I completely agree with Qi! I had an official one done when I went to an educational pyschologist when I was nine however, to test whether I was disprastic or dyslexic. Wasn't, can't remember my result. Because I think it's so irrelavant.


But anyway I did this one for fun :)

Congratulations, A!
Your IQ score is 133

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.

Jack, your IQ score is 135

Jack, your IQ score is significantly above average. Congratulations! You have a wide range of exceptional skills which are much stronger than those of the average population. You are also skilled at answering the types of questions that are asked in a classic IQ test. The test analyses your strengths and weaknesses based on your mathematical, linguistic, visual-spatial and logical skills. Even though you have high scores in all of those areas, we are able to analyse your results to discover the areas in which you have the strongest abilities.

Like a meticulous collector, you've fed your brain a unique set of facts and figures over the years. Words, numbers, you've got it all. That's what makes you a Facts Curator.

Whether or not you intend to absorb every piece of information that comes your way, your mind has certain steel-trap qualities to it. You are a knowledge sponge. You have almost enough words in your head to fill a dictionary, and you're equally adept when it comes to manipulating numbers. You can also detect important patterns in number sequences, and probably remember the mnemonic devices you were taught in your early school years.


Funny, last time I did an IQ test it was 135 as well.

I took one before and got over a 130...can't remember exactly what it was. But my parents know what my IQ is and won't tell me...LOL...they had some test done when I was in 1st or 2nd grade. My mom just keeps telling me that it's way above average or whatever. I don't really care.

I did one with the school psychologist in order to get into the gifted program. I got like 150, though it's probably higher now.

I got bored about half-way through and stopped taking it. These kinds of tests just aren't for me. I just don't think in that vein.

I thought IQ tests were developed for the military, not engineers.

Hmmm...

Didn't take it, but I have passed the CHSPE, which means I graduated high school at age 16! :D

IQ tests don't generally get higher with age. The point with IQ tests is that you have intelligence and that intelligence is the same level just in differant stages of development in your life.


That's one of the other problems I have wit IQ tests.

no, IQs actually tend to get lower with age, but thats beside the point. It has to do with how the mind develops and the changes that happen through puberty. a child uses the mind more as a todler than a teenager does, parts of the mind get divied up to different things. Todlers minds are only concerned with learning, a 15 year olds mind is concerned with sex. I'll stop with the Fruedian pyschology and just tell you that IQ lowers with age.

Modern IQ tests were adapted for engeneers. The origininal IQ tests were for the military, but tested different things. After World War II the military IQ tests were adapted for a growing consumer economy.

Doesn't your score also reflect gray matter/nerve tissue ratios or some junk like that?

Well, the military does need engineers, doesn't it? I just saw this sitcom where one of the characters was going nuts about the SATs. I think that test is total crap. Why do you have to be able to do that well in math and english to get into university, especially if you're going to be studying something that has nothing to do with math? I had a teacher once who failed grade ten math three times. If he needed to do the SATs to get into school I doubt he would have ended up being a teacher. You don't need calculous to teach law and business.
Please, sit down before you fall down.

because universities and colleges, especially small ones, are very concerned with keeping their student average GPA up. the better you do on an SAT the better you'll do in their school. I never took the SAT and i got like a 23 on the ACT. which isnt a great score. (heh, my mother thought it was a percent score, boy was she scared. HAHA)

But your right, standardized tests are bullcr*p. they do the same thing that IQ tests do, and only test for a certain range of people. it is the widest range of people, but its not everyone. I dont happen to fall in that range of people. I test well, but i dont learn the ways that public schools teach, so im in the sh*tter for that one. The only way i managed to get into this college was by going to a community college first, after high school, and doing a year of bang up work. i managed to get on the deans list of exceptional students, so i was a shoe in here. (117% on a final in one class... i ended up getting a B in that class to.... odd)

I take it seriously too, Nai. I took the PSAT just for practice and scored in the 91st percentile of college-bound juniors... and I'm only a freshman. The test is actually designed for juniors... so I think by the time I get there I'll be ready. My math score was what really pulled me down... In the reading parts I scored something like 77/80.. I dunno.
