What is your I.Q?

[p3t3r]

never had an IQ test before so.... got perfect on eqao if that counts for anything.

 

[Sir Kemper]

I had an I.Q test done about a year ago, turns out i have an I.Q of 142.

 

[Polar Atom]

139.

Though, I.Q. tests are stupid.

 

[Burningsok]

yeah i got a 108 in school when I was in 7th grade i think. I'm a bit different then some ppl so yeah. But I have greatly improved over the years and i think i might be a legit 115 or maybe even 120. Who knows IQ tests for the most part are BS and can't fully measure someones intellectual capabilities.

oh yeah 100th post, a tiny tiny milestone

 

[Tyrannowalefish_Rex]

Stupidest topic ever. Whenever this pops up somewhere, I wonder "and what will you do now with your result? Stop thinking? Or is it not good enough and you better quit your job or school?"

 

[twostripe]

i hear it was pretty high when i was younger but all those concussions from football have probly brought it down considerably

 

[Kenjitsuka]

139.
Also, I am beginning my second Masters studies end of the year
The first one was easy, so why not? ;-)

I don't think the I.Q test are fair since, as far as I know there all multi choice answers A,B,C or D so if you have no idea on the answer you can guess right that kinda takes away the piont of them me thinks

When they come out with an IQ test that is proven to be accurate, I'll take one. Until then, all I know is that I catch on to things quicker than most other people.

Well I guess you are never going to be taking an IQ test because you can't "prove" anything in science. all we can do with a well built test is look for reliability and validity. While as many mentioned there are many imitators and only a very few true IQ tests these do have high reliability and validity (not perfect but nothing is). Beyond that it must be recognized that IQ tests need to be used as part of a larger evaluation of intelligence using many different measures as well as interviews etc. For adults that might matter very little as long as they are functional and able to do well in a job. For a child it may be more influential especially if they are considered gifted or developmental disabled.

I could go on for a long time about all the things involved with all of this but I think this is good for now.

one doctor said I have 164, another says I have 186 =\

It's funny how many people on here could easily join MENSA but instead spend their time on forums :3

 

[Rack]

My parents discouraged me from joining Mensa, right now I'm not sure what the point would be. When I last took it I was only 4 so it was something crazy because they're so easy to spike at that age but after all the abuse I've put it through it probably won't be so hot these days.

you need an IQ of 27 or something to be smart enough to breathe... sooooo.

IQ tests are un-reliable for one simple reason: You can fail and IQ test and get a score of zero. And you need an IQ of 27 or something to be smart enough to breathe... sooooo. (Regional genius)

Statistically speaking you can't get a 0 on an IQ test. There are people who score in the teens in IQ its considered profound mental retardation yes in many cases need breathing tubes and a lot of care. However for people that are recognized as this being a possibility they give a test that is very unlike the written test that is given to average people. I think it's really ignorant of you however to say things like "smart enough" to breathe.

simple, the last time i got mine checked, when i was five, i got a 130, even though they couldnt get me to pay attention, or so i am told.

Same, but I feel like I've dumbed down considerably.

 

[Aesir23]

I've never actually taken an IQ test, besides it's all subjective anyway. And some people are better in some subjects than others.

For example: I'm smarter than my brother when it comes to History simply because I'm a History Junkie. But when it comes to Geography, he is clearly superior.

 

[ninjapenguin981]

All IQ tests are different. Therefore there is no point in comparing IQs unless we use a 'control' test to make sure we're all comparable on the same scale.

It's funny how many people on here could easily join MENSA but instead spend their time on forums :3

You have to pay for MENSA.

 

[Jharry5]

I think its around 130-ish, not that it matters too much. The results vary too much to be called trustworthy...

 

[GodofDisaster]

I got 115 on one I.Q test, but then I went and did another one, on the internet and I got 125. So they don't really prove anything.
