The other 24 items, Verbal Analogies, appear on this site as a separate test. The 24 spatial and numerical problems that constitute this test are the second half of the Brainbreaker test. The publication later went out of print, and the Brainbreaker disappeared into obscurity. The Brainbreaker, the other test, was published in 1985, along with its answers, and so was no longer usable as an admissions test for high IQ groups (the Mega Test was still used for admissions until around 2000). One test became the famous Mega Test, which was published in Omni Magazine in April 1985. The 100 Item Test was later split into 2 48 item tests (with 4 problems discarded). The Brainbreaker, like the Mega Test, is believed to measure intellectual ability above the 99.9999th percentile, which is one person in a million.Īround 1980, Hoeflin circulated a "100 Item Test" among members of some high IQ societies, and obtained normative data through people taking the test.
The Brainbreaker had been out of circulation for over 20 years, but we recently acquired all rights to it from Dr. Sununu, then governor of New Hampshire and later Chief of Staff under President Bush, with both individuals achieving extremely high scores on the Mega. The Mega Test has been taken by thousands of people, including Marilyn Savant of Parade Magazine fame, and John H.
Hoeflin, Ph.D., and are taken from the "Brainbreaker," the "other half" of the famous Mega Test. These 24 spatial and numerical problems were created by Ronald K.
