Though I graduated Georgetown and became a professional writer, and he flunked out of three colleges. I dated a girl who had 151 IQ, and we were always on equal terms... I think stuff like MENSA is just elitist bullshit to make the "in" people feel better about themselves at the expense of others.

Psychology is a fairly young discipline and not that much is known about the brain. To somehow claim that they've discovered a "reliable" way of measuring intellect is pretty stupid, imo.

I agree with you and with MadreDeFielyWillow.

Anyway, I took the regular test and the advanced test, I got 114 on both. But it is important to add that I had a hard time with the definitions of some of the words there, since English is my second language, so I ended up guessing a few answers. Frown Could I get a Hebrew translated test? Redface

I've taken a few other IQ tests in the past and scored anywhere between 132 to 140. I wouldn't trust online tests tbh.

I got 129 on the TE3, I did badly on the ~13/36 that are fact-based (they call naming theorems math? what is that, I'm good at real math, not naming theorems)
For a breakdown on that,
-6 knowledge
-4 math
-3 analogies

If you don't know what a American Vice President lives in, you're obviously not good at forming analogies :>

140 on the normal one, I didn't like it though. Again too much fact rather than doing.

The questions in the test are based off of knowledge of certain governments and ect. that most younger people would not know. What age is this test based off of... When I was in grade 1 the government funded me an actual test which took an entire school day. I think my result from that was 136. From this test I only got in the 120s...

Whats Your IQ? - Eldin - 2008-07-14

I don't trust online IQ tests (generally biased, poorly weighted, etc) and I dislike IQ tests in general. All I really care about are my grades and how well I can actually perform in the real world. I don't give a bother about how I compare to the "average" person. They do, however, seem to show that humanity is getting smarter - a good thing, I hope.

My result was 131, which seems rather high to me. I'd plot myself at 120, max, if I had to.

Whats Your IQ? - Truly - 2008-07-14

131

I don't believe Theorems is the math that I expected.. I hate those visual things too. D:

Whats Your IQ? - WiseAlon32 - 2008-07-14

well.. i got 115 on the regular test and 121 on the advanced one w/e its name is.
i did some guessing too cuz engrish are my second language and i dont learn english literature or geography (well i learned alittle geography in elementary school and thats it).
i dont believe in IQ tests actually, not the ones on the net and not every other IQ test, simply cuz its not accurate enough and i dont think it ever will.

Like I said, if your intelligence is high at a young age and remains constant throughout your life, your IQ will be lower as you get into your young adult years.

Also, online IQ tests are far from accurate.

Quote:All I really care about are my grades
Grades are not an accurate measure of intelligence. They're a measure of how hard you try. Even people of very low intelligence can get good grades in a difficult course with work, and even intelligent people can fail classes if they fail to try.

Whats Your IQ? - Worthyness - 2008-07-14

LOL 105 with mostly guessing on the last test?

i hate visual references they are bad and i dislike them lots =P

I did most of the math and history and english tho 0_o

I did guess on a lot of it xD

Whats Your IQ? - Eldin - 2008-07-14

I know they're only measures of work - but my work ethic is where I've failed for the first six-sevenths of my life, so it's a big accomplishment for me to actually be able to stand all the busywork that gets thrown at me without giving up.

Plus, I get scholarships for having good grades. Grades = money = time = important, yes?

MadreDeFielyWillow Wrote:I did not see this as a true IQ test, as too much of it was based on actual knowledge and not the ability to think, reason or use logic which is what IQ truly is. The sequential part of the test was appropriate, but being able to name various mathematical theories or paradoxes does not measure intelligence.

Basically, it's a fun way to use your brain for a few minutes, but I wouldn't take the results too seriously. As with any test of intelligence, your level of intelligence doesn't matter nearly as much as what you are able to do with it. I consistently test in the very high range, and yet due to learning diabilities (dyslexia, etc) I did not do nearly as well in school or in life as my husband who has a slightly lower IQ (2 points) but has a doctorate.

Or, to put it in words that teens may better understand...it's not the size, it's how you use it Cool
So I don't have a 85 IQ?!Heart

Rain Wrote:So I don't have a 85 IQ?!Heart

My guess would be "NO" you don't have an IQ of 85. Hope that helps you sleep a little better tonight.

Just for the record, this test showed me as 50 points below what Mensa tested me at, and that Mensa score was averaged from several different tests over several years during my mid- to late-30's.

Again, too much of this test was exact knowledge which truly has no place on an IQ test.

Whats Your IQ? - Ashley - 2008-07-15

Lol. It said I have a 99IQ.

However, when I took an actual IQ test from a shrink a year or so ago, I scored 125.

Could also be because it's 3am. <_<

If you are counting both tests, I tried the easier one and got 140 on it (edited into my earlier post but I guess you missed it Tongue

Whats Your IQ? - MasPan - 2008-07-15

138 on the normal test
115 on the advanced (stupid factual information crap got me - facts have NO business on an IQ test that is meant to determine intelligence. Considering that they ask you to pay for a profile, I assume these were placed on the test to make those who passed feel smart or to add a sense of "legitimacy" to the test.)
