IQ Test on Facebook gives wrong "right" answers

The Facebook IQ Test has no value and would not pass any scientific norming. The crators have thrown together some questions and answers, and sometimes these are wrong. What's worse, people have become emotionally attached to this test, probably flattered by the high IQ results it gives, all too freely if you ask me, and implicitly trust it, thinking it reliable. In this video it's me browsing some of the "bonus questions" - yeah, right, if you answer one of these, say, in less than one minute, your IQ would have to be recalculated. Experts, indeed. Note that the correct answer for the question about the four-sided shapes is 26, but it is not given among the choices, and they answer 18.

The quadrilateral question is wrong, I counted 22, whatever the answer is it is above 18 for certain. The question "What is 50 divided by half plus 25?" had the correct answer: if you have 50 loaves and give each person half a loaf you can feed 100 people, add 25 and the answer is 125.

question six about the age of johanna is too vague to give one specific answer. not sure about my maths, but i got that she is either 53 or 54.

if henry was 7 on 22nd july '87, he could have just turned 7, like a day or two before, or he could be about to turn 8 in a few days, or anything inbetween. this means that henry was born between 23rd july '79 and 21st july '80.

so, was johanna turn 24 in dec '78 or '79?

she was born EITHER dec '54 or dec '55

took me a little while to find them all, but yeah, there is 26. i swear, some of the other questions on this test are so random just to get people to buy the report and try understand what they're about
