You can’t buy brains on eBay...

But you CAN buy an IQ Test.

However, the maker of the widely used intelligence tests has a problem with that. Harcourt Assessment, a company based in Texas, is asking eBay not to allow the sale of their tests on their Web site.

Schools commonly use IQ tests to determine if a student should be placed in advanced classes.

Intelligence tests are also ordered by prosecutors and defense attorneys in court to assess the mental competence of criminal defendants. A low IQ can be used to argue for leniency in sentencing.

Harcourt Assessment is concerned that the tests could end up in the wrong hands. They fear that coaching by parents or attorneys might sway results.

IQ tests are not inexpensive. A adult version of the test is currently listed on eBay for $249.99. It normally retails for $939.

Ebay chose not to restrict sales of the tests. Officials there say there is nothing illegal about selling them, and they cannot monitor every possible misuse of items sold through its network of 248 million buyers and sellers.

If you really want to use your brain and you saw my previous posting about buying items at thrift stores to sell on eBay, you’ll find some value in the following video.

This guy is pretty smart!



This one, not so smart...

I wonder which one of these guys should bid on those IQ tests and find someone to coach him?
