I think you're being a little unfair on yourself there. Most people are in the top 97%, you're probably in the top 3%
. Although the emode test cannot have a very high accuracy (about twenty questions measuring on a scale of about two hundred points gives an accuracy that can't be much better than nearest ten points) I tried going through answering every question wrongly and got 72 points, almost the inverse of my 129 points that I got trying to answer everything correctly.
Bear in mind that anyone with a sub 50 IQ probably can't read or write, so anyone with a sub 100 IQ is likely to struggle enough with the whole deal that they'd give it up as a bad game. Also, because of people's prejudices anyone with a low IQ is unlikely to want to post it, but probably wouldn't lie about it. Not that I need to explain any of this to anybody on this thread
