Never been properly tested and I doubt online tests have any validity when the validity of the 'proper' tests themselves is highly questionable. The mensa practice one seems most difficult of the online ones though, I average around 140 there
the fact all our scores seem so high delegitimizes these tests though to my mind

People who would score <100 are (1) probably less likely to do those tests for fun and (2) will likely not report in this thread.

true. I'm pretty average at pattern recognition and such, but score really high on the spatial thinking/word problems portions which makes sense given my hobbies

Last time I did one of those tests I was pretty stoned and it was one of them online thingies. I don't remember the score exactly (it was somewhere around 130), but I don't have much confidence in them. Given that score and the reliability of these online tests and the slack methodology, my actual IQ may be anywhere between 115 and 145, which says fuck all really. And even if it is accurate, it tells only a small part of the story of success or failure in one's life. Which is why I think all IQ scores reported in this thread are about as informative as a piece of used toilet paper.

Every 10-20 question IQ test I took online says 180 or higher, I'm fucking brilliant

Do you really think your iq is 170? Just curious




No clue; I was tested in junior high.

In order to be accurate it would need to be the average of multiple tests, anyway.

I'm not sure what question(s) differentiate 150 from 170 on the test, for example.

If it is relatively few then luck could account for the difference.

I don't really care, anyway -- again, I don't think it is a realistic measure of intelligence.

For each category: pattern recognition, logical reasoning, classification, etc., you could improve your scores through practice.

The tests also have questions that factor in existing knowledge.

Since I read about math and science, built circuits and programmed in BASIC and Hypercard in my free time starting around age 7 or so, I would probably have an advantage.

I don't put much stock into those types of things. It is not this simple, but for the sake of argument there are two basic ways to be intelligent. One is book smart, the other is street smart. Very few people excel (rise far above "average") at both. For the most part, it's one or the other.




Definitely agree with this. I never accomplished 1 thing from 'book-smarts', as I don't have much. I got all my intelligence through street-smarts. I learned how to 'coax' people ('manipulate' is an ugly word) & have used that my entire life to acquire things, go places, meet others, etc, etc.
Schools (high schools especially) should have courses to prepare the kids for the trials & tribulations of 'life'. Learning a bunch of facts & figures doesn't prepare kids for the real world at all. There should be courses about everyday life & how to get people to do things for you & like doing it...because being able to coax others into doing your chores, getting your shit done, & the entire time not minding helping you out...is really where it's at ("I got 2 turntables & a microphone!").

I took a "real" IQ test, administered by somebody trained in tests and measures.  It took about two hours.  It involved computer work, pencil and paper and manipulation of 3-D objects.  It costs hundreds of dollars which was paid for by insurance.  It was a neat experience.

edit - It also took a while to get the score because scoring a real IQ test requires the integration of the person's background and culture, etc which takes time.

When I was younger I had problems in school, and emotional problems at home, so I had to go do a number of tests at a psych doc, did a few tests and was told my IQ was 135, that I was not dumb but bored and depressed.

don't know, I had to take one before in school and it was above average but that was when I was 16.
An IQ test is just one way out of countless to quantify intelligence, while it's a useful indicator, it's far from the end all be all.

Those tests don't mean much that's just two dimensional spatial processing like Tetris. Not comprehensive as a measurement of a test of overall higher informational processing. That's a vague and useless definition of "intelligence" but this topic isn't a real science anyways





Hmmmm.....a raven's matrix isn't a two dimensional object.  :wink:

They have to certain properties to be solvable, I think they are commutative rings that are associated with fields that have equations with complex coefficients. 

Now, I haven't proven it yet.....  :grin:

For more information you should look at the algebra of groups, rings, and fields to understand how wrong you are.  So I disagree.

But I know where you are coming from since really they don't know what the hell they are measuring.

All properties that are measured are, or can be, defined by the tests that measure them.  There is no other way to know anything besides knowing how to measure it.

When I was 9 years old I got a 136 on the IQ test. I took the SATs cold turkey and got a 1910 (out of 2400) on it (bumped it up to a 2170 after enrolling in a test prep course). But I have done nothing significant with my life. I feel that intelligence can only get you so far. Hard work and motivation (which I lack) are what make someone successful.

Funny, I feel the opposite.  Hard work and motivation are a suckers game that will only get you exploited if you are not smart enough.  Hard work is overrated.

The only people who don't work hard yet are successful are either lucky fucks or have acquired their success immorally

On the ground you lay, with your dogs you pray, at a neon hieroglyph sky you gaze

Hugging your mind, praying to survive, feeling the love of the hieroglyphs in the sky
We all need more love, and mainly less hate
Hate is the blind that covers the heart's eye
That makes the heart's eye cry
Locked deep away in the skies of our minds

It's all in the mind
