Mnemolth Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 [b]PLEASE READ BEFORE VOTING!!![/b] In the weakest/strongest points thread many people have listed themselves as smart/intelligent. Which prompted me to think upon it for a moment, and I thought it would be a good idea to conduct an experiment. Just a fun one. :D Make your vote [b] and then[/b] take an IQ test [url=http://www.testcafe.com/iqtest/]here[/url]. Although you have to register, its hassle free and quick (12mins). It looks professional enough so I guess it should be 'relatively' accurate. Still, with only T & F options, I wouldn't rely on it completely. I mean I scored 159! :eek: WTF? You can post how your voted and what you scored on the IQ test was, or you can just post one or the other, or post neither. :D This is just a fun exercise for the curious and those with a little bit of time on their hands. ;) Maybe you'll learn something. Maybe you won't. The point really isn't what you scored, but what have you learnt about yourself? ;) For the more courageous or simply with more time, you should try [url=http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1641/iqown2.html] this IQ test[/url]. IMHO this is a better test. I scored a more believable 142. You don't need to register but it doesn't automatically mark itself, you have to write down your answers on a sheet of paper and manually mark yourself. Of course, taking an excruciating 45 mins, its a major hassle, and less fun. Oh btw I voted for 'better than average'. :D PS: I wouldn't take the results too seriously. Personally I don't really believe in IQ tests. I mean how do you test intelligence? Especially since many of us would disagree about exactly what intelligence means in the first place! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I consider myself to be average... I only got a 145 on the first test, whatever that reall means lol. I'm not sure if they are time based, but I left the room for a while which could have hurt the score... considering it says to do it as fast as possible. I dunno though.

Mnemolth Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 Err... yes. The test is meant to be done in one sitting in under 12 mins. That is, you should press 'submit' after 12 mins even if you haven't finished answering ALL the questions. The test is very time sensitive, and is invalid if you take more than 12 mins to do it. Of course repeating the test also makes it invalid. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kei Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 [color=blue]I got a 121, which is supposed to mean I have above average intelligence, but I don't really care.

Guest Matt Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 [color=red][b]The test took me 8 min and 43 seconds. ;) I always thought I was average, so either something is wrong with this test, or I am very smart. I scored a 146. :wow: [/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I'm smart enough not to take a test to tell me how smart I am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I accidently selected "Just your average genius". I meant to pick "I'm better than average." I got 142 and finished in 10 minutes exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char! Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 [color=teal][size=1]The test wouldn't load on my computer... Bleh. That's okay though; I don't really need a test to tell me that I am retarded. :) --Mike[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know I'm smarter than an average person. On my SAT's when I was in the 6 or 7th grade I scored a 12th grade+ on English and Science and a little lower on Math 'cause I suck at Math. So I know I am pretty smart. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 If all blogs are tweegs, and some tweegs and blurps, then..... Good God in heaven, but I hate those questions. I took both, scored between 145 and 150 both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I got a 150, but that's because I got unlucky. (I voted the top one on your poll) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1] I voted for the 'above average' setions, look! [quote][b] A person whose IQ score falls in the range of 111-128 is considered to be "above average intelligence".[/b][/quote] I was right! ^^ (I got a 126...)[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 [color=red]I took it, and I got 126 as well Mist. So I'm smarter than the average bear...yeh Some of those questions were just confusing upon themselves...and to many of them were about math. And I suck at math. But really, I think anyone is pretty smart at certain things, like I'm good at Science and English...and someone could be good at Math while I suck at it, and someone could be good at speaking speeches, and so on and so on and so forth...so no one is stupid, everyone has a gift from god, a talent.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hmm, I got a 160. Too bad I was slowed down talking to someone, lol. I only did it for fun though. You can rack that number up as high as you want, but it's ethics that determine success. So, I don't see much importance in IQ tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinetic Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 [color=darkblue][size=1] I was thinking average to above average, and I got the same score as on my other IQ Test, 148. BTW: Genkai, it doesn't matter what age you are :p A 4 year old could get 203 or something, lol. It just depends on the person. E D I T: Whoa, did time count?

Semjaza Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I really don't get what these tests prove. They feel like those "Idiot Tests" kids used to give eachother in like 3rd grade. Widgets are to Bloops as Norfawhatevers, blah... I go totally blank when I see those questions. The pattern and word tests were actually really easy though.

Rain Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I got 143...that's weird cos I did this other IQ test at [url]www.emode.com[/url] and I got 122...eh, I don't care I wasn't going to do that other test...write the answers down yourself? 45 minutes?

Fall Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I coted for your third option. And this is what I got: [b]Congratulations! Your general IQ score is 163. A person whose IQ score falls in the range of 161 and above is considered to be a "genius". [/b] ....My god....if this is true, I'm going to try harder at school.

Yeah, I was too lazy:D [/B][/QUOTE] Did the Emode one. Hmm...all these tests are beginning to seem pretty much the same...:( The questions are almost identical. The results are different though. For this one they did ask if I did IQ Tests before, so they may have reduced my marks. Personally though, I think a lot of that section was just a scam. My email address, my marital status, my first name? I mean how the heck does my first name have anything to do with my IQ? Sheesh! Anyways, its lucky I got a dummy email a/c I never check (thank god for free web based email). What are the value of IQ tests? Well, [b]assuming[/b] you don't do these things repeatedly or on a regular basis, IQ tests are good for knowing [b]very[/b] roughly where you stand in terms of academic ability. If you're a complete idiot and think you're brilliant, or vice versa, I think IQ tests will set you straight. Anyways, here's my result: --------------- Your IQ score is 140 This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Emode's Ultimate IQ test. The even better news is that at Emode, we've taken your IQ test one step further. During the test, you answered four different types of questions ? mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We were able to analyze how you did on each set of those questions, which allows us to shed light on the way your brain uniquely functions. At the same time, we compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Visionary Philosopher. The first thing we can tell you about that is you're equally good at mathematical and verbal tasks, and learn best through experience. -------- Hmm....Visionary Philosopher....hmm...*dreams of living amongst the ranks of Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine before somone shouts rudely* They mean bullsh*t artist you w*nker! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathGuy2 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I got a 162 on the first test. I also got a 187 on iqtest.com and a 145 somewhere else. I seriously doubt the accuracy of these tests that hawk "intelligence profiles" - they might inflate your score so you feel that you are smart, and should buy their product to see how smart you are (not). IQ Tests (I think) are the ratio of the age of an average-intelligence person with your intelligence to your age. Therefore, being 13, I have an (average) mental age of a 21.4-year-old. I've always suspected true anime/video-game enthusiasts and Internet users were smarter than the general population. Does anyone know where one can take an "official" IQ test, one that one gets a valid score (e.g., that Mensa will accept)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 [color=indigo]I chose "I'm better than average" on the poll, and that's actually what I got on the first one; a 123. On the Emode one I got a 129, and I'm apparently an "Inventive Inquisitor" that's "good at mathematical and verbal skills and have a thirst for learning through experience." I agree with the math skills, but I'm not so sure about verbal skills. Fun tests. They managed to hold my attention for a good half hour, lol. :twitch:[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
