What is your IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

I've only had one IQ test. Mine is 120.

Oh, by the way, your IQ can change.

My official IQ is 150+

Yeah, I've noticed most of you are way above normal! How do you live with yourselves!! !?! !
My I.Q. is 119.
I scored well in the verbal part, but really low in other areas. When asked what number comes next in a certain sequence of numbers, every answer was, "Uh, I don't know."
I felt pretty stupid by the end of the test, and so was surprised when I got the results.

I've done a few tests over the last 25 years or so and my score was consistently between 142 and 145. Then I took two different online tests: one said 133 and the other said 164. Something tells me the online tests are a waste of time.

Mine is around the 150-155 mark... tests vary.

One of the things that has always bugged my parents and friends is how some one so much smarter and on paper more capapble is basically bumming around going no where. I used to wonder why every one was so concerned, I was happy, but when working as people expected I was unhappy...

Now I know.

Likewise, When drunk I get about 130-140 on tests.... Still pretty amazing. I remember as a kid (35 now) pretending to be stupid along with my friends, obviously seeing the solution to some thing they were strugling with, ut not wanting to show how easy it was for me, kids don;t like smart asses..

neither do adults, in my experience

I did mensa tests that put me in the 99th percentile - not sure what that translates to in IQ points.

The IQ is usually set by the age of 8 -9. For there to be dramatic changes usually there are other factors such as emotional issues, trauma, inappropriate education ect..
Mine is 143. My older daughter 154, younger daughter 137.

Well, I used to be a member of Mensa (I let my membership lapse some years ago, there did not seem a lot of point to it and there seemed to be very few other members in the area where I lived)
I too was put in the 99th percentile with a score of 168. (They explained that "99th percentile" means that your score would be higher than 99% of the population in general) . Now, while that sounds very high, I have to admit I am not sure exactly what these tests measure, as there could be many characteristics that contribute to our concept of what "intelligence" is.
My Mensa tests (there were two) took place quite a long time ago (I am probably older than a lot of people on WrongPlanet!). I dont even know whether Mensa still uses the same system. Also, I am not very knowlegible about different types of intelligence testing: could a person score very differently if assessed by different methods?

Between 111-130.

Last OFFICIAL IQ test (ie set when I was diagnosed) was 130. And your IQ can increase, up to the age of 16.... I was diagnosed at 10. So its probably higher. i've taken several ones on my own, and its gone between 136 and 210... I dunno where I got the 210, but I doubt thats right. it seems to normally come out similar to vetiverts, at 150+

/me impressed. . . . .

According to recent WAIS, verbal was 145; spatial (performance) was about 120. I guess you can average that out to around 133.

Not a lot of Mensa members around here, but I joined a few years ago based on SAT scores. In 2001, I spoke at the Annual Gathering in Dallas. Mostly a nice bunch of people.

Now there are tests of emotional intelligence going around. I haven't tried them but feel that I wouldn't do so well because of lack of understanding of social cues and the little white lies people tell to each other.

Quite a few people have got annoyed with me in the past because they can't understand why I would score highly on an intelligence test but not be able to call a repairman to fix something that is broken in my house, phone for information, apply for jobs (except through writing) and have many other instances of executive dysfunction.

Their attititude was "if you're so smart, why can't you do things that everybody else finds simple?". Well, now I realise that everybody else doesn't find them easy, particularly if they have AS too.
