Free IQ Test Web Site Launched For Microsoft Application Users
Fun to use and free, but with a serious purpose in mind, the new ms-iq.com web site from leading training organisation Wise Owl provides an independent assessment of a user’s knowledge of Microsoft applications. Employees of businesses and organisations, or individuals, can gain useful insights into their current abilities and determine if they are a beginner, intermediate or advanced user. The tests also show how good an individual is compared to their peers.
Importantly, there is no registration and the web site gathers no personal data so the user is completely anonymous. Ms-iq.com creator, Andy Brown, founder of Wise Owl Business Solutions, explained, “I wanted people to be able to explore their competitive nature and to help them identify any weakness in their IT skills. Complicated registration procedures and privacy issues often deter people from having a little fun and learning something at the same time.”
Users can choose to test themselves on Excel, Word, Powerpoint and Access. In addition Microsoft Visual Basic programmers can test their skills on Excel macros and Access VBA. Each test comprises 10 to 20 carefully selected multiple choice questions that probe the user’s depth of knowledge.
“As more people take the tests, ms-iq.com will generate some interesting and useful statistics, which we hope to share in the future,” added Andy, “of course human resource and training departments may also find the site a useful tool for assessing relative abilities of job candidates and employees.”
Not often does something fun, free, anonymous and just plain useful come along on the web. If you have a few minutes to spare, test your skills at www.ms-iq.com.

Notes for Editors
Wise Owl was set up in 1992 by Andy and Jenny Brown to provide computer training and systems for businesses.
Andy started life as a programmer/analyst, before joining PricewaterhouseCoopers as a management consultant, specialising in business modelling.
Jenny took her PGCE with the intention of becoming a primary school teacher, and then worked as a computer trainer for C-TEC (then the UK's largest training company).
In 2000 the original founders were joined by David Wakefield (a developer with expertise in the investment, insurance and retail industries), and in 2004 the partnership incorporated.
Wise Owl now employs eight staff. The company is based in Glossop near Manchester, but provides Microsoft training across the UK.
