PCIiQ is a supposedly serious and high quality test that asks you questions about computers, software, and hardware. Then it determines your Iq in terms of Computer knowledge. It's actually the most interesting test I have ever taken, and I would suggest that anyone here interested and knowledgable in computers to take it. There are 3 sets of tests: The short 10 question one, the medium 25 question one, and the long 60 question one. Some questions are: A firewire is A/an: What is a search engine? Versions of Intel's Pentium 4 CPUs can be fitted into all of the following sockets except: RAID is a/an: Which would have the largest file size? Test: www.stevenseow.com/pciq I took the MINI test (10 Ques) and got 80% Good Luck!!!

I took the full test and scored 57 of 60 correct (95%). I suppose I should give the URL and put "PCiQ-X0604-407-128849" on my Curriculum Vitale? I'm often troubled by quizzes like this because there is a high degree of ambiguity in the questions (or at least the wording). I also dislike when they equate general computer knowledge with knowing about Windows. I took the test and encountered several such situations which was very frustrating. I might suggest that tests like this do little to gauge the knowledge of the person taking the test but do a great job convey the level of knowledge of the person that created the test. Bah, ignore me. I am (evidently) a curmudgeon. P.S. It might have been nice if had informed me what I got wrong so I could actually learn something from this test and/or argue that the question was poorly worded.

I got a 90% on the short test - PCiQ-X0604-475-904776. I'll try the full one later on. I agree that the correct answers would help at the end - it's bugging me that I don't know which of those questions I got wrong!

Also its not clear how up to date it is. e.g. the graphics card question. No mention of PCI-E. is that on purpose or is it even known about at the time of writing

...52% on the 25-question test... *Shrugs* If I didn't know that I didn't know, I wouldn't know what to say, but I do: I know very little.
