The Ultimate IQ Test (http://www.emode.com/tests/uiq/authorize/register.jsp?url=/tests/uiq/index.jsp)

Ever wondered what your IQ is? Take the IQ test. It's free, but you do have to register (email address & a name(I just typed a bunch of*&@!#%!@, except for one of my many email addresses)). I hate spam!

This test is supposed to be one of the most thorough IQ tests on the web. <img src="http://www.coreyburton.com/images/dis_tv_ludwig.gif">

I scored pretty decently, with an IQ of 133. Maybe I would have done better, but I had only 1/2 an hour at lunchtime to do the test.

Duh.

127

Damn! I thought I was smarter than that :)

Just to feed the conciet :)

Heres a chart that shows what percent of people are dumber than you :)

Actually, 127 is quite good.

I remember reading somewhere that 100 is considered to be average intelligence, while 140 is considered to be genious.

Yes Aussie. Okay, I'll be the one to point it out.

Almost every single one of the internet IQ tests gives EVERY single person a huge score. Why? They're easy. Example - one test gave four members on the board over 180.

Here's a test if you want to see a relatively accurate (in my opinion) one:

You must select the Ultimate IQ Test - otherwise your score is not actually an IQ.

Here's a test if you want to see a relatively accurate (in my opinion) one:


126 on that one. Im attributeing my drop in score to the fact that its late and ive been up too long :)

That one has a lot more pattern recognition, something I always have trouble with, thats tougher than the first I think.

Watch everyone score higher than the average in this forum, practically EVERYONE.

IQ doesn't mean much. Just as long as you are over the norm. The rest is:

Potential
Perspiration
Realization/attitude
Innovativeness/creativity
Imagination

IQ and SAT mean something, but not much, our experiences shape us, make us intelligent, not doing good on some little 2 hour test.

He-he-hey!

I am a visionary philospher!

I really like that test. :) :) :)

"Watch everyone score higher than the average in this forum, practically EVERYONE."

Yup. Sciforums has seen many IQ tests come along. I think I've seen one person say they got within even the higher end of teh average zone. A lot of the tests produced multiple people with IQs above 170.

Thanks ... Sixty bucks lighter and another board to visit.

Makes me wonder now what my IQ was back in '58. Oh well.

Wondering too how they'll stack up against Sciforums.

Take care ;)

I think this one is way too easy. Someone has posted this already actually. I only got 132 last time when I did it quickly and did everything on my head. The second time I write everything down on a piece of paper, draw pictures, and took my time, I got 156. :D

That's impossible to have so many "genuises" here.

Every single forum I have visited had people scoring over the average IQ's, all genuises

Amazing eh? Either the test(s) are shit or people love to lie. :) But I think it is both.

So what about IQ? Chosen is right. What really matters is your burning desire to excel. The rage and hunger and motivation for victory. The need to win.

That gets people farther than any IQ. You only need enough IQ to not be retarded (and even if you are retarded, you will still get somewhere).

Unless we learn more about the functions of the brain, we will not be able to accurately measure intelligence. The brain seems to be far more complex than the score some random test pastes to it. Ever heard of idiot savants? Would you consider them stupid, just because of IQ? What about their outstanding, extraordinary abilities? And, people with low IQ but with good artistic abilities should be considered intelligent.

Exactly! It's about time that people realize paper and pencil are not the only way to demonstrate intelligence; it's just that this method has been so ingrained into us as a left-brain society. Statistics show that most of the teens that drop out of school are highly intelligent, but cannot conform to the structure. Therefore, they appear dumber, so they lose the will to continue their education. It's sad, really, letting our creative population getting sucked down the drain like that.

lol 111 im pretty stupid

111 is a little above average.

i got a 129. these always score higher than they really are i think.... cuz if 100 is average/intelligent, theres now way im that high. lol...

131. What is a good score?

156, and I guessed on like a third of them. :rolleyes:

It's bullshit.

Do the test I linked to lion. And a good score on that one is about 118. It's not exactly accurate (the test I linked), but it's hte best I've found. What you got on the test you already took means nothing

That's the one I took (I hate registering, so I didn't do the first one.) Let me tell you I'm not "exceptionally gifted". I think these online tests are a bunch of crap. In fact, that test you linked to told me I was eligible to join their society, which would cost me like 60 bucks per year. LOL

Congratulations, you're smart enough to give us your money! :p

Took the test a few days ago, accepted, kicked in my shekels,
moseyed around. Came to a couple of conclusions:

1. Not as restrictive as Mensa (upper 5%);
2. Interesting, polite 'conversations'. but rather
....mundane;
3. Not as intellectually challenging as the 'science'
....threads at Sciforums;
4. A place to drop in, but not spend too much time.

I guess my initial, very initial, impression is: The IQ
equivalent to a 'vanity press' ... For what it's worth.

Take care ;)

What was your score, do you remember?

Like I said, it's not accurate, it's just hte best I've found so far.

I plea senility ... :D :D :D

But, accepted by Mensa almost fifty years ago and, for what
it's worth, tested within three points of my score back then.

Yeah, I know ... The older you get etc. etc. ... I guess the tests
aren't that accurate in the 160+ range.

POI* Scored higher on the IHIQS bit (dug out the old records).

Take care ;)

*Edit for typo*

Im just wondering, does age have to do with anything. Im 15 and I got a score of 131.

Both tests tell me I'm smart enough not to post the results :)

I have an IQ of 307.

I got 135 and "Visual Mathematician" on the emode test. Weird, since i'm better at verbal stuff than math. Of course not many tests check the visual-spatial stuff it talks about. *shrug*

On the High IQ society one i got 141, i guessed on several, and took a long time on several others. Now, i must sleep. Why i felt inclined to take these tests this late is a mystery... hehe :)

I got 129, but im going to put that down to the fact I just finished writing an essay and im tired, not to mention the fact i didnt take it seriously at all. When I studied psychology at school i learnt that IQ test cant accurately tell how smart you are.

Anyway the last one I did, i got a score of 147 and that was another internet based one.

Chagur,

I saw you posting at the IHIQS this morning, and you mentioned this forum, so I decided to give it a gander. I must say I do like it. There are some very knowledgeable people over here.

I noticed you stated over here in this thread that the IHIQS is full of "mundane" conversation. Well, for the most part, the forums over there are mundane and boring (can't deny it, especially lately), but the message board is a bit better usually. You happened to join at a bad time, dude. In the last month few of the "power hitters" have been posting. The conversation has been unusually mundane lately. (There have been many out of control ad hom arguments over there lately that have resulted in a lot of hard feelings, which resulted in some of the better posters taking a temporary leave). For some reason, IQ societies have traditionally been filled with big egos (I wonder why), which result in very nasty personal attacks between posters.

There are some mega smart individuals over there though. Nathan (the president) has a legit supervised Weschler IQ of 162. A couple of the other "power hitters" have supervised 150+ IQ's. There are several individuals with legit 160-170 IQ's over there as well. There are a couple of interesting PhDs in various fields, and a few very talented writers. If you can sort through all of those kids who barely got in, and who love to discuss the weather and their love lives, then you will see that there is indeed some worthwhile convo over there. (Hint: Check out the old threads in the philosophy, Physics, and History forums. Plus, check out the Message Board archives)

Also, someone here said that you must pay $60 a year. Not true. The fee is $60 for a lifetime. IHIQS used to be free, but after Nathan pumped $600,000 of his own cash into the project, he has had to start charging. I don't blame him. One thing I can say out of sincere honesty, is that IHIQS is not intended to be a lame society that feeds on egos and exaggerates IQ scores just to make money. I have been around there long enough to realize that this isn't the case. Nathan takes his tests very seriously and has had a committee of people design them and look at the norms.

As for all the skeptics of online IQ testing here, I would generally agree with you 90% of the time. Most tests are bullshit, plain and simple (especially IQtester.com and some others that make you pay for your score). A general rule of thumb on these online tests; if you can guess and still score well above average, then chances are that the test in question is bullshit just planted to make a buck. However, I do feel that there are 2 or 3 online tests that will usually generate a score within 5 points of a supervised score. Most of those tests can be found as IHIQS entrance tests at the IHIQS home page. The Ultimate test has to be one of the best tests online. This test has been normed against several hundred thousand people in a span of several years. 7% of those who take it score high enough to join the IHIQS. The cut-off for IHIQS is the top 5%, but considering that most people who attempt the tests are going to be a bit above average, then the 7% pass rate is about right. (60% of people who take the Mensa test pass, even though Mensa is the for top 2%. This should illustrate my point.)

So, it is of no shock to me that most people in this thread who have taken the Ultimate test have scored above 120. Your average, run of the mill, factory worker or farmer simply would not visit this forum nor take online IQ tests (not to say that there aren't brilliant farmers or factory workers.) I bet very few people who post in this forum are of average IQ. The collective IQ here is probably well above average. Why do these 120+ scores shock the skeptics in this thread? Some of you act like that just because everyone here has scored above 120 that this means the test is BS. I can assure you, most people who take that test score near the average IQ of 100. Now, if you say that some tests have scored many people here at 170 and 180+, then yeah, I would be very skeptical of that myself. I doubt there is anyone here with a true 170 IQ (maybe one or two, but doubtful)

Anyway, sorry for the length of this post (it has gotten out of hand), so I will shut up now. I encourage anyone who wants a good alternative forum (that isn't strictly science related) to give IHIQS a shot. I am sure most of you can pass the tests, and if you can afford a one time $60 fee, I think many of you will like it; if nothing else but to make friends in your local area. I don't work for the iHIQS, and I don't really care if anyone joins or not. I can just say that I am a member of 6 IQ societies and none even comes close to the IHIQS.

This forums looks very good too, and I hope to hang around and learn something.

Welcome to this neck of the woods.

Thanks for the fill-in on IHIQS.

As you are aware, I have stuck around (popping in every so often)
so it isn't the turn-off that some of the forums I've dropped in on
have been. Thing of it is that, in my opinion, Sciforums sets a
pretty high standard though I will admit there is a bit more of the
mundane around than there used to be. Maybe there's a virus going
around? Who knows.

??????? Where have all the 'crazies' gone ???????
(to the tune of 'Where have all the flowers gone?)

Take care and enjoy ;)

:cool: Ha ha! I've done 3 IQ Tests so far that show my IQ is is between 151-161! I'm only 12 years old!:cool:

Being 12 would actually be an aid for getting a high IQ.

I assume you're talking about tests online. Online tests are remarkably simple. The questions are similar to the types on a real IQ test, just really easy. And your IQ score is relative to your age. If I answered the same amount of questions right as you did my score would read about 120 when yours read 160. And since these tests are so simplistic anyone could do them, it's not too hard to get 160/

"Being 12 would actually be an aid for getting a high IQ. "

It doesn't work that way. Most IQ tests these days are on the deviation scales, rather than ratio. If he indeed took an online test, then it would be tougher for him to score 160 than it would for someone over 16. The online tests are usually normed for adults, not children. Professional tests are administered according to age. If you are under 16, you take a child test, above 16, you take the adult test.

"I assume you're talking about tests online. Online tests are remarkably simple."

Online tests are really not anymore simple than are professional tests. Have you ever taken a professional test from a psychologist? Most online tests are simple because of the fact that they are purposely designed to inflate scores. (There are som honest online tests out there however, and the accuracy of the score just depends on if the unsupervised participant adheres to the rules a la no help from others.)

"The questions are similar to the types on a real IQ test, just really easy. "

I dunno about that. In some cases perhaps. But there are some IQ tests online that have been normed by PhD's and were designed to be extremely difficult. Have you ever heard of Ron Hoeflin's "Mega Test"?

"It doesn't work that way. Most IQ tests these days are on the deviation scales, rather than ratio.

Professional tests are administered according to age. If you are under 16, you take a child test, above 16, you take the adult test."

Look at the IQ test posted in this thread originally and you'll notice there's little difference between adult and child tests online.


"Online tests are really not anymore simple than are professional tests. Have you ever taken a professional test from a psychologist?"

Yes sir. Twice. As requested by my second elementary school and my junior high school.


"Most online tests are simple because of the fact that they are purposely designed to inflate scores."

Yuuuuuup.


"I dunno about that. In some cases perhaps. But there are some IQ tests online that have been normed by PhD's and were designed to be extremely difficult. Have you ever heard of Ron Hoeflin's "Mega Test"?"

Can't say I have, actually.

I have never taken an IQ test
duno why-
I think it is because I a little bit fear of the results:D (not that I'm stupid) and that I generally don't believe in them.

In order to measure your intelligence you have to do tests in various fields, not just those witty or math questions.

Can they measure my abillity to adopt to new situations (although this may not be reffered to as intelligence), ability to learn new stuff, memory, etc etc

I just think that these tests are too simple to actually measure ones intelligence.

and of course there comes the fact that I hate to be put in some particular category;)

I had to take one at school only a few moths ago, to get into certain classes, and mine was 163. It was like 120 questions long and took 1 1/4 hours, so hopefully it was prettty acurate.

Beren, which test did you take? 163 is extremely high, but it depends on the test.

ok well on the first one that test sucks um im 14 i dont think my iq is 170. the second one i now have a dislike of bright geometrical shapes it was 110.

all IQ tests will score the average user high (especially those like emode) in order to flatter you to get a membership so they can flatter you more. lol.

Deja Vu:.. hehe... thats the name of a well-known strip club where im from...

"all IQ tests will score the average user high (especially those like emode) in order to flatter you to get a membership so they can flatter you more. lol."

Emode offers membership to what? There is no membership with Emode.

And as for the strip club, yeah, I have been to Deja vu strip clubs before. They are a nationwide chain. Everyone tells me "Oh Deja vu, thats a strip club". The women are sizzlin', but the lap dances suck. ;)

And no, my handle was not intended to signify the club.

they're nation wide? never knew that. and.. for the record.. i think the dances are just fine.

as for emode.. i took a test.. and this is the part i was talking about....
"See your responses and get the correct answers to every test question. Order your True Talent Report for only $14.95 now."
They aren't going to expect you to be interested if your summary results say, "You're dumb as rocks, give up." LOL

I'm madder than a math teacher with a broken slide rule over this idiotic, brain warping IQ test that I've been reading about!

This whole idea of folding up boxes and figuring out what number comes next has been getting my goat every since I took this stupid test!

I know how to fold up a box, for petes sake! And anybody who can count knows that 65 comes after 64. Trust me, I've been there and I'm 72 now. I know damn well that 73 comes next. I feel it everytime I wake up in the morning!

This test reminds me of those tests that psychologists give to crazy people. You know what I mean--ink blots and square pegs in round holes.

And let me tell you: a mule doesn't look anything like a kangaroo or a cow! I lived on a farm, buster. I know the difference. And a hand in a glove is just the same as putting your foot in the ass of a politician!

It's no wonder that why there are so many crazy people who are in charge of things today. My editor scored 155 and that proves it! Everyone at Weekly World News knows he's nuts.

:mad: Ed Anger is not "intellectually challenged!"

Besides, as long as my IQ is higher than my age, then I'm always improving.

I'm not exactly sure what the name of it was, but it was offered from Berkley.
And Tetris is also a Communist plot to destroy our lives.

Your IQ score is 124 . crap! i am quite pleased with the score but the test doesnt measure iq anyway! p.s i have done that test before but it was months ago. i think i got just over 100 then :mad: lol ......we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Precision Processor. oh really! pmsl :rolleyes: thank u for that. i wonder if everyone is a precision processor? Ha ha! I've done 3 IQ Tests so far that show my IQ is is between 151-161! I'm only 12 years old! geek! lol (only joking. good for u.) I am a visionary philospher! i am too! lol :D Like Plato, your mind's strengths allow you to........... lmfao :p yeah right. like i said. they dont measure iq (in my opinion.) The one about the cars driving in different directions requires knowlede about working out the length of a side going on the length of the other sides and angles (triangles, trigonometry etc) etc. this comes from education. I u have been told that then u can get the answer correct but it doesnt make u clever because u didnt work it out. U had already been told how to do it. Someone who has not been educated in this way would not be able to work out the answer but it doesnt make them any less clever. These tests try to prove that. Well they dont prove anything (again, in my opinion).

Calling any of those tests an "I.Q." test is a misnomer as all they can ever be is an aptitude test. Each of those "I.Q." tests is based on a perceived education for the majority of the society, which live in cities. Someone who is not educated by the same academic standards, as were the designers of the tests, would tend to score lower than someone who is educated within a comparative academic framework as were the designers of the test.

For an "I.Q." test to be a real measure of intelligence, each test would have to be designed for a specific individual based on the individuals entire life's learning to date, which would include academic and non-academic learning. Taking any other kind of "I.Q." test can only be for stroking your ego or pigeon-holing you within the academic/industrial segment of society.

2. Overall, quite polite but not as mundane lately;
3. I'd have to say almost a toss-up, with Sciforums still having an

4. A place to drop in and spend some enjoyable time.

As for the 'vanity press' analogy, forget it; thar be some meat on
those bones. For what it's worth.

Take care.

i have 118. I have taken many different tests....Emode gave me 118, i did one with the bbc and got 118 and i took a third one elsewhere (i forgot where) and got 150. So i reckon i have an iq of 118!

I haven't taken any of the abovementioned tests but did the
following:

- European IQ Test
- Queendom Test

I scored 151 on the European and 130 / 150 on the Queendom
test. I have no doubts that the scores are inflated, but by how
much ? Has anyone else taken them or have a clue how valid
they are ?

Thank you for your time...

Solidus,

Well no IQ test online is going to be 100% as worthy as a professionally administered one, however I do feel like there are several that do a fairly good job and will report to you a score about 5 points give or take from a supervised score.

For the best tests, try www.highiqsociety.org

Once there, take the "Ultimate test". There is no time limit, but if you want the score to be as accurate as possible, try to keep the time you take to below 1 1/2 hours (the average time spent on the test). All of the tests there are good.

Regards

i took that ultimate iq test at www.highiqsociety.org
.. adn they gave me the sad -sniffs- news that im too dumb to become a member. lol... but i was close!!!

Your score is: 122
http://www.highiqsociety.org/common/iqtests/nopass.gif

Too dumb to become a member? No way!.

Most likely just too tense.

Suggest that you consider sex, either copulative or masturbatory,
just prior to taking the test again. It'll most likely hike your score
an easy ten or more points and you'll be in.

Take care :cool: :D :cool: ;)

Well, I scored 140 on their test, which means I can be a member.

I think I'll become a member for the obvious benefit:

- looks good on a resume :D


If Mensa accepts that test and the result as valid, it's a twofer.

;)

Solidus,

Sure go ahead and join. But beware, most people aren't as familiar with IHIQS as Mensa. Mensa will always probably be king of the IQ societies (even though there are many that are much more exclusive). #1, Mensa has been around since 46', and #2 it's cut-off is top 2% instead of top 5%. #3 Mensa only accepts supervised testing.

Any test you take online will not be accepted into Mensa. The IHIQS, according to their president, is just a forum for communication. He isn't really that anal about "cheaters" getting in etc.. People who cheat to get in, or take the tests over and over until they pass usually find that they don't fit in with the discussion there and promptly leave.

The sciforums are even worse than the IHIQS about that, for it seems that if you don't hold a PhD in physics or math from Cal Tech, you will be prostrated in this joint. ;)

Deja,

It's not that bad over here, but a joint sometimes does help. ;)

Take care.

Heh.

Alrighty... I think I'll like it here.

;)

I will say one thing for the emode results though; 74% of Precision Processors say their body's silhouette most resembles a sleek jaguar instead of a squishy slug. !!!!!!! This is very true. Before i even read this, on a chat room i actually had a photo of a jaguar (or leopard. whatever) for my picture!! *gasp* lol :D

Woohoo!! 133!:) i am allowed to join (at only $59.95 :rolleyes: lol) i dont think so lol. This was on the 5 minute test though i must add. I couldnt be bothered doing the long one. Got part way through and gave up. :rolleyes: :o :p :D

158 (a different IQ test tho), but yes, a bit of guesswork. it said Madonna scored 140 so it must be bullshit.

Bent,

Actually Madonna does have an IQ of 140. She seems to flaunt this almost as much as Sharon Stone flaunted Mensa membership (come to find out Sharon never was a member, according to Mensa). Madonna's IQ of 140 was not recorded on some internet test, either. It was supervised. Scary huh? Actually if you think about her career, a 140 IQ does make sense. She isn't stupid by any means.

regards

intelligence has nothing to do with success. you can choose to lead the life of a whore in a capitalist gangbang, or you can choose otherwise.

IQ isn't everything! I can tell you this because I was tested back when I was in junior high at 148 and then again a few years back and had dropped to 146. I have done nothing with my life of any real value other than work in my dad's wrecking yard. I love to read about science and politics but have done nothing other than read. I didn't do anything much in school except cut class and stare out the window.

I was told that I was in the top 2% and that I should be putting it to use. Well schools and parents should allow you to move ahead and not hold you back because "it would be a difficult adjustment"

Well enough bitching, I am planning on going to college now that I'm in my thirties. Dad has finally retired and no longer needs me. I can't wait!!!!! Yahoo FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!

I kind of lost my point....ha ha ha! The point was use what you've got and make the best of it no matter what or how long it takes!!!!!

Agree whole heartedly.

One of the brightest guys I've had the good fortune to know
worked as a battery assembler ... He composed, and published,
beautiful poetry in his native tongue (Russian).

Was he a 'failure'? I don't think so.

Take care :cool:

in the IHIQS they have a test for exceptional intelligence
it says that gifted people only score average on it.
I got a 138 on the Ultimate Test but only a 105 on my first crack at the exceptional one.
Can someone else try it and tell me what they got, was the first one a fluke or am i just a normal dude:confused:

scored 138 on the ultimate test... 135 on the emode test and 140 on the national IQ test on tv (aust) Not too bad for a factory worker!:D Does seem kinda high tho...:m:

Mine was 129, which I don't believe. I actually had it tested when I was 16, and it was 137. I'm not leaving my IQ to a website. That's stupid. But honestly, IQ is not accurate really.

Oh man. I got a 116 on the Ultimate IQ test, 136 on emode. Blah. Neither are that great.

What's the highest score possible on Emode ? When I did the
test (half-assed and having not slept for 24hrs), I got 135 and
my friend who got tested with two standard deviations over
the average, got that as well... must have to do with "correct"
answers according to their twisted logic on some puzzles...

Take th REAL IQ TEST at http://www.enticypress.com
You seem to be more of a sub-conscious thinker.

It is obvious you either had help, cheated or in someway were distracted from concentration during this test. Your score is invalid. Please take the test again.

Your Observable IQ is: 170.01
The Average IQ So Far Is:100.02
Conscious:128.60
Sub Conscious:211.43
Emotional Intelligence Rank: 0.80 of 7.
I didn't cheat:bugeye:
Edit:
I just noticed this, seemingly I've gone beyond the scale:bugeye:
The IQ scale used in this demonstration is one from 0 to 145. It does not represent the currently accepted IQ test levels...

Don't take offense at the options of why it is a wrong result.

It is showing the second level of testing, which means you would have had to take it twice to get that response and it was only taken once... so it figured you either cheated or used someone elses number or entered your own number on the first try instead of the second try.... so it doesn't count...

It is an intelligent program itself.. programmed in APE and although it is intelligent, it does not have memory so it can only make deductions based on your process and not learned from previous experience. The net is far too slow to process the memory it would use if it had any.

I'm not offended:D
Just found it odd, I also didn't enter my number 1st go either, so is it just meaningless until I do it again with the number?

First time measures long term process.
Second time measures short term process.

It is quite accurate when performed as the instructions dictate but it is an intelligence test so it has no instructions on taking it just what can be deduced from the 'questions'. If you can call them questions.

I just read the instructions:D
Will try again later....

Hey guys! Cool forum.

You may also want to try the online IQ test I just took.
The site says that it was taken by more than 400,000 users and was prepared by PhDs.

They also provide other tests such as the Jobs test which identifies an individuals job profile, an EQ test and a General Knowledge test.

Comes with a small fee though. The test + 20 page personalized report costs only $6.99

You should try it. Report proves to have an added value.

URr of the site is: http://www.usatests.com

I scored an 8. A goddam 8. I hate that shit when I score 8. So I sent in my 600 dollars. Screw this!!

there're so many ppl who think IQ test is meaningless

I have to point out that there is no such meaningless thing which ppl do care very much. notice that no one has yet come up with score around 80 ;)

Almost every single one of the internet IQ tests gives EVERY single person a huge score. Why? They're easy. Example - one test gave four members on the board over 180.

Here's a test if you want to see a relatively accurate (in my opinion) one:

http://www.highiqsociety.org/noflash/nonmembers/iqtests.htm?IQ

You must select the Ultimate IQ Test - otherwise your score is not actually an IQ.



I found this test extremly scewed. It favors techinical education too much ( - about 10 question were on pure knowledge of elementary geometry and kinematics ) . -worst test imho. I scored pretty high , despite being unable to solve most patterns (dodecaedr "select impossible figure" imho is pure crazy stuff - you should think incredibly fast to solve 6 like those under 30 minutes) and inabilty to solve word puzzles (usually this is my strong part in tests in my native language) - only because the "object" oriented puzzles("physical puzzles") are stuff I did in high school.

And some questions are impossible to answer if you are not native language speaker
(.e.g: board fish gaze - find a word which when added to first 3 will make 3 new words - In IQ tests in my native language I was doing those things easily ,but in english it just doesnt connect for me at all).

I took total about 5 iq tests ( 2 in my native language, 3 in english ) But after all those tetsts I have damn feeling that after some training you can score a lot higher. - especially on pattern recognitions. Some of tests are incredibly scewed towards native language speakers ,some towards technical education .

i took the ihiqs untimed test but only spent about 30 minutes on it and i got a score of 138, so if time matters if i would have spent more time on it i probably couldve figured out more problems or does it even matter?

Do you want a CULTURE FAIR test ? Based on a REAL test model ?

Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices test (www.iqtest.dk)

It is based on J.C. Ravens matrices. This one in particular is closer
to the ravens advanced progressive matrices, as the items are of
harder difficulty than the standard version but the progressivity is
the same: as you move on, the patterns get harder to find. Have
fun...

;)

ive tooken many IQ test before and they were all differnt
plus it depends on if your tired, hungry ect ect
plus the countless other types of IQ there are like
survival IQ and musical IQ i think there is like 7 or 8 differnt kinds of IQ


did anyone happen to see that IQ test that was on the FOX channel?

now that was a JOKE it was only 50 or so questions.... and they determind the average IQ of american with this....


and they left canadian out of it, how rude

http://test.thespark.com/untest/untelligence.cgi

i fela stupid when i look at the iq chart knowen that im around 130 and that i am only 1 out of 364 or sumthen :(

my IQ when tested by a registered pyschologist in person - not on the internet - was 147..... but all my internet or computer ones are some shit like 180 or something.....

What is an Intelligence Quotient? The typical dictionary-regurgitated meaning is The ratio of tested mental age to chronological age, usually expressed as a quotient multiplied by 100..

Obviously, the typical IQ test is horribly flawed in the method that it derives this figure.

However, most people understand it to mean the intuitive reasoning ablility of an individual. It is not however, a measure of the raw mental ablility of the brain - IQ focuses on a particular aspect.

IMO the IQ model is too simple and more variables need to be taken into account before the concept can be usefully applied.


Anyway, I have had results between 100-160+ on various tests - obviously there is no consistency between them.. I scored 133 on this test and have scored 145 on a professional psychologist test. But please digest this with a generous helping of sodium chloride.

my IQ has varied between 117 to 140 on many different tests, im not sure how relevent IQ tests really are as i am 17 unemployed and didnt finish my AS levels yet accordin 2 all tests above average, i think they are an indication of intelligence but dont help 2 unlock that intelligence if that makes sense 2 ne1

Of course, there is far more too it. I believe the original theory was based on proving that mentally retarded people, are in fact, mentally retarded. Secondly, it was used for screening out people with low IQs from joining the millitary, as well as showing why intelligent people are more adept at more academically inclined jobs. Ie, it was good at stating the obvious.

lol, true, the other problem is that there are different areas of intelligence and some tests are all based on one area eg: visual puzzles/patterns or lingual questions. If you take this into account then assessing someones intelligence is very difficult as we all have strengths and weaknesses.

There is one element that is common to all skills and that is g. It can be very accurately measured with certain tests, ie the Ravens Standard and Advanced Matrices: computational power can be measured and thus, the person's potential known.

So is http://www.iqtest.dk/ a valid measure then?

It is very similar to the Ravens so it should be within 5 points of a proctored
test. Do it once with the time factor and once without: both will enable you
to see how you perform in different settings.

While these may be more consistent, they still suffer from the same flaws that the whole IQ concept has.

Aww, too bad, just got an IQ of 137, I think I will blame that on me being german and not able to understand all of the test.
This test suck anyway, normally I get an IQ of 150-160 out of them. :D

129. Gifted :D

159! it's high, but I still have to disagree, NO test can acurratly measure inteligence, I mean, look at my spelling. LOL, but seriously there are so many different kinds of intelligence that it is impossible to fully summarize into 3 numbers

... or two, depending on the test taker. ;)

Here's a fun one (genuine, too):

Catell-Weiss IQ test (http://tecfa.unige.ch/tecfa/teaching/LMRI41/travaux0001/cattell-weis.zip)

92 items, 15 point scale and timed.

Note: Zipped file. Decompress and run the executable in main directory to
start application...

I would never take an IQ test seriously, I am 13, the age of not caring :D

EVERYONE is smart, I don't take this crap of me being one in 11,307, everyone is one in a bajillion, or more. I don't want any1 feeling stupid about this test :)

IQ tests weren't made for putting people in tags

they were made for fun, for finding out something about yourself

but, we being humans have to turn the good into bad

teh, labels

I scored 126. Is that good? :confused:


I think the intellegence-rage is classified as follows (approx.):

90-100--Mentally handicapped

101-115--average

116-120--High(ly) average

121-125--Very High(ly) average

126-130--Superior

131-145(?)--Highly Superior

146-160--Very highly Superior

161+--Genius

guy you do know that the average IQ in the UK is 100. that means that you are saying tha most people are clever, but mentally hanicappe (lol) or they are average *(which is true)
i think you need to modify that view a little...:)
i am superior (nearly highly superior), and im only 15 (weyhey)

Um.............................I'm only 16

My "chart" is not perfectly accurate, but I do know for fact that 99 is considered leagaly mentaly-handicapped. 100 is not, but it isn't real high, either.......

"Average" is more of the official term. It really doesn't mean (although it may at times) "about normal with everyone else".

Most people end up between the 105-120 range, which makes me question the unusally high number of folks who claimed (in the thread) to get 137+.........I'd like to see them post (as an attachment) a screenshot of the page displaying their score, like this:

Hehe, I just took it a second time, just clicked on answers at random. Took me 10s to take the whole test and the resulting IQ is 100. Perhaps all those average guys just did it the same way. :D

What good did that do for you? ;)

Why should it do me any good? IQ tests are pretty useless to start with. I did it just for fun.

Well thet have a tiny bit of value, but I don't think you could have even have gotten that by clicking Randomly................ ;)

Iq tests are rediculous. Whatever IQ measures its not the limiting factor in anything. Its probably just measures the speed at which the brain undoes faulty relations or makes new ones and accesses memory. All of which can be boosted by nutrition, drugs and are different at different times of day... Not to mention that people can learn faster just by learning the stregnths and weaknesses of the mind so that they don't make faulty relations in the first place.

Ill bet the difference in IQ between different races is simply an issue of motivation. If african americans had stronger emotions they wouldn't need to invent relativity theory to have fun, they would just pop in a record or rap or dance or something. Whereas someone with weaker emotional motivators would try to go to much greater lengths, trying to differentiate themselves from everyone else in order to gain enough respect to be happy. I beleive I heard there was some kind of correlation between intelligence and fertility with races that are more intelligent being less fertile. Perhaps there is some kind of connection between fertillity and strength of emotions. Just a theory though.

Oh how I hate to ruin the party, but any IQ test taken on the internet is not very close to accurate, and more often than not it will give you a higher score than one adminstered by and in front of a psychologist. How fast someone answers a question and how they go about solving it is integral in determining their IQ. Equally, the number itself is only evaluated by the deviation from the mean number of correct answers when taking an internet test, thus to give one person a 134 and another 135 is nearly impossible due to the small number of questions.

In short, the internet IQ is a generous estimate at the very best.

This IQ test is very poor. It doesn't necesarily test your ability to think or your ability to comprehend complex problems. Many of the questions there are based on your knowledge of geography, some based on famous expressions while others are based one 9th or 10th grade math. This IQ test could be passed by with flying colors by a fairly smart college graduate, yet will fail a true genius who hasn't received a good education.

All choose the first choice and still score 82 prove how shitty the test are :rolleyes:

I never take tests because they will never be able to show creativity,resourcesfulness, common sense, inquesitivness, wisdom, love or other things that make a human smart. These tests only show a small fraction of what a human has memorized but not really learned.

im 13 and scored 117

is that good?

Not bad, not a genius, but not retarded. :) I think it's above average. Don't take the tests too seriously though, as CosmicTraveler mentioned these tests are fallible. Even administered tests don't tell the whole story.

Here's another site with several tests. Some of these really test your visuospacial skills and are really challenging. http://www.highiqsociety.org/flash/nonmembers/iqtests.htm

I'm 13 and got 137.... not bad, but the test is rather bad itself. It asks for geographic and school knowledge. Everyone should know that, therefore a perfect idiot with no logic might score a 120, and a genius with no education a 95, lik,e someone said above...


To me, IQ is logic, not intelligence(knowing things like your country's capital city).

Wow, this thread is still going ? :eek:

We are all intelligent, so there is no need for any additional IQ tests. Which would you rather prefer: accosting the average person, saying "I have a high IQ" and leave with the possibility of him/her thinking that you are arrogant, or doing something great for people, without associating yourself to such a number, until you are labelled a "genius" by others after you retire? I prefer the latter.

online tests are VERY unreliable. One had me scoring 118, and another 134. I understand the difference could be due to the differences in their construction, but all tests that purport to measure IQ and are based on the same statistical laws should give a person the same general score. Else, the test scores do lose meaning.

... in which case the problem has to do with improper norming.

Huh!? That test is flawed, I am certain I correctly answered every last question and still I only got an IQ of 140.
What more can I do than answer all questions correctly ?? lol
It is too easy anyway..

I got 122

Wow, that's some killer gravedigging. :D

Wow, that's some killer gravedigging. :D

LOL I saw a bot look at it, what can I say :shrug:

i got like 131... I'm definitely smarter than that... :( ;)

Be careful in doing such online IQ (or any other online) test, especially
when it asks about your birth date or any other personal information...

I just used fake info :D

Can u get, like 1000?, or over 500, even..

If you pay the site enough, you can have a 238497 IQ.
