    Is there any damn site out there where I DON'T have to pay for the f****** result of my test !? I'm getting really aggressive with all these stupid sites ... and I don't need a test to tell me I'm neither dumb nor intelligent. I have good looks, that's all that counts - my hair rocks ! :D

    Fred

    [EDIT] This is pathetic - I got 142 on iqtest.com, which, according to them puts me in this range : Highly gifted and appearing to be a Genius to most others: 136 - 145

    O.k. so if I'm that great, how come I don't have a proper school degree ? How come I can only study at a university of applied sciences and not at a proper university ? How come I never get anything better than a C in my tests ? How come I find it really hard to memorize things I need to learn for school/uni ? 142 ... yeah right ... [insert wanking smilie HERE]

    I've taken a bunch of IQ tests and answers have varied from 110 to 154. They are statistically unreliable and a poor measure of intelligence. Personally I think common sense is a much better trait, doesn't matter if you've got an IQ of 200+, if you dont look before you cross the road you'll end up as evolutionary history :hip:

    148.

    Thats a poor IQtest. There is nowhere near enough substance and its far too reliant upon maths.

    I've done an official mensa test and gotten 145 though so its still close ;)

    incidentily im starting my second university degree next year so I must have something up there at least :eyebrow:

    I took a real one (not an online one) back when I was about 10. My parents took me because they knew I was smart but I wasn't meeting their expectations in school (All A's). I scored a 178, so they said my "low" grades were because I was bored in the classes (I don't even remember if I was, tbh). I refused to be promoted to a higher grade (didn't want to leave my friends), so I've been in "Honors" or "Gifted & Talented" classes ever since.

    A year ago, I took a test and was accepted into Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. I took the test only because I wanted to see what my score was (I wasn't planning on going there, it would be too much of a hassle and the friends thing, again). The problem with my public high school, is they won't let me take the higher classes w/out taking the normal classes for my grade level (they won't even let me take a test to see if I know the material, like you can with languages).

    Sorry about rambling on, just felt like b*tching at my school system with all the tests we're having to take (AP exams, SOL's, finals, etc). And also the fact that we don't get out untill June 18 (the rumor is that we start so much later than the rest of the country b/c of the local amusment park :p).

    lol i took the bbc iqtest last night and got 112(after starting it about halfway through the program i was finished before it was(was doing it online)) and just there i did the iqtest.com one (in 8 minutes :D) and scored 156... something fishy is going on :eyebrow: - i was disappointed after lastnights result so todays has cheered me up again but its annoying when you get questions about currency you don't even use (nickels+dimes) i was lucky to have just been in canada otherwise i'd not have had a clue.

    just to surmise don't trust the test results unless you are tested properly...

    according to www.iqtest.com
    i have 143 !

    If I have to believe them, then I am a :
    Highly gifted and appearing to be a Genius to most others:

    but I didn't understand the questions about ounces, penny's, quarters..

    so Maybe I could have gotten 146 ; then (to them) I would be a Genius


    wow , I think they are pretty wrong with that ! :)
