Whats your IQ? (NOT a 'OMG, I'm smarter than you thread!')

Post Reply New Topic

i did one quite recently and got a score of 177 i wish it wasnt so high becausei think i would be better off sociallt if i wasnt so high on the scale

i took an officiated weschler IQ test which gave me a score of 185. ive heard somewhere that autistic persons score 20-30 points below their real IQs on standardized IQ tests; that makes it an adjusted score of 205-215.

Only did online tests, but some of them seemed pretty much reliable. On a average it seems my range is 130~140.

From what I see, there are a lot of very high scores around here, interesting.

I did 4 online IQ tests scores range between 120 and 160. Would love to do a real one sometime.

75 or something. Yes - very low.

I've done a couple fake ones that said anything from 120 to 200. Once I found an online one that looked legit and it said 145. I would be interested in taking a real one, but I am under the impression it costs money.

I get way too bored to finish IQ tests.
Plus where do you guys take one?

I've only taken an official IQ test once, and I was nine at the time, so I doubt it is terribly accurate anymore. At the time, I scored a 148, but I feel reasonably confident in saying that my IQ has dropped since then.

I took an official one a couple years ago and it was between 120 and 125 I think.

I took it at my school guidance counselor because somebody suggested doing it when I was trying to find a diagnosis.

No, 133 would put you somewhere in the top 2 or 3% of the population. I don't trust the ones I've seen on-line, so I'm not going to post any links, but if you google IQ distribution charts, yeah, they're probably at least roughly accurate. Basically a bell curve, with 60% to 70% of all individuals falling +/- 15 points of 100, and then outliers on both ends both sides beyond that.

Though back when I gave a hoot about stuff like this, I do know there were controversies like what effect, if anything, the The Flynn Effect (link) was having on scores. I think some specialists were arguing something like 105, 106 as the new 100, but it was (and I'd wager still is) a very contentious issue.



I agree to an extent, but also disagree. Certainly someone with a high IQ can be impaired with mental illness, be confused and directionless or just simply be lazy. But the "raw material" is there, should they have a change or heart or a recovery. But someone with an IQ below 85 is going to have a tough time academically doing college level work, no matter how much effort they put forth.

FWIW, my IQ is 125, Weschler test done in a psychologist's office, the whole bit, within the past six months. I feel positively below average on this thread.

I've found a lot of online IQ tests are just junk, they are either limited in range or are asking completely inappropriate questions to test intelligent (ie memory questions).

Years ago I took a Mensa test, but I found them doing a lot of word meanings, which I found very unIQ-like. I remember being extremely uneasy and wanting to escape while taking it because of all the strangers around but I still scored 134.

I found two online tests that were very well made a few years ago, I don't know if they are still up. These tests, with millions of test results were statistically averaged to near 100 points. I remember one was difficult to cheat on as the test was created as a series of exercises which would be randomly created, even after dozens of attempts I never scored less/more than +/-2 of 153

anyone interested, this is the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (you can click this as a link), considered by many scientists in the field to be THE best single measurement of 'general intelligence' (which IQ tests claim to measure also but not as accurately as the raven's). just fill in some random name after Nombre and your age after Edad and post your score here, i will provide a more up-to-date norming scale for percentile calculation as well, because the ones that site uses are not adjusted for the Flynn effect.


the 17-18 range should be applied to all that are above age 18.

Though it's not the first time I'm doing it, so I don't know how much it can count. Then again today I've got the flu.

So something like the 95-99th percentile I guess.

okay, i have been taking some tests i found online, the results were: raven's progressive matrices : 55/90 (around 90th percentile), Mensa test based on raven's method : 108 (around 70th percentile), a more general test with a mix of questions from all sorts of abilities : 135 (99th percentile i think?) another test which might not be very reliable : 110, a test i took a while ago : 99, another test i took was about 120 i seem to remember, and yet another was again between 130 and 135.. Sigh. these online tests are SO all over the place. *edit* i remember also now my "official" IQ testing at age 13 = IQ 112, a mensa test online in 2001 = IQ 114, another online test, also about 114 (it seems my IQ as a teenager was about 110-115 ie. between 75th and 80th percentile or so.

On the basis of averaging 3-4 internet tests - about which I have a fair amount of scepticism - it comes in at around 130-140.

The last proper test said 148.
The last Internet tests, averaged, said 164.

Holy disparity, Batman.
