If I am honest on an IQ test I do pretty well, around 170-175, but if I decide to give answers that I know the test "wants" I get insanely high scores.

Both tests are the same in this respect.

Someone may have an aptitude that has nothing to do with their general knowlege... it is a ridiculous idea.
maybe i didnt understand what you meant by honest.
