Hi Nick,

I actually never got told the answer by Mensa, so your guess is as good as mine (in fact, it is probably better!)

hi there, just curiosity, was the answer hope?

There was one extra element I forgot to mention. The question said to focus on the meaning of each word, rather than the type of word, or spelling of the word.

There would have to be a Japanese EQ test out there somewhere Andy. I think you could do the translation yourself perhaps?

Interesting…

Yeah the answer is bright…the only adjective. Hope is a noun and verb. “I hope we win” (v), and “it was my last hope” (n)

Last night a girl told me she wanted to test my IQ!! So, wish I could do the Mensa test here in Japan.

EQ is one area where Japanese people would fail dismally…I’d love to have one translated and do a study. Though this raises the question…do cultural issues come into play?

The logic sounds good to me. How is hope a noun though?

My guess on the IQ question is that “bright” is the odd one out, because all the others can be nouns.
