I wish I knew my real one, but my parents refuse to tell me, I took it while I was young.

135 -i think they just put those pictures on there to make you feel better about yourself. I dont know what a good score is but, at least i know I'm not dumb.

Usually I get around 140, so it wasn't for off for me, but it did seem very short...

133 which is a little less than one I took when I was younger. Don't they say your iq goes down as you get older?

I took that one a while ago... I think I got a 147.

Edit: Just took it and got 141

Our analyses indicate that your Intellectual Type is: Visual Mathematician. This means that among other things, you have superior skills in mathematics and spatial reasoning.

damn...126 again.

we can tell your Intellectual Type is an Inventive Inquisitor.

The first thing we can tell you about that is you're equally good at mathematical and verbal skills and have a thirst for learning through experience. But that's just scratching the surface.

Lets see if we can come up with an answer key. I got a 140, so some of these should be wrong.

1) 3236
2) Kangaroo
3) 49
4) Tempting
5) Hat
6) option D
7) 1000 (all his favorite numbers factor into powers of 2 and 5)
8) False
9) Country (anldegn = england)
10) Rocket

11) False
12) It's impossible to tell
13) 20 (she is 12 when he is 4, 12 + 8 = 20)
14) True
15) 5
16) Skillful
17) 56 (28 * 2)
18) True
19) 99 (49 people above her, 49 people below her; 49 + 49 + 1 = 99)
20) Sandy (assume there are 30 miles between X and Y; Jack gets there in 1 hr and back in 3 hrs for a total of 4 hrs; Sandy gets there in 1.5 hrs and back in 1.5 hrs, for a total of 3 hrs)

21) 120 (half the people, half the work in the same time)
22) Simple
23) 1/16 (1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16)
24) 10 (800 / (2 * 4 * 10) = 800 / 80 = 10)
25) Value
26) 20 miles (2 * sqrt(6^2 + 8^2))
27) Banana (because of the shape)
28) Virtue
29) Point a finger
30) Nothing

31) Envelope
32) the Hockey Skate
33) the Circle
34) option C (the colors of the outside corners are the same in a left-right pair, just switched; the colors fo the inside corners are the same of a diagonal pair, just switched)
35) option B (the block which is leftmost in the first picture moves up one spot each iteration, the middle two never move, and the block which is rightmost in the first picture moves down one and left one each iteration.
36) option B (it should be the same as the top left item)
37) option D (all items in a row have the same basic shape, and two of them are of one color and the other of another; also, each row contains a +, a square, and a triangle as a secondary shape)
38) option A
39) option B
40) option C (C is the only one which has two small shapes; all the others have one large shape and one small one)

I gave explanations for the ones which I thought were less obvious, but some of those could be wrong as well, I guess. Anyone disagree with my answers? I'd like to see where I am wrong.

133 which is a little less than one I took when I was younger. Don't they say your iq goes down as you get older?

Visual-spatial capabilities and processing speed begin to decline in the 4th-5th decade. Vocabulary is typically quite stable until memory begins to decline.

Another complicating factor is that IQ (measured by Stanford-Binet or Weschler) has been drifting upwards.

On a more serious note, if you have attended college at all, you are probably smarter than 98% of the people in the world. And, if you have graduated from college with a B, you are probably smarter than 99% of the people in the world. If you have graduated from college with a M, you are probably smarter than 99.6% of the people in the world. If you have graduated from college with a PhD, you are probably smarter than 99.95% of the people in the world.

These are extremely rough calculations using polling data from the US census and then running it through a couple calculations to produce numbers for the entire world. I assumed the population of the US to be 300 mil and the population of the world to be 6 bil.

This obviously only applies to basic book and application smarts - those of math, science, literature, etc... nothing along the lines of 'street smarts' or common sense.

Considering that the US rarely ranks in the top quartile of any assessment of basic book/application smarts (math, science, literature) aren't your calculations a gross overestimate of the capabilities of US test takers?

I dont think this one goes that high
Busted!!!

Haha...he said this one...as in the test can't measure higher than 150? or something? I actually doublechecked and I'm a big fibber. I'm actually 143...but this test was when I was 9. So I'm sure things might be a little different now... And actually, I'm pretty sure tha IQ tests go infinately high and the only ceiling is human error.

Wasn't steven Hawking something like 200+??

I took a few online IQ tests before; I have received either 150 or 151 every time. They are precise but I don't know how accurate they are.

We must live with the fact that less than 5% of the world's population is as smart as we are. This is not easy. It results in many people feeling anger for us, but we have very good hearts and we wish to use the gifts to help others. Please do not insult my family. They are good people.

Just kidding!! -- search for TOTY and follow the link to the DesetCart thread.

But seriously, numeric scores aren't really important since they vary from test to test. it's your percentile rank, for example to get into Mensa you have to score at or above the 98th percentile. Mensa info

My smartness level tells me to say: Happy New Year!

Only smarter than 95% ? Lmao, the entire US population is 5% of the world population. Your 5% is sad, I feel sorry for your family - must be a bunch of hicks. jk (I just knew you were not trying to gloat, right?)

On a more serious note, if you have attended college at all, you are probably smarter than 98% of the people in the world.

Yes, I was completely unserious -- I was quoting from the very funny DesertCart thread that HotChic linked to in the Thread-Of-The-Year thread

Your IQ score is 129

At the same time, we compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is an Insightful Linguist.

The first thing we can tell you about that is you have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind.



hmmmmmmm. I must try harder.
