Actually, the Barnum effect specifically refers to personality tests. It has nothing to do with IQ or knowledge tests, don't know where you got that from.
Sorry, I wasn't talking about the Barnum effect, just saying that I don't trust IQ tests because they vary with time, practice, and knowledge. Basically just saying that I don't usually pay any attention to any sorts of internet tests because I see them as being like horoscopes, but that this seemed type seemed more reliable. We had to do one like this at college and my result was pretty much exactly the same.
