Following the discussion about IQ tests on IRC, I thought it would be nice to discuss about it on the forums as well and share our results on IQ tests.
I personally tried http://www.iqtest.com and got 135. I took it a few years ago as well and got a similar score.
A few years ago I also took the Tickle test, which is now closed, and got 111. Explanations at http://www.junemann.nl/maxcoderz/viewtopic.php?p=60939#p60939 (I was the lowest scorer in that thread D:)
Has anyone else taken the test or any other?

I've been taking a bunch of IQ tests every year for the past 4 years just for the fun of it. http://www.iqtest.com/ gave me 138 when I was 12. Then I took http://www.free-iqtest.net/ a year later and got 147. Then I took the official IQ test on Facebook and it gave me 147 (again), but it said that since my IQ was above 110, it'd be more accurate with the Advanced Level IQ Test (also on Facebook). I got 174 on that one, but when I took it again a year later I got 172...

142 XD
-
That's lame. I'm not willing to put in my email address, so I just wasted that time. <_<
So, yeah, if you don't want to disclose your email, don't even bother. :(
-
Yeah that sucks, although I just used a dummy address I no longer really use. If you absolutely want to take the test but don't want to put your real e-mail address, just make a new Gmail account or something.

I scored 125, I'm 15 years old, in http://www.iqtest.com this one

I took the mensa workout test and got 26/30 :D

I tried the iqtest.com thing and unfortunately I cannot get my score :(
hehe, never mind... it sends the score via e-mail...
137

146 ;) Not like these things are terribly accurate, though.
-
I got 152.

So far today I've had a 107 and a 135

go through and put true as everything and your IQ score is 87.
then i made a different email account and got 154, trying

Yeah, I should do that. I use one account for everything, and now I get a thousand spam emails a day. Especially when I registered on sendmespam.co.uk (it's down now).

Yeah, I got a 172 on the free-IQTest thing, but I had to jump through a lot of hoops before I could get to it. Every fu-- I mean, freaking page was an advertisement thing, so I had to make sure I wasn't signing up for anything. The very first thing let the company charge your phone bill as they saw fit as a fee for their "services" which I took to assume was sending spam/advertisements to your phone. I put my street address as 666 idk street. Do you think they will send something?
172 compared to 137? Something is wrong... I wonder how reliable that site is???
On a semi-random note...
I have a cell phone, but I have used in the past 2 years about 60 minutes. 35 talking to my GF a few weeks ago and 11 talking to my friend two weekends ago :D The other 14 minutes or so was just me hitting the "browser" button (whatever that is).
-
Wow.
Nah, seriously, I got 130. Which is not bad, considering I'm not native English.

/me stabs Juju
You beat my 1337 >:(

Lol Juju
BUt personally I liked Tickle because it also explained your personality and what you were good at. It seemed to try harder at testing your intelligence, too. Sadly, it's gone.
Iqtest seems to give a small idea of how your IQ is, although I wish it gave more info for free. None of the IQ tests are really accurate, really. It's still fun to see how we score, though.
-
I scored 141. I wonder what I would score on a real IQ test.
-
In fact I think the point of an IQ is not the number itself, but how we scored compared to the others. 100 is supposed to be the average IQ (due, somehow, to the formula below), but, oddly, I never seen anyone with less than 100... But it's still fun to compare to each other.
Also, IQ = mental age / physical age * 100.

Your formula is wrong, but you've got the principle down. Your IQ score is really how you compare to a representative population. What they do is give a bunch of people the test, normalize the scores to 100, and then your score is computed based on that. It's pretty simple statistics.

Pretty sure you went through it faster the second time around. IQ tests also take time into account, remember.

Pretty sure they actually do have a working formula, but they probably inflate it a bit (like adding fifteen to everyone's score) to make people feel good and click on all the ads. Just my thoughts.

according to a WISC test I took a long time ago (WISC is a very credable one), I got 147/150, I ran out of time on one question while explaining it :3
-
Did they still let you answer the question even if you ran out of time? if not, that might be a bit innacurate. That said, IQ tests are also innacurate when each question got no "I don't know" answer, since the person will just guess it.
-
true, but the answers in WISC are short answer. also, no they didn't give it to me, but If I got quicker, I would have gotten a perfect score /150...
in the normal test, that means I currently have a 294 IQ...

There is no such thing as maximum IQ, I believe.
I scored 135, 120 and 130 in three tests, which means I'm a smart person, but not a genius.
-
for WISC there is a max IQ, since you can't ask infinity questions, they only ask 50.

Yes, of course, but your IQ can't be measured with questions. Well, it's very hard to explain what I think.
-
it can't be based completely off answers you're right, but they can't go test your brain chemistry with alkaline strips either.
-
Sure they can! :P
When I took an IQ test I was 12. It gave me a 98 XD then I took a different one, got 145 :P
-
yeah, they all have different scoring methods and bases (some out of 300, some out of 100, some out of 150, 666, 777, 1337 etc.)
-

All IQ tests have different results.
For the best IQ test go to your family doctor :D

Wait, they can't? I was so sure... :D
-
woah. I knew I was somewhat smart(i skipped a grade), but I didn't expect this: a 183!
no, the ! is not a factorial. Else i would be ludicrously smart.

technically they can, though you won't be able to sleep on one side of your head where the incision would be
-
The REAL test is figuring out how the IQ test is scored before submitting it and cheating to give yourself a perfect score ;D

Very nice. You already are ludicrously smart.

135...Why did it ask me to pay for a score report when they send it anyways?

It would still depend on how fast you click Submit, remember ;)

Maybe they would send you a more detailed version if you pay? I know a lot of IQ services do that (with "suggestions" on how to improve, for example).
