Real IQ tests are administered by psychologists/psychiatrists and are not a simple speed test. While it may be fun to test yourself to see how many you get right, it is not an IQ test.

Sounds like someone didn't get as high as they thought they would

 

[rootX]

95 with all answers randomly selected .

 

[tribdog]

138 with none of the answers randomly selected.

i got 105 the first time and 127 the second.


hmm, the average maybe?

I'd call it 232.

 

[Pengwuino]

hehehe, i like how they offer some stupid test that's "Our most difficult IQ test!" Someones missing the point of IQ tests...

 

[Chi Meson]

I scored 187. I think it was a bit low, but I finished it while making dinner for the kids (souffle de Saint-Ange); I guess I was distracted.

wow. 18.7 that's higher than I would have guessed.

Harder than seeing how high you can score is seeing how low you can score by randomly pressing things. I managed to get an 84 after 2 attempts but was in the 90's for the first 2. Apparently people with IQs lower than 90 (which they call "average") score worse than a chimp randomly pressing buttons.

 

[tribdog]

by missing on purpose I got a 76.

Similarly, I got a 91 by selecting random choices. Maybe we need to try intelligently selecting wrong answers to get a low score? Or maybe random selections after waiting the full period?

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

I was also thinking about it and if all IQ tests would give similar score if all the answers are randomly chosen.

I got 124; not surprising if you read the membership details :)

From their website,

"To join, you can take one of our two IQ tests online, or you can submit proof of IQ at 124 or above by mailing in professional test scores. "

I'm pretty sure the questions on a real IQ test are specifically designed not to give preferential treatment to any particular knowledge about the world...whereas this one has a whole section dedicated to random world knowledge!

Exactly! This test is bogus! As if that wasn't already obvious.

I was professionally tested at age 11 with an IQ of 185, at the request of my new 6th grade teacher to find out why my books had been taken away from me since the age of 8 because as she was told by other teachers "Evo will get ahead of the rest of the class unless you take her books away". My parents were told that public school had nothing to offer me and suggested private boarding schools for the "academically able" that required a minimum professionally tested IQ of 140 to even be considered, but not guaranteed, you had to pass further assessments.

I decided to stay in public school and be jumped, I finished high school at 14.

 

[redargon]

I always wondered about that... what do you do after high school when you're only 14? Go to college? illegal to get a job. I would have probably taken a 4 year holiday while waiting to be old enough to go to college I mean I know you can go to college at 14, but is that really beneficial to you, to be hanging out with people mostly over 18. I enjoyed university for the parties and the work. At 14, you only get some of the experience (legally, anyway)

Evo's misrepresenting things a bit. Back when Evo and I were 14 parents pulled their kids out of school at 14 as a matter of course to help with the chores around the homestead and fight off Injuns.

 

[jobyts]

I'm confused here...(well, not really )
If Evo stopped reading books since she was 8, how did she finish the high school?

Umm...I was poking fun...joking around...not being serious...

you'd think someone who was as gifted as you would be able to see that...

[Topher925]

Ah no I only got a 110. I guess I'm only slightly above average.

No wonder you got past school with terrible sleep.

Uuh, anyways...

But you never had to assume Evo was bragging or personally attacking you since all Evo did was give a quick biography to follow up with your joke. Your 's and 's weren't needed.

Ahh... it's really confusing when text and happy faces try to stand for tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions, eh?

[sings] somebody may be jealous

oh, I don't know. It sounded a bit like bragging to me too.

I found that to be wicked difficult starting about halfway through.

That's a "real" I.Q. test?

LOL, true...

I'm catching up with you Topher,I scored 9.372 on my last attempt.One more brain cell and I'll be a carrot.

Obviously not, but it's culture free; non of that "When was Einstein born?" crap. This type of testing is apparently linked to working memory.

 

[Canticle]

126 trying and a worrying 107 not trying! but I did find myself glancing at the questions as I moved the mouse and intuitively hitting what I thought was the right button on the simpler ones instead of being completely random.

But I've been shocked to learn that half the kids in the world are below average IQ, so I'm rushing off to see if I can help bring that up to 75%.

Hey, all you multiple choice test takers, where are you when it comes to the PF trivia contest? Come on, come on come on!

LOL. Nice test. I should start writing IQ tests. This is great.

"Do you like apples?"

"Are apples delicious?"

"What is the next word in the series: oranges, bananas, grapefruit, _____"

"Which is better, trigonometry or apples?"

 

[zoobyshoe]

Evo, what are the correct answers to these two, and why:

These completely baffle me.

 

[Chi Meson]

Yo, Mentor, what's the color that completely hides the spoiler? Fix dis! (pretty please)
1st one is C, but I think there is a mistake in the given set, or I have the wrong idea; second choice is D. Second one is H, positive about that one. EDIT: no I'm not.

 

[waht]

Yo, Mentor, what's the color that completely hides the spoiler? Fix dis!
1st one is C, second one is H

1st one is E, second one is B

 

[Chi Meson]

1st one is E, second one is B

You're right about B on the second one

 

[jobyts]

The first one is D. It's the superimpose of the other two in the same row or column, with common lines removed. (XOR, in digital logic terms)

 

[waht]

pattern in first one: there is 3 independent sets of shapes composed of 3 like sets (two with 3 verticies and one with 4 verticies) what is missing is a set with 3 verticies of a like shape. Also disregard the square.

 

[Negatron]

Explanation:

The first one takes the first two in a row and performs a logical exclusive OR. So where blacks overlap, black is subtracted, where black exists in only one of the two elements, it is kept.

So D

The second one is set completion. Note that all squares have one empty dot on the outside, empty dot on the inside, and solid dot on the inside. The same for the circles. Naturally the same would be required for the triangles. A triangle with dot inside is the only one missing.

So B


There is an untimed IQ test here.

"www.etienne.nu/cfnse/"[/URL]

This one is only for high performers. I believe scoring only starts around 130 IQ, so anyone below this will get a 0 relative score.

[PLAIN]http://www.iqtest.dk"

This one is a derivative of raven's progressive matrices and suitable for anyone. It is timed. If I recall correctly, it has a sizeable random sample from the population of Denmark, so it should be respectably accurate.

 

[Kurdt]

1st one is E, second one is B

We have spoiler tags now. The new tests from the high IQ society are absolutely appaling compared to the old ones. General knowledge should not be on an IQ test. They used to have the Haselbauer-Dickheiser test up there which was fun if you enjoyed a mind bending puzzle or two. Like Evo has stated they are not properly administered IQ tests and should be taken lightly.

 

[rootX]

What's the point of a "real" IQ test? Does it consider factors like determination, strong will power, goals?

Person with high IQ can spend his whole life doing something that neither benefits him or the society (even counter productive to his/her own welfare) but shouldn't one with high IQ be able to see what's the best course of action to choose and be able to easily understand that social/personal welfare is one of the important criteria in comparing different decisions? Thus one with high IQ should have better goals than one with lower if better thinking capabilities means the person would think fast/better..

I just don't understand how a person with better thinking abilities can outperform one with lower (or is different when we consider the products/services created by them) and what's the criteria to decide (money, social contribution etc) what's better.

The IQ test was originally developed to detect mental retardation and learning disabilities.

 

[waht]

Explanation:

The first one takes the first two in a row and performs a logical exclusive OR. So where blacks overlap, black is subtracted, where black exists in only one of the two elements, it is kept.

So D

you are right
XORing makes a lot of sense, and it's more compelling then the other approach.

yea I know, some of the tests are a good exercise though, just for fun.

Not everyone has motivation and diligence. Successful people are good with other people. However, human relations are often contradictory, and that poses a problem for those who extend rationality to maximum. I guess the view of the world becomes hopeless, and it would be absurd to do anything.

 

[Chi Meson]

Explanation:

The first one takes the first two in a row and performs a logical exclusive OR. So where blacks overlap, black is subtracted, where black exists in only one of the two elements, it is kept.

That's simpler than my reasoning; I figured the rule was "remove one line from each of the first two, then superimpose for the third." But the second didn't quite fit this rule, so I thought it might be "superimpose the first two, then remove one line from the result." This works, interestingly enough, but for some reason I thought my first choice was more likely. The XOR explanation is wonderfully elegant. I should have taken a circuits class.
