What is your IQ?

Last time I did one I got 139. That was about 3-4 years ago though. And I doubt it was reliable XD
Ok, also keep in mind that this specific test caps at 150.
Scored 30/30 on it with a score of 150 myself. Ive taken other online IQ tests and they cap at 150.. part of the reason why is because beyond 150 its really hard to get an accurate gauge.
but as others have said, this specific test is incredibly easy. Its 90% spacial orientation.

I took one online earlier today (the credibility of which is uncertain). I got 129, which according to another site I went to, is the very end of the 'above average' scores. 130 starts the 'gifted' scores.
Makes sense I suppose, since I was in a gifted minds class in fourth grade (dropped out of it, because I wasn't learning anything new and it got boring, which led to me being unable to take it in fifth grade) and through all three years of middle school. My high school doesn't utilize the program. Shame, the middle school one was awesome...
I kind of want to take a legitimate IQ test, but at the same time don't feel like going through the trouble to do so.

Actually my brother is quite the genius. His test was done professionally. The only thing he has ever not gotten an A on was a test on the rules of Volleyball in High School. Last year he made the Dean's list and President's List in the University of Oklahoma.dathwampeer said:
IQ tests are so silly. Average intelligence is supposed to be a score of 100...yet nearly everyone here got scores well above that [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Wobegon#The_Lake_Wobegon_effect"]for some reason[/a].
Online tests are especially generous (often giving scores that are impossible on a "real" test), though I doubt real-life ones are all that much better. And of course they all use different scales, so comparing scores from different tests doesn't really work...
Just to be hypocritical, I got 133 on some test or other, which I only remember because it's an outlier on that XKCD graph.

Me either. Even if I had been tested in the past, I certainly don't remember what my score was.TheMaddestHatter said:

99th percentile in what? Normal IQ tests are done in sections then, I believe, calculated to an average. The percentiles assigned are to each of the sections of the test, not to the completed work.Monkeyman8 said:
I think it's important to not that not only did Binet and Simon not devise their set of tests to evaluate and quantify general intelligence but that Binet himself openly objected to the idea of quantifying intelligence.
The Binet-Simon test, which serves as the basis for most current IQ tests, was developed as a tool for identifying intellectual and developmental disabilities in school children.

Considering I have a tactile-kinesthetic learning disorder, and part of the test required I do things that I had a LOT of trouble with, I have an IQ of 160 according to the Wechsler (140, if you subtract points for the 'spatial IQ' questions I couldn't get). This was when I was 16, so I don't know if it changed or not.
I'm not a fan of IQ tests. True tests, or online ones. I took an online one a few years back and came up with 157, another one less than a year later was 30 points lower. According to the real one I took, the 'world average' IQ is 90, mine was 133 and, oddly enough, (this lends credence to my disbelief of the IQ testing system) I scored in the 98th percentile in English, passage comprehension and the like, but only in the 4th percentile in Math, despite my grade in the class exceeding 75 percent, with a class average of 60...
