This IQ test is trying to be fair to as many people possible. As long as a person understands the idea behind multiple-choice questions, no one should have a upper hand. There were no verbal questions, which is good because I'm crap at those.
I would think that a real IQ test wouldn't be multiple choice at all. Maybe a 1 on 1 setting.... I wouldn't worry about the 23 points. This test is not perfect. On some questions, it is easy to understand the pattern and still pick the wrong answer. Also, I think fatigue plays a huge role.
