Kids
A Twin Parenting Test
by Mark Sanders
A while back, one of our twinstuff.com regulars posted an IQ test in our bulletin board that some of twins and parents of twins took in good fun. But a common complaint (at least it was my excuse for a subpar score) was that twins and parents of twins couldn't relate to any single questions. In fact the test was entirely biased towards singletons, if you ask me.

So Twinstuff now proudly presents the first-ever test specifically geared towards twins and parents of twins. Some of the questions below are true twisters - others are more fun and games than actual brain-teasers. There is no IQ score that will be determined but you'll see the answers after you click on a letter. GOOD LUCK!

Peace

Tranquility

Ochlocracy
