell I scored a 133 and was labeled a Precision Processor. I am suspect about the high score though because I took some kind of online Mensa quiz and didn’t make the cut. The score does appeal to ego though… ;-)
Posted by: RK at November 24, 2003 06:46 AMthis sight is hilarious - I scored a 129 myself and am supposedly a visual mathematician too. Maybe we are all being fooled, nevertheless I think we visual mathematicians need to get out more.
Posted by: anna at November 26, 2003 01:32 AM136 - Visual Mathematician … maybe we’re all in the 120-130 range because people scoring under 100 are too smart to believe everything they read on a website????
In “reputable” tests over the past 20 years, I’ve usually scored 134-135. Since this board is only attracting VM’s, we’re not a representative sample of society and thus not able to determine “shenanigans” on eMode’s behalf … so maybe we’re just all so darned smart!
And for freddyboy and his alcohol-induced experiment … I don’t think my intelligence increases with the number of drinks, but my likelihood of sharing said intelligence with everyone else in the bar certainly goes up!
Cheers!
Posted by: Russ at November 26, 2003 09:59 AMi took 4 different tests. on the iq one i got 109, then 129, and now 131. on the mastermind test i got in the 99th percentile. inconsistent? i should say so. i think it is a scam. i wonder how emode compares to the standard iq tests like mensa. i should check it out.
Posted by: that guy at November 28, 2003 08:17 PMAnother Visual Mathematician here, tipping the scales with a score of 133. And yes, I found this page by doing a search about what I am…lol Oh how disheartening to find that I’m just like everybody else. Oh woe is me… and I was feeling so smart too. *snicker*
Posted by: jake at November 29, 2003 11:55 PMI took the test and recieved a 135 as a VM. The test was not very extensive as others are so scores should not range much. I took a proffesional test 10 years ago and recieved a 146 making me elegible for some special elementary school which I did not go to. IQ’s do not change much if any bit over time but aside from that, I am just wondering what is the importance of a visual mathematician later on. I cannot think of a job or field that it works best with. There probably are though.
Posted by: Peter at November 30, 2003 09:04 PMwhat is it with all these visual mathmaticians? i am one of the only visionary philosophers and i think the only imaginative mastermind.have any of you taken the mastermind test and if so what where youre iq scores?
Posted by: that guy at December 1, 2003 05:21 AMI was hoping google & visual mathmetician might lead me to a job that utilized those skills. After reading these posts I’m visualizing Emode as a crock.
Posted by: Another VM at December 2, 2003 11:06 AMScanning blogs, it looks like Emode assigns people to at least the following Intellectual Types: Visionary Philosopher, Visual Mathematician, Inspired Inventor, Precision Processor, or Facts Curator. Scores reported go as low as 90, excluding a couple who could intentionally score only as low as 74. 144 seems to be the highest score. There’s so much self selection in who takes this and who shares their results that one can not infer much from the biased sample of web responses. I got 140 on this and 150 on a professionally administered one. My entry here sounds more like that of a “Facts Curator” than the way cool knucklehead I am off-line.
Posted by: Tom at December 2, 2003 12:41 PMOkaydokay. I want to help by answering a couple concerns about how Visual Mathematicians can or should steer their careers and market themselves. I wasn’t going to bother because only one had asked before my last visit here. If you have well above average VM abilities, this very well can mean that you would make a good
* Physicist
* Mechanical Engineer
* Theoretician
* Math teacher (because you would understand the application of the formulas better than most math teachers)
* Programmer for all of the above
* Medical Diagnostician (because you can both visualize the causes and intuitively conclude likelihood based on your ability to estimate probability and ‘force of cause’)
* Graphics Programmer and
* Janitor (jus’ kiddn’, I meant ‘Maintenance Engineer’ - no, I’m jus’ jus’ kiddn’ again)
I’m just guessing based on what I know (sounds like a pretty oxymoronic statement to me - sounds like something Yogi Bera would say).
Has anyone figured out exactly what a VM is? Is there any FREE info out there that will help me interpret my results? I really dont want to pay 15 bucks for a “personalized” report. thanks… 133
Posted by: Marc at December 3, 2003 09:16 PMha! so i aint a genius after all. somebody should sue emode. im so mad!!!How come everyone scores btn 120 & 130???##@@#$%%@^&*$(*(%)***(%^$
Posted by: Gee at December 4, 2003 04:58 AMyeh im a 127 or whatever the real genius is not giving them money
Posted by: Shaggie at December 10, 2003 09:37 PMsuposedly, haveing an iq of like 145 means you will get an SAT score of 1400. anyone here get that or higher but lower then a 145 on the SAT? i havnt even taken it yet.
Posted by: that guy at December 10, 2003 11:25 PMFellow VMs, a 136 here.
I found this page exactly as everyone else did: by doing the test in the first place; scoring highly; then wanting to find out what my 136 meant. Like the rest of you I queried Google rather than paying to buy the report — so we are all at least that smart.
Selection bias is probably a big factor in explaining the high scores on this site. We all chose to take the test — my wife would not, because even though she is a great creative thinker, she knows she would not score well on this type of test, which really only measures certain aspects of intelligence. And we all chose to search out ourselves a reasonable explanation of what we “achieved.” So the range of 120-136 above should not be dismissed outright.
The lowest score on this site so far seems to be a 118 and this came from someone overtly claiming to be female with an email address posted in the comment — that could be telling about the low end. Were some of those questions ridiculously easy, or is it true that we are all pretty smart.
I bet that the test is reasonably accurate. I scored in 98th percentile SAT and GMAT, and up there on similar tests going way back. There is definitely some profiteering going on by Emode, given the fact that the test was a pop-up screen and ultimately they want to sell you something. But that does not mean the test is dishonest. Emode is likely appealing precisely to people like us that are smart to make a few bucks stroking our egos.
If someone is willing to fork up the money for fun, please buy the report and share with the rest of the VMs. It would be great fodder for a next round of comments.
For what it is worth, I relate to the VM title and to the essence of comments above about traits of a VM. I am a professional economist, work with lots of numbers, have an excellent sense of direction. Like another poster, I have a knack for phone numbers.
Taking the test was definitely worthwhile if only for the trip around the net that it has set off.
Posted by: Marc at December 11, 2003 12:28 AMscored a 133 and a v.m.- I’m cynical at heart, so would take little persuading that this is a scam.
i scored 129 on another test i did - is the emode test a fair reflection?
i have very poor short-term memory for my age (32), but can remember all sorts of car number plates from years ago; also good at faces, but poor at names!
i scored a 126 on emodes classic iq test. visual Mathematician…
it seems like 120-140 is the average score on this mb. interesting…
Posted by: david at December 12, 2003 04:32 PMi got 120 and i’m good by patterns faces numbers and shapes but not good to explain myself in convesations, but good at drawing and making process for work and office
Posted by: ervin at December 16, 2003 12:13 AMHey fellow VM’s!
I have a score of 138 and i am pretty amazed how we all have stumbled upon this page in similar ways..
WOW…someone should take a note of this pattern and me thinks that the number of people in this page are sure enough a great sample set.
Nice meeting all the fellow VM’s.
Cheers!
I got a 120 on this and I a just like you guys (and gals guys is slang for everyone where I live) But I bet there is a difference I am good a patterns But I suck at Math itself. If I was good at it I bet I would be in the upper 130s range. Now I am very smart in fact my friends tell me I am the smartest guy they know, but it is not in Math that I a smart it is everything else, so that is why I bet my score would be higher, post if anyone else is like this.
And John2 bc there was a John already.
Posted by: John2 at December 16, 2003 11:31 PMI found out about this website looking for what is a visual mathemacian too.lol, I’m too a VM, I don’t believe this types of test can say we are geniuses or not. I feel happy to not been the only one to be a visual mathematician.
This types of test doesn’t tell who is intelligent or who isn’t, just tell who had developed some skills with distinguishing patterns.
A person with too much ego sucks.
postdata, we RULE THE WORLD!!!:D
I took the test and got a 131 and was labeled as a VM. What a surprise, huh? However, I immediately went over to testcafe.com and took their IQ test. Got a 131 there too and got a 100% in something like “ability to recognize patterns”. So at least there was some consistency. I’d be interested in the results other people here get from the testcafe.com test.
It is quite possible that the test is accurate and we are all borderline geniuses. I’m not too keen on forming a Visual Mathematician club but if several of you want to get together and try to take over the world, you’ve got my e-mail.
Oh by the way, another poster said they sucked at math. I’m no good either. Like most other people on here though I can remember old phone numbers and addresses very well. I also visualize things in my head, mostly things like directions and picturing pages in a textbook when recalling information for a test.
Posted by: Danny at December 18, 2003 02:06 PMThat was me Danny and like him I don’t want to be in a club but I am up for taking over the world.
Posted by: John2 at December 18, 2003 11:14 PMHey, my name is Michael. I did the Emode test and got 125. I too am a VM, and found this site because I was wondering what the heck a VM was. I am 13 and when I took the test I thought that it was awfully easy. My email address is rocks722@hotmail.com and my AOL Instant Messanger screenname is mgd722. I think that Emaode is a scam. Most of us are all getting the VM rating. Although I have never taken a real IQ test, I doubt it can be that easy.
Posted by: Michael at December 19, 2003 12:19 PMI only scored 127 and I’m 70 years old. In my high school and college days I was able to mentally solve complex algebra and geometry problems as the instructor was writing them on the blackboard. As soon as he had finished and turned around to face the class I had my hand up with the answer. Possibly this describes a visual mathematician … having the ability to create mental images of the problem, such as you did when figuring out the problem of the distance between two cars. You had to mentally see the locations of the cars in your mind and use trigonometry to arrive at the hypotenuse to come up with 20 miles as your answer. This calculation could easily be done in your mind because the figures provided were very easy to work with.
Posted by: Bob at December 24, 2003 03:23 PMI know that this is kinda off the subject, but merry Christmas!
Posted by: Michael at December 24, 2003 06:01 PMI stopped by at the internet cafe on my way home after an evening of drinking. I had two pints of beer and a bottle of wine. It’s 00:50 at night here, so I was almost falling asleep during the test. My result:
Visual Matematician - 140.
I.
Posted by: IMS at December 25, 2003 07:04 PMI must agree with Bob’s entry made just above. Intelligence is only one mark of success; one must also possess a sense of determination and interest in the work at hand. I just wanted to complement Bob’s posting and suggest to all the readers visiting this post to take such advice as a kind holiday wisdom gift. By the way, I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Bye!
Posted by: Gustavo at December 26, 2003 10:30 PMHey to the so called smart people that wrote half of the useless comments… the only reason you, you big genious you, ended up on a blog - where so many other VM’s are - is because you queired google because after you took the test you didn’t want to hackup 14.95 to find out some bull…
Posted by: monkeypox at December 29, 2003 04:52 AMHello, My name is chase. I just so happen to be an “insightful linguist” I was just wandering if anybody knew anything about the scale my 127 ballances on?
Posted by: Chase at December 30, 2003 12:58 AMI just got 136 Visual Mathematician today. unlike the others who seem to have this, field I don’t have an easy time visualizing anything but I easily recognize patterns both in numbers and in imaged both 3d and 2d. I never have test keys that I use regularly because I can just look at them and can recognize the cut immediately. while I am slow at doing basic mathematics I have a good understanding of how they work. I did have an easy time finding the answers in geometry I just could never explain how I arrived at the answers. (so the instructor often refused my homework and marked down my tests causing me to get a D in the class even though I almost always had the right answer. I guess he thought I was cheating or something) I recently saw 2 IQ tests done in school both placed me in the high average area and with poor short term visual memory. and the later one stated that i had a strength in math. all of the online IQ tests I have taken have placed me in the high average area close to genus usually within 1-5 points. if I remember the old version of emode used to show a graph showing what IQ you had and I believe 100 is average and 130 is genus (so I guess the test I took today shows I have studied)
Posted by: FrozenKnight at December 30, 2003 05:36 AMAll my friends and I got high 120’s and mid 130’s. I think it’s pretty close to the result I got from the previous test I took when I was in College, but I found a site which offers an IQ test with time limit. It’s more challenging and you will get less score.
All my friends who received 120’s ~ 130’s received range of between 95~109.

Posted by: Khaki_jean at December 30, 2003 07:58 PMI think the test was too easy so that we are deceived to buy their report. Dunno how reliable…
Posted by: Raj at December 31, 2003 01:19 AMI got a 126 !!!! am i great ?????
I googled too on VM and on this page.
I dunno what should i do now.
i dont know how i scored a 131. my memory sux and i hate numbers. im the only one here who got imagninative master mind and visionary philosopher. i majoring in physics and the only things i really understand is calclus (and physics obviously). i think i have a more sevantish intelligence. shit, its 4:03 in the morening and i dont feel like corecting the invitable spelling errors. just go back to listening to beethoven…
Posted by: that guy at January 4, 2004 07:04 AMI’m also a ‘Visual Mathematician’. I scored 122.. but then its 4am and i should have done it in the morning and i might have got an extra 5 or 10 maybe. Im very tired! I went to a psychiatrist recently and the first thing she asked me after unloading my entire depressing life story on her was… ‘what are you like with numbers & maths?’. At the time i thought, what a strange question.. have u seen a psychiatrist lately? I told her no, i was useless at maths at school. But now i understand why i was never good at mainstream maths at school and always came last. I know it should be the other way round and i should be good at maths but i think what people lack in some areas you make up for in another by excelling in it. I guess thats why i felt like i had attention deficit disorder every maths class because i didnt want to understand it, however i was really good in another area that we never really touched on. My maths reports cards were, ‘111 doesnt listen’ and ‘111 doesnt apply himself’.
Had i had known i was a freaking freak like that guy in ‘a beautiful mind’ movie with russell crowe i maybe could have had a better life so far. Thanks alot stupid school system!
By the way, the number 111 has been haunting me for years..
Whenever i look at a clock, watch, computer time, microwave oven time, i always seem to catch it at 1:11am or 11:11pm etc. When i go driving even, my digital clock in my car will read 1:11 when i happen to check the time and look at it. I know it sounds bizzare like the matrix or something but its real, im not imagining it. Am i?
Iam a VM too. Smart enough as you to have googled before opening the purse
Posted by: Sayad at January 6, 2004 08:43 AMI scored a 127 and I am a high school dropout.I have a G.E.D. but I have 0 hours of college.I think the test is pretty legitimate.Alot of the questions were very easy but you all have to remember that there are some people with low iqs.some of you are writing that 130 is geniuse iq but its actually 140 but some say its 145.I have known that since I was in 8th grade.The average score of all of us is around 120 which makes us all pretty bright the reason for that I believe is that usually bright people are the ones that are curiouse about there iq.Average people dont really care about there iq or about learning new things.Bright people are really not as rare as you all think.A geniuse is pretty rare but not really to rare.There is 1 geniuse for every 250 people.So in a city of 10,000 people there is 40 geniuses.Try getting someone that you all know is not to bright to take the test to see how they do.I am going to try that myself and I will post about it later.
Posted by: Jorge at January 7, 2004 12:09 AM131, another VM.
Like said before I believe we all found this site by searching for visual mathematician. As such similar stories abound. I did take a professional test in elementary which put me at 146. I remember that test, it was several hours long and most likely provided for a larger scaling. This test seemed way to short. A longer test also weeds out people blowing answers because to intentionally answer wrong you usually think of what the right answer is and avoid it, after a while this can become harder then answering the right answer. It was fun. Most of the uses for VMs seem to be in higher math and physics. The need is out there to find patterns in the universe and fit them into our mold of equations created by man.
Posted by: Thomas at January 7, 2004 10:37 AMI just scored 138 and according to the test I´m a visual mathematician. These types of tests say very little about how well we do in real life, I belive, but it was fun trying to solve the questions.
I´d like to do the test in my language though, swedish. I wonder if the score would be different. Some of the words puzzeled me.
Posted by: Tess at January 7, 2004 03:09 PMMy scores:
133 Visual Math/132 Emotional IQ
Hey everybody! Thought I’d put my 2 cents in. I’m a female in my 40’s. I do believe this test is accurate. The reason why all of us are here and reading this is BECAUSE we share something in common, i.e., we scored HIGH in this particular category and wanted to find out more without having to pay for it! This VM describes me totally. I was placed in the “bright” category in first grade and definitely am inclined mathematically and visually. Note: Was administered an IQ test at age 11 by the school psychologist and scored 139. In middle school, the math teacher would allow me to correct him without question if I felt his chalkboard computations were wrong! At age 23, I took a home administered Mensa qualifying test and scored 147. They asked me to come in and take the in-school test to see if I could pass that too, and if so,they could invite me to join, but I didn’t. (Too chicken!) For me, I think my VM talents affect me in the following ways: I can easily read body language and can spot whether someone is lying, uncomfortable, fearful, etc. I enjoy watching TV commercials with the sound off because I can see the real picture without the dialogue influencing me a different direction, I also notice distinct differences in color and texture others do not - as in clothing, furnishings, makeup, etc. I, too, find that I can explain myself better if I draw something or can show a picture. VM makes me excellent at organizing, categorizing and culling out things. I can scan a printed article and spot spelling and grammatical errors quickly. If you do an internet search on “IQ tests” you will find many options to read about and try, including the MENSA site. MENSA states, “…The term “IQ score” is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score of 148 on another test. Some intelligence tests don’t use IQ scores at all. Mensa has set a percentile as cutoff to avoid this confusion. Candidates for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile (a score that is greater than or equal to 98 percent of the general population taking the test) on a standard test of intelligence.”
By the way, on THE ULTRA TESTS from “Uncommonly Difficult I.Q. Tests” an IQ score of 121 = top 10% of the population, a 127 = top 5%, and 135 = top 1%. Also worth noting, there are many categories of itelligence. What you do with them and how you make a living will be guided by your interests, social skills, personal grooming, level of education and specialized training. There is a very good book available that addresses how to “Discover the perfect career for you through the secrets of personality type.” It is called DO WHAT YOU ARE. I found it very informative.
P.S. a few of you say you are terrible with remembering acquaintances names after you meet them, right? Well, that is a learned skill. I took a class when I was in 12th grade (Psycho Cybernetics) which addressed using visual clues to fix a person’s name in your memory. I learned it and it really works. Prior to my 20th high school reunion, I reviewed my yearbook and at the actual reunion, I was able to recognize by name all but one of the 350 attendees. (I worked the sign-in desk.)
VM’s have lots of talents - don’t limit yourselves!
I took the test and scored a 136. In the past I have scored 144 and 147. I guess I am getting dumber as I age (current age = 25). I am also a VM which is true seeing as I’m an accountant, LOL.
Posted by: Vlad the Impaler at January 8, 2004 03:36 PMI’m 18, tested at 138, being a VM. the reason why we ALL found this page was because we were wondering “what the HELL is a VM?!”. Anyway, i think this is pretty accurate, apart from the fact that it isn’t timed. it would be more accurate if timed, as with other tests i have taken. i’m acknowledged to be rather smart, though i can be considered to be someone with a terrible memory-short or long term. that’s pretty weird for someone this young, but apparently there’s nothing biologically wrong with me. wonder if anyone else has the problem.. i forget things between one minute and the next..like if i’ve already shampooed my hair.
heh i was laughing at the “work hard” post above, because that sounds so much like my parents, who are convinced that i can go a long way if i work hard. problem is that i only work at major exams, and that freaks them out because they always wonder if i’m going to fail (like usually).
I’m a 19 year old female and my score was 131.. I’m a visual mathematician also. I completely agree with what you said.. I memorize numbers/facts that way most of the time. I don’t usually remember the actual FACT, I remember the way it was written on the page. Hmmm.. that’s interesting. Not THAT interesting, considering where/how we all took this sort of useless test, but interesting nonetheless. =)
Posted by: Em at January 12, 2004 01:54 AMI’m searching for the meaning of Visual Mathematician and found this site. I’ve read your story of how you (Derek)memorize and read Rachel’s post but still not sure I understand. I agree that, like you guys, I love to memorize picture and also I change what I read to be 2D or 3D models (like computer graphic) to make me understand and remember them.
Anyway, I agree with some guys here that the Emode’s test may not be accurate. I feel the same as you that most questions are easy (Only a few question that took some time to think or guess). I was shocked when I found it’s a two-pages test with 40 questions (not one-page with 20 questions), so I did it quick though I’m not good at English. The result is, IQ score 135, which is too good. As I know, over 120 is a kind of genious and I don’t think I’m. The test may be somehow over-rated. What do you guys think?
PS. As I’ve heard, being between IQ 100-120 is called smarter than average people. Over 120 is genious. I’m one of the smartest guys among friends. I’m an all-rounder among friends but “genious” is too good for me. So, I suspect Emode.
Posted by: Sumet at January 12, 2004 03:00 PMIf all 135s are VMs, and all emode tests are scams, are all 135s getting scammed.
I think we are also cheap, as we looked elsewhere for the answer, or non-trusting.
… and co-incidentally, I am an engineer turned web-designer/programmer and hate a shitty web-site, in terms of overall look that is!
Argghhh!
Posted by: kal at January 12, 2004 05:21 PMYou know whats funny? Maybe all of us that got 133 are just smart enough to look through google, find this site and realize that we are too smart to spend the money to get a report of how smart we are.
I am a software engineer and I definitely think in patterns. I can close my eyes and visualize patterns very easily when solving problems. So maybe they are right since I am a visual mathametician. Don’t know if I just spelled that correctly.
Here is a likely pattern:
Those who score low will not buy a report.
Have fun
Posted by: JimZim at January 12, 2004 07:51 PMOk, the reason why we’re all Visual mathematicians IS because we were wondering what the term means, thus the reason why we followed the same route.
I scored 122 (VM)
And got the report for free (a special offer)…
The things that they say I’m good at is:
- Chess player (maybe, I play scientific checkers instead of Chess…which is just as hard. My current rating in checkers is 1755, record high is 1920. A rating of 2000 is considered to be expert and 2500 grandmaster)
- Mathematician (disagrees, I’m a noted math retard)
- Physicist (disagrees)
- Artist (maybe, I’m better than most people at drawing…can hang with some pros)
- Researcher (agrees, I’m currently researching herbal tonics at the world level)
They say that I’m good with patterns and can improve upon things easily….well, I do seem to be able to improve upon some things for example I see a lot of mistakes in the techniques used by the profession of Psychiatry (I think they have no techniques and I outclass them in every way at dealing with Depression).
I do seem to be good with patterns……I can see the same pattern across different topics, I’m good with metaphors (which is a pattern thing)
In Chess and Checkers, you need to see visual patterns and you have to be analytical…
I somewhat agree with emode but it really is BS I think…
Posted by: Chee Xiong at January 15, 2004 09:18 PMIt’s scary, I too took the Emode test, found out I’m a VM, and google searched it to end up here… 124

Posted by: Fernando at January 18, 2004 05:12 AMVM 135 and thank you to all of you. specially stuart. are we already over the 2% percentil of world wide population with people on this site? hum I wonder?
Posted by: Seldom at January 22, 2004 05:10 PMI think we should all have a CONNECT 4 TOURNAMENT and see who’s the real MATHemagician. Oh look, I’m so good at language too…I said mathemagician. YOU ALL NEED TO STOP TAKING TESTS AND START JERKING OFF.
Posted by: harry at January 23, 2004 04:06 AMGot 136 (VM), googled and came here.
Posted by: tats at January 25, 2004 12:49 AMAha! I just scored a 135 VM on the Emode test. I initially thought the results were profoundly foretelling. I recalled all the points in my life that supported the premise of a 135 *Visual Mathematician”.
Then I found this site. I now think it is equally important that I’m a Pisces.
What a ruse to get people to buy there crappy report. So disappointing…
Posted by: Joe at January 25, 2004 03:26 PMI scored 136. Visual Mathematician

Posted by: Ryan at January 26, 2004 06:43 PMI’m 16, I took the test and got a 126. As almost all of you, I am also a VM. Didn’t get a chance to read all of your posts. I got here the same way all of you did. Anyway, got school in 5 hours. I’m up to forming a club and taking over the world and all, lol. I’ll check back on the site later, everyone’s got my email. Time for 3.5 hours of sleep, night.
Posted by: Devin at January 27, 2004 03:06 AM well i took a test and i scored 122 and it said i should be a vm. well first of all how could i be a vm when i have no clue what it is and second i TOTALLY suck in math (laughing out loud)
well yeah so someone please tell exactly whet a vm is please????????…..
i’m also a VM…
It’s weird when someone responds wrong to each question he still gets a score of 79, instead of being a moron, he is still a gifted person good at handling change, coaching aso… this must be a joke…
I am a 137 Visual Mathematician too.I am 39 years old and my mother language is not English.All my life I have been considered specially gifted ,I never saw the gift inside me.I feel more confused than the others,most of the time tired and not motivated to do anything.I really don’t believe this abilities would help us in real situations more than our monthly or daily horoscope readings.

124 - Emode, VM, 20 min. ago
184 - Mensa test, 4 yrs. ago
89 - ASVAB, 5 yrs. ago
Nice to read comments from such a large group of intelligent people. We are not alone after all. ;-)
Posted by: abe at February 7, 2004 11:33 PMI’m 131 & VM.
I just got an idea, if all of us is really those 2%~7% clever people. What about telling us what’s your job? Maybe that can help us to tell the reliability of this test and the intelligence we own?
I took the emode test a couple of years ago and looked it up again after finding your site. I scored 135 and was also a VM. The thing to remember about IQ tests is that the scoring systems are different for each one. There is no such thing. any more. as a “standard” IQ test. This is why Mensa has made changes to thier entry requirements over the years. However, the skills evaluation which determined that I am a VM, I think is pretty accurate. I too tend to see in pictures and patterns and as such can sometimes see things in a much different light than many people I know.
Posted by: Arnie at February 13, 2004 04:43 PMholy crap! i have no choice but to laugh at myself! i was “WOW! a 129 VM! COOL!… what’s a vm?” googled it and here i am with all you guys lol whata scam…
Posted by: Joseph at February 17, 2004 03:24 PMHi…Im 42 with a score of 136 and Visual Mathematician. 131 in timed IQ test 4 yrs ago. Re interest in careers I am studying psychology and getting high grades. I find it easier to remember phone numbers by punching numbers into phone rather than remembering numbers in my head. I sketch faces quite well, and can easily memorise piano pieces without the music - im told im gifted musically…I can usually convert a tune ive heard just a few times to piano or guitar in any key, and can arrange harmonies no problems. I love Bach and Im interested in philosophy and religion because I think I am drawn to see the bigger picture in life - that’s so natural to me. I forget important practical things, forget where i put things but capable of organisation when i devise a system…just sticking to it is the problem…Im a bit of a dreamer really. Forget names. Good at spelling and notice mistakes easily. I agree with Jorge that highly intelligent people are more curious about there intelligence - and maybe a person with a higher result is more likely to post it here as well as the fact that most here are looking for what a VM is without paying the dough! Perhaps we know from experience or intuition that we will do well and seek affirmation. In any case Ive learnt that a high IQ doesnt guarantee happiness or wisdom. Ive enjoyed reading the comments here. Cheers from Aussie!
Posted by: Leanne at February 20, 2004 08:07 AMLeanne, you used the improper word “there” in your last post, as it should have been their. If you are so good at spelling, then why did you misspell so many simple words? It seems that if you notice grammatical and spelling mistakes so well, and with so little effort, that you would be less likely to make mistakes in your own post.
Posted by: Bob Smith at February 21, 2004 04:23 AMI got 135 and I was classified as a VM. I don’t think that I’m enough smart to get such a high score of 135. I’m sure that the test’s wrong. As a whole, the questions are very easy, though some ligustic questions are hard to answer, especially for the ones who don’t speak English like me. My score was 112 when I got tested 4 years ago.
Posted by: jewook kim at February 25, 2004 08:42 AMI scored 131, VM. Have never been very good at Maths, but have a pretty good memory! I think it is right to say that we all ended up here because we are similarly too smart to pay a fee for a report that we would read once! Anyway, if anyone knows any more free IQ tests, post them here- beats actually doing some proper work anyway!!

Posted by: HackerTech at March 1, 2004 09:47 AMI got 136 and “Facts Curator,” which sounds like a fairly good description - I do tend to collect facts in my mind. And I am not very visual. But it seems suspicious that there would be so many visual mathematicians on this site. Even with all these comments, I see no way to figure out whether this test is worth anything at all. I can deduce that we don’t know. So give me one more point.
Posted by: Ralph at March 2, 2004 03:22 PMTook the emode IQ test today and scored a 131 with a designation of “VM.” I’m 31 years old, and was last tested (insofar as IQ is concerned) back when I was about 9 years old. I phoned my father who said I scored around a 134, if he recalled correctly. He also said IQ scores can vary roughly 10 points either way depending upon the test and the test-taker’s mental state on that particular day. He should know - he taught English for 17 years before going to law school and becomming an attorney. Myself? Well, I’m pretty much a feckless bum. LOL. Guess a 131 doesn’t account for much in this world, eh?! LOL.
Posted by: jason at March 2, 2004 05:07 PMI am starting to feel not so smart only scoring a 127, but the TV was going, and I thought it might be timed also…aren’t IQ Tests normally timed? Oh well wife only scored 126. ;) said she was a Precision Processor. what is a Precision Processor anyway? maybe i should check it out on google…………….
I scored a 133 VM. I think it’s a scam as well. Some of the other tests on eMode are pretty cool though. I took an official IQ test when I was in middle school when I was being tested for ADD, I scored a 126, but after seeing that everyone (including some of my not so smart friends) scores between 120 -140 makes me have my doubts.

the people here have similar scores to the Visual Mathematicians here.
I got 131 VM.
www.erichaller.com/archives/000173.html
but these people got visionary philosopher on the IQ test.
This is definatly a patern, everyone go online get a pop up, do this iq test. get a high result, and are all too cheep to pay for the report.
which is probably a good thing because the test is a scam.
The personality explanation they give is kinda like the horoscopes in that they all apply to anyone in some way.
This has been one big waste of time.
my conclution is that if you got 131 like me. you must be a dumb ass for wasting your time.

Only a moron could believe that accurate comparisons of people’s intelligence could be derived from only a few questions without a time limit. Guessing correctly and/or taking too long could significantly skew the result. That test was a complete waste of time and I am now a little bit stupider for participating. Everybody is intelligent in unique ways and there is no way to rank intelligence or academic potential accurately. I bet it is pretty hard to score average on the test. These internet scam artists just want you to feel special so you’ll give up your cash. I’m not giving up my day job to pursue visual mathematics!
Mi puntaje fue 127/VM y siempre que hago test de IQ similares, encuentro concordancia con este resultado. Quiero saber qué otros tipos de inteligencia existen y cuales son sus caraterísticas….
Posted by: Néstor Lozano at March 8, 2004 02:21 PMAm I the only one who got a 144 (Visionary Philosopher)? I took Mensa’s tests ten years ago or so and I scored 142 and 151 on the two tests they gave me. This test seemed too easy. A couple questions made me think, but I’m pretty sure I got them all right — which means there weren’t questions for a good range in scores.
Posted by: Scott at March 9, 2004 08:35 PMHi there, I took this test this morning waiting to download a pop-up blocker and got 133 VM. I think these tests feel easy no matter how well you do. 133’s lower than my usual, but I fear I was so tired with the post may 5th special interest rate and the rest of the don’t think just follow a million steps that could save you $3.85 garbage that I chose things like lie down rather than point the finger. I have chronic fatigue. It is nice to know I still have some beans left rattling around up there, so bless the test’s positive attitude, and…..yes, it does sound like the Sunday Horrorscope. What can one do for cash as a couch bound “Gifted Visual Mathematition”?? Jane

THIS IS NOT FUNNY! Please be very careful!

By the way…I’m a VM too! (133)
Posted by: ca_million at March 14, 2004 09:24 AMI scored 135 and a VM too, but i don’t believed it will considered me as intelligent… an aboved average maybe… i don’t take it seriously coz it don’t have a time limit. I think all who have their education can pass this kind of IQ Test and may have a good results and who are taking this IQ Test anyway… THE ONE WHO ARE IN THE OFFICE, THE ONE WHO HAS A JOB & THE ONE WHO PASSED THEIR CHOSEN PROFESSION.
Posted by: danny at March 15, 2004 01:16 AMI got 131, but I am precision processor.
Why am I so different?
I am from Germany and English is not my native language. Nevertheless, I took the test.
I got 129 and ranked as a visual mathematician.
I took the test at 6.00 am, making it midnight at the East coast.
Are any other Non-US citizens out there?
Posted by: Andreas at March 23, 2004 12:29 AMHi all,
i’ve got 127 the first time and when i saw your blog i started to doubt of this iq test lol.
so , did it a second time , answering all questions with the wrong answer , got 81 or something and it says i’m good nia nia nia …
it’s the first time i do one of those fu**ing iq test , i always doubt of those and now i doubt more lol.
Let’s just stop trying to test our “iq” around, i always thinked and continue thinking that those are nothing but crap ( like casino online etc… )
What are we trying to proove by doing those tests huh ? calculating our intellect of clicking words and spending time to do nothing !?
I recently took the test and score 138…i’ve taken different IQ Tests and always scored in the high 130s or low 140s…did anyone purchase the VM analysis (15 page report). If you did, could you email me the whole discription. Thanks. In terms of recognizing patterns, numbers, and faces, I’m great at that. Names…forget about it. lol
Posted by: Tom Sun at March 25, 2004 12:44 PMScored 135 “Visionary Philosopher”.
Fun test, but I really think the whole
concept of IQ testing is bullshit.
Too much room for bias (in many senses
of that word). However, it seem this
test is nicely balanced and at least
preferrable to a *timed* test. How can
a legitimate IQ be determined by rushing
to judgement??
Well I have just taken the Emode test, and I got the grand old high score of 133 and yes I am aprently a Visual Mathematician. Oh and I do kinda believe that it is a bussines and so therefore they are trying to be nice to you to make a quick buck. The interesting thing thoguh is that when 14 I saw an Educational psychologist regarding my dyslexia, in the report afterwords the shrink described my intelligence as being in the top 5% of the country, but I don’t know if that is 133 or not. oh and being a dyslexic I have noticed that I have big problems remembering names, and normally using mathmatics too, which makes me wonder about this emode test
Posted by: Alex at March 26, 2004 03:15 PMG’day.
I just took the ‘Web tickle’ test while avoiding study for an exam. I scored 124 and apparently i’m a VM too. I relate to the number pattern, name and face thing although I was surprised at being classified as a ‘Mathematitian’ as maths was my least strong subject at school. Anyway, better get back to the study… (btw - I’m New Zealand)
Posted by: Elbow at March 28, 2004 10:50 PMI scored 133 six months ago, and then 136 today - both results “visual mathematician.” I was tested by a professional at age 11 and was placed in the range 120-130. I do not find this tickle test invalid. There may be some bumping up on the low side for marketing purposes, but on the above average end, it seems about right. I’m not impressed with the folks who have written in and said “it was incredibly easy.” They do not appear to have aced it.
Posted by: underdog at April 2, 2004 03:22 AMThere has been some debate here as to the validity of the test. (I’m a 127 VM.) A few thoughts:
1. We are all VM’s because we did a google for VM.
2. People with lower IQs:
Aren’t as likely to be online.
Don’t visit the sites where the test is posted.
Don’t like the idea of taking IQ tests.
Didn’t do well so quit.
Didn’t do well so didn’t look for more info online.
Were suckered into buying the report when they could find it online.
Were embarrased to enter this chat because they have a low IQ.
3. People with higher IQs:
Already knew their IQ so didn’t take the test.
Already knew what a VM was and didn’t have to search online for it.
Don’t have time to waste taking IQ tests online or respondign to these chat groups.
So, this is likely why we all are VMs and have similar IQs.
well, 126 VM.. read every last one of these posts due to boredom. just to throw wood on the fire… in school I always did really well on tests and hated studying and homework. Depending on WHAT im remembering, my memory usually sucks. Im a 20 yr old white american male(hahahahah just so we can try to develop a more dense pattern maybe!!!!), could say baptist but im in a dark time in life so… anyways. I did well in school when it came to tests, I studied next to never, yet usually did decently well if I was conscious during the lectures during class. I dont get out much, so im basically stuck to seeing the same faces so the names stick. My social life has always been a dreadful mess and I look back on most of it with anger and pain so I cant really comment on the faces/names bit. I am horrible with phone numbers though, I cant tell a number to someone but can punch it in no problem, and know exactly where I messed up while punching it in if it happens(damn phones and their crap keys). When i was younger i was suspected to have a.d.d. but was kept on a very mild 10 mg/day diet of ritalin which accomplished nothing, doctors said they couldnt be sure if I had it or not. I always did as well(or better) than all the brains in school at tests, but the homework and projects dropped my score. Some of my teachers hated me because I was a poor student, other teachers said I had a brilliant mind that I was waisting. I CAN draw, but only IF I have the want to draw a specific thing, otherwise it ends up looking like dog poo (atleast to me). I took the asvab almost 3 years ago, I was serious with it until the last 3 sections of it, at which point I just started going a,b,c,a,b,c,a,b,c etc. scored an 84 on it(i was hungry and my MOS i was shooting for was a minimum to pass of 51, so I didnt care and knew I would make that, as a reservist our MOS is final BEFORE enlistment unlike active duty, atleast for the USMC). I did very well at drill(marching, rifle movements etc) and shooting rifles because I would make patterns for both, during bootcamp. MCT I did well at things I could make into patterns but due to averaging 3-4 hrs of sleep for 21 days I did horribly on the 3 tests we took(that and I knew I wouldnt get dropped for failing, too many stupid marines!) My MOS(military occupational specialty) was motor transport mech echelon 2(3521 for all you devil dogs that probably wont see this board), and I scored first in class(because I had alot of disgust for the others in my class and wanted to show them I was superior *snicker*, so my drive was there), which entailed me beating out a seasoned john deer tractor mechanic, 2 others that made a living off of automotive technician-esque jobs prior to the Corps, and 3 NCO’s that were trained on this exact MOS for minimum of 6 months, one had a year on the job training. My desiel/automotive technical training prior to enlisting was minute, i knew how a combustion engine worked and that was it, suspension, electronics, transmissions, anything else, you name it, I was ignorant of it. Anyways, does this mean I know more about desiels after the 12 week course? hardly, I just knew the system in which they graded and molded a pattern for myself to not fail and exploited it. Things that interest me I can pick up very quickly, just depends where my mind is. My problem in life is finding my mind and having innitiative. At the moment I am pending discharge from the marines for physical limitations that have developed, have horribly failed my first attempt at a single semester in junior college(due to lack of interest among other things in my personal life). I am also unemployed and living off of daddy! lost my job in Nov., and completely clueless in what I want to do in life, I know what I dont want to do, but have NFC what I would be comfortable doing for a living. I am a firm believer in “work to live, dont live to work”, and I dont see much in life yet to work for. I believe that a large % of society is full of complete retards that need to have the hands held through life, and I find it apalling these individuals get to vote, or do anything that would effect others’ lives.
Count me in for taking over the world. We will either enslave or erradicate the morons that infect the world!
by the way, I WAS also pretty good at english/grammar, but being out of real schooling for almost 4 years(got my diploma at ADULT ED!!! CUZ IM LAZY HAHAHAHAHA), and hanging around marines for 3 years kinda drops your iq about 30 points/year.
good seeing other would-be geniuses that got some annoying pop-ups from some scrupulous file(mine was PORNO!!! hahaha, watch out fellow pervs!), in boredom took a test and googled to see wtf is up with VM!
I am done with my 4 am bordering insanity-ish post, have fun you virtual magicians!
gotta love when solicitors come into your house when you are trying to be naughty and throw their doomed business at you. who else things telemarketers/ad spammers should be burned alive?
Posted by: Chewbacca at April 5, 2004 04:58 AMby the way…
who else used fake personal info to submit for this craptastic test?
I was Luna (some random last name generated by my fingertips to be some foreing last name), with some lude email address(same thing I did for this post :p) and NOT a US citizen?
who else is that paranoid?
by the way I hate looking over my post and seeing my grammatical errors!
Posted by: chewbacca at April 5, 2004 05:02 AMAHAHAHAH 3 strikes and Im OUT!
forgot to mention, most of my friends/peers that I have known throughout life think I am pretty smart, but I make really really really really bad decisions that really hinder me in life!
practical application FLUNKY, any other virtual magicians like that?

Chewbacca needs to get a life.
I scored 124 VM!!!!!!!
I scored a 133 both times I have taken the test at “web tickle” - so at least you can say that it is accurate. I think the results are fairly accurate because I have always considered myself in the top 1 percentile (although according to reports I have read a 133 would put me in the top 2 percentile - oh well - I’ll have to deal).
The blog was fun to read.
Thanks for the info!
Posted by: Bobby T at April 10, 2004 01:31 AMafter reading all this stuff give it all guys and good luck to the next fellow who comes in search of visual maths stuff.
Andreas,
I am Asian and took the tickle test today. Got 136 with Visual Mathematician.
English is not my native language, therefore it might be not very accurate for my case.
Took the test 30 minutes ago and looked up VM.
Stopped reading after november 14. Great way to move us all into buying a report (which only took 15 minutes!). Even though I didn´t buy it, I truely see the beauty in the marketing trick.
Ego is a powerfull selling force!
I have no doubt all you guys are pretty smart, but emotions also drive us and admit it, we all like to here we are smart. Fatties buy products that make them thin (at least that´s what the label says), yuppies buy GQ and Wired announced products, etc.
So the tests appeal to a sector or market segment that knows is smart, but wants to know just how much.
check out what wikipedia says about the tests:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iq
Oh! and just for kicks, I got 129 and actually am a Mathematician how works in IT consulting.
Posted by: marco at April 16, 2004 05:38 PMI am from Holland and I also got a 126 VM.
What I want to know if anybody got a different result? Is there anybody who did the test and was not a VM?
Posted by: Yvo at April 19, 2004 11:13 AMI’ve found the report, finally. just googled “Visual Mathematician report”.
http://www.jenniferism.com/results/iq.php#intellectual
trying not to be too much ego.
hiya,
i m a Asian woman who scored 118, a VM. Interesting to know there are soooooo many VM around the world who are desprately to know what the hell is VM! LOL.
The reason i took the test is to know am i a genius or dummy? The marketing stratery wasn’t really successful to us because we did not buy the reports. Enough to know we r the VM, enough to know there are so many GENIUS around the world who avoid to spend money and search for a FREE ‘report’. I truly think we are genius, it depend on which area we are talking about.
I can remember images very well. Remember phone number by how it dial, can’t tell the phone number without looking or visualizing the dial pad. I can still remember most of my kindergarden mate, but not the name. I can remember things very clearly by visualizing the colour of the place, voice or even smell. I have to write down things to memorise or memorized things in visualized it. Anyway, English is my second language, i can speak more than 5 language, most of the language i speak is in Chinese dialect.
Well, i guess i had given my ‘miki IQ report’ to the rest of you. Hope you enjoy and wish you all the best. The IQ test did let me learned something, EVERYBODY ARE UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL.

Posted by: miki at April 25, 2004 03:04 PMme again, why i pressed one time post and it showed up two? i think i m a dumb, because my bf always say i LOVE to ask silly question. He never said i m comedian, but my friends and family find me ‘studid funny’. I find a lots of people who post their honesty speech here are god damn funny! Derek, you’ve the most VM in the whole world, you can probably contact the GUINESE WORLD RECORD for collecting most VM in the world.
I do love to be dumb, because i don’t want to genius. I don’t want to be genius, because… I have enough of VM and i have to kick my arse to get back and finish my MARKETING assignment!
Oh, yeah. I m Malaysian who is currently studying Marketing in Australia.
IMPORTANT: I’ve heard some people say, after woman has given birth, they are not as ‘smart’ as they used to be, is there any prove?
Posted by: MIKI at April 25, 2004 03:44 PMUmmmmmmmmm alike all of you, I took this test, scored a 133 and googled it. I have a photographic memory… and it freaks my boyfriend out. Any one else sufer from this?
Posted by: assiral at April 26, 2004 12:34 AMThere is definitely something about all of us that we have so many “traits” alike. Anyone interested in having an intelectual conversation about ‘visual mathematician’ and how our lives could correlate, send me an email I’d be glad to hear what you think.
Posted by: vana at April 26, 2004 10:02 PMI took the damn test a few times about 2 years ago out of boredom and got between 135 and 146 VM.. Scary enough, I’m just like most of you (loner-type that dropped out of high school due to boredom, never studied much but just remembered what I had written in notes or diagrams I had seen, remember phone numbers from before I was 6 years old, am horrible with names unless everyone stays in one place for a while so I can memorize their correlating names, never forget a face, etc)
I’m thinking, however, that this scary-ass phenomenon we’ve stumbled across here (all of us scoring the same, then googling the term, sometimes quite a while after we’ve taken the test) can be chalked up to exactly what the test was for… Marketing off brain-types :D
Interested to know, though, how many of us are Taureans? I was born 4/28.. might be enlightening to find out
Bet this two tall socks guy never realized what he might start! Thanks.. brightened up my day
Posted by: flyingdog at May 5, 2004 08:33 PMWhat a complete croc all of this is.
I saw my gf doing this iq thing last night and get 131… VM…
So i think, i might try that to. Guess what, i get a 131 as well! another VM.
I am a programmer, and could have believed VM. But my girlfriend is more like a writer, editor, and hates maths.
I do not have a good memory, nor photgraphic memory.
Sounds like we have a wide selection here. The test is an absolute croc!
Posted by: Boogle at May 6, 2004 03:50 AMI recieved a 122 VM as well, I have no clue what it means, but I can say that I like to imagine the similarities between numbers and Images. Maybe its just my imagination, or maybe I just have too much time on my hands LOL.

Posted by: Matt at May 6, 2004 08:26 AMHaha, with a little bit of help I think I have managed to get every question right and elevated myself from a Visual Mathematicain to a Visionary Philosipher. I initially took the test and got a 136 but with careful thought and a little help from google I double and triple checked each answer to try and achieve a maximum! Though I’m still not sure about the numbers that that guys likes…
Don’t forget though that your IQ is based on a comparison with people of a simlar age so that as there are many clever young people(?!) the average IQ is higher so it is more difficult to get a high score…
i am also a vm. i scored a 129 and thought wow what the hell is a vm. so i am looking it up and now i think that if there is a job market out there for a vm then there is going to be a flood into that market. so i will find something else to do. although i find it interesting that so many of us vm’s have some of the same traits.
Posted by: tisch at May 7, 2004 06:46 PMhey all. Took the test…126 VM.
to Flyingdog ; Im a taurus too 13/5.
Anyhow, I am realy laughing now after i found this page.. Unbeleivable how many of us are looking for that something to tell us ” YES! YOUUUU, you are a GENIUS, you are fantastic” LOL. Instead they just throw us a bone and call it Visual Mathematician… google google google and Voila! we all end up here hihi.
Besides that, I too nodded at the story…
Ok..take care all you VM´s!
Posted by: maybel at May 20, 2004 05:48 AMI am still a high school dropout but now i have 6 hours of college.I took test a second time and I got a 131.It says I am a precision processor.It means that I am especially good at discovering quick solutions to problems, especially ones that involve math or logic.The funny thing is I am currently majoring in math.Oh by the way incase you all are wondering how i got into college being a dropout and all.I got my G.E.D. a few years ago.I also have taken other I.Q. tests recently and i received a 132.Conincidence I think not.Keep up the studying,reading,and thinking it does help you get smarter even one point more in your I.Q. is a big diffrence.I still need alot of work in my math so please dont test my math skills I am still in college alg.
Posted by: Jorge Gallegos at May 25, 2004 12:09 PMI took the test, googled, read the top half of the comments on this blog.
scored 135, also a VM, so funny to see so many of VMs here. I have good memories, but I do not think I am good at math, though I used to have high scores on math tests, I know I am very far from being a genius.
Posted by: Xu at May 27, 2004 12:28 PMi got 136 n i’m a visual mathematician too…
Posted by: venkat at June 2, 2004 04:43 PM127 here.
And I’m as thick as shit.
I took the test and scored 126 after smoking marijuana and i m also a visual mathematician.
Conclusion:
MARIJUANA doesn’t damege the memory LOL
X Brazil
Posted by: joao at June 4, 2004 02:30 AMi took the iq test and am also a VM with a score of 127. I am currently a psych student at penn state so i guess the ability to look at the big picture and notice patterns thing is working out to my benefit.
Posted by: Melissa at June 6, 2004 09:00 PMI’m just joining the club. Scored a 129 ,VM, whatever that is.
Posted by: Niel at June 7, 2004 05:30 PMTook the test, scored 131 VM. Anyone that elaborated on their lives described mine perfectly. Only a few spoke about fatigue. Does this bother anyone else? I am CONSTANTLY tired. No matter how much sleep I get. I used to sleep all the time at work, but I was so good at making everything efficent and easy for everyone, they didnt mind. I wonder if our minds work too much which causes us to be tired. I went to my doctor about it and he suggested I had adult a.d.d. and sent me to a psychiatrist, who in turn said I didnt have a.d.d., but an avoidant personality disorder, which in turn caused depression. Anyone else avoid everything they can? People, bills, even sports scores. I wont even look at my favorite teams scores until i see how everyone else did. I just wonder if all this ties into the VM thing. Any thoughts? By the way, my short term memory SUCKS, and I also stink at Math. Matter of fact, when I took the math diagnostic test in college, I placed in the lowest tiers!
Posted by: Jarrod at June 18, 2004 11:25 AMAccording to the description for VM, people turn to us for direction. This hasn’t been true for me in the past, but, lo and behold, there is a small line of people forming outside of my townhouse right now. I hope my garden hose has enough pressure to keep them at bay.

Posted by: Daniel Allen at June 18, 2004 11:17 PMhey, well i scored 135 in the classic iq test, being a VM as well…and a 133 in the super iq test (both on tickle.com)..here i’m a complex intellectual..i don’t believe that all scores from maybe 120 to 135 are VM, it depends on what questions you get right and which you get wrong…if you get the visual stuff wrong but have all the language stuff right, you won#t be a VM but can still have a high score…that’s my opinion… i have a visual memory as well (at exams i could remember what the page in the book looked like, etc), and i’m good with numbers..i know all the license plate #s of my family’s cars,even of friends..and all phone numbers of course…but still i suck in maths..the vocab questions etc. were harder for me in that iq test cause i’m not a native speaker…i’ve taken an oq test before at a psycholgist when i was in school 10 years ago, and the score was similar, sth. between 130 and 135…
btw, the iq is always relative to others in a similar “group”, so a 135 for 11 year olds does not mean that the 11 year old answered as many questions correct as an adult, but it means compared to other 11 year olds it’s a 135 score…that’s why they ask for your age, because it also influences the result (at least it should be like that)
last statement: iq tests can be learned and trained, that’s why the iq is not something naturally fixed, but something you can change…

Can we have a show of hands(count) of those who brought it.
Either they feel so stupid that they have committed the money and got nothing out of it or something else.
A VM 133 ????
haha
Yeah, yeah, okay. I took the test and got a score of 133 and a designation as a “visual mathmetician,” too. But before any of us get too excited about how smart we all are, google the term, and you’ll find the only references to it connect to THIS emode IQ test. To say nothing about them trusting my assertion that I was a 13-year-old girl with ‘some high school’ completed. Actually, I’m an 87-year-old male porn star, thanks to the miracle of Cialis. Cheers.
