It's a completely retarded concept and I could make up a test that is supposed to measure the vague and very subjective concept of "general intelligence" and it would be equally as INvalid as anyone else who designed a test to measure such a vague subjective thing
There's your answer

It was tested as 140 when I was 9 years old
Also anyone who believes in the concept of iq being a real objective concept is probably just fascinated with the idea of intelligence and neuropsychology andwants to create a tool to oversimplify and quantify aspects of these things. Or, just scored high on some test and andwants to make themselves feel smart and important when they are neither

There's no accurate measure for such a broad concept. In fact, such a broad concept is not even an accurate way to perceive how intelligence works.
A test taking savant will score amazingly high on the test, but is only intelligent at taking tests... Most IQ tests spend 25% of the questions on English grammar/vocabulary, which skews results for those with reading/writing based learning difficulties and non-native/multilingual English speakers. This speaks nothing about general intelligence and more of exposure to these things at a young age.
I scored like 150-170 or some shit when I was 16, depending on the test, but I'm pretty damn good at taking tests in general. I used to solve a lot of mensa shit and loved brain teasers, so I got gud at those kind of questions. I highly doubt I'm a genius.

I've taken multiple ones online and one for a psyche evaluation.
All the online tests came out genius and the one in person was above average bordering genius.

I don't put much stock into those types of things. Some of the most stupid people I've ever met, have a high IQ. I don't really think there is a way to quantify, much less test, intelligence. 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.
Every time I've tested on the stupid internet IQ tests, I have scored above average. When I say the internet IQ tests, I am not talking about that link that popped up on your Facebook wall by someone saying "I tested at such and such, how do you compare?". They've all been a little more than that. Like I said though, I don't really put much weight in them.

for one thing, they wouldn't have much return traffic if they told half their visitors they had a below average iq
good news though -- they can join the police force :V
well, i guess it could be less than half

I think you have it backwards. I know what you're referencing and I don't think it was they only recruited below average, they refused to recruit people who were above average.
The below average intelligence crowd, flunk out and end up as security guards.

I think someone was denied the opportunity based on that.
This is well outside the scope of recruitment if that's the case; I believe that is how the lawsuit started.
For some reason the number 70 stuck in my head; that might have been the average IQ for the profession.
An IQ of 70 fits well into the below-average range and I believe it is just above "borderline retarded."
Lol, it was a joke anyway but just sayin'

Misunderstanding maybe. There was an article that got brought up pretty recently that was some leaked proof/memo or something like that, stating police departments will not hire you if you have a higher than average IQ. I assumed this is what you were talking about. If it was just a joke on how cops all seem stupid, I'm with you.

I have tested myself without many online tests in order to find a more acccurate average because some are straight down to easy or too hard and surprisingly enough I average around 135 everytime, which puts me in the 1%... So I call bullshit, but when I compare myself to others, the score just might not be as farfetch'ed as I think...
So my answer based on what is most likely complete bullshit tests: 135 IQ

Still there's no HARD science that says that IQ tests currently used by psychologists and schools are any more valid than any random test that I could design. I could use my subjective model of what intelligence is create a test of spatial reasoning brain teasers and math word problems that didn'trequire advanced knowledge of math, some paragraph completion problems etc I'm sure that test could predict future success however you define that, academic performance etc (or whatever iq tests are supposed to actually be useful for and predict) etc just as accurately as the tests made up by psychologists who don't even understand neuroscience let alone have a valid quantitative test for anything regarding cognition psychology etc
Overall point? Iq isn't nearly a rigorously enough defined term to even have any place in the realm of science as opposed to subjective philosophy.

If anyone wants to take a non-cultural/non-language based IQ test then take a Raven's Matrix IQ test. It's the IQ test equivalent of computer benchmarking a processors speed and efficiency in terms of raw computing power.
And there are plenty of people who have IQ's that are high that are fucking stupid because they don't have common sense. Bill Clinton comes to mind. He has a high IQ yet has such poor judgment that he gets a blow-job from a fat girl in his office. 
As far as myself, well I solved all 800 problems in Shaum's Outline of Laplace Transforms in 2 days because I had nothing better to do. 
One other thing. This thread is proof that drugs make you smart because everyone here is a genius.

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

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

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.

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.

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 think I'm going to make all my posts in bold now too. That's what geniuses do to be heard.

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.

MagicalOrangutan said: 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. 
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..... 
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

Lol, so black and white.... If you can define what morality is, you'd probably be holding a PhD. Is selling drugs immoral/amoral? I'll give you a head start: morality is socially defined and regionally specific.
We participate in life as a nepotistic species. If you aren't rich, you're probably born into the serf class like the rest of us and will never have a snowball's chance in hell to get rich in your lifetime. 
Can you break the mould and forge your own fate, young monkey?
