What's your IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

The third time taking the Spanish Raven test I got a 110.

The harder matrix one I scored a 107 on my first try.

I normally get 80-90 on online tests and have even scored mentally ret*d on an online test. I really doubt online tests are skewed higher to make you want to buy the results because I score better on a real test than most online ones!

109 and it took me a lot of spine to say that. I guess that I am a drumhead.

109 is supposed to be above average; more people score below you than above you if that's your score.

As far as I know, I've never taken a real IQ test. Sometimes I wonder what I'd score, but since IQ is such a problematic concept, as others on this thread have pointed out, I kind of like the fact that I haven't taken one.

Yeah, I bet it's like how most taller-than-average people would feel if they hung out with basketball players.

On the other hand, IQ also doesn't say all that much about you. abuend said hers was 85 and I think a lot of people would call her very smart.

I'll know for sure once I have an official test in a couple months. All I know is my true IQ is probably within a couple points from DH's, as we're extremely well matched when it comes to anything intellectual. (Actually we're well matched on pretty much everything else, too.) His is around 140.

I once scored 88 on BBC Test the Nation. I cannot for the life of me do a tv-based IQ test!

I tested 111 at school, but I was depressed and exhausted.

My recently tested IQ is 122. I did that test drunk.

I've scored 130-143 over the years, depending on which test I've taken and whether anyone else is around; I consistently screw up when I'm being observed.

I just took one online (found it on Google so I don't know how reliable it really is) and scored 132. There were 3 questions I remember getting wrong but only realising after I'd put in the wrong answer - having said that, I don't know how they work out the points for time left, so perhaps if I'd taken longer to be sure of my answer, I would have lost more points for doing so than I would have gained for getting the right answer. The problem with IQ tests is the testing criteria; for example, in the test I just took, I know that I got every word-based question right. I've been writing all my life. The number-based questions took me longer, because 1) I was never quite as good at maths as I was at language, and 2) I've not used numbers properly for a few years. I haven't had to. I could feel my brain working immensely slowly and just not grasping answers that, when I took a similar entrance test to a school at 11, came to me in a flash.

I'm also certain that if I took the test every day, I'd become 'more intelligent,' even if they asked different questions, as long as they were of the same nature. I'm certain I could work my way up to at least 160. So it's a little hard to gauge somebody's intelligence by any given test. Also different racial groups score differently - black people score lower than white on average in standard IQ tests, but when given newer more creative-minded tests they score much higher. I'm not sure what that means for me, being half of each

I was tested at least three times, when I was five, eight, and sixteen. (I'm now almost 30.) They tested me so much because they wanted to know what was "wrong" with me-- why I appeared so intelligent but had tantrums all the time and no grasp of social rules. I wasn't diagnosed until I was a young adult.

My IQ is about 140-150. Score results varied between the three tests, but it was always within that range. Interestingly, while my verbal was through the roof (higher than the 140-150 range) my nonverbal was about average. Makes sense, as I have a pronounced talent for languages and no mechanical aptitude whatsoever.

If you have over 130, I expect you to be a member of Mensa.

Really, the internet IQ tests mean nothing at all, they're all just to make you feel like you're intelligent. I really doubt that everyone here is in the 98th percentile in IQ.

Is it just NTs who are allowed to not care about IQs? Can you be ASD and not care? To me, they are meaningless numbers. Doesn't have anything to do with my life. It's just a test score out of many test scores I have received throughout my life. It's funny, everytime I take an exam I receive some sort of score. Most have little impact on my existence.

The most important scores were on my GED, not IQ tests, anyway.
