Does anyone know their IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, I don't know about this. I kind of seem to have autism/Asperger's, I got 121 out of 200 Auspie and 90 out of 200 NT score on that test. However, I got a good score on that IQ test. Also, I have a very good working memory, despite that I certainly have other ADHD traits (to the point that I'm visibly different from the people around me). So I don't know, just give it a try.

sycophant.

always a disclaimer is available to be used by people who do not mean what they say.




i find it amusing to witness people making claims that are ridiculous. i read this thread because i am dumbfounded at the claims made by some posters, and i can only find it entertaining.

i do not believe anyone who quotes their IQ based on solely their quote.

people infer their IQ is high in so many ways. the mark of a mind is to say what is compelling to listen to. not to bugle their test scores and demand undeserved attention.


no one can aspire to omniscience. to dream that you can is to be deluded and also stupid. the smarter you are, the more you realize that your capacity for self contrived universal assembly is mortal and it is not worth spending energy in questioning the motives of causation.


you have a negative essence to you i think. you like to prove people wrong. you think you are smarter because of it. you are not as smart as you want me to believe.

the rest of what you said to me i will delete because i am tired and i am headed toward beautiful slumber which i can not resist.

I knew a guy with a high IQ, but he was still an idiot. I realized that what he had in fact was a fast processor and a good memory. Not much in the way of creative thought or wisdom though.

According to the number of people with 140+ IQ here, I think that most of them just took bad tests. I'd like to see how would they score on the one I provided.

I give up on this test, too many questions I can't answer, I'm stupid like that.

There are some bad tests out there!
You should take into account however that generally people who use the Internet forums (as opposed to chat rooms and crap like that) are smarter then the average. Also, aspies are smarter then NTs.

I took a whole slew of IQ tests on the Internet just to verify their accuracy.

Surprisingly enough, in 5 out of 7 tests I've scored 130-135, which is pretty much the same as the score I got from my psychologist. The others where 106 and 142...

It's a very long test. I tried doing it late last night but by the time I was 3/4 of the way through, it was 3 am and I was falling asleep. I clicked through the last dozen or so questions without answering them to get you a bit of an answer, and that resulted in a score of 145, but I don't know what my score would have been had I answered all of the questions.

130 I'm rather suprised considering I abandonned before the end and that the questions were fiendish. Maybe it was only a lucky shot.

131

I put 25 as my age as I know these are scaled for greater age.


The last 10 questions I clicked the same position answer to just get this ardous test over. The probability was getting the last 10 wrong and I still came up with 131.


Usually if you miss only a few of these fluid intelligence type questions, it at least puts you "down out of the gifted range.

If you try the popular DK test and you will see this: http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf

128 on this.

140 on this: http://www.etienne.se/cfnse/ untimed one. This one is supposed to be the gold standard.

I've never had my IQ tested.

I do have a question for you guys with the high IQ's.

What is your income level? Are you making a living in a creative type of business, such as being a writer or musician? Are you multi-millionaires or run successful businesses?

As far as I'm concerned, making good grades at school, and memorizing a bunch of facts, has little to do with *real* intelligence. I remember how all the kids in school who made straight A's on their report card were considered smart. I disagree. It just means they are good at memorizing facts, not that they are necessarily good or above average at applying info they've learned into real life situations. What makes someone intelligent is what he or she does with the info they've learned. Do IQ tests somehow actually measure that ability?

I knew of a guy who couldn't even read or write, but he was a millionaire who made his money in the construction business. I would consider someone like that a genius despite their lack of formal education.

Construction!? *cough**cough* He's probably a frontman for some mobster. See my first comment at your post...

is your post a joke or is english not your native language ?

This is like saying "for me a good swimmer is not someone who can swim quickly many miles without getting tired; a good swimmer is someone who can paint beatiful portraits".

Actually, IQ is correlated to income, according to some research. This doesn't mean that everyone with high IQ has a high income, but that there is a better chance that they do. You can find the documents somewhere on the Internet.

However, for sometings that I have read, I think these correlation largely disappear (or even becomes negative) if you control for academic achievment. In other words, what happens is that:

- high IQ people tend to have more academic qualifications
- people with more academic qualifications tend to have more income
- within people with the same academic qualifications, IQ does not affect income

[This are things that I read in the net, I am not sure if this is true]

He's probably just a troll.
