Evo said:No, the online tests are just for fun. Real IQ tests have to be given by a licensed psychologist and are not really like the online tests. I have been administered the real thing.
Says who? There is no valid grading system for online websites.some_letters said:Agreed, I'm sure there are tons of factors that an impersonal online test cannot account for but one's that I've taken claim to have a correlation factor (not sure if that's the right word but I think you know what I'm talking about) of .87 and above. The one I just took said it has a factor of .98 with the ST-binet and whatever the other test is.
It's really what you accomplish that matters.Bobbywhy said:some letters, you have described your actions as taking too much of your time, an obsession, while claiming they are fun. Also, that you suffer from an inferiority complex.
May I suggest you focus more on your own abilities? Proof of competence is not gained by waiving your IQ test score around. We notice the skills and competence of others by their performance. We see that a good hunter brings in the game to feed the tribe, that the skilled farmer plants, cares for, and harvests a good crop. We recognize the competent engineer who solves difficult problems by combining his formal training with his natural intelligence. The audience at a music concert responds well to the skilled soloist. So what is your skill? What are you doing that you can excel in?

It is difficult to determine the accuracy of IQ tests on the internet as it varies from test to test. Some tests may be designed and validated by professionals, while others may be created by individuals with no expertise in testing. It is important to research the source and validity of the test before taking it.
Online IQ tests can give an estimate of one's intelligence, but they should not be considered as a definitive measure. These tests often have limited questions and do not take into account other factors that can affect intelligence, such as education and life experiences.
No, online IQ tests are not the same as traditional IQ tests used by professionals. Traditional IQ tests are longer, more comprehensive, and administered in a controlled environment. Online tests may not measure the same range of skills and may not have the same level of reliability and validity as traditional tests.
Taking multiple IQ tests on the internet is unlikely to improve your score. IQ tests measure innate intelligence, which is not something that can be improved upon. Additionally, taking the same test multiple times may lead to artificially inflated scores due to familiarity with the questions.
Online IQ tests should not be used as the sole method for determining intelligence. They can provide a general estimate, but other factors should also be considered, such as academic achievements, problem-solving skills, and social and emotional intelligence.
