It depends on the type if IQ test. The ones in magazines etc or the ones on the net often have a hidden agenda and make the tests purposefully easy so you get a high score.

Answer 4

Quite smart, but you should keep in mind that the standard IQ test relies a lot on Pattern recognition, if you are predisposed to being able to see patterns you will have an artificially high score and if you have trouble then it will be artificially low. The cognitive aspect of the test is quite small and as such it is not held is high regard anymore.
