1. READ this sentence:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
2. Now, count aloud the F’s in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do not go back and count them again.
3. Now… write your answer down so you can’t cheat.
4. Enjoy the following chart of IQ’s for various types of occupations.
5. Wondering how you did on that test at the beginning? I’ll tell you only if you’re honest enough to leave a comment and let us know your score.
6. (Brief interruption to give credit to the source of the IQ occupation chart.)
7. And finally… the results.
There are six F’s in the sentence.
A person of average intelligence finds three of them.
If you spotted four, you’re above average.
If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody.
If you caught six, you are a genius.
There is no catch. Many people forget to count the F in the word “OF.” The human brain tends to see them as “V’s” instead of “F’s.”
Now… now you have to tell us how many F’s you read in the sentence, and if you need a reminder not to cheat… just check the poor doll in the fraccy banner.

Apparently I can turn my nose up at almost anybody – not that I would of course ……..
….. Penfold, who did the test as well, is, apparently, a genie’s arse ……
I got all six. lol. And I am self employed in a creative computer related industry. How is this possible when I clearly have the IQ of a small soapdish?
Daddy Papersurfer – *Ahem* I seem to recall someone who exhibited a wee bit of the snobbery regarding novels…
Daddy Papersurfer – I see. So Penfold is a genie’s arse, but not capable of leaving his own comment here. Hmm. I’m sure he got all six then… suuure.
Linda – Damn. There’s an IQ test for soapdishes online? Please give the link… I’d like to be the first to post it and get all the traffic.
My pleasure. You will find out if you were dropped on your head as a child. They had to invent a new one for me. I’m apparently a soapdish.
The Soapdish IQ Test
You’ll need to go into comments and fix that url, because I broke it. *hangs head*
Just call me genius lololololhahahahahlolololo
But I knew that already…. old test same results the first time I did it….
linda – I don’t think it was you that broke it. When I tried to put the link code in and use the url as the text for the link… it broke for me too. Twice. It only worked when I replaced the text with “The Soapdish IQ Test” instead of the url to the page.
See… you’re not a soapdish after all!
gottabkd – Which test? Linda’s soapdish one or my ‘F” one?
Why the “F” one oF course LOLOLOLOLOLO
I came ‘up’ with three at first. Saw that there was ’six’ after you mentioned, then rechecked by actually mouse hovering along the sentence.
I picked up four then.
Seeing the mention of ‘of’, I mouse hovered BACKWARDS over the sentence. Originally my mind ignored the two letter words on both forward scans.
Very cute, Fracas.
