    The Effect of Intelligence and Religiousness on Family Size

    Hi,
    I am a student from Newcastle University, England. I am studying how IQ and religious beliefs affect the number of children people have.

    I am looking for willing participants to take part. I would be very grateful if you would take the time to fill in my survey:

    Thankyou for your time.

    Done, let us know your results. I found that quite a challenging IQ test.

    How else are you recruiting?

    As I expected I found the questions involving word answers easier than those involving numbers. I admit I merely guessed a couple.

    I'm sorry. I looked at the questions but they were so dull. My answer to all of them would probably be 'who cares'. Still I'm not religious and have no kids so maybe that explains my reaction.

    Bit of fun that, served to remind me why I have alwas found IQ tests impossible.

    As a language-oriented person (NB English is not my native language), I have never been good with those "equation-like tasks". I just don't get them (and never cared to get them either :D). 1 1 1 6 4 2 3 7 - which is missing? What's the point?:) Nevertheless, I had 10 points (it was/is a 1-10 point scale we use) in my high school maths exam - dealing with "real" maths :D
    Tried to do the test, but soon realised that doing it in a non-native language (plus the not beloved numbers) is impossible. Ah, and that Friday beer...
    Would I be booed at if I said that these IQ tests are slightly on the fun side?

    The IQ test is poor. There are a couple of questions ( at least) where the answers True or Flase could be equally valid.
