Last night i went bonkers when i realised what a sham Test the Nation really is! It's supposed to be accurate, but i'll be a cremated teacake if it is! These are my reasons, therefore, why i think it's codswallop.
1. You have to be able to read to understand it.
2. You have to be able to understand english to understand it.
3. You have to be able to see to know what's going on.
4. You have to have access to a tv or computer to join in.
5. All the questions are very westernised, i.e. all the questions are based on things only westernised people would understand.
6.It's not going to be a very good estimation for which county has the highest IQ, because of the reasons mentioned above and also because some people simply don't want to take part. So, you're not taking an estimation of the whole nation, just a selection, so some of the estimations could be way out and therefore the county's IQs may be in the wrong order.
7. There is no way that I have a higher IQ than my mum!
8. This was my opinion, so it doesn't count.
9. It doesn't give you long enough to look at the pictures, etc. so you may not know what you're looking for.
10. The pictures aren't clear enough (some of them, anyway.)
11. They don't always explain the questions properly, so often you don't understand what you're supposed to be doing!
Please debate this. I'd love to know what other people think.
