I took an official IQ test some years back, not one of those sleazy internet ones and managed to score 137... just a hair below genius :shame: :wall: :laugh4:
I was once tested at 148, nope I am not kidding :laugh4: Not going to do the test, I want to believe.
edit: that was 138 by the way.
Since there is different standards, I don`t think there is much use in telling the IQ score, but rather what class you belong in; like the top 1% class, or the 2% class etc..

Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
I useually get between 120-130 doing ENglish tests. wich is quite good I think for someone who doesn't talk English that well.

Your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
Yay!:2thumbsup:

Yes, from wiki:
An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived from a set of standardized tests developed to measure a person's cognitive abilities ("intelligence") in relation to their age group. An IQ test does not measure intelligence the way a ruler measures height (absolutely), but rather the way a race measures speed (relatively).
It's debatable if an IQ test measures intelligence of course, since intelligence is such an abstract concept.
EDIT: 138
Either this test is bullshit or this forum has a unusual amount of 3%.

Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game -- to imagine or anticipate what should happen next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with new ideas and this makes you a Visionary Philosopher.
You also have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns in all sorts of situations, a talent that adds to your visionary philosopher mind.

Like a meticulous collector, you've fed your brain a unique set of facts and figures over the years and this makes you a Facts Curator. Whether or not you intend to absorb every piece of information that comes your way, your mind is a sponge for knowledge.
The words in your head could almost to fill a dictionary, and you're equally adept at manipulating numbers and detecting important patterns in number sequences.
Apparently I've done this before... got lower than usual :S
Anyone payed for the full result?
Edit: Different tests do give diff results, so don't use one result to base your iq on and tell people. actually do the test. One time I got 151, and the site could convert my score to another test site's score: 186 (haha).

indeed. Most people here are smarter then the average person. I mean look at the backroom for example, how many people really folow politics? Or all those history buffs out here. I mean I think it's quite logic to me that most are fairly smart. Or take all the foreigners out here their Enlgish (Me for example) is not always perfect but the "dumber' people don't even know enough English for this.
(I know people who after a few years of english still have difficulties with the meaning of to be and to have.) Tough this might little to extreme.
But anayway I think it's logical that the IQ here is above average. tough an average of 130, or more, seems a bit high.
anyway I had 129 :shame: . I'm 16 and not really good at English, doesn't that increases my "real" IQ? ( fingers crossed)
I had very different results from 105 to 143.
On this test I had 115.
So I don’t really believe in these things.

Not saying that you lot aren't as intellectual as you now think you are (~;)), but I don't think they'll be handing out a great many bad results on this test. See, if they tell you you're not a genius of some kind, you might not really feel inclined to pay money for the "full" report. My take on it anyway - like others here, I'm rather doubtful about these internet tests.

Seems rather high, I too doubt the accuracy of this test.
I haven't bothered with IQ tests in ages, and there's a simple reason -- I was given two of them when I was a kid. The first one said that I was mildly retarded (I think it was in the low 80s). Four years later, I was given a different IQ test, and it said I was a supra-genius (hign 160s). Now, let's leave out whether either of those scores has any relationship to the truth, and let's look at the spread.
That's an 80-point spread. On the same person. Who took the test seriously. What kind of test can show an 80-point spread? Oh, I know, since I'm a mildly-retarded genius -- a messed-up test that isn't measuring accurately.
Do I get extra genius points for figuring that out? Or is my mildly retarded side showing?

I know people who were told by 'professionals' that they couldn't handle a certain level of education in our highschool system, some of them ended up at the top of their year in uni (in engineering, pretty much the most difficult masters you can take). Some people who tested incredibly high at a 'real' IQ test (one guy got 168) have had a lot more trouble keeping up. And it certainly is not that they study less or work less than the 'low IQ people'.
My personal max at and IQ test (internet) is 148, my personal low is 106 (tv test) :dizzy2:. As long as it's math I can score pretty high, but the tv test had a 'visual' intelligence section, if only that would be used to determine IQ I would score 0...

I wondered if someone would try that (deliberately 'tank' the test). Good job Sasaki Kojiro !
Way back in the stone age, when I went to high school, it was the beginning of "Great Society" programs, and urban renewal. I lived in the Detroit ghetto. What those programs meant to individual students was: some kind of 'measuring' test almost every day. Many of us got sick and tired of filling in bubbles and punching holes in IBM cards daily, answering the essentially same types of questions over and over again. We were usually given no feedback on those tests, as they were sent to some compiler "in the sky" somewhere.
My little clique decided to deliberately fail the tests. We got placed in "Independent Study", and tutored by 2nd year uni students (who got paid federal dollars to 'raise up' dumb inner city kids) - they soon caught on that we didn't need the tutoring, but were ignored when they told school admin's. So we worked with them on their uni assignments instead. :laugh4:
What a waste of money and effort. All because of unclear, top-down but never bottom-up communication.
I'll see if I can beat your 75 score.
edit: It was being kind, merely saying my score was below 79. LoL.
p.s. I took the second, 'no sign-up necessary' test.

Aren't real IQ tests timed? I seem to recall a televised IQ test some time ago, in which various groups of people (representative of particular societal classes) were tested. Audience members at home were invited to participate in the test. The amount of time given for each question was rather limited, and some of the questions were quite hard (compared with what's found on a Tickle test).
With these online tests, you can think about each question for as long as you want. That alone probably artificially inflates scores.
Rodion Romanovich
03-13-2006, 16:57
Some examples of why I don't believe IQ tests measure your practical intelligence (all the questions are taken from existing IQ tests):
1. John likes 400 but not 300; he likes 100 but not 99; he likes 3600 but not 3700. Which does he like? a. 900 b. 1000 c. 1100 d.1200
Answer1: a. 900, because it's the square of an integer, unlike the other numbers
Answer2: b&c, 1000 and 900 - because the sum of the digits comprising these numbers is the square of an integer, unlike with 1100 and 1200.
Answer3: a. 900, because the factorization of the ones he dislike contain at least one prime factor which only occurs once in the factorization.
Answer4: b. 1000, because it's a common number when dealing with metric systems, like the others John liked. 400 is the number of degrees in the newer military system for measuring angles, 100 is the number of centimeters per meter, and 3600 is the number of seconds per hour. 1000 is used in many cases such as 1 kg = 1000 g, etc., while 900, 1100 and 1200 aren't used in any common metric systems.
Test maker's answer: a, nothing else is considered correct
2. Which one doesn't belong? a. Apple, b. Orange, c. Banana, d. Tomato (there were pictures on all of them next to the question)
Answer1: d. Obviously the tomato, because it's a vegetable, the others being fruits
Answer2: c. Obviously the banana, because all others are almost spherical
Answer3: a. Obviously the apple, because it's got a so-called "temperate color" (blue or green) while the others have "hot colors" (red or yellow).
Answer4: x, because the x in picture x wasn't ripe while the others were ripe
Test maker's answer: d, nothing else considered correct.
All that is tested is whether you think the same way as the maker of the test. Often more knowledge about a subject often also decreases your ability to answer the questions. Looking at question2, for example an expert at biology would claim that there's no biological difference between vegetables and fruits, which would immediately make him/her consider d an impossible answer. There's also no need to motivate your answers in the IQ tests, which means it's impossible to tell whether the answer was really the result of intelligence or just a guess, or some stupid way of thinking, that for some reason happened to lead to the same result. What's more, it's possible to increase your intelligence by practising at IQ tests. I improved my score by 50 after practising for a few hours, and this was when I was 10 years old. Typically I now when making these tests see around at least 3 possible systems, often all of them resulting in different answers, for each question. What checkbox do I check in those cases? I think these Mensa and others who create IQ tests are a fraud. That said, a good score is never a bad thing...</END RANT>

As a 14-year-old I got 148 on one of these things, putting me at about 170 once the age is taken into account. However, all this proves is that I am good at taking IQ tests. Not that I'm "intelligent" (since no-one can really agree on what that is, anyway), just that I am good at taking that particular test.

Your IQ score is 150!
Visionary Philosopher
Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game -- to imagine or anticipate what should happen next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with new ideas and this makes you a Visionary Philosopher.
You also have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns in all sorts of situations, a talent that adds to your visionary philosopher mind.
WOW!!!
At times high intelligence can, just like great knowledge of the subejct, be a problem in the tests.
When you are used to dealing with problems that demand the best of you, and you are pretty intelligent, you can get very confused when you are asked something very simple (yet not too simple). You often end up thinking "is this some kind of trickquestion?" Seeking out various hidden clues or special connections between the options and so on. In the end most people will come to the conclusion it is not a trick, but time has been spent unwisely on something you should have skimmed past.
I have in fact failed an exam to this (my teacher finally told me not to overcomplicate things when he had looked at my results).
In any case tests like these are limited. They take into account geometric understanding, math and linguistics, but they lack to take into account many other aspects. I wouldn't say that musical and emotional intelligence can be measured in any other way than conversations or lengthy exposure, so I think it is unfair to demand this from a written test.
Btw, I got 135. Visual Math.
While it is getting to be a cliche here, that is actually pretty much what I have gotten previously. At 16 I got that exact number, got 137 a few years later, at the military tests the little board of people uttered a little 'wow' and nodded with smiles when they went over my record (though in the physical department they basically ignored me). I never got the test back, forgot to ask. Later still, a few years ago I took another that put me yet again in 135.
So I'm pretty certain that that is where I must be when it comes to these kind of things.
I think half the problem here is that people are very intelligent here, and as such these bogus tests only confirm people in what they already knew. "Hey I got the same as I got before. I'll tell my buddies." Then these buddies who are less intelligent will score almost similar levels, where the results are truly crap.
Fluctuating results over a lengthy period, especially growing up, are very much possible. If the intellect is not stimulated it can stagnate, and your percieved intelligence will drop. It can get up again though.
And I believe that all people have a certain intelligence-slack they can firm up with the proper stimuli. Think that 90 is the lowest possible score for person X while 125 is the highest possible, but in normal conditions he/she will get 110.
This is confirmed (for me) in the fact that in Japan they have an average intelligence of about 110, where the rest of us have it about 100 (logically). I don't think Japanese are more intelligent than the rest of the world, they are just better suited to these tests due to their schools and the stimuli they get.

Your IQ score is 209!
Visionary Philosopher
Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game -- to imagine or anticipate what should happen next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with new ideas and this makes you a Visionary Philosopher.
You also have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns in all sorts of situations, a talent that adds to your visionary philosopher mind.
*GASP!*

R'as al-Ghul: the Emotional Intelligence is measured by EQ, not IQ. I doubt that that's anywhere near to accurate though...

For what I know in psychology intelligence is measurable, or at least formalized, it's called G Factor. Beyond that, did you prove the second test (the one on the quote in my post above), it gives you 40 minutes to solve 38 exercises I believe, the last twenty can be real hard, or perhaps it's just my weak mind. :inquisitive:
Look at this way: IQ tests are supposed to measure your basic intelligence, right?
It has nothing to do with education, right?
So, you should be able to give these tests to anybody in the world and measure their quotients by it, right?
No, that's where these tests run into trouble. They are based on the assumption that those geometrical forms etc. have a meaning to us. In most cases they do but not always. A member of any aboriginal (sp) tribe, who hasn't had too much contact with civilisation, won't know what you want. You don't even need to go to extremes. There're many people who don't relate much with the test-exercises. There're others, who by education or practice relate a lot to them.
Just look at Lemur's post and try to explain the spread in the results.
Those tests are nice to have fun with, but shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Don't judge yourself by a number, that wouldn't be intelligent.
And look at those pathetic supposed elitist IQ clubs. :laugh4:
Do you want to be a part of them?

So they measure that also today? :wall:

EQ is for those who have no decent IQ and get all emotional about it.

ROTFLMFAO Geoffrey!
I normally take the Internet IQ tests quickly and score differently every time - the variance is a low of 127 and a high of 139.
Years ago I was my IQ was tested in school and the score was 129, taken in the 2nd Grade at age 8. Timed and structured test.
However IQ tests are meaningless, unless you have the common sense to apply your intelligence.

139---Your Intellectual Type is Precision Processor. This means you're exceptionally good at discovering quick solutions to problems, especially ones that involve math or logic. You're also resourceful and able to think on your feet. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
There are so many variables tho, I've never really put much weight in IQ tests, and certainly not in internet ones.
