You know what to do...

Seven vigintillion and three, according to the last test I took.

Supposedly 146 on the Stanford-Binet. But that was like thirty years ago. I've probably gotten some serious brain damage by now.

158.

Not that you'd be able to tell. :p

158 last check i had last year

Mine is to high to measure, they wanted me to take a special one for the super smart, but I am to lazy.

What test are we using as a reference? Problem is that different tests may give slightly different results.

Mine is to high to measure, they wanted me to take a special one for the super smart, but I am to lazy.My IQ is pretty average for my family. The lowest of any of us that have been tested is 133.
I have a cousin quite a bit younger than I who tested at 192. She was eight at the time and it was a mistake to tell her the results. She was insufferable. She haughtily told my mother "I'm smarter than you." My mother just smiled and said "But I know more."
Intrestingly enough this same cousin had a really hard time in college. She just wasn't used to having to study or put any effort into anything.

120-something

I’m bad at math :(

well its true that some may be off, thats why i had about six different tests and they gave me the average, but then its also true that iots not about maths that determines your IQ, im better at science and english than maths so dont worry too much about 120, the average for my age is about 110

And that's exactly why I don't think IQ tests count for anything. There's a difference between having a high IQ and actually knowing things. Technically, for example, I'm 'more intelligent' than my boyfriend, but he is a hell of a lot smarter than I am (thought he denies it); he knows far more. His trivia knowledge leaves me speechless, his memory is uncanny, and his natural talent for languages and grasping almost any idea quickly and soundly leaves me looking downright slow next to him. (Just like the fact that I have a far higher GPA average than he does doesn't necessarily mean I'm smarter. I just try harder. :p)

I measure intelligence by the ability to be thrown into a situation, any situation, and possess and be able to apply helpful knowledge. The ability to carry a conversation regarding any topic. Not by a number.

168 according to a test I took a few years ago, but now my proficiencies (especially in math) are much closer to average, so my IQ must be lower than that now. Honestly, IQ actually has little to do with actual intelligence, it just measures "book smarts". In my opinion, too many people let their IQ affect their self esteem (and their egos for that matter)
I wonder when the last time was that 100 was actually average...

also true, but then a good IQ test also gives you a rough guide to where you mental strengths lie, although to understand it more youd have to read a good book on psychology, IQ test isnt a be all and end all, its a just a means of making a guide to your capacity

Personally I prefer aptitude tests as far as finding my mental strengths.

Supposedly your IQ measures your ability to learn. Just because you have it doesn't mean you use it. My brother is our "dummy" with his 133 IQ. But if you ask anybody who knows him he's one of the most brilliant person they know. His ability to remember everything he's ever read in detail is totally amazing.

I think the problem with IQ tests is that they try to evaluate something way too general and multi-faceted. The closest we could get to measuring intelligence would probably require either a multitude of separate tests testing different facets of intelligence, or a single massive test encompassing all of those facets.

'xactly. So even when I was younger, with an IQ of 168, I never thought of myself as a genius.

Sorry, a little of topic, but Amarenthe, your location made me laugh. Location: female ??? lol

IQ tests are built on faulty premises, theyre not scientifically rigourous (if scientific at all) enough for assessing something we dont even understand yet. The definition of intelligence is a contentious issue, I would say you have an innate intelligence, and then different abilities, ie someone who is good at sport might be an idiot at maths, we still dont what this intelligence is exactly, although as a pointer Ive encountered a fair number of people who score highly in IQ tests but are relatively and sometimes incredibly stupid.

As someone noticed, the results of tests vary vastly. The spread, the programming and so forth.

Thus my results are:

Tickle.com: 156
Mensa's Gifted Children: 148
JournalistIQ.dk: 132
But it's surprising how easily one can get better at these visual and mathematical tests. At age twelve Mensa said mine was only 119. So apparently it's just improved virtually by it self. (I'm 16 now. And Danish.. Thus the mediocre English.)

well thats true, Einstien only had an IQ of 160, but to todays standards thats nothing special, its simply how he used his brain that made him famous

Well, that's just so people know and don't get confused. I suppose I could put it in my sig, couldn't I? :p

No, keep it. It's funny!

'xactly. So even when I was younger, with an IQ of 168, I never thought of myself as a genius.My step-mother clocked in at an unimpressive 105. While she seems reasonably smart, she'd never be mistaken for a genius.
But she has something I'd be perfectly willing to exchange a few IQ points for. She has real drive. She dropped out of school at 14 to get married and have kids. Never even had pre-algebra. When she started college a dozen years later she started in calculas and was on the deans list. Graduated cum laude. Had a very successful career in the electronics industry. When she got tired of that she went into nursing. Thanks to her previous management experience she is personel manager at a rural hospital.
I wish to hell I could exchange a few IQ points for that sort of energy and discipline.

118, but looking at everyone else, I feel rather dumb.
:/

I took a test as a child, and got 160 (because that's as high as the test went). It's probably lower now, my brain is underutilised nowadays.

No, keep it. It's funny!

Oh... but... I already changed it... :p

Wow. What an amazing woman. :) I could never do that.

She just wasn't used to having to study or put any effort into anything.

hmm. i might be having exactly the same problem right now. not that i have an extremely hight IQ, i've never tested it, and i don't really care. but i'm quite intelligent.
so in high school i didn't really have to work a lot. just read some stuff the day before the exam and i never failed for any class except French. so i never did anything in advance and i can't work unless i have a lot of stress.
so now i'm at uni, my first exam. we have about three weeks to study a lot, and it just isn't working, i really hope the results won't be that bad.
that being said i should really get started.

118, but looking at everyone else, I feel rather dumb.
:/Don't. It's all in how you use it.

oh well... :P

@Bleurg: Don't feel stupid. IQ tests mean little, if anything at all.

I got a 132 when I was tested in kindergarten. I don't know if it would be different if I took a test again.

Best way i can think of just to keep your brain from melting from age, im not good at maths so i just read, i read techinical stuff, fictional stuff, extravogant and simple stuff, you just have to read different stuff all the time, keep your mind in check all the time, at the moment im reading a soldiers song, a book about a para in the falklands war and at the same time im also readin a book about shakespearian dialect so you just have to diversify.

IQ test are BS. I have never completed anyone of them because frankly I don't have enough energy do watch dots or shapes to see how they change for 30-60 minutes. IQ-tests only measure logical strengths and I don't need an IQ-test to tell me how "smart" I am.

144, though when I was a kid it was a little higher. I've gotten stoopid eh?

My I.Q. is Malachite Green. :)

From what I've seen so far in this thread, one would surmise the average IQ on NS is above 140... perhaps true, but I doubt it. I also wonder where a lot of people base these figures on (online tests...?).

As for myself, I have no real idea of how high it is since I've never been tested. Is there any value in being tested though, given how much IQ is being contested as a valid means of measuring intelligence?

150 ish. i'm not actualy sure, I remember it was near my sister's that I think was 156.

85. :(

A very reasonable deduction. I'm definatly a nerd and quite enjoy a little showing off.

Hmmm, I am still dubious. I am sure there are certainly some genuinely high (and very high) intellects here, but whether or not IQ can indicate these is another matter entirely (I am kind of baiting for someone to give their thoughts on the IQ debate :D).

Inevitably. ;)Considering the IQs posted here, it would make mine about average for a NSer. Seems about right to me.

But I don't believe intelligence can be quantified by something as simple as an IQ test. There are just too many facets to human intelligence.

I'd like to actually debate with some of these individuals to see if they actually put their high IQ's to use, or even possess them to begin with. I've seen you debate, so at least I know you possess the credentials. :)

Gee, thanks. Though I can't really think of anything remotely intelligent I've posted recently.

No real idea. But I'm guessing my IQ ain't very high as I'm useless when it comes to those kinds of tests. Let's say I'm intelligent enough to manage my life and when it comes to medicine, compassion and caretaking no one can smack my fingers. Guess I have a high "EQ" as they say. Anyhow, I get by and having a higher IQ probably wouldn't make my quality of life any greater :)

I can't say, because you'll all get jealous...

But I'll just hint... It has FIVE FIGURES!

That's the only thing IQ tests really test well.
I was one of those weird kids who looked forward to getting out of class to go take tests.
Conversely I probably don't have a very good EQ. I usually find my life out of control and totally unmanagable.

I just did an IQ test and got 120 which is normal. I think most people get between 85-115. Seeing the results other people have on this site it makes me wonder if this site is full of geniuses or if people have taken to easy tests because only 2,5% of the population get results higher than 130. Above 130 is considered to be genius but it's controversial.

Wierd thing is that throughout highschool I was one of the 'smart kids', but that was probably more to me being motivated to get good grades and thus working alot on the projects and tests and really digging into the math and such, whereas others who are surely more intelligent than I am, thought it would be a cakewalk and just didn't bother. For example I'm horrible when it comes to math, but in working hard as hell and then helping out the even weaker kids I managed to get top grades in all three courses. I think it boils down more to interest in the subject than IQ how well you manage. I didn't like math so it was hard. Chemistry, biology and human interactions facinate me and so I learned those very easily. From my experience, learning something boring is way harder.

129, gifted.

However, I suck at math. :( but I have lots of random information and knowledge of how the world works, so grades aren't a good measure of intelligence and neither are IQ tests.

according to many tests. I'm only 14 so it should improve...:sniper: :confused:

See 1st commandment.

Looks like I´m in the dumb crowd. I got a 135 in the WAIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wechsler_Adult_Intelligence_Scale) three years ago, and about the same in those dumb internet ones.

I´m quite bad with math too. My mind works by trying to figure out how things work. If a study an engine, for example, I create a mental model of the pieces moving and how they relate to each other. In math, there is no way to use that, you just need to memorize stuff.

Supposedly 142, however, I defy most mathematical genii to out-debate me.

156 according to the last test I took, which was an online quiz, about a year ago.

Far be it from me to cast aspersions, but for a forum where according to this thread about 98% of the posters lie in the upper 98th percentiles and beyond IQ wise, we sure do generate a whole load of incredibly dumb, illogical and just plain wrong headed arguments... make of that what you will.

You know what to do...

...damn LG always takes the best answers...

Well, on a word-usage/understanding IQ test, I rank 89. On a visual/spacial test, I rank 213. I haven't really bothered with any others, though most of the standard test-them-all tests tend to score me around 134.

You're still well above approximately--what was it, 75% of the population? 85%?--which is good.

Of course, we also need to realize that human intelligence can only go so far with our limited brains. Sure they're fantastic compared to brains from other species, but that's only on a relative basis. They're still limited.

I know, but I've absolutely nothing to show for it. :(

Yeah, well, i'm starting to think that in today's society you're just as likely to be rewarded for being mediocre and not drawing undue attention to yourself as you are for being a genius, which is much more likely to make someone with greater power than you jealous or otherwise piss them off.

IQ isn't supposed to measure intelligence it's supposed to measure the speed your intelligence works at, thats why the proper IQ tests time you.

you can be really intelligent but have an IQ of 50 and really stpid but be able to work out basic sums in miliseconds

its just generally rare to have those example because its been shown that IQ and intelligence are roughly proportional to each other

oh and i think my IQ is somewhere around 150, ive done quite a few tests and they all vary from like 120-190

Yeah, but I wasn't really talking about wisdom there, or whether the actual position behind the arguments was right or wrong, but more how muddled, illogical and flawed they often are as arguments - those kind of simple acts of reasoning that are covered in IQ tests.

It does depend on which test you take, some are easier than others. My brother has had anything from 120 to 160. When he took a more reliable test he got 140-something.

138 for me, so fairly clever.....

higher than most. (in fact higher than 98% of the population)

Lolz, the last time I took an I.Q. test, I was 12. This test didn't give numbers either... I had "Excellent" for the 16-17 year old catagory. The thing is... I think I have taken some blows to the head since then. :confused:

IQ doesn't translate well into anything but IQ, I hang out with some very very intelligent people and some of them don't have (what I would consider) basic common sense, and I know of only a few I would consider wise, although they are over 60, so it could be because they have been around so long and have nothing to do with their high IQ.

My IQ is unknown, but on my standardized test scores I always score in the top 95th to 99th (out of 99 possible) Percentile if thats a good indication.....


Of course I act as though I have a negative number for an IQ most of the time, but hey! I like to have a good time! :D

True, but the score does depend heavily on the subject's grasp of basic logic and deductive reasoning, and I am commenting that such a display skills seems often strangely absent on NSG if we are to believe that the claims given in this thread... not that I am saying that anyone is lying, but instead that the vast majority of IQ tests are deeply flawed and weighted so as to give higher scores so as to give them what take them a slap on the back.

indeed, I scored poorly on a spatial reasoning test which has no correlation to my intelligence for spatial reasoning...why? Because I got an A in art in my leaving cert in 2003 and Im self taught in 3d studio max.

I usually score about 145-ish on US ones and about 160 on UK ones.

The issue with taking any foreign test is that they have different spellings of words, so for the 're-arrange the letters' ones, I don't really have the answer, and that some things are very different as items - case in point, the doughnut.

This one always drops me a few points on a US one, because most have a "you run through a doughnut 6 times, and it has 7 doors, how many shoes does Dave have?" or somesuch, but since I don't know if a US donut is generally what I'd call a ring doughnut, or like a Dutch doughnut (which are basically just balls of fried up cinnamonny batter - very nice!) or like an English doughnut (i.e. a jam one) it's a bit hard to answer.

Being enlightened on this'd be nice!

Do you think in images rather than words like I do? Do you make lots of weird logic jumps?

yea i rarely think in words, it's always feelings and images, and if you mean by logic jumps, theories and ideas just poppin into your head from really obscure things then yes

I take all of these online IQ tests with a grain of salt. I've gotten as high as 179, I got 168 on the Tickle "Super IQ" test, I got 126 on the Danish Mensa test (though it was only math, and there were no explanations whatsoever), 145 on OkCupid's IQ test, and 123 on the test that was linked in this thread.

I know just how intelligent I am, as I can envision multiple outcomes for pretty much any situation, based on things that I do or say, not to mention the fact that I can soak up information like a sponge, no matter what kind it may be (mathematical, lingual...).

So, to put this simply, I don't need a slanted "test" to try and put me in my place, so to speak.

Visual Spatial Learner, a lot of that in my family, my son as well......teachers claimed my son was abnormal and couldn't learn(stands out from the norm), the truth was they weren't able to teach at a level that grabs his attention, he is very bright and learns things instantly if explained correctly.....

I take all of these online IQ tests with a grain of salt. I've gotten as high as 179, I got 168 on the Tickle "Super IQ" test, I got 126 on the Danish Mensa test (though it was only math, and there were no explanations whatsoever), 145 on OkCupid's IQ test, and 123 on the test that was linked in this thread.

I know just how intelligent I am, as I can envision multiple outcomes for pretty much any situation, based on things that I do or say, not to mention the fact that I can soak up information like a sponge, no matter what kind it may be (mathematical, lingual...).

So, to put this simply, I don't need a slanted "test" to try and put me in my place, so to speak.

Yet, you´ve done every possible test out there, and knows which scores you got in each one of them.

Looks like you´re yet to learn the meaning of "irony" and "hypocrite".

Enough.

I didn't say that I was against taking them. I said that I take them with a grain of salt, as the scores seem to fluctuate a hell of a lot from test to test with almost identical questions.

About 140, which by NSG standards apparently makes me an idiot.

According to the Wesschler (sp) my i.q. is 140. That's about average for my family. The problem is that i.q. tests don't measure things like ambition, discipline and common sense, so, for very intelligent people, we're surprisingly poor and unrealized.

220-something. Hooray for having a high score on a completely useless test.

You may all have fine IQs but can you beat the monkeyquiz?
Take it, if you dare!

118, but looking at everyone else, I feel rather dumb.
:/do not.
Most people took theirs from the Interweb.. wich is not reliable..
My IQs as tested are unreal space high..
that is why I will not post them.

somewhere between 65 and 70.

So, eight pages in, has anyone other than Soviestan (who's probably being facetious anyway) claimed an IQ less than 100?
I'd read the thread, but what's the point? IQ threads are lots of people saying "IQ is bollocks!", a big stack of people saying "Mi eyecue iz elevuntybilyun an ufrteen", and the rest giving out scores of 115 plus. Nobody ever claims they're below average, unless they're taking the piss. Sigh.

Although I used to work with a girl who was pleased to score 80 on an internet IQ test. She was pretty sluggish.

Why I am being facetious? I don't have the highest IQ in the world and I'm ok with that. Why do you have to mock me?

Sorry. It's just so uncommon to see anyone claim anything that's not well clear of 100 that I assumed you were taking the piss. No offence was intended, and apologies are offered, if you weren't.

I wouldn't put too much faith in this supposed standards. ;) Consider that average IQ wavers at around 100.

we have debated before yes?
Not really - we came to a minor disagreement over something, but no full-scale debates on anything. I doubt we'd disagree much, given ideological similarity. :) Still, we rarely post in the same threads. I consider a person's debating ability a better indicator of their overall intellect than the IQ's they may claim to have.

I usually get between 115 and 125. But to be fair to myself, there has not been a single occasion where I have taken a test that I did not get distracted by a shiny object half-way through. Pretty trinkets that I spy belong to me.

How odd. I always judge people by their looks.

Not so great as some of those that have been posted. I generally do quite well with language and memory (in fact, most people acknowledge me as the strongest English student out of my entire grade, in a school of 1600). However, my math is only average, and my visual patterning skills suck. So it evens out to like 120, or something, though on online tests, I've had as low as 100 and as high as 150. Never had a proper test give me a number.

That's a good policy IRL. :)

I agree. I have only found three or four people around here that I would consider of "above average intellect", whom I will not name, should they feel they were my favorites.

I think it's funny that people think they are something special because they got a high score on an internet test (which is both different in admission and form than a real IQ test) but then I run into those people day in and day out in real life anyway.

Every time someone finds out that most of my family belongs to Mensa I hear one of two things

1 "They asked me to join, but I didn't want to, they all seemed like snobs anyway"

which I know to be untrue because Mensa doesn't "ask you to join" you have to submit scores from approved tests or you have to take one, so either they submitted and failed and are bitter or they are lying.

and

2 "why aren't you rich?"

which is also the question I heard a lot of when I worked at the psychic line, it was funnier then.

If I'm honest, fuck knows. I've done a couple of proper tests years ago, can't remember the results, and all the online ones seem a little...high. I figure I'm at uni, on a fairly difficult course, and I've never scored below a 2.1. Can't be that bad.

I don't think I'd ever try to join MENSA. When I was younger and first found out about the organisation I talked to my Dad about it. I think he must have tried to join once and get refused or something. He called MENSA-ites snobs or people without any social skills or the like. He put me right off. I suppose you could call me snobbish towards MENSA in a way.

You mentioned benefits and discounts... what sort of discounts. I may be a snob towards people, but certainly not when the issue involves money. I more... might we say pragmatic then.

*Just checked the MENSA UK website. It says an educational psychologists report is acceptable evidence of IQ for the purposes of joining.

They probably do. After all, they are not very good looking on the whole. As evidence I cite Jimmy Savile. Oows about that then!

No. From what I said there must be at least one mensa member who is not not very good looking.

just Wiki and Encarta, I don't actually have any more access to who is and isn't a member than you do (past my local group)

In school I remember my IQ test giving me an overall of 146 (I think).. I just took an online test and managed 132 which Im happy with considering I've done virtually nothing to excersise my mind over the last few years. Im sure that with some practice I could be back to my former glory :D

Well...........

Is time analogue, or is there a quantum of time? If there is a quantum of time, then probably most stopped clocks are never 100% accurate.

If it is analogue, then the period of time they are actually correct is undefined.

However, for practical purposes they are right twice a day.

That was shit compared to the krypton factor.I haven't heard of that program. I mean the only reason I remember Test the Nation is that I channel hoping and chanced upon. I tried to answer some questions, and was doing alright, but finding it hard going. I mean there just wasn't enough time to think of an answer and check it. About 5 minutes later the show ended - I'd been watching the answers section of the show. I felt pretty pleased with myself then.

The kypton factor was excellent. It was ITV's (-?) effort to find the british/commonwealth superman.

It was a combination of "intelligence" tests: general knowledge, spatial awareness puzzles and whatnot. But it also included an "assault" course in the scoring. Naturally to make everything fair, the 'assault' course scores were normed for gender and age. This made the whole thing rather pointless considering the general knowledge and whatnot weren't. In other words it was fixed.

Still, I'm sure had I won it I would go around claiming I was the british superman of 1983.

Because i like you my friend, i respect you my friend, ill encourage you my friend,
Through and throuuuuugh!

chorus:

Hey now little mouse,
I hope we understand one another,
hey now little mouse,
show me what to do, [little mouse!]
hey now little mouse,
somethings moving there in the back room,
hey now little mouse,
show me what to do!

And as the night rode on,
we shared a hearty meal,
and talked of many things,
of scimitars and shields.

Ill protect you my friend,
ill defend you my friend,
i will fight for you my friend,
till i dieeeeeeieieie!

(chorus)

Cant you seee?!
It was meant to be!
A mouse and a man in a tumble down mansion!

Exploring dusty rooms, while singing ancient tunes!
Of comradeship, and chivalry,
you might just catch a glimpse of me and you and you
and you and you and....

(guitar solo)

(chorus)


Hey now little mouse,
I hope we understand one another,
hey now little mouse,
show me what to do, [little mouse!]
hey now little mouse,
dont be scared of the cat in the parlour,
hey now little mouse,
show me what to do!
Show them what to do!

Different tests, different results, and I thought anything above 130 is considered a genius but some folks are well above that. After performing an IQ test, I’ve got a 148 and I showed off to my siblings until they all did the same test, my sister (the youngest, at that time 16) got 154.

To understand I.Q. does not represent ones true mental ability as my is only 136 and I have been able to outwit every signal teacher since I was 10. As well, at 8 I started to process knowledge more effiecnelty then those around me, I was even suppossed to be checked to be an prodigy or something.:p Yet, a little more then a decade later I am still in second grade.;)

141 As of three days ago.*Hits with sledge hammer*

What do you think it is now?:)

138 A couple of weeks ago.. High 140s back in school

But these tests are like all others, if you do excercise before hand and get into the "swing" of them you'll do better.

According to a test I took right (answering in between fapping), my IQ is 98.

Which is funny because two years ago it was 124. I'm thinking more along the lines of 135 now for some reason.

I don't put much stock in I.Q. tests. After Marilyn Vos Savant (reportedly the smartest person in the world - having tested in excess of 200) completely blew a question, I decided that intelligence was only worthwhile if you actually troubled yourself to do some research before popping off. She actually said that alcohol did not occur naturally. My daughter and I both laughed our behinds off at that.

Probably extremely low. Like, in the -3000 range.

There. I just made up for an entire threadsworth of IQ inflation.

Mine is about 210. the last test i did said 320 but i think thats wrong..lollol times three....:D

My IQ is exp(pi*i/2).

Although NSG are intelligent people but I sense some BS in this thread considering the average is 100

Around 83 last time I checked. Yeah, can't remember the exact number, but I'm pretty sure it had 83 digits.

Mine proberbly is not as high as I qouted in previous threads. Apparent;y my verbal stuff lest me down. But seeing as in most other fields I was in the top 1-2% by rights my IQ should be ~140-150 ish.

Several internet-based tests put my IQ in the 130s. This just proves that you should never trust the internet.

Indeed, those who have scored exceptionally highly and believed their score are, by this logic, the least intelligent people here:p

I've taken a few in my life. To give you an idication of how much they can vary, I've ranged about 145 to 170 with no particular correlation to age.

Accumulated knowledge can help increase scores by changing the way you might look at something, or the way you think about a problem. There are tools and processes that can be learned to make you "smarter". Whether or not they actually make you smarter, or simply appear smarter is another question. I'm no expert on it. Your IQ will also change during the day. As you wear on through the day, especially under stress, your IQ will begin to drop.

Fuck all if I know. I personally don't care.

I did a tickle IQ test for an IQ thread (it requested it, to standardise results) many moons ago, and scored over 150!

Unfortunately I took the wrong tickle IQ test :(

And even if it'd been the right one, 150 is complete bollocks.

Well compared to some of the other people I clock in at a rather unimpressive 134. I was tested before they allowed me to skip kindergarten. My brother came in at 112. I don't remember what the test was only that 100-110 was average on it.


I do think it's not wise to tell a kid their IQ, or even to test them unless there's a problem.

I breezed through school, no effort at all, hell I didn't even turn in roughly 70% of my assignments and I still never failed a year. Getting straight As would of been no problem at all had I actually done my work. I aced every test, again without effort, never studied. History and science were my favorite subjects. I can't recall a science test I ever had less than an A on. I had a history teacher who was frustrated I'd finish the tests too fast so he gave me extra essay questions.

The only problem I had was I have a minuscule attention span for anything I don't find interesting (which is why I did poorly in math class once you got to Algebra). So Algebra was very hard for me, I nearly failed it because I didn't pay enough attention to the teacher. He also had a voice that just tore through me, loud booming fellow, I tended to tune him out.

Way I saw school was, there was no reason to try particularly hard. Why work for it when you can do the bare minimum and still pass?

Me too with science. It has always been my favourite subject by far.

Have I ever related the tale of my junior year, second quarter Honors Chem? It's one of my proudest achievements.

I got incredibly pissed at my chem teacher, as she was a nitwit, so in protest I decided to completely skip doing homework.

I had total success, so for nine weeks I didn't turn in a single assignment. I had prepped myself to tell my parents that I was gonna get a bad grade in chem, but when the report card arrived I was stunned to discover a 93, a B+. It was truly amazing.

If we are trading stories about being good at chemistry may I ask your permision to be a little arrogant/ bostfull?

In year 7(My age was 12-13?). I secured an A* grade at GCSE chemistry, an exam my peers are taking this summer. In year 9 (age 14) I got my first AS level A in a chermistry module. And last year (15) I got the second two needed to get a full AS all were As (w00t).

God, I feel like such a show-off, sorry.

Forth grade I did absolutely nothing. Got perfect attendance because I hated the bitch I had as a teacher. I very nearly failed that year, but even doing absolutely nothing my test scores were enough to keep me above failing.

never seen so many lies on one thread, everyone on the NS forum is a F***ing genius:rolleyes:
No, everyone who answered this thread did so only because they had IQs of over 130 and wanted to brag about them. Each time they do that, their score lowers by ten points.

No clue. But I know one thing..95% of the people here are lying about their IQ's.
Not necessarily. They could have taken internet tests, which are not as reliable and tend to inflate results.

Mine is about 210. the last test i did said 320 but i think thats wrong..lol
And you still can't capitalise the word "I".

Fuck all if I know. I personally don't care.
^ What he said. 'Net tests have given me anywhere between 130 and 210. but frankly, I wouldn't care if I got 50. (I might not have as inflated an e-penis, but that's a small price to pay.)

a million and a half

Eight.

Mine is 140, according to the MENSA test, but I got bad results in school.

Mine is about 210. the last test i did said 320 but i think thats wrong..lol
Not only did you post it three times, you also can't capitalise your 'I's, and you put "...lol" on the end.

Yeah. 210 IQ material right there. If it was 320, by the way, you'd be so intelligent that your head would actually explode, your brain would be that awesome.

*waits for the inevitable image of that guy's head blowing up*

Internet I.Q. tests are bunk. The vast majority of them have too many questions that take a literal bookworm to know the answers to (seriously, how many people are going to know what a synonym and antonym are for soliloquy, and just what the hell does that have to do with intelligence in the first place?).

Other tests just don't go deep enough, like MENSA's online test that was posted here a few months ago. It seems to me that an I.Q. test would measure one's ability to learn, rather than measure what one has already learned...

Mensa's online workout is not an IQ test and it even says that on the page, it's a workout, a fun thing.

That was the whole point of them when Binet created them, what over a hundred years ago? It seems to me a bit odd that we're still using a method of assessment from the early 1900s to measure intelligence. In fact, people who research intelligence, such as Howard Gardner, *have* moved beyond it, but since other theories don't give you hard and fast numbers to stroke your ego with, they aren't as enticing.

Ah. I haven't looked into it in any real depth myself, as I really don't give a damn. :p

Though I can see how the newer theories haven't exactly caught on. Most of the people I've known who were in G&T classes were assholes, and they were usually a fair bit less intelligent than the A-grade students. In my public school experience (as well as my rather lengthy experience in online forums), I can say that I.Q. is a way for dregs to hold their heads above everyone else. They have a high I.Q. score, so they're obviously better than you...

...Not that I ever had a problem with tests or the like. I just completely and utterly dislike most of the people who take them and think they're hot shit for getting a high score.

G&T classes

Gin and Tonic?

Gin and Tonic?

*slaps you with a trout*

Gifted & Talented, you jackass. :p

Though a Gin & Tonic class would've attracted a better class of kids, no doubt. Seriously, I can't stand most of the kids in those Gifted & Talented classes. Every time I was put in one, oh god...

Oh, right. Sorry. We don't have those in Blighty. We're not gifted or talented ;)

The two online tests I took about two years ago I got: 127 and 146.

Slight difference.

163

Are you sure of that?

Have you had it tested recently?

The only problem I had was I have a minuscule attention span for anything I don't find interesting (which is why I did poorly in math class once you got to Algebra). So Algebra was very hard for me, I nearly failed it because I didn't pay enough attention to the teacher. He also had a voice that just tore through me, loud booming fellow, I tended to tune him out.
Bah, same here. Mathematics bored the living daylights out of me - and one of my teachers was so bad, he made me lose interest in it completely, in one of the most important years (material-wise). I'm doing Economics now, so I do need a degree of mathematical knowledge, and I am catching on rather fast; I wish I had paid more attention before though... and that I had not had an asshole of a teacher. :)

Many important things you learn on your own anyway.


I am still surprised to see the ever-increasing stream of Mensa quality individuals entering this thread. As Neesika would say: Bitch, please. :rolleyes:

yeah, some of them I am reading their "scores" and I am like ........uh.....no.

but I am way too nice to mention names. ;)

No freaking clue, nor interest.

Somewhere in the 140s. Who knows though that was a long time ago...

Since we are all so smart here on NSG let us consider givning some of ourselves to the brain slugs so that we might propel them to their true places as rulers of the Earth.:)

Boasting about your high IQ is meaningless. I quote from "Of mice and men" "A guy don't need to be clever to be a nice guy.". Intelligence is not everything. I personally am quite an intelligent person ,however one of the nicest people i know has an IQ of 50-70 (mild mental retardation). Personally i am a great supporter of the old (pretty much defunct now) DENSA movement for people in the 98% bracket, as i really hate the snobbishness and aloofness of MENSA.

Oh, right. Sorry. We don't have those in Blighty. We're not gifted or talented ;)
*frowns slightly*

We have a whole organisation dedicated to it, the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth.

I've only taken online ones. Gotten 136, 130, and 126. So I figure I'm probably about 130 IQ.

But that doesn't mean much.

I think I'm around 130 or so. Of course, that doesn't really mean very much, since there are a lot of things people know more about than I do.

High enough to serve me when I need it.

I have no idea what its exact number is, and I honestly don't care.

Anyone who loudly proclaims their IQ obviously has a very low EQ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence). That's why we spend our time in front of a computer...much less emotion to deal with...

Cookie.

*Hands a box of cookies made by thousands of Chinese sweat shop children*

Mine is to high to measure, they wanted me to take a special one for the super smart, but I am to lazy.

Ha ha ha?
'too/to'

May have been mentioned before. Oh well. :headbang:

I'm in Mensa. I went to a regional gathering today. There was a cool talk on the history of anti-evolutionary teaching in America. There then ensued an argument between a Mensan who supported Intelligent Design and the rest of the people.

Even smart people believe stupid things.

A sidenote: It is my opinion that an IQ above 140 or so is meaningless. There is a lot of difference between 70, 100, and 130, but not so much between 140 and 170.
