Too much scatter for mine to be scored

How do I get an IQ test? Can I take one online for free?

I'd assume most of the people posting had theirs done at the time of their autism evaluations. Online ones will not be reliable as the purpose of IQ tests is/shouldn't be to actually measure your intelligence, just to pinpoint strengths/weakness and how they relate to one another.

Mine was extrapolated by at least two educators based on my elementary- and middle-school annual tests, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Master of Social Work candidate based on the MMPI and other psychological tests in high school. Extrapolated IQs aren't very accurate, but, because at least four individuals who were unknown to each other concluded approximately the same score, I trust it. The few online IQ tests I have completed concur with the individuals' conclusions.

I paid $215.00 to an educational psychologist to get mine tested.

Looks like we have some geniuses here... :0
Mine's 118 verbal and 98 logic.
I would have guessed it would be the other way around..

102. Most of that is from reading and writing skills. I get tested yearly.

144

Was told I was gifted verbally, but all I've done was win arguments or manipulate others. I would rather not do that sometimes.

I had a certain vibe of this coming. On the general school entry exam my parents reported that I had atleast of an IQ over 130. I am pretty interestested in seeing that score again but this was back in 1998 and seeing something higher on myself may be a good ego booster on myself.

I had recently taken another one to apply for SSDI, which later got the IQ of 104. Then I gotten obsessed that other people were fining ways to effect my intelligence and turned out I was right, by something I had found out that others were trying to uptain cheap labor from me.

Then I found out I had some exeptional abilities and generally gotten into some inerest.

Now I am desperate of finding that information again, along with that old IQ score. Despite those constant threates people are giving me when I try to beak of of this world people are placing me in.

It's driving me mad, I need something!

Any help I would appreciate BTW

I hate IQ tests. You take the test in an atmosphere of anxiety as if they are judging your entire worth and destiny...
My score was 144 and I skipped the anagrams.
The second time I took it, I got a 124 and skipped a lot of language-type questions.
My best score is in spatial reasoning... Despite the fact that i always bump into things and can't draw anything. The first test I was probably 10, the second test was when I probably 12.
I really don't want to deal with another test.

An individual's IQ score may roughly be determined by extrapolating the raw results of tests which aren't designed to determine the individual's IQ score directly (such as the MMPI , the AFSVAB, the SAT and the ACT, among many others). My own IQ score was extrapolated by two psychological professionals from two different MMPI results and by an educator from my annual public-school test results (I think it was a variant of the SAT). I always admit that my IQ score is "about 145" because I amn't certain about the accuracy of the extrapolations even if they were confirmed by three independent professionals.

In other words, don't put too much faith into any one IQ score especially if it is determined by extrapolating other results. Without completing an actual IQ test, an extrapolated score is just an educated guess. After all, some IQ tests are visual, some are verbal, some tests only use abstract-reasoning problems, and some tests concentrate on arithmetic, spatial imagery, reading, vocabulary, memory or general knowledge.

In your specific case, I would suspect that your second IQ score was extrapolated from a multiphasic test like the MMPI (correct me if I am wrong). The disparity between your first and second scores suggests to me that the second score was extrapolated from a test that isn't normally useful for IQ scoring. Another reason for the disparity could be that an IQ test factor (visual, verbal, etc.) simply didn't reflect your real IQ score accurately.

In the end, it is possible for you to pay for an actual IQ test (the University of Utah, or other college, testing center can arrange one for you) for about $200-300 (maybe less). Carb up the day and morning before the test, add a single cup of coffee and scream through the test as best you can. :D
