How smart do you think you are in relation to the rest of your country; Below average, average or above average, and what proof would you have to back that up?
It'll be interesting to see what results we get from the Escapist.

P.S.
I went for slightly above average, I always got good grades, and I've a degree, but then everyone has a degree nowadays...
62 people are a meme. I think your question is biased.
Haha, this thread is still going? Awesome!

I put added a link to a free I.Q. test, I got 129 in it, that should make the question a little less biased, no?
Go on, give it a go, let's see what you've got!

Does this vindicate my claim to an above average intelligence? I can't tell without knowing a few metrics related to the test.

But in all honesty, I don't really care. When can I get back to dunking n00bs in Halo, bro?

I feel inadequate now.

Though, aren't IQ tests supposed to be timed? I put in the same answers twice, obviously much faster the second time. Both yielded the same result.

That IQ test was bull shit. It dealt with a lot of spatial reasoning, witch anyone who is here is likely going to have a major advantage with. And anyway all an IQ test tells you is how good you are at taking an IQ test.

Plus at the bottom there is something that says "The gay test" not a sight I would trust.

Now where's my prize?
Silly IQ test.
You can't measure intelligence just by taking a simple test. Either it's soo simplified... Or it's biased towards one type of intellect.
In this case, it's biased towards the kind of person who knows URL's.

This, like all IQ tests, suffers from the fact that as you get older the test becomes less about how smart you are and more about what you have learned. That said, anything above 120 is considered Genius, so I don't mind being lumped in with all of you other geniuses.

I did not bad though I have to admit I had to guess on one or two of the pattern ones and I really am not good at putting together names from jumbles of letters.

Eh... and not long enough as well, methinks. How is one supposed to deduce (competently) one's IQ from four pages of questions, many of which were distinctly similar enough to be identical...

Doubtful 21.5% of people here are geniuses. People these days just don't understand the full scope of the word. I am not going to go into depth to explain why, but it takes a hell of a lot more than achieving exceptional academic grades or high IQ test scores, because that only makes you talented at most. Statistically, I'd say one person in a million is a genius. Given the current population of this world, there would be roughly 7053 geniuses. Which is a much more realistic count than the statistics of this thread suggests...

The way I see it, genius has become such a loose and misunderstood term that if most peoples' interpretations were correct, then by now at least cancer would have been cured by the sheer statistical amount of existing geniuses that some figures suggest.

Behold the glory that resides within my brain!

I tried several times and was not able to get lower than 74. I feel cheated; I should be much, much dumber than this.

Heh, I got a score of 115.

Thats with 6 and a half beers in me. Another day and another test, that score will be different, I don't really trust any of these online tests to be fair.

Not only are IQ tests like that notoriously inaccurate, the "proof" is easy to fake.

Case in point:

And no, neither of the above scores reflect the actual value of my IQ.

Dunno if that test is legit mate, I skipped the last page and a half because I had to leave, and still got 107. Which means it's probably rigged...

Got 140. That's pretty good I think.
I can't believe how many people put themselves down as "Genius". Really, people? over 200 Escapists are geniuses?

The test was fun, but you could see the cultural bias a mile off. Definitely not reliable

I think its just that over 200 consider themselves more than 'slightly above average'. It was poor pollmanship to jump straight from a central position to an extreme and that's given the illusion of inflated egos. (although some people might consider themselves geniuses, you never know).

That was with me being a complete lazy bastard ans guessing all the number sequences.
I don't trust this thing one bit, tbh.
