So, how many of you are really, really geniuses? Well now, you can find out with this IQ test! Here is my score below!

http://www.free-iqtest.net/images/badges/l160.gif

Can you beat my score?

http://www.free-iqtest.net/

My IQ tells me that that IQ test isn't very accurate.

No offence.

IQ does not equate to 'genius', it means you're good at passing IQ tests. I mean if you were smart, would you not already be aware that you were so before testing it?

I got tested once by a Phycologist (with a PhD) and got 132.
I've tried internet ones, Max is 180, lowest is 107.
I think we can see internet IQ tests are useless.

Oh and 130 is apparently the genius mark. 160 is the Mensa mark.

Can you beat my score?
How exactly are we meant to beat a score of 'over 160'?

Can you beat my score?


Would you be posting your score and a link to the website if the result was unflattering? That should tell you something.

Oh, I always thought 130 was just the gifted mark and it had to be in the 150s or something to be genius. Mine was 132 when it was tested when I was 6 or so. I agree that I don't really trust internet IQ tests though.

According to that test, my IQ is:

well i've finished it, i got 136. go me. oh I feel smart already. the joy of intelligence.yay.

Traditionally, an IQ of 140 or above is considered genius-level. Of course, this has to be done in a controlled environment. Internet IQ tests are worse than useless. Hell, I've taken the same test twice, gave the same answers, and got a different score.

It's not timed, so it's useless anyway, even by IQ test's very limited standards of "useful".

It's not timed, so it's useless anyway, even by IQ test's very limited standards of "useful".

I was wondering about that. I went pretty slowly, but I would think that time would matter.

Edit: If I went faster, I bet I could've gotten a green one.

I don't like being directed to a test that then REQUIRES my personal information after the test is over. I took it, but refused to fill out the "we're going to send you all kinds of junk" information after soliciting my email address. Fuck sites like this. If they can't tell you that you'll need to fill out a solicitation fom after being tested before getting results, then what else will they not tell you? I'm tired of being sold something every time I turn around.

No offense to the OP or those who took the test.

That's one useless test.

Always fun to compare yourself to others, though.

Same here, i just filled it with gibberish, i hate sites which try to offer you stuff, but i suppose that's how they maintain the sites, via the income from advertising.

No!!

I got 155 on that.

160+. 162 it said.

Still, meh. It is debatable for me whether England is a country. The test is not culture-free. And not timed. Wildly inaccurate. My IQ is much much lower than that, y'know... :p

Methinks it is not only innacurate, but also boosts results to boost egos so that people will compare themselves to others (and thus send people on the site).

138.

Keep in mind that I half-assed it, and don't take an internet test seriously anyway.

I refuse to take IQ tests. Especially unreliable Internet ones.

I'm insanely competitive enough without having something else to compare. And I already know that I'm smarter than all of you, anyway. :)

actually Mensa doesn't have a set IQ score because each test is weighted and scored differently a 160 on one might be a 157 on another, you merely have to score within the top 2% on a Mensa approved test to be eligible for membership. *nod*

oh, and Wilgrove that test sucks......seriously.

My IQ is 164 (http://www.free-iqtest.net) - Free-IQTest.net - Free IQ Test (http://www.free-iqtest.net)

Which is a load of bull, because I had my IQ tested professionally twice when I was evaluated for ADHD (ages 7 and 11) and it was around 145. I know people with IQs of 160+, they're not in internet forums, they're running the world. ;)

Yes. The real IQ test I took years back placed me at 176, which I am happy with.

And since then I've been using it as an excuse to be real lazy.

I got tested once by a Phycologist (with a PhD) and got 132.
What does IQ have to do with algae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phycology)? :confused:

And oh, I also know a phycologist. Not a PhD holder, but a phycologist nonetheless.

As soon as I hit submit reply, I realized I left myself open to that, heh.

I should say, I know people who will be running the country, who are rising in the ranks right now, although most aren't in politics. Maybe the choice of "running" was poor, let's say... leading.

Hell, look at Marilyn vos Savant. She's got an IQ of 228, and her columns are unmitigated crap.

Damnit! I hate it when the internet calls me stupid! I had a doctor administered one that clocked me at 139 general, and this lying internet sonofabitch is calling me 118!

I got under 75 :(

After retry I managed 84! That must make spechuul.

Hell, look at Marilyn vos Savant. She's got an IQ of 228, and her columns are unmitigated crap.

I thought it was something like ~185.

That's quite possibly the worst website on the entire internet. I didn't even get a score because I didn't have the patience to jump through their 5 million hoops at the end and I couldn't be bothered to think of a fake phone number 18 times. I can only assume my score was somewhere in the 11,000 range.

Filling out that bullshit after taking the test -- that there is the real IQ test.

My IQ is at least the final number of posts in this thread.

Oh, come on, keep posting, PLEEEEEEEZ! :p

I made it halfway through, but I got bored and submitted it only halfly-filled. I got 113, I´m satisfied with that.

Though I think it would be easier to make a test with your native language, but these tests are crap, I only have to make it to the half way and it already claims I´m smarter than average. A real psycholgist would give you a more reliable answer, this one is a joke.

My IQ is 194 (http://www.free-iqtest.net) - Free-IQTest.net - Free Online IQ Test (http://www.free-iqtest.net)

hate doing iq tests there never set out for anyone with more than mild learning difficulties

My IQ score is ... 42 :D


I was aiming for a score of 69 :fluffle:

It's funny only 2 persons here have gotten below 100 so far. 100 is supposed to be the average, half of the people taking the test should get less than 100 and half should get more. The score distribution should be a bell curve so the number of people who get 110 is equal to the number who gets 90 and the number who get 160 is equal to the number who get 40. Either that test is inflating the scores making it completely useless or we have almost only gifted people on this forum.

Not going to take the test after seeing the comments about having to make up personal info afterwards.

Um, no, actually, we're not. That "99% perspiration" part keeps tripping us up. We don't like to sweat.

It's hard to believe but true - just about half of us are below average.

this is a mostly political forum... you could assume many people below the average just aren't interested in discussing politics. so the notion that this forum may have, in general, an above average IQ isn't that crazy imo

People keep saying it should be timed, but some people's browsers are slower than others so then the time would be different. Then it would be unfair. I've forgotten how that works but I read it on the Mensa homepage.

ANything that requires my address, I don't do

what on earth is the answer to these two (and how do you work them out?)

i'm not so good with numbers

Question 15 is about square numbers - 25 is 5 squared, 400 is 20 squared and 144 is 12 squared. Of the answers, only 1600 is a square number (it's 40 squared), so that's the right answer.

Question 17 is about cubed numbers. 1 is 1x1x1, 8 is 2x2x2 etc., so 4x4(16)x4 = 64.

man, i'd never have thought of that :P
thanks :)

I got 143, but that's ridiculously inflated. I'd put myself more around 110-120.

Also, what are people talking about with all the stupid ads? You didn't actually have to do anything- it emails it to you straight after you click the "submit answers," button.

In a random sampling large enough, that would be true. Here we don't actually have a random sampling because we are a self selecting group, most of us are young (under 50, sorry Ash and ASD), most of us are educated, and most of us are at the very least somewhat interested in politics and science. We are a very specific demographic. The other problem being our sample size is very small. Teaching probability to my child was difficult because she needs things demonstrated, so while the odds of a coin landing on heads are about 50% you have to actually flip it enough times to get an accurate sample, doing it twice or ten times, or even 50 times just isn't enough, probability is not evenly distributed in a sample that is small. There is a third problem that I have already mentioned which is that IQ test sucks, it's poorly written and not a true IQ test, and you can manipulate it easily to gain a better score than you actually would have gotten anyway.

Agree with Smunkee. That's a dodgy test. Biased towards Westerners. Alaska and England being the muddled words. 20 questions only. No time limit. :rolleyes:
That "how many 4 sided shapes questions" is meant to take a lot of time for all but geniuses. In a normal test, the time to work that out would be highly relevent.

Also some sigs, such as proudly libertarian makes me question if the IQ is above 100. :p

I didn't even consider mentioning the bias! haha. Mensa should kick me out!

I feel wary of internet forms that ask for your date of birth and your email address, since some password protected sites use date of birth as a password reset.

I remember an email that was being forwarded round a lot of my contacts which was a link to various games or tests like "Which character from 'Friends' are you most like????" on an external site, and after you completed the test but before you got your results, you had to give your email address and your email password. I couldn't believe how many people were doing it.

oh i am a Genius, yea! i got the same as you when tested by a phycologist. So yea!
I'm getting tested by a doctor within this month and a genius wouldn't spell physiologist wrong just saying

Real IQ are a very poor judge of intelligence, internet ones = fail

Explain, please.

140. Bleh.

Explain, please.

The American Psychological Association's report Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns[15] states that IQ tests as predictors of social achievement are not biased against people of African descent since they predict future performance, such as school achievement, similarly to the way they predict future performance for European descent.[15]

However, IQ tests may well be biased when used in other situations. A 2005 study stated that "differential validity in prediction suggests that the WAIS-R test may contain cultural influences that reduce the validity of the WAIS-R as a measure of cognitive ability for Mexican American students,"[84] indicating a weaker positive correlation relative to sampled white students. Other recent studies have questioned the culture-fairness of IQ tests when used in South Africa.[85][86] Standard intelligence tests, such as the Stanford-Binet, are often inappropriate for children with autism; and dyslexia the alternative of using developmental or adaptive skills measures are relatively poor measures of intelligence in autistic children, and have resulted in incorrect claims that a majority of children with autism are mentally retarded.[87]

It was in English. Add 10 to that score if you like :tongue:

Folks, I scored 30 points highter in an American test than in a test published in my own country (both were culturally biased, although the Polish one less so). Free internet IQ tests blow dead goats. Thusly, I cannot even boast about my scores. :)

There's a handy little site called bugmenot.com (http://www.bugmenot.com). It has user names and passwords you can use for some of the more common sites, as well as a temporary email server. For example, for this test I said my address was here@bugmenot.com.
In case any administrators are reading this, I would like to point out that the address I gave this forum is not from bugmenot. It is completely legitimate.

Some of us would. Genius isn't the same as being a good speller.
For the purposes of IQ tests, it is.


Note that even in a legitimate test, half the test is about guessing the right polygon, which is just one narrow facet of intelligence, and half the test is about knowing words.

In an Internet IQ test, scores are basically as good as in Zombie Survival tests.

Online IQ tests fail. For ecxample the one time I was bored enough to try one, there was a base IQ of 100 EVEN IF YOU GOT EVERY QUESTION WRONG, plus three points for each of the 25 questions you got right.

Yes, I got a 175 on that sorry excuse for an IQ test.

Furthermore, any self-reported results are always overreported.

The only proper way to have an IQ test is this:
"Now, children, instead of our English class, we'll have a math test today. Sit apart, take your pens, and prepare. Since it's the last class, if you finish early, you can go home right away."

That's roughly how they are administered and weighed to be 100 on the average. Just feeling like taking a test is going to give you a few extra points. Then you take a lot of tests, retake them, select only good results... We've discussed that in a better IQ-related thread.

I got tested once by a Phycologist (with a PhD) and got 132.
I've tried internet ones, Max is 180, lowest is 107.
I think we can see internet IQ tests are useless.

Oh and 130 is apparently the genius mark. 160 is the Mensa mark.
Psst. It's psychologist.
