Mine cannot be measured. It's either too high or too low; I can't remember.

Anyway, I got about 20 questions in and got distract- hey! anybody wanna ride bikes?

Well, the low scorers are too busy fretting over Adam Dunn's strikeouts to post their results.

Re: Iq Test

Congratulations, Cindy!
Your IQ score is 141

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 know it's bunk if it thinks I have exceptional math skills.

Re: Iq Test

I've taken these before and typically range from 130 something to 150, I also know they are highly inaccurate as a measure of "IQ".

If you are regularly getting a 20 point range from tests like these, then, yes, they are total bullcrap. If they are truly efficacious they should agree much more closely with one another. I didn't take the test, but at first blush it looks about as scientific as my 6-year-old's Kool Aid stands.

Re: Iq Test

I don't think I've ever taken an IQ test and I never will if I can help it. My parents both tested over 160. I am terrified I won't live up to that. So I just won't try. This is a fine way of going through life, I've found.

Re: Iq Test

With the exception of one or two questions, I thought it was a breeze.

Had I taken a little more time, I could have had the harder ones, but my patience runs low. If I don't see it at first glance, I'm on my way to the next one.

Re: Iq Test

It might be funny to try an tank this and see what it says.

Congratulations, Pedro!

Your IQ Score is 75

Your Intellectual Type is Incredible Moron. This means you are highly likely to not be able to read this paragraph and have the natural fluency of highly volatile diarrhea and the visual and spatial strengths of a goat. Those skills contribute to your closed and exhausted mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

Re: Iq Test

I just missed every question and got a 72.

You have the unusual talent of being equally good at both mathematical and verbal skills. That, paired with your thirst to learn through experience, makes you an Inventive Inquisitor.

Your strength lies in the methodology you have naturally adopted to understand the world. Basically, you have perfected "learning through living." You have a unique ability to teach others by taking them through actual experiences. Your talents come in handy especially when confronted with unfamiliar or unproven situations. Most people search their brains for previously stored information that might help in a given situation. You, however, take things as they come and see things as they are. You are a great improviser and are probably open to an unusual amount of change.

It also compared me to Ben Franklin. Apparently Ben Franklin was a moron who stumbled into everything by luck. Think of what he could've achieved with an 80 IQ.
