	It is not that hard to just say that your iq is much higher than it really is. This could easily be done by me too. I'm just saying that I think the whole idea behind this thread is stupid.

Right. Just because someone posted a high score, it means that they really scored a 90 and was insecure about it? Don't the rest of us have integrity too? They could easily not post at all, you know. I'm not afraid to admit my weaknesses. I would post my score truthfully just as readily if I got a 75 or 180.

If it is that important for you to share I.Q. Test scores with each other, I will of couse not stand in your way. But I have said what I wanted to say, and I dont want to sit here day after day to explayn my meanings to people that only can see things from theyr own option.

**gillyweet** · 02-08-2008, 05:33 PM

well, my iq according to most online tests and a mensa test i took eons ago is 145. which i trust to be quite accurate. i refused to join mensa though. has an anal S$60 per year membership fee just to meet up with other mensa members and talk about how brilliant you are. don't think people are that smart if they don't realise that mensa is a money eating organisation, or realise it and still join.

**yondyr** · 02-08-2008, 06:05 PM

Haven't been tested, left school at 15, my guess around 140, though give or take some points for practicing or new to it... specially as it's timed.

**Mr Galt** · 02-08-2008, 06:34 PM

148. I thought that was high until I read this thread...

You cant compare with us, we are the minority after all.

**Mr Galt** · 02-08-2008, 06:38 PM

You can see it from that perspective, but if I compared it with the "average" then I would be including that guy at McDonald's who can't find the Big Mac picture on the register. Needless to say, the person who administered the test was thoroughly excited while giving me the results. I have never been so irritated by good news.

**AliciaS2R** · 02-08-2008, 06:45 PM

Your IQ is 152

I do not believe the test to be accurate, because I usually score 130-135. It sure is an ego boost though... ha

Which one? The 152 came from the link in the first post. The 130-135 came from the Mensa test and several others found on the internet.

Why are you asking?

**Santana28** · 02-08-2008, 06:51 PM

lets put it this way... my husband (a psychology major) was tested numerous times and came up with an average of 154. i kick his ass.

BUT... i think the scores for both of us are inflated. he, because he had spent years striving to be the "genius" and practicing acing such tests, and i because i have an especially sharp logic and above average abstract reasoning skills. i KNOW he's not that intelligent, and i know that i'm not that well-rounded. if it means anything... i'd probably guess he's in the 120s to 130s and i'm in the 140s to 150s. but thats just my rough estimation. i don't put much stock in these scores, but i find comparisons interesting.

**ssfanatic** · 02-08-2008, 07:03 PM

No, i, just kidding. I know my IQ from a test i took in school a couple of years ago. I never even realized there was a link in the front of the thread. I was messing around.

I just took the one at the beggining and i got a 142, so that tells you that its pretty damn close. I got a 139 with a test from my school (Iowa Testing)

**E148** · 02-23-2008, 11:12 AM

I took the Mensa Test a few years ago and scored 134, enough to get in.

Online tests range from 160+ to 135.

I think the best online test I took also a few years was the American Mirror of the European IQ Test.

This is a test about recognizing patterns both visual and mathematical. It does not have a thing to do with vocabulary, therefore not culture biased. I scored a 148 on it.

**Avenger** · 02-24-2008, 08:58 AM

I have made three different internet tests and they showed 118, 120 and 121 respectively.
So I'll say that I have 120, just to make things easy.

**thaddeus6th** · 02-24-2008, 09:19 AM

The problem with IQ tests is that they're artifically altered continuously so that they stick to a normal curve. As a population becomes thicker, an IQ score of 100 (average) becomes less intelligent, and as a population becomes smarter a 100 score becomes more intelligent.

Well, the terms 'intelligent' and 'smarter/thicker' are not entirely accurate anyway.

A few years ago I did quite a few online IQ tests and found the results to be pretty divergent. I did a MENSA test a while back and got 154 (I was irritated at the time, it's 1 point below being in the top 1%

I like this test although I'm told it gets boring. So prepare to concentrate even toward the end. It is culturally fair as it doesn't have any of the normal vocabulary questions. Just look at the pictures and figure out the pattern.

Scored a 186. Feels good to have that as ammo, but no one will believe you.

Of course, no one in history comes close to W.J. Sidis, whose IQ was estimated at 300. Even the friendliest estimations of Goethe or Newton don't come close.

**amXDuser** · 02-26-2008, 07:35 AM

ah ,so much for IQ test.
the amount of questions asked in the "Free-IQTest.net" is quite insignificant.
got a 130 on the scale.

I looked Sidis up. That man is... just amazing. Eight languages at the age of eight? He reached my goal years before me! At fifteen, I currently know four languages fluently and self-studying a fifth, and he's just... ERGH *bangs head against wall*

**narutofanninja** · 02-29-2008, 02:16 PM

I received a 136. Is it based on time? Because I took my sweet time doing it lol.

Antares,

Knowing languages does not equal logical comprehension, although the comprehension is also a measure of ability. Food for thought.

**esialb** · 03-07-2008, 05:49 PM

I scored 156 on the first IQ test. While I don't think online IQ tests in general are very good, it is pretty close to the score I got in third grade, 157. I don't know how my IQ has varied since then, though. From what I gather, it changes over time.

I suspect that it inflates scores somewhat. It is in the interest of such sites to please their users; nobody is going to be susceptible to online advertising who just got told their IQ was 100 or lower.

Oh well. It was at least an interesting test, if incredibly easy.

**vkut79** · 03-07-2008, 05:59 PM

Yeah, the first test is bogus.

Reading about W.J. Sidis's life made me think that an extreme level of genius is more of a curse than a blessing. Makes me wonder if there is an IQ level beyond which you're actually worse off.

**Sod** · 03-21-2008, 06:22 PM

I'm getting anywhere between 122 and 140 on these online tests. There are a bucketload of distracting noises around, so I can't be certain which ones I was concentrating properly during. I get the feeling that

, which had no verbal component, only patterns. In any case, they don't seem very trustworthy, but I'm guessing my score on a more reliable test will be near 125. (Do I really want to find out though?)
