In general, IQ is a meaningless number without knowing the test's standard deviation.
I got 150 on that test (mind you, the Danish version goes beyond 145, which is maximum score in the English version, as far as I know), which is, obviously wrong. My WAIS-3 test showed an average general IQ while a high block design IQ. (Mensa.dk/iqtest is a block design test.)

Meh, I don't really know what to believe, I'm average. I know it.

Edit: The result I recieved from the WAIS test showed 110 IQ. Which is about right.

The best I.Q. test I ever took online placed me at 144, IIRC.
I've also heard that past I.Q. 130, tests lose a lot of accuracy.
They go from being a crude representation of general intelligence to a crude representation of specific abilities.

I got 140 in an online one but it wasn't timed. I don't know the importance of it being timed...

A timed one with just visual puzzles I got 111.

162, official, not online. As others have said, it's just a number.

I was administered an IQ test to determine if I had ADD (strange I know, but made sense when doctor explained it, and this is actually one of the few doctors I trust and believe).


I got a 135... but my auditory IQ was about 60... (as in, how much I can process from what I hear... I had to repeat back passages and stuff...) but my visual IQ was profound... highest he ever saw-- don't have an exact number for that, but not sure if the 135 is neglecting the auditory portion or not... venture it is *shrug* <-- doctor said its because I have an auditory processing disorder


As for IQ meaning anything... its BS. There has only ever been ONE person I ever encountered in my life that I thought was dumber than me. Maybe I'm just blind to intelligence differences, but people are all good at different things, and sometimes need more time than others (mainly for it to be put in a way for them to understand, not really processing speed and ability)

As for me, I feel dumb as s**t most of the time. I'm capable of getting through my engineering courses with a lot of determination, but absolutely nothing I attribute my "IQ" to helping with... pure stubborn determination.

I just wish that it could help me in more than test results. Because in conversations and stuff, I sound like a dumb idiot because I barely understand 70% of what is said, so always saying "what?" "did you just say ____?!" "um... can you repeat that" "again..." "and again..." "I'm sorry, I really don't understand you...." "I give up... write it down"

And often times forget what I want to say, even though the concept is in my head... so its like "ugh... you know... that thing in a car that you move, its between the seats, and shifts gears... wtf is it called" <--- it happens ALL THE TIME. Its actually getting more and more embarrassing and half the reason I'm so phobic about talking on the phone or presenting.

WHERES IQ WHEN YOU NEED IT?
IQ's overrated for sure, heh.

142 most times I've taken one in person or online. Others I just can't focus enough to not goof off during (much to the irritation of psychologist).

33% above average, I think. ?

As has been said by others, it's just numbers. To my mind a high I.Q. is only relevant if you can find a way to harness and use it. I've been searching for a bloody long time :lol:

When I was very young, I had my IQ tested. The IQ tester (don't know what to call them) said my IQ was in the "above average" range (i.e. 101 to 130). However, the IQ tester (again, don't know what they're called) said that I got frustrated at the end of the test, so my IQ was probably higher (in the "superior" range, i.e. 131 to 159).

I also did an online IQ test. It said "Your IQ is 250! You qualify for the Genius Pill™ (or something like that). Click here to try a free sample! The Genius Pill™ will boost any IQ that is over 200 all the way to 500! (Standard shipping rates apply.)"

Talk about fake IQ tests!

The official MENSA test claimed it to be 145, but some other tests have claimed it to be a bit higher, and some a bit lower. So, I would say that it is in the high 130s-low/mid 140s.
