The IQ test was too hard for me 
Why are they insulting me?
And I used to think tickle.com was a nice site suitable for children. What happened?
That cannot be right. I am too serious to be silly.
What is wrong with dating pals? Brush of the arm, what? I am not some creepy bug, and it's called swooning, not creasing.

Which test are we supposed to take? I took the Classical test and got...
Your IQ score is 142
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.

I took the Super IQ test as well and got one point lower...
your Super IQ score is 141
Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information.
The way you think about things makes you an Intuitive Investigator. This means you have multiple talents and can do anything you set your mind to. You're able to detect numerical patterns easily and are able to grasp the true complexity of the world, both in its details and in a more abstract form. You've got a sharp logical mind and are adept at using words to get even a difficult point across. The combination of all these things makes you truly brilliant.
How did we determine that your thinking style is that of an Intuitive Investigator? When we examined your test results further, we analyzed how you scored on 8 dimensions of intelligence: spatial, organizational, abstract reasoning, logical, mechanical, verbal, visual and numerical. The 3 dimensions you scored highest on combine to make you an Intuitive Investigator. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities.

Here you go cierdan. It is a proper IQ test, I think

I must confess that I am too tired (it's 12:45am) to answer the first question

Normally time is limited for a usual IQ test. The fact there's no limits to answer each question reduces its credibility.stormbind said:Here you go cierdan. It is a proper IQ test, I think

I've done several IQ tests on-line in the past. I tend to have better scores when there are in French than when there are in English. That's usually because all the questions related to language are harder when you're a non-native since you can't apprehend language nuances as good as a native speaker. For Ciceronian's test, I've got 132. Though the time was illimited and the questions sounded relatively easy.
Yeah, I have had to concede points because I couldn't remember what denominations of US currency existed (penny, nickel, dime, quarter - but my mind blanked at the time of the test). It is supposed to measure your ability to calculate, not your nationality!

Which one did you take? There's five different ones.

There is NO accepted online test, and there can't ever be.
Still, there are huge differences in the quality of questions - but the score will never be even remotely accurate.
1) No time limit.
2) Remember, it's a quotient - how on Earth do you expect to get something like an applicable 'mean'?
3) People with a standardized Binet IQ of less than 90 hardly participate in such tests. So, low scores can only be predicted.
4) Any IQ test that doesn't explain how it increments is not trustworthy: The test gives your relative standings in standard deviations - but, if +1SD means +15 or +10 on the scale needs to be mentioned. Both are used in reliable testings, +10 is the scale for the Intelligence Structure Test IST, IMHO the most convincing one.
Of course, those online tests are usually deliberately too high - so it's safe to assume they'd all use the 15 intervall.
Now, those tests could do something useful - they could calculate your score on the basis of all submitters, not a hypothetical Average Joe.
But obviously, if you score a 80, you won't buy the T-Shirt or mug.

Technically, ANY IQ test - whether online or in real life - is inaccurate. You can't judge (and rank!) people's intelligence by such a quick and limited method. IMO, the way to know how intelligent a person is is NOT by reading a silly score card giving you a number, but by actually TALKING to them and getting to know them.

Obviously I am also aware of the fact that these IQ tests are extremely unreliable. I posted the link to see what others would get and whether their results would be way above what one would expect. Most of the people who posted their scores scored on average about 2 standard deviations above mean, one standard deviation being 15. Being 2 standard deviations above the mean puts you in the top 2.5% of the population. Even though (judging by their posts) I am sure that many regular CFC posters have above average IQs, such a result is absurd. Another possibility would be that those who scored average or lower were to ashamed to post their results.
Before posting the link I thought that my result was actually fairly reasonable, as I estimated my IQ to be around 130 or slightly above. My type, analytical mathematician also reflects my prime abilities. But some results seem to be way off, such as Lord Parkin's 157
That would make him outdo Darwin or Mozart in IQ.

I got 101 un the Ultimate IQ. I found some of the question very confusing.
