A friend sent me this really fun game that tests your travel IQ. Considering I spent almost a decade in the travel industry I should do very well at this.
The game not only checks to see if you know what state various cities are located, it also gives you points on how close you can actually pinpoint them on the map and how quickly you can do it.
I scored just over 12,300 my first time.
Not sure if I am or not, what did you score?
Traveler IQ Challenge from TravelPod.com
i scored 548000 IQ 130 ILOVE this game.
Say, how do I get the application to put on my website? I have a tour business that it might be interesting on my website…K
This game is not so much difficult as it is ruthlessly conservative about awarding points. I scored 454,000 points or so on my first try (just falling short of the 500,000 points needed to win) and my Traveler IQ was only 119! Given the geography knowledge of the average Internet user, I expected myself to be much more of an outlier! This game needs to be more realistic with its bell curve! If you beat this game, you are definitely AT LEAST 1 in 100 when it comes to world geography knowledge. That’s a Traveler IQ of about 135. The gentleman above me who scored almost 550,000 ought to have an IQ around 140….And a score of 450,000 like mine deserves more than 119. Try 125.
