What is your IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

My IQ is 107.


Hooray, I'm average!

**fist bump**

Hooray for average, non-genius Aspies!!

What's my IQ? Irrelevant.

Research shows that people with Asperger's do better on Raven's matrices.

Not quite.

I think IQs are things best left to the imagination - meaning, I think people should keep their IQ scores between themselves and whoever gave them the test. People will only think you're trying to brag if your score is high - and if it's low I don't know what they'll think. Plus, in my experience, people don't often believe you when you say your IQ, and want proof and all that.

I also don't think that IQ scores really matter - how can a test possibly tell someone how intelligent they are? I've had multiple ones done, both as a child and as an adult. I don't think they matter at all - I may have great intelligence in some areas, but I -know- I am not very intelligent as others. Many things that others would consider "common sense", I fail to do/notice/whatever.

Also, internet tests give me all sorts of different results - I consider them very unreliable. Even my official, in person, paper/computer tests have fluctuated in score.

I agree that IQ isn't that important, and tests give various results. This thread is not for bragging, just comparing.

When I was a kid I was considerred a genius. I don't know what happened lol. In collge I tested at around 138-142. My guess is that after having 2 kids my attention is shot and I would score in the low 130s, high 120s. However, I don't believe it means anything at all. I don't have the attention span to be a high acheiver and I'm terrible at math. Honestly, it's just a number based on how well I can solve tricky little puzzles and find patterns, which I am pretty good at...

I got 115 on the Danish one that was posted here earlier.

I used to score much higher a few years back, but back then I hadn't yet become an alcoholic, heheh.

Good thing I stopped while I still have SOME of my wits about me..!

107 on the test provided, which is Raven's Progressive Matrices. Be aware that this test measures spatial reasoning, and therefore will overestimate IQ if you have PIQ>VIQ and underestimate it if you have VIQ>PIQ. I have the latter pattern, on a more verbal-heavy test I get 137.

Good point, I like the more varied tests actually, I found myself missing the old "Glove is to hand as hat is to ____________"

What's nice about the mixed tests also is that they usually give you a breakdown of the areas at the end, how you scored in each field, like spatial reasoning, verbal understanding, math etc.

That's an extremely low IQ...

I took an online IQ test while brain dead and got 145. Actual IQ tests say I'm 130.

Care to explain how to actually get that sum? The (-1)^k is totally throwing me off; the thing blips from positive to negative and you have to decide which one is increasing faster. And then there's the random factorials... Seriously, how the heck do you come up with the idea that the whole mess equals one over pi?

I didn't even bother to evaluate the power series. It was probably constructed from another series that equals 1/pi using identities.
