SCORING INSTRUCTIONS
First, based on the correct answers above, count how many you got correct. Locate that number in the correct age column, then directly to the right in the last column (I.Q. column), you will locate your correct I.Q. rating.

For example, if you are 12 years old and had 32 answers correct, you locate 32 in the 12 year column and you will find that you have an I.Q. rating of 118. Example 2: If you are 26 years old and had 43 correct answers, your IQ is 122.
