willing to share their IQ's

This will test your ability to take tests.

Lol Bob!

The best test I've ever seen!

Andre

very tough indeed

There are at least two scales, with 100 as the mean. So any data without reference to the scale used is meaningless.

I must have done something backwards. I got a QI result. They told me to 'quit it'.

I took a "real" one from an educational psychologist. The test was part of a battery of tests looking for learning disabilities. It involved pencil and paper exercises, computer based exercises and manipulation of 3-D objects. I placed just above 3 std. dev. but was negative for learning disabilities. My job is delivering pizza. My ethnicity is mostly "white" (that is, recent ancestors were mostly in Europe).

edit - Also, I took it as an adult, not as a youth. I'm not sure if that matters.

I only have enough IQ for my own personal use, so I don't have any to share with the rest of you. Sorry about that!

Why would you say "but" ?

Slightly above three standard deviations would be 145+, yet you say "but I don't have any learning disabilities." Yo no comprende.

I find these types of threads as highly irritating i.e. ones where the OP is pointless and the replies are meaningless posts of satire.

Maybe he means ##\mu - 3\sigma##?

I agree. I need this for a school project and in all responses I have found 1 actual one which won't cut it for school.

The respondent may simply be stating that they got such a relatively high score because they don't have any learning disabilities.

However, if someone does, then the test outcome will depend to some extent upon the nature of the disabilities. Head injuries resulting in, say, prospective memory and verbal memory dysfunction may leave reasoning ability and visual memory sufficiently intact to do well on IQ tests. Dyslexia will have an impact upon certain types of test but not so much on others.

Continuing the tone of the thread, in my case, the test was multiple choice and I had to rely on the psychic ability inherited from my Welsh ancestors to guess the answers. I mean, there's no way I'd ever have passed the Mensa entrance test if I had to rely on what's left of my native wit. I was also damn lucky Shakespeare let me borrow one of his monkeys for my astrophysics exams, couldn't have done it without the little chap.

I have ADHD and dyslexia yet I am still in the genius range. They have also shown that things such as add come with the territory of having a high iq. Though they do not always it has been a trend

NemoReally

It's alright for you, you can get away with that "personal use" stuff, but if I got caught, I'd be doing heavy time, man, h e a v y time. There ain't no way they ain't goin' to be believin' I'm not dealin'!

I must say I am shocked by the behavior of my fellow PFffts. Here we have, in JackRohr, a dedicated researcher applying all of his skill in gathering scientific data and all you can do it joke about it. The fact that I alone would take this task seriously should give one pause for thought. Frankly, I am disappointed in you all. JackRohr, I appologize for my association with this sorry group of would-be comedians. You may find solace in the famous quote by my countryman, Epimenides, which I suggest you google.

There are certainly problems with thinking too fast. I'm fed up with getting criticised for my "negative attitude" for identifying major potential problems in some plan before most people have even begun to understand the positive aspects, even though in many cases I also find potential solutions which are better than the original plan.
