145 on the ultimate IQ test. Didn't try the others yet, save for the Exceptional IQ one. Got through the first few...and then I was like...hmmm... :smile:

Anyways, I need to come here more often. :biggrin:

PS: Always an interesting topic on these forums. I can stay up all night just reading what everyone's got to say. * Giga Insomnia Society *

IQ is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. What is it supposed to measure again?
 
  • #34
I don't know :confused:
 
  • #36
Online tests aren't accurate for the most part. I have to say though, that the link you posted (HighIQSociety ... ) looks better than many others.
 
  • #37
It would be accurate, but for the fact that people are able to cheat too easily by discussing the questions on forums like this one
 
  • #38
too deep

Accuracy of a test depends on ability to cheat... Deep maaan. :smile:

Lets find and publicly shame those cheaters. Let's strip them from undeserved IQ points!

No online IQ test can be used an indication of you true IQ, as you can do them as often or as little as you like and unsupervised.

Treat them as individual puzzles, the same way as you would a puzzle from your local newspaper. I'm sure everyone at some time or another has asked for help while doing a crossword at work during smoko. If you can get a little help along the way by getting hints, tips or answers from other sources you might even learn something new and thus potentially increasing your IQ.

They are IQ tests in name only.

Isnt age an important factor in determining IQ
 
  • #41
However when the publisher of the site has asked that the integrity of what they think they are doing should be respected by not discussing it on forums like this one then I don't think treating it like a puzzle site is fair.

Also consider the person who goes to site wishing to find out how they compare in a fair test only to find out that they read your "spoiler" discussion.
 
  • #42
What spoiler discussion. Of all the postings on this thread I can't see a publicly posted answer or spoiler.

Can you gnpatterson?

I am not interested in shaming the cheaters, they will remain faceless in any case, I am bitter about being a sucker, and putting the effort into solving the problems for someone else.

I score 154 in the tests, but am too stupid to know when someone is using me, which basical makes the point about how meaningless these tests are.

Has anyone heard of the Giga Society? They are a group of individuals who have an IQ higher than the top 99.9999999% -ile of general society.

There is a group of six that is NOT invited to my brithday party.

I just randomly typed in the numbers to get done and I got 104. Doest seem like a good test to me.
 
  • #47
since it is a test for high IQ the lower range of the test could easily be at about normal intelligence (ie 100) so 104 is a perfectly reasonable score to get with randomn answers. It is when you can't get a better score by trying that you need to worry.
 
  • #48
This is soo old... Did this one before and got 127.
 
  • #49
Have you done the "test for exceptional intelligence" and if you have what did you get?
 
  • #50
Well, the last time i took an Iq test( administered by my school), i was told i had the highest iq in the entire school district.
 
  • #51
Go to the international high iq society website and do the test then.
 
  • #52
Good, to all who think they have high IQ by taking this test, think again..

Because if you have not seen the bait here for megalomaniacs then you sure are idiots really... :biggrin:
 
  • #53
Got 125 on the ultimate test. They say that matches with a 1200 on the SAT, but I got a 1400 years ago. I don't remember any unfolded polyhedrons like that on the SAT though.

this is not actual test. more like 25 puzzels. I have got like 20 answers of this test.
10 I figure out by myself and 10 pop up on internet from time to time.

6 questions are pretty easy. can be solved on paper. even by 14 years old. which gives IQ like 130.
Lot of them only with knowledge of programming.

requirement is a LOT of free time.


Hey, I am 16!


Anyways, what is the chance of my IQ increasing over the next ten years.

On the main one I received a 136. I have yet to take the others.
 
  • #55
Sorry I didn’t realize it was “my” question.
I don’t know why. I’m not specialist. :confused:

Simple fact of nature is – the more you learn, the more you make you brain work, yours IQ becomes higher.
Sad truth of it though, the peak of human abilities in sports, potency and brain is somewhere from 17-25. After it’s slowly but surely goes down.
But it’s a nice ride.
:wink:

"I just randomly typed in the numbers to get done and I got 104."

oh yeah...I did that and got a 106.

You know what that means?

My random guessing IQ is higher than yours...Oh yeah I'm cool... :smile:
 
  • #57
I got 125 on the ultimate Iq test. you need 126 to be accepted into their "club".

i must smoke a joint now.
 
  • #58
Culture - 141
Verbal - 130
Ultimate - 148
Timed - 135 (my excuse is that it was 2:30 am and it didn't really sink in that it was timed until 3 or 4 minutes had passed ;))
 
  • #59

  • #60
