    Yeah that's an actual home-test that's sent out, I applied for it anyways. But are there any websites that will measure IQ online? I've googled it but most of the sites seem a bit spammy...

    I did one IQ test on a site and when I completed it, it said "OK, click here for your results!", so I clicked and on the next page they asked me for $9.95. Me bollix!

    I don't there are. I've done a few and have been given 95 and 138 on the same day. I think you internet speed would effect your result and tbh, I dont IQ is more than a number, because you can train yourself to better your results.

    QFT. If you take the same "IQ Test" a few times you can very easily divine patterns that will likely give you a higher IQ score - it becomes more a measure of how familiar you are with that kind of test than your actual innate intelligence.

    It always amazes me that 95% of people on the internet have,according to these tests,near genius level intelligence, the irony being that these "masterminds" don't even realise this.. If the average I.Q. is 100 then well,do I need to elaborate.....?

    I found one once that didn't charge IIRC. I can't find the email they sent me tho'. It said mine was 130 (with a ± of 3) which was "borderline genius" :eek: I told my 'friend' the next day and she sneered that "it's dead easy to cheat on those things" :confused:

    From what I can remember the score was based on your age, gender, how many answers were correct and how fast you completed the test. I guessed all the maths based ones :D
