Yay! The above link features an allegedly 'scientifically accurate' test to measure your iq. Although i defy the integrity of the test and therefore the significance of the result, i took the test and scored 141.

Enjoy!..or don't.

I scored a 115. Good or bad, I really don't care.

I wonder how accurate is a test that has some guy dangling from a cord?

I took it several years ago and got 130.

I am pretty confident I could do better but I don't feel like taking it right now.

Personally it doesn't seem too credible just because real IQ tests are a lot more demanding and thorough.

Well duh, that's because that's the IQ Test For Dummies.

120, as said before, no validity.

Grr...I hate number problems....

Although that one with the which animal doesn't belong was pretty easy. I'm curious how many people actually know the answer to that one, as alot of people I do my Bio degree with wouldn't know that one

Your IQ score is 129

An IQ test should really only involve things that your mind must solve, nothing that you have learned.

Only things like patterns, and geometrical things (rotation), or something logical would really be credible in an IQ test.

Any IQ test that has questions about phrases, math (+,-,*,/) or things that you must learn, so if you have not learned these things you can't take the test accurately.
An ideal IQ test could be taken at any age, because it would just test your mind, and not your knowledge.

I just took it my IQ is 104

Yes, but I.Q. can be increased and decreased depending on the current state of your mind. Mine certainly is not permanent considering I'm only about 14. Stupid kids. But...if you had 80-100 as an adult, you'd be pretty fucking stupid.

By the way: Got 'Insightful Linguist' too.

"Yes, but I.Q. can be increased and decreased depending on the current state of your mind."

That is certainly true, I had this test a few weeks ago and it gave out 141, while today it gave 130, beeing half assleep does interfere something

.

But 80 to 100 is generally considered normal. And yes this test has little value because it is not timed, it has few questions who go from the easiest to relativly difficult very fast.

And IÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´m an alleged Visual Mathematician (level9) good for bossing around

I always think of online tests as slightly bogus... they don't reallys seem like they could have very accurate results.

I took one of those a few days ago and got 106, but a couple years back I took a real one with timer and pencil pictures and all and got 107, I'm positive it's coincedence, but 106 and 107 are pretty interesting.

I think actually anything slightly below 90 is borderline retarded. I could be wrong though.

Whoever said it is right (too lazy to check), IQ tests are a test of the mind's abilities, not knowledge. It is possible for someone to be a genius, but if they're, say, locked in a cave all their entire life they might not know really much of anything like math and reading. But they'd probably learn really fast.

Haha that was a bad analogy.

IQ tests are designed to give you an accurate score that can be applied throughout your entire lifetime. This is why 6 year olds that take the test will get the same score when they're 20, 50, or 80 years old (in theory).
