how high is your IQ?

A test I once took said 120.

But that test was very easy, and chances are very inaccurate.

I'd say 100-110.

About 4 years ago my IQ was 189, but it doesn't mean anything except I was able to answer many standardized questions correctly.MotherSuperior

1. I'm too lazy to take the test.

I doubt it, I think you underestimate yourself.

I disagree, but thank you anyway.

I don't trust IQ tests, especially ones on the internet.

Seconded.

I've taken like four tests, all online. I would be skeptical about their accuracy either because of their poor design, or that they'd intentionally give people higher scores, so they'd show off to other people, and increase site traffic. My results always seem to be around 140-145 though. There seems to be some precision there, so I'm confident that they're accurate as well. That and a lifetime of feedback that says the same. Unfortunately I detest school, so my intelligence mostly goes to waste.

Over 200... seriously.

Actually you can garner quite a lot from an IQ test. Professionaly conducted IQ tests are quite a good measurement of intelligence.

A 190 IQ would make you significantly more intelligent than Einstein. It would make you more intelligent than Stephen Hawking.

Which is why, I'm sorry, I believe you are misinformed. I'm not calling you unintelligent, but I really doubt that you have an IQ of 189. That would literally make you probably one of the five thousand most intelligent people to have ever lived.

I don't know, but honestly, IQ tests are ridiculous.

The IQ formula is intellectual age/real age. This is silly, because my IQ when I was 8 or 9 was probably much higher than it is now. Also, I think that to objectively measure intelligence is almost impossible with our current understanding of the human brain. A comprehensive IQ test would cost millions of dollars and require equipment we haven't even invented yet.

Furthermore, there are many forms of intelligence. I do believe there is a general g-factor, which may be linked to the efficiency of neural circuitry, but some people are really good at certain intellectual activities and not others. For instance, I scored an 800 on the reading comprehension portion of the SAT but only a 710 in math. I've always struggled with math. If you were to ask me to draw anything, I would fail horribly since my visual-spatial skills are subpar.

Both the validity and reliability of IQ tests are questionable at best, and the whole concept of "intelligence" creates an artificial dichotomy of a very complex trait.

3 years ago it was 138, real test, not some internet crap. Perfect score on the math section. (I was actually in a short term psychiatric hospital when they decded to test me) It would have been higher but I am borderline retarded in one language section. (don't mod me that is the actual term) and that wasn't just a fluke from that one test. It's showed up on all three IQ tests that I have taken. Unfortunatly my bipolar (II) and anxiety seem to offset it somewhat.

By the way, was the IQ test you took online?

FlyingArmbar

Yep, it was on Tickle

No offense, but online IQ tests are very innacurate. Unless, of course, I really do have an IQ of 150.

Yeah I got 150 something too when I took one. I wish I was that smart.

and so I don't get modded ......

I DON'T REALLY HAVE A CLUE ???? !!!!

I don't trust intelligence tests. Like I've told people, I don't need a test to tell me I'm intelligent when I already feel that I am. And like Bluebird TS said, there is no way to completely and accurately measure a persons intelligence.

OVER 9000!!!!

gotdangit

LOL

Never took an IQ test. Which is fine, I don't need a number attached to my intelligence, I feel good about it as it is.

you´re right, you don´t. And bluebirdTS is quite right, but that´s mostly because there are varying standardizations, hence substantiating the whole "completely" argument, since IQs are not measured in a uniform way.

But they are reliable within their own psychometric rights when it comes to measuring intelligence, just not kinesthetics, intra nor interpersonal intelligence amongst others. Biggest problem, as i see it, is that when i got my IQ surveyed and measured, it was with the standardaversion of value 15, where others abide to the standardaversion of 16. The problems ensuing are apparent.

OT is filled with geniuses.

Don't know. I think I was around 136 if I remember correctly. I'm not sure....

Wait what the hell? Why was this thread bumped from May?

Can't say I've ever taken one, I'm curious to what it would be though.

DURRRRRR HURRRRRR DERRRRR....

*Ahem* yeah.

Haven't ever taken a legitimate IQ test. So, I don't know what my IQ is. If only those interwebz ones were accurate. Then I'd be as smart as Albert Einstein!! (it even said so at the end of the test :P)

Yep, this is one of the harder IQ tests: http://www.highiqsociety.org/iq_tests/Famiking

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. :P Still slightly above average though. ;)

I've never taken an IQ test.

12 or so.
