Hey this is supposed to be fun!!!!

I'd like to generate an IQ profile for Sci-Forums members.

The poll responses will be kept totally anonymous

I trust you will be honest.

Here's a good IQ test thread, with several different on-line assessment tests. Some of them can be completed in 20 minutes or so:

http://onyx-ii.com/starr-rhapsody/journey/personality.html

There's other good stuff in there too like Myers-Briggs personality inventory.

BTW I took the european IQ test and I weighed in at 141. Here in the USA I'm only 134. :shrug:

I'll group with the europeans since they're dumber. :p

dumber is not a word, dummy:D

dumber is not a word, dummy:D

I know, I just made it up. See how creative I am.

Well actually I got the idea from a movie.

Does their combined IQ exceed 100?

Everyday is a no brainer. I like that.

I think mine is around 130. Although sometimes it seems like 140 and others... well, lets just say lower.

Coffee (lots of it) helps....

The European Test said:

Your score is 144
Wich means you are above superior.

MY IQ is as everyone else's' IQ. The same.

I just followed the link to the tests - IQ tests and explanations of their meaning(?) on the same page as palmistry, graphology and dream interpretation???? Sounds reliable to me... :eek:

MY IQ is as everyone else's' IQ. The same.

Moron.

Edit: I took the European IQ test

Here is your score

Your score is 153
Wich means you are above superior.
View the correct

Second Edit:
I scored 135 on the EQ test from Queendom. Very nice test, I recommend it. With these tests I often feel like I'm answering what I think they want me to answer. It is hard to tell if I am giving the "right" answer, or my true reaction. This probably skews my EQ up a bit.

Your score is 153
Wich means you are above superior.

Err.. well at least I am above superior with you :p

Didn't I make this before you?

remember that online IQ tests have poor statistical reliability, compared to official ones with high reliabillity, that take hours. :)

Didn't I make this before you?

But his thread is cooler.

all threads are equally cool and hot at the same time

Didn't I make this before you?

time is meaningless in something as illusionary everlasting as any thread created.

Err.. well at least I am above superior with you :p

We must be superiorest.

Your score is 138
Wich means you are above superior.


I didn't understand how to figure out that whole section where you had to fill in 2 shapes, and I'm disappointed with my score.
Edit: I took the European test. Can anyone explain how to solve the part with the 2 blank shapes, or do you just have to recognise some kind of pattern naturally?

RSPM (Ravens): above 2 deviations (Mensa no longer gives out scores... only pass or fail.)
Wonderlic: above 2 deviations (Mensa no longer gives out scores... only pass or fail.)
SCAT: above 2 deviations (Mensa no longer gives out scores... only pass or fail.)

European test: 155 (most likely sd24, meaning ~134 sd15)


I'd say 130-139, with 135 being the average result.

I hate you more than I hate the average human. You make a thread about IQ, and you don't even know about it.

1. An IQ test varies wildly upon what the maximum score is. In my case, the scale topped at 200.
2. Many people will take an online IQ test, and their answer will be the result of the garbage of online tests.
3. Many people lie, even if you ask them not to.

If you are "only" 134, you must be "as much as 85".
If you are sarcastic... I don't know.
Only 1% of the population scores as much or above 135 on a 200 topping IQ scale.
On this scale, 135 is 10 points away from the genius range.

AT LEAST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING...
when you make a thread about something.

Which on-line test did you take? Please provide a reference link. (This should be easy for someone with intelligence).

There should be a standard deviation on the poll above: I'm willing to bet that all 4 who voted for 160 and above are either full of shit or base their score on an sd of 24. This isn't going to get very far, as the survey is flawed from the start...

It may be that only the certifiably gifted have answered the poll, but I'd have to say it's highly likely that most of the respondents are actually within the 100-130 range. Oh bugger, I'm getting way too involved in this. :P

At least one of them isn't/didn't - I was administered the test at university about six years ago while studying (cognitive) psychology for a break from engineering....

As with any volunteer survey, the high scores and low scores should be thrown out completely.

The European test seems to like me: 150 and "above superior".

Anyway, the poll results seem to be showing anything but a bell curve.

Don't get over-excited about the "European test" referred to above.

I just did it, and it scored me at 147, which I'm fairly sure is too high.

What do you think you should have?

On the Mensa Fun Test I got a 26/30(less than 90% :() .

What do you think you should have?

Around 130, averaging a number of tests.

Euro is sd24, James: meaning that your 147 becomes 129 on standard tests. It seems closer to your average result, anyway... :)

Ah, ok. That makes sense.

and I thought nothing in this world makes sense

Kinda makes the poll meaningless, though, doesn't it? Some people will put in a score from one system, while others may use a different system.

I scored a 144. I feel like an 80 tho......

Pretty much, yeah. Not that it had any kind of reliability from the start ;)

Some Europeans here on SF have claimed that Europeans have a higher IQ than the rest of us. Could their IQ test have some fudge on it? :shrug:

I think the reality is worse than that for Europeans. The way these tests are normalized is to have many people take them, and see what percentage gets a certain number of questions correct.

The reason you score higher on a European test is most likely because that score is normalized with a less-intelligent test-taking population! :D

European test is actually based on MENSA entry test.

I've got around 141 on entry and they invited me for official testing.

I think they lie. I'm not that 'smart'. They just want my money.

MENSA aren't stupid. They know how to make money.

money for appraisal.

"You are so intelligent, now give us the money"

I'm assuming a European population was used to produce the base line IQ for a European IQ test. ;)

It is possible they indeed have a higher average "100" IQ, but a much smaller standard deviation that skews the scores upward for "us" intelligent folks. At some point the two bell curves intersect, let's say at "120" kind of like degrees C and degrees F intersect at one point like -40C = -40F.

Perhaps Dan Edmond can do the ANOVA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anova) for us to put it all in perspective. He says he's the expert on bell curves (gaussian distributions). :rolleyes:

I don't need to take an IQ test anymore. I already did the entire Academic education 'thing'. No need to test anymore if I will do well.

I'm assuming a European population was used to produce the base line IQ for a European IQ test. ;)

I'm assuming the exact same thing, which is my point.

Imagine that you set up an IQ test and normalized it with 5-year-olds. The average score is given a 100. If you score 115, that puts you one SD above the mean. 130 would be two SD above the mean.

Now, an adult takes the same test and scores 150. That score is meaningless and artificially inflated. Why? Because adults are smarter than 5-year-olds. (on average :))

Which means, if Americans are constantly scoring in a higher SD on a test normalized by Europeans, then the bell curve of Americans is shifted to the right when overlapped on the same scale with a bell curve of Europeans.

In order to verify this, you would need some Europeans to take an IQ test normalized with Americans, and verify that they are scoring 10 points lower.

Finnish children score highest on educational tests together with some asian nation. Americans do pretty bad overall.

notice how the USA is always BELOW the average.

The most remarkable reason for Finland’s success in the PISA Survey is educational equality: the entire school system is based on it. Equality means that every citizen has an equal possibility to get education regardless of age, domicile, economic status/ wealth, gender or mother tongue.

Now imagine you would apply that very same principle to the US?

Instead of bragging about a score that test potential you might be able to brag about a score that actually measures how well you are educated.

I don't need to take an IQ test anymore. I already did the entire Academic education 'thing'. No need to test anymore if I will do well.

SM, Is that you with a boob job? LOL

I'm always educating myself. My next endeavor is mastery of a musical instrument. I'm about 4 years into it now.

By the way, I notice there are twin humps on the bar chart. Might we call this the SM twin hump effect?

Sciforums IQ poll: Mainly high and extreme high IQs.
Sciforums content: retarded nonsense, racism and hatred.

correlation?

I.Q. Test.... (fun puzzle if you follow the steps)

a) Think of a number between 2 and 9

b) Multiply that number by 9

c) add the two digits in that number for a sum.

d) subtract 5 from your new number.

e) take the number and get the corresponding letter in the alphabet.
i.e. a=1 b=2 c=3 , etc.

f) Pick a Europian / Asian / or African country beginning with that letter.

g) Take the second letter from that countries name and think of a mammal that starts with that letter.

H) Then think of the colour of that Animal.

I) Now think about what shade of grey the big creature with a trunk is.

How did I know that last line. Hmmm

O.K. Another one.

Quickly do this (for best results)

a) quickly pick a number between 5 and 12.

b) quickly look down at your answer.

c) Your answer was the square of 49. Hmmm, usually anyways.

One more:

Count the amount of times the letter F is in the following statement.

Anybody try those three JOKE IQ tests I posted above. They are great for business cards, etc.

They are fun to solve, if you can.

SO VIRTUALLY ALL OF US HERE ARE IN THE VERY SUPERIOR RANGE OF 130+? This is skewed so far from the statistical norm that it is probably invalid.

all of us are of the same IQ range as everyone on the planet.

Nice bell curve, guys.

Is everyone here asian or something (!)

Nah, we're way smarter than Asians. Their bell curve is at about 106. The stinking curve here is around 140. We're way better than Asians. Stupid Asians.

This is not a NASCAR forum, it is a science forum, and I would think that would indicate better than average results without polling.
