I did different (professional) tests, the lowest I ever got was 129 (for maths), the highest 150- but it might be higher because I answered all the questions correctly.

What is your IQ?

I have been tested twice and both times scored in the 160 range. I don't like to talk about it since most people don't believe me or ask me some stupid math question or something. IQ is far from a perfect measurement of intelligence anyways.

I used to take IQ tests for fun and have done many, both short and long, professional ones and ones meant only for fun.
I have not done any in a professional setting though, just on my own.

The lowest score I've gotten is 127, the highest 141.

The 141 score was on one of the more serious ones, but I don't remember which one specifically.

Where online can I find a good free iq test with no strings attached?

I consider my intelligence to be just about average. In IQ tests, however, I score fairly well (in the 130 range).

I say that I'm of average intelligence because, even though, "-hey! I can solve those funky visual puzzle riddles in the IQ tests pretty dern quick", I find myself struggling on some points in life, though excelling on others. Like, I don't find myself particularly creative or good at improvisation. Those two traits, I would think, are essential factors to take into consideration when measuring one's intelligence, yet none of the tests I've taken properly test them.

Also, I often find that when I'm following a conversation or following instructions, I sometimes don't immediately understand what's being said... Sometimes it takes a while before the understanding comes. So in that respect, I'm slow on the uptake.
The area where I'm quick on the uptake, is soaking up knowledge from things like encyclopaedias, books, etc. Very, very good at that. Comprehension is almost always instantaneous. However, due to lack of interest, I haven't exactly trained my brain in that field for the last 15 or so years. But whenever I pick up a book, I just soak. Like a sponge.

Related to the above, I'm also not witty in my replies, and I sometimes find it hard t respond to jokes people make.

So yeah, I'd much rather there were an IQ test that would determine my IQ to be 100. I would find that a very reliable test, instead of the ones that have given me 127, 131, 134, 147(!).

I'll never tell. I'm ashamed of my IQ after seeing some of the others with much higher IQ's than me.

I'm guessing (120,140). I'm pretty good at matrices and logic but not when it comes to anything dealing with vocab.

I like this one:

http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf

I retook it and maxed out at 133. I was dissociated at the time and didn't have the brain power to solve the checkered one. Although I'm pretty sure if I was sober I could do it. I feel like I missed a couple questions because I find patterns they aren't looking for.

Oh dear, I just did that one and only scored 110. I was tired and not really concentrated though. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

I tried that one, but it froze half way through, I pressed send anyway and got 110.

Had one administered to me, 118. (105 verbal, 140+ non-verbal)

The online IQ tests i took all gave a much higher number.

Hmm well that was an interesting test in that link.

118, must have been one of my better moments today, or i just got a lot of them right by accident. They do say to choose a random one if you arent sure instead of not answering.

Definitely the exception i would get that high. i seem to recall one many years ago where i got like 70 or something. 75.
