    Your age adjusted IQ score is 135 and the average score for all test takers is 100.

    Your Grade ** Gifted **

    Well done! Your score was within three standard deviations of the mean score (top 2.27% of the population). Anyone with a general IQ this high is considered to be gifted. You have the ability to think critically, conceptualize ideas and form your own conclusions. Your ability to think in patterns and to produce order out of chaos enables you to handle complexities and see logic in everything. Needless to say you are self-aware of your abilities and have the brains for all known occupations. If you think of intelligence as the ability to adapt easily to new situations then you are at the top of the charts.

    I know a boardsie that's a real smart a**! Very gifted in that regard. At least 3 standard deviations above the mean!

    This bears so little comparison to an IQ test that I'd be suprised if it didn't turn up as a bebo widget in the near future.

    You'd think that someone with a high IQ would realise that it's impossible to measure intelligence accurately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    Online IQ tests are not much use, you'll get a different result on practically every one you do. I've also done two "proper" IQ tests, (i.e. sitting in an exam room with a supervisor using pen and paper) and got two different scores on the two tests

    anyway... i got 126


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,095 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    A high score in IQ tests simply means that you are good at IQ tests. I could always get a higher score than my husband, even though I left education at 17 with nothing very much, and he had a Masters by the time he was 22. I had done IQ tests at school though, but he hadn't.

    I don't know whether there's any value in iq tests, but there's a world of difference between intelligence and education.....

    You can train a horse to give the correct answer to 2+3, but it doesn't mean it knows what it means


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    IQ tests aside from being racist, aside from being very unusual, aside from the fact you can go up and down 20 points due to how you are feeling, are pretty inaccurate. But they can give you a general guide.

    Paradox in that statement surely! ;)

    There has been ongoing criticism of IQ testing, not least cultural bias.

    Worth throwing in here is the concept of EQ.

    Your Grade ** Above Average **

    Well done! Your score was above average and within two standard deviations of the mean score (top 85 to 97.73% of the population) Typically, people with scores in this range can see logic in their surroundings and perform very well academically. You like to conceptualize ideas and gather your own information which means that you have the brains to go far. You should be able to handle all academic challenges and if you think of intelligence as an ability to adapt adequately to new situations then you are heading in the right direction.

    Not so bad, considering I drank a bottle of scotch last night and I'm starving right now. No hangover though so I'm happy.:D

    if it's quite possible for a person to get all the questions right is the test not inherently flawed?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    IQ tests online are pretty crappy, full ones have to be done live, and even then it's just rough. Most online quizs have questions that aren't even applicable to IQ.

    Could that test have been easier?
    It might be a bit flawed as the max score is lower than my supposed iq...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 404 ✭✭DemocAnarchis


    Yeah, the only way to score about 140 is to be aged under 18, and the max score if you give your age as 8 is 160. Then again, specific tests have to be done for anything in that range.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    You do realise that this test gives you all such stupidly high scores because they try to sell you crap based on it? Ooh, would you like this lovely certificate showing how gullible you are for a nominal fee?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    Anyone who takes this is a seriously IQ test has an IQ < 70


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Did the other one on that page that has 40 something quetions. Got em all right and got 140, but know I have to buy their certificate :s. Ah wasting time...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    No he's right. I haven't done the test so I don't know if it's the same... but all the IQ tests I've ever done online, and claimed I had a higher IQ than the IQ I know that I have, have all offered me a certificate stating so... for a small fee.

    Those 'test your iq' things for Mensa always had at least one more possible answer than the one they gave, I always assumed they would wait for people to write in pointing this out and then say - wow you really do have a high IQ, you really should join Mensa!

    Big Deal. My IQ is 124.(said in my best Stephen Hawkings voice) Don't believe in it much though. Some of the questions were based on quotes, how does that measure intelligence?
    Teletext told me it was 141 when I was 9 though, I believe that one :)

    Just found what I am...



    You are equipped with a verbal arsenal that enables you to understand complex issues and communicate on a particularly high level, making you a Word Warrior. Your command of words is so powerful that you are also a terrific communicator -- able to articulate big ideas to just about anyone.

    The power of words translates to fresh ideas off paper too, in both artistic and creative pursuits. This allows you to be a visionary -- to extrapolate and come up with a multitude of fresh ideas.


    I am a word warrior. Hehe, must remember that one.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    I do think they are pretty good at identifying which type of thing you are good at, for instance, I always get better results in logic than language. Although this test is somewhat limited, as I was restricted by my linguistic ability in not knowing what a hexagon was :) Beyond that though, it's gets questionable.

    i've done those aptitude test things that test verbal reasoning/spatial awareness/mathematical ability/abstract reasoning etc and tbh they didn't tell me what areas I was better at- because I scored close to the 100th percentile in all areas.

    note the way i'm (not so) cleverly implying i'm a genius also :p

    Your IQ score is 129!
    Insightful Linguist

    You are gifted with the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. Insightful linguists can take complex concepts and articulate them to just about anyone. You have a gift with words and an insight into processes and the way people think.

    These talents enable you to explain things clearly to people as you can conceptualise ideas internally and understand patterns on an abstract level.

    Woo Hoo, me smart i am....
