what's your IQ score?

[GrumpyPirate]

Isnt it amazing how many always get high IQ scores when asked in threads like these? If your gonna lie find something inteligent to lie about. Roughly 2% of the population qualifies for MENSA membership and their limit is at 139IQ with variations depending on country.

Considering the score people are claiming here it would mean Escapist has an not only unlikely but incredibly high amount of that top 2% of the population... Seriously?

Either youve done backyard hillbilly versions of the test or your just plain lying, take your pick. A number are probably honest but i very much doubt even the majority here is.


Did a mensa basic test online and got the top score the test measured to, 129IQ. Onlinetests give everything between 120-150 so those are just bull, havent done a proper mensa test so dont know my real score.

Mod please remove double post.

It varies depending on the test, highest was 131 lowest 91(no visual questions on that one). Generally it's about 121.

When I was a kid I scored in the low 140s (I think it was 142). I haven't taken an official test since then.

But really, it doesn't matter much until you get into the ridiculously high stuff like the 170s and shit.

Most people in this thread have probably taken online IQ tests.
Do you really think that many of you in this thread are geniuses? (Because you all have THAT high IQ score according to what you post).
Look up what percentage of the population has a score ranging in the 140-ish and above.
Laughable.

On that note, I'm convinced this forum has more intellectuals than what you'd find in just about any daily gathering of this amount of people.

I just took an on-line IQ test on the BBC website and scored 87, Go Me! (sarcasm).
Along with your own score, feel free to say how much relevance IQ score has on ones occupational prospects and there life in general.

Don't worry, they're not a true measurement of intelligence, they're not even accurate half the time. They're far too based on mathematics to be a reliable source of information about someone's intelligence.

I took an online test once to determine my IQ, I saw the test had 13 questions only and I closed the tab. I looked at other websites and they all coasted money, so I thought it was a rip of just to have a fake answer anyway so I quite my quest.

my last IQ test said negative...

what does that mean?!

You might have had the test upside down?

I've taken a legitimate, psychologist administered IQ test twice in my life. In both cases, they were taken to document a disability -- two of them actually; ADD and Tourette's syndrome, if anyone's interested -- and both times, my IQ averaged to a point slightly above 130, but with a significant spread between the verbal reasoning and spatial reasoning scores; I don't know which IQ test I was given either time, so I can't say whether my scores were genius level or almost 10 points below it, but I can say that my verbal score, which was the higher of the two scores, was within the genius range whether the cutoff was 130 or 140, both times. For the record, the test I took in the fifth grade put me at 132 overall, and the one I took at the start of college was 131.

I was just measured a few hours ago, and I'm around 140 lbs.

Wait, wha-

 

[duckers101]

154in one and 159 in another both done by a Mensa worker but i doubt its right i'm too clumsy and horrifically dyslexic

Problem is: you take enough of these types of tests, you eventually learn how to do well at them. That's just how the brain works. Then the test becomes subjective since people who've 'trained' (read: done many) will generally do better then people who never saw one before.

 

[cystemic]

i've done it a couple of times and got 122 and 139, which was right after each other. if there was an accurate way of measuring it that was used by everyone to provide a more reliable answer, i'd try it but I wouldn't necessarily live my life according to it. I'd still be the same videogaming, chip consuming twit

 

[TheIronRuler]

There is no "right" way to measure IQ.
It's not something you can measure, it doesn't have any units. Average is 100, and all is relative, but you can't "measure" it correctly.
I'm supposed to be "highly gifted" which is between 125 to 135, but I know that the tests I did were bullocks. Did I spell that correctly? I never get to use British lang these days.

132 from a psychologist administered IQ test.

It doesn't matter how smart you are in this world. Like a wise man once said, "its not what you know, who you know or how you know only who knows you." I have found this to be very true.

 

[MEEBO17]

IQ tests aren't the most accurate, but I'd say I'm average to above average.

 

[thereverend7]

the only one's i've taken are online so they aren't too accurate im guessing, but its around 130.

 

[Serenegoose]

All IQ tests for me come back with the result 'Unknown.' and then I need to avoid government researchers trying to cut me open for like a week until I back-hack their satellite communications program and download a chicken virus direct into their brains.

 

[Rafael Dera]

Got a 92 on the 2007 BBC test. cold shower after mostly scoring 130-ish on on-line tests =D
Srsly, they don't mean much. It's (as usual) not the 'size' that counts but how you use it.

 

[Aptspire]

140-something, if I remember well
