What’s Your CZ IQ?

Can you identify this mystery fish found on an old postcard?

I know, I know. The above photo is still a mystery, but how about some easier questions?
What’s your Cryptozoology IQ? Okay, a couple questions are about aliens, but, overall, this is a good quick automated quiz to see how you rate.
Take the short quiz on the FunTrivia.com site here.
How did you do? (BTW, I will delete your comment if you give away any answers. That is just no fun for anyone else coming after you.)
I got a perfect 10 out of 10, but then, if I didn’t, I figure I won’t deserve to be your tour guide on your journey into the cryptozoological world here at Cryptomundo. LOL.
Meanwhile, this one is still a mystery:

I got 9 out of 10. I’m a little embarrassed.
3 out of 10 would have made me happy. I Know Too Much.
8 out of 10! Woohoo!
10 out of 10…I need a life
I got a 10/10..
However…I am very good at taking multiple choice tests. Took many of these while at University.
So I think that if one wants a truer testing of knowledge of cryptozoology, is have a 50 question multiple choice, and that might have some more validity. 10 doesn’t quite do it.
Got 9 out of 10. Number 10 threw me.
Yes, a longer test would logically be a more valid indicator. Of course, who has the time? And their software was already in place with these ten.
I might take the questions used in my FAQ survey, pick out the best ones, and develop a good 100 multiple choice test. The answers, formatted with an elaboration of the correct ones, would serve two purposes – a quiz and a set of frequently asked questions answered!
I got a 10/10. Being an armchair cryptozoologist has it’s advantages.
A humiliating 8 out of 10. I submit that UFOlogy and Cryptozoology are separate disciplines and the two questions I buggered ought not to have been there in the first place.
Just my two cents.
9/10.
Not to say I don’t know as much about ufology as I do cryptozoology but I second guessed myself and picked the wrong name.
Do I lose my nerd privileges now?
I agree with a growing trend here. Ufological questions have no place in a cryptozoology quiz.
Boo – I got 9.
Right, Loren. I thought the same thing. I felt the one about UFOs was a little odd on a cryptozoology test. Trick question!
I got eight out of ten
10 out of 10. I agree, ufology is a different subject than cryptozoology and doesn’t belong on that quiz
9/10
I gave up on UFOolgy some years ago and don’t mix the two – sort of like mixing cheap warm beer (UFOs) with a fine Scotch ( Nessie , et al ).
10 of 10 ~ Piece of pie!
Well, I got a 9/10, but I will agree on two points stated above. Ufology has no business being in a cryptozoological test. The other point is the one stated by captainnemo. Bigfoot and sasquatch have been associated with ufo sightings. So there are actually 3 answers to that question.
10 out of 10. and I don’t know that much about UFO.
I got a 10 out of 10.
This Trivia Quiz is entitled: “Monsters And Other Wild Creatures”, so I think alien questions are acceptable in that vein.
10 out of 10.
9/10. I like your idea of using selected questions from your FAQ survey for a more elaborate and challenging quiz.
10/10 – but I pretty much guessed on the last one.
10 out of 10.
9 out of 10
10/10… all to easy
8/10, agreeing with the points raised by elsanto.
8/10
You scored: 8 / 10
Total points: 80
The average score for this quiz: 7 / 10
Whoo, yeah!
9/10,
I got 10/10 but one I had to guess at and another was a close call. The majority of the questions are must knows if you frequent this and other sites like this.
10/10
10/10 – Woo Hoo!
I got 8/10. Considering the two I missed were UFO questions, I don’t feel bad.
10/10.. although a couple of those guesses were pure luck.
I got 9 out of 10, which surprised me. The only one I missed was UFO related, so I guess that’s not too bad.
You give an answer, your comment will be deleted. Thank you.
8 out of 10, just 2 of the ufo ones. I think I’m slipping on the world of ufos.
8/10.
10/10.
OK- 9 out of 10.
7 out of 10-
I’m the worst so far…
10 of 10. Definitely with several correct guesses though.
9/10. I’m a little rusty on the ufo subject.
Perfect 10 on this one too. Thanks, Loren.
9/10 but must admit I had to guess the last one. Good fun, Loren, thanks!
8 out of 10…who wants to be perfect anyway…leaves room for learning even it was the UFO stuff, not my favorite though I know a bit…grew up when Betty and Barney were heavy in the news…
8 out of 10. Missed #7 and #10 (they were both guesses).
10 out of 10. Geez, I wish I had done this well on my SATs.
10 out of 10, but I did guess on one…..but hey I got it right…….LOL
10 out of ten, the simplest for me being the cryptozoology and the ufology ones.
You scored: 6 / 10
I guess that isn’t so bad
I got a nine out of ten and I am damn proud of myself
I got 5 out of 10 but I’m only 14 and I’ve only started looking into cryptozoology…dude this stuff is kewl…. ^_^ *stares at her score and starts studying* I will pass the test next time….I will pass the test next time….I will pass the test next time….I will pass the test next time….
Something tells me the “mystery fish” is a hideously overgrown Sturgeon. They keep growing until they die, so if that was, say, 145 years old, it might be that big. Look it up.
10 out of 10
i need a life
9/10, last one threw me off since my expertise is in monsters, not aliens.
As for the fish, it looks like a gigantor hybrid between a minnow and a lungfish. I have no idea how that popped into my head.
I got 9/10. Number 7 was really unfair. UFOs/Aliens aren’t cryptozoological.
