    Fun facts about IQ:

    1) Gardner argued in the 80s that there were at least nine different types of intelligence, and conventional IQ tests only examined 2-3 them. I like it.

    2) Presently, IQ tests focus on convergent thinking (i.e., coming to a single answer) and do not tap it's opposite, divergent thinking (coming up with multiple answers). The latter can also be thought of as 'creativity'. Here's some sample questions testing divergent thinking:

    Name as many words as you can that begin with the letter 's' in one minute.

    How many different uses can you come up with for a paper clip (one minute)?

    This makes me feel better. I can't solve any puzzle >elementary to save my life, but I'm gangster at the two examples you gave for divergent thinking.
