Poll: What is your I.Q. according to this test?

[Irridium]

I'm a 16 year old male
and I got a 105, although I did guess on half, mostly the last half.

Some of those patterns are headache inducing

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

Sleep deprived? Check.
Lots of scotch in system? Check.
Guessed the last 5 or so? Check.
Really bad at those sequence things? Check.
Rushed? Check.
IQ (according to this strange IQ test)
135.
That can't be right.
26, Male.

118, 23, Male

 

[Jonny The Kay]

107 for a 15 year old male, I guess that's pretty good.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Sideways eight. Beat that score.

 

[Ravenstien]

122, 19, Male
Not the usual kind of IQ test I have to say, and that's a lot lower than the 155 I got in the Mensa test...no I didn't join Mensa...I was just curious.

 

[dmase]

whew 107 slightly above average. Nothing my school's class rank couldn't have told me.
male, 17

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

Sideways eight. Beat that score.

Three sideways eights and a kitten that shoots rainbows of love out of its paws.

 

[AroLombardi]

Holy crap that boggled my mind. I got 108, and I'm 14 male. Some of those I guessed because I couldn't catch the pattern at all. I'm quite ashamed of my IQ really...

 

[LaughingTarget]

Sideways eight. Beat that score.

That?

 

[bookboy]

score: 110, Age: 16, Gender: Male.

I do not belive that this test is very accurate as on my last real world I.Q. test two (2) weeks ago, and on all of the other I.Q. tests I have been taking over the past 8 years, I have always scored 135 or Higher.

this test seems to measure logic more than intelligence.

As I am interested in psychometrics and human psychology in general, to test one of my ideas, I decided to use this forum as my template.

An IQ test merely shows how good people are at IQ tests and does not in any way equate to intelligence...

Further, there is no way you can claim that any IQ test is not effected by the social class of the person in question - after all, it is a near-fact that social class dramatically effects a pupils early education and therefore their success at IQ tests. Bearing in mind that IQ tests were originally designed to test the mentality of patients it makes no sense to bother completing them, let alone advertise them - they are merely another forum of e-peen.

So explain (I'm not giving your site traffic until I get a legitimate answer) what idea are you possibly planning to test with an IQ test?

So you got a low score eh?

I kid, I kid.

He is wrong about some of that. Twin studies show that identical twins raised is separate environments have very similar IQ's, so you cannot attribute everything to environment. Factors like nutrition, and learning how to learn do have a somewhat large impact.

Yet there is a reason IQ tests never caught on in schools. I was given an IQ test in school, but that was a Catholic private school. I do not care to post the results. I will give you that I always figured I was intelligent, but seeing the results of that test was a bit of a shock even to me. A large part of the reasons they will never institutionalize test results. They are never what you expect.

I answered about eight questions until I realized it was all pattern recognition. I guessed the remainder of the test and scored a 103

This test is inaccurate and only measures one of the baselines used in actual IQ tests.

Also the test uses standard deviation scoring of 15. Most use 16.

Nutrition and learning how to learn are environmental factors. And there have also been studies that have shown a significant difference between the two. All we can surmise by the IQ thing is that we have no means to accurately measure something intangible like intelligence.

 

[nokelso]

106, 16 girl. I'm gonna do this later, when I'm not starving.

Edit: Wow, I'm an idiot. I'm not used to putting my age at 17 yet. Man.

 

[Charli]

106, and Im so tired Im about to flop, feel pretty good with that.

20, Female.


Edit: Ohlol same as above. That test seems alot more accurate than a few I've seen. Alot of those last few puzzles threw me.

Exactly. The tests have become more standardized but it is still to the point that if you accurately want to measure scores against each other you have to have taken the same test with the same scoring. I mention those environmental factors because those are the only ones that seem to have a significant impact. However because of twin studies people have learned that even the greatest of influences is not that great.

Either you where born with it, or you where not. Nobody expects anything different of athletes, why would they expect the mind to work so differently. Sure everyone can improve, but you are going to run into limits. How fast and how much you can improve has a lot to do with genetics. Also not eating lead paint chips as a kid.

 

[HazzaH]

I didn't need an IQ test to tell me I was average. Intelligence comes in different forms anyway. Also, I don't know about IQ... surely you can be of average-IQ, study really hard at school and get good grades. And if you have an IQ of say, 120, yet you never study at all and fail your exams... you still have a fairly high IQ, but you're still an idiot.
At least, that's the way I see it.

 

[LewsTherin]

110, male, 16.

did it in roughly 25 minutes with minor sleep deprivation. But, none more than usual :/

 

[daribian]

I doubt this can be held up as an appropriate IQ test, there is no logic involved and seems to be no logic as to work out if you have scored a correct answer or not, the first easy ones i wasn't even sure i got right because god knows how they work out a correct answer. At first i actually thought this is a trick and a ghostly image was about to jump out and scare me, i wouldn't be suprised if this was just a waste of time and they gave me a random number at the end. Oh and i scored 105 but i don't think i will be bragging about that being my IQ.
