What is your IQ?

I was once tested at 148, nope I am not kidding

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..

I got 129 on both this test and a real IQ test.

I took a real one a few years ago and scored a 139. I have been considering takeing the Mensa one, maybe i will someday.

Answered randomly, got 130.

'IQ' tests on the internet are all bollocks, when they have the clear goal of trying to make you buy their products which is based on your IQ result, I wouldn't suggest you take the test seriously.

Then again, my guessing ability could have an IQ of 130!

That's funny. I answered every question wrong and got a score of 75

Apparently that makes me:

Your Intellectual Type is Inventive Inquisitor. You have the unusual distinction of being equally good at math and verbal skills. This means you are a creative thinker and are uniquely good at teaching others through experiences. You are also a great improviser and very good at handling change.

What's the score everyone gets on the danish test LegioXXXUlpiaVictrix linked to?

Seems serious (mensa is involved and I suspect that they're quite prideful when it comes to members), but only meassures one type of intelligence.

Did get 138 there.

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.

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.
