每个受试者在测试结束时会得到一个百分比的分数，这个数字和测试题目所示的那种智商分数不一样，拿到高分的人会成为“表情符号达人”。

According to the study, four in 10 people send messages made up entirely of emoji and 18 to 25-year-olds find it easier to express emotions using the symbols.

根据这项研究，40%的受试者可以完全通过表情符号传递信息，研究还发现18—25岁的年轻人更容易使用这些符号表达感情。

More than half of this group admitted emoji has improved their ability to interact with others.

超过一半以上的受试者承认表情符号提高了他们与别人交往的能力。

But for the over 40s the language is lost in translation.

但是，对40岁以上的人来说，用表情符号表达信息有点困难。

More than half (54 per cent) admitted to being confused about what the symbols mean, while a third claimed to have avoided using emoji in text, instant messaging and apps because they lacked the confidence to use them appropriately.

一半以上的人 TalkTalk Mobile teamed up with Vyv Evans, linguistics professor at Bangor University to launch the study and improve understanding of emoji with the 'Emoji IQ' tutorial.

TalkTalk Mobile公司与班戈大学的语言学教授Vyv Evans合作进行了这项“表情符号智商”测试的研究，帮助理解表情符号的意义。
