So, I've always wondered what our lovely members at the SPforums scored on a standardized IQ test. Please be honest, unless you really want to lie about it

Post all your test scores if you've taken the test a few times. If you've never taken it, then GET OUT! I kid, try taking one of those online tests and come back here with your result.

I scored a 111 when I was tested at age 14 by a school councilor. Later I was tested by a psychologist I was seeing and scored a 137. I then took a nonverbal IQ test designed to measure intelligence in people with mental aberrations which cause them to see reality a bit differently known as Raven's Progressive Matrices and scored a 151, that was 2 years ago. Raven's Progressive Matrices - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remember, this is just for fun. I don't sincerely believe that your IQ is a measure of whom you are as a person so don't come in here trying to crusade against my oppressive, evil tyranny because you scored an 82 a week ago but everything KV posts is obviously BS.

I got a 165 when I took it when I was 10. I got a 130 when I was 10 and took a different one and cheated to make sure 100% of the answers were correct. That's when I stopped believing in the tooth fairy - I mean, IQ test.

I suppose if you were smart enough to cheat you deserve the high score

You sound so serious. I think you may have missed my point. Or am I missing yours?

Cmon Waxy! I'm sure yours won't shrink in the presence of my massive IQ score

You're going to make me dig around in my drawers, aren't you? File drawers, that is!

Wax Frog · 03-29-2011, 07:01 AM

My Mensa test results are lost to history (or maybe on file somewhere in their offices; I'm disinclined to bother requesting them, as I found membership mostly useless), but I do still have my "World's Hardest I.Q. Test" (as published in Omni Magazine in 1985) score.

I.Q. - 143
Percentile - 99.6

Perhaps I should look into this Raving Lunatic's Madrigals you speak of!

Yes I think you'd find it quite abstruse.

I also refuse to apply to Mensa because I am afraid of becoming pretentious. I suppose that makes me pretentious by default.

Via email, I asked the local rep what resources Mensa might provide, career- or education-wise. He got kind of huffy in his to-the-negative replies, so I just dropped the whole organization in my mental wastebasket...

You should have set this up as a poll!

Helesinine · 03-29-2011, 09:10 AM

I took an IQ test in school somewhere between 7th and 10th grade and scored 180 or more. I'm a genius! Mwahahahahaha!

But taking that test took me three times longer than supposed to, so I'll have to divide my magnificent score by 3...

brendannz · 03-29-2011, 09:18 AM

280

elucidate · 03-29-2011, 09:24 AM

I don't recall ever being tested. I probably was at high school, but that was 20 years ago...who can remember that far?

gigij · 03-29-2011, 01:52 PM

138

If I have no idea what that means does that mean I'm stupid?

Jon Tore · 03-29-2011, 04:09 PM

I almost never really take the time to finish them.. but I do recall one of those tests giving me something along the lines of 98 when I was done.

ssandra · 03-29-2011, 04:44 PM

124 last time I tested ( a few years back

).

I think that if I happened to be better in math, I'd score a lot higher. Or if I were allowed to use a calculator.... which I was not.... :S

I know I am smart in some area's and not so smart in others. Doing math in my head is close to impossible for me. Figuring things out, thinking outside of the box, being creative, that's easy for me.

Language is usually easy for me as well. Knowing what to say, when, how things sound best, etc.

Weena · 03-30-2011, 03:26 AM

Okay so I just had a look and there are no good free tests available. It's either "math only" questions, or a "agree to pay us monthly if you want your results". Sure, I'd love to pay a monthly fee just to do some intellectual masturbation

.

supertom · 03-30-2011, 04:52 AM

I had a look at Raven's Progressive Matrices, thats a much better test a more accurate view of reasoning skills. Well actually I did the test 60 questions and at the end i found out i needed to pay a fee to get my results. I'm not a happy camper.

BASTARDS! Now they know if your are smart or not and you don't.

How about this, though. We set up our own tests.

I'll start:

1. Weena is:

a) awesome
b) awesome
c) awesome

I want you to really think about your answer, here.

Correct answer is actually A because if you looked past it and tried to find something else than you'd be wrong.

Without me its just aweso

Weena · 03-30-2011, 05:30 AM

Now you can vote in the poll, you magnificent brain you

Ps: I'm actually having a super-interesting day of cleaning up mildew of things and switching rooms around and sorting "shite" so I needed to call myself awesome to spice it up. You're very awesome too, btw!

ZephyrusX · 03-30-2011, 06:38 AM

6000 - the same IQ as 6000 PE teachers

*goes back to watching Red Dwarf aka 'studying'*

cacheborn · 03-30-2011, 06:57 AM

Never took the test. Once tried online, then at the end of the test they tell you to jump through various hoops of registration. I lost interest at that point.

Can I resist quoting Seinfeld? Of course not.

Jerry : That's because you are stupid enough to wear the cologne.
