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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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*

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.

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.

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 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.

Any I.Q test that doesn't display my name as the mark for maximum level achievable isn't worth the pixels it's displayed on. Beware these charlatans, folks.

My IQ is 145 (http://www.free-iqtest.net) - Free-IQTest.net - Online IQ Test (http://www.free-iqtest.net)


on internet tests i've got anywhere from 112 to 180. real life tests have put me about 136. reliable they may not be, but they are a fun little challenge... except those number sequence ones, which i just hate :mad:


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.

Damnit, I was about to explain them as soon as I saw his post.

I'm getting tested by a doctor within this month and a genius wouldn't spell physiologist wrong just saying

Thats .... that's priceless.

Next time, please remember that it's a psychologist.

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]

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. :)

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.
I think you passed the test.

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.

Methinks you do not understand the concept of IQ.

The average, by definition is 100. 128 is quite wide of the mark for average.

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.
