The discussion centers around the validity and enjoyment of online IQ tests, particularly those offered by the High IQ Society. Participants share their scores, with some expressing skepticism about the accuracy of these tests compared to professionally administered IQ assessments. Many agree that real IQ tests are conducted by psychologists and not simply speed tests or trivia quizzes. There is a consensus that while these online tests can be entertaining, they should not be taken seriously as true measures of intelligence. Users report varying scores, with some attempting to manipulate their results by selecting answers randomly. The conversation also touches on the implications of IQ scores, questioning their relevance in measuring a person's potential or success in life. Overall, the thread highlights a mix of humor and critique regarding the nature of online IQ testing.

I think that I tend to complex the answer more than clarifying it, I wonder what use I can get of that way of thinking?:rolleyes:

Real IQ tests are mostly a joke. Fake IQ tests are entirely a joke. :approve:

To the contrary: I think I.Q. test scores are an excellent indicator of how well you do on I.Q. tests.

Do it and post results here.

I went back and took the two here. On the easy one I got 131. On the "hardest" one I got 122.

"...each question is assigned a weighted value and time limit. A complex scoring algorithm takes into account the difficulty level and time remaining for each question when calculating your score. This scoring method is commonplace on professional IQ tests but unique on the Internet."

I wonder if the "complex scoring algorithm" is applied to the ones you got wrong. What's worse: a fast wrong answer or a slow wrong answer?

I think the "complex scoring algorithm" might explain how people can score as high as 90 with random choices: you're getting a lot more credit for fast right answers because the mechanism doesn't know they're accidental, but every wrong answer is simply wrong no matter how fast or slow.

I'm thinking if a fast right answer is better than a slow right answer, then a fast wrong answer should be worse than a slow wrong answer.

now the first part I do agree with you but the 2nd nop and as a conclusion [of my complex thinking] I think you should do select randomly [fast] the answers to questions you have no clue of, by that you would pick AFAP all random answers whether they're the fast right answer or the fast wrong one:approve:

I'm really good at getting the wrong answer faster than most other people.

at least, you won’t regret the time lost trying to figure out the right one:rolleyes:, not to mention trying to convince yourself of a solution that is actually wrong, may led you to choose that same answer again [if you face the same question] cause it’s unconsciously stored in your mind..I suppose

Probably inaccurate like all the other tests on the Internet, though.
And these things mean squat ~.~
