Nathan Knipp, Belleville junior,
said he took the tests when he got
bored during his job at the library. He
has taken an IQ test and a purity test.
While he said the results of his IQ test were good — 136, to be exact — Knipp was not convinced he was a genius.
"My grades reflect that I'm not,
he said. "It was complete bull."
David Holmes, professor of psychology, warned that online tests are not scientific.

"Most of them are useless," he said. "There are many good psychological tests, but they are not the type of tests to be released on the Internet."
Even so, she said she didn't think her test results would change her life or the way she lived.

Laura DeVito, Emporia sophomore, has taken several tests, including a purity test, bitch test and a death test. She said the only test that made her stop and think was the death test because she took it on a health Web site, and the test asked fairly important questions.
Most students said they just took the tests for fun.
