162 on the Wechsler test (Wechsler IIRC, might have been the Raven but I think not). I'm not sure how that scales onto the others and I'm not really interested in finding out.
I got asked to join Mensa but refused. Bunch of stuck up nerds.

Also, non sequitor, Aussie Mensa don't sanitise session vars in their cookie management.
Well, since I've been institutionalized because of Autism, and having done multiple IQ tests there by psychologists and the sorts, i can honestly say that I've got an average IQ of 156 with a 163 on math skills, but my language skills are a little bit lacking.
But being an autistic person, I still have problems with small things that should be easy for people with low IQ's.

I took a standardised one from Oxford University a while back. Scored a sweet 144. Annoyingly that classifies me as 'moderately gifted', highly gifted starts at 145.
Still I beat my friend at the same test, he got 138. So we can definitely say that I'm better at that particular IQ test than him.

Well we both had the same number of hours sleep, both had the same breakfast and walked the same number of km to the test place.Lukeje said:
I'm aware of sd on test but I was making kind of a light hearted joke on the nature of IQ tests than being serious.
As a PS I'm actually better than average at timed tests and reasoning skills which means my IQ isn't overly representative of my general intelligence.
I have done tests with some kind of phsychatry person a few years ago (wasn't a happy child), and they claimed that I was in the top 2% of Australia, however I was not told a number (and I'm still unsure if that applies after several years of not doing any study or work, as I did neither at school).
from a series of online tests I fall somewhere between 139 and 124 these being the highest and lowest i've had
100 is average, Thats how IQ tests work.Lunar Shadow said:
IF the population got mroe stupid, 100 would still be average.
IF we got more inteligent, 100 would still be average.
Escentially you could say, its not that your getting dumber as you age, its just hte average is moving around every few years.
Well that and the way they Test IQ basically is inter-dependent on what you learned from highschool/college english/math/logic based classes. And the longer your out of school, well you tend to put what you don't use, behind you. So recalling that one mathamatical formula you'd need to complete some answer on an IQ test, 10 years after school is going to be harder if you never use math in your job, then if you just got down with a math class while the knowledge is still fresh.
Hell, I once took an IQ test, said I was 150 (online, can't be trusted).
Another one said 115. Another said 130.
I used one online one twice in one day.
once in the morning, scored about a 118.
Once after school, 125.
141 last time I took a test.
But I think I was lucky on that test it's probably quite a bit lower than that.

The Gardner Multiple Intelligence test is a bit better since it determines your specific type of intelligences (Verbal/Lingistic, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Naturalist, Kinesthetic, Visual/Spacial, Musical, Logical/Mathematical.)
