<p>what is your IQ?</p>
<p>where can i go to get tested cause i am just curious as to what my IQ is.</p>
<p>i mean i don't recall ever getting tested for my IQ as a kid or anything.</p>
<p>try putting the words "free IQ test" into Google and take a free test. It won't be perfectly accurate but if taken in simulated standard conditions, it should be close. Another way is to take your GRE, SAT, or ACT scores and use a chart to convert them (this method generally uses z-scores and research suggesting that the average college student has an IQ of 115 on an SD=15 IQ scale). Once again, this will only yield an approximation, but it will give you some idea of where you stand.</p>
<p>well i took the IQ test over here: Free</a> IQ Test - Fast, Free and Accurate Online IQ Test</p>
<p>and apparently got a 125.</p>
<p>but i don't know about that test because a lot of it was composed of math questions and since im an engineering major i think i kind of have an unfair advantage since i've been doing math for many hours a day for the past couple of years. they should have called it a math test and not an IQ test.</p>

<li>It is best to test it when you're younger/grade school age, as it is more accurate and it differs a lot from the online ones.</li>
</ol>
<p>I got a 154 on that website. Really, though, IQ tests are very subjective (I've taken several and have gotten scores ranging from 60-160).</p>
<p>when run in a standardized environment, they generally have a +.7 to +.9 test-retest correlation coefficient (and a similar level of content validity when checked against another IQ test), but taken online, etc., is going to cause a large amount of variability b/c of the many variables to be taken into account that could effect performance.</p>
<p>When I got mine professionally tested by a psychologist, it was 148, but I usually get well over 180 on those online ones, so I wouldn't trust them.</p>
<p>Yeah, those online IQ tests don't really have terribly high test-retest validity. I've taken various ones over the last few years out of boredom and have scored anywhere from 130 to 165. A 35 point range isn't very precise, to say the least. </p>
<p>That being said, I don't really understand the point of taking IQ tests. That sounds silly coming from someone who has taken several, but honestly, do you need to take a test to validate your intelligence?</p>
<p>Of course, my user name indicates my IQ, ;)</p>
<p>Please don't take IQ very seriously. It means very little. The is coming from someone who has a "genius" IQ.</p>
<p>Online IQ tests can be given no merit at all. IQ tests use a psychologist to evaluate the complexity of mostly open-ended questions and tasks. A multiple choice test or one that only accepts one right answer can no longer be considered valid.</p>
<p>I also do not understand the fascination behind IQ tests besides curiosity and/or bragging rights.</p>
<p>Passing an IQ with high marks may be attuned to passing a fitness test. Neither will prove that you are an Olympian or the next DaVinci.</p>
<p>Where is a test to show knowledge of more practical things? I guess that would be life.</p>
<p>Everyone who went to school in the states gets their iq tested between 1st and 3rd grade. the school district does it to see if they need to move you to an excellerated program or if you need to be put into a slower moving program. the whole class usually does it at one time, so thats why you probably dont remember it. you only get tested individually if you have an extremely high or low score, as the school district wants to make sure the score is accurate before they put you into a program that is going to cost them more money.</p>
<p>my ap psych. teacher gave all his classes their iq test scores at the end of senior year.</p>
<p>i was apparently tested in 3rd grade</p>
<p>once your 18 you can go to your HS office and ask for your iq score, its in your student file.</p>
<p>^ never knew that.</p>

<li>I deal with it.</li>

<p>90-100. I'm incredibly retarted in some areas (spatial relations, memory gahh) IQ is certainly not everything, although I do struggle to grasp certain concepts at first. I've still always done excellent academically, so I'm not too concerned.</p>
<p>I did the one on tickle some time back and got about 136. Eh. I doubt it's accurate since it claims 140 to be their standard for genius IQ. I get by in school and if I get into any of the colleges I've applied to, that'll be all the proof I need.</p>
<p>^Exactly, I got a 140 on a seemingly 'scientifically formulated' online test, but I don't consider myself to be a genius in the least. Try not to give too much validity to it, though, I've met some people who are supposedly extremely intelligent, but who are grade-A morons in every other regard.</p>
<p>It's akin to mining metals; you can have an exceedingly high quality ore, but without any kind of refinement or processing or treatment, it's almost completely useless.</p>
<p>I generally get a 140, and I've taken quite a few. But I don't put any real weight on them (I just get curious).</p>
<p>When I hear people talk about their IQs I pretty much always here obviously inflated numbers. Either flat out lies, or obscenely inflated scores from free online IQ tests. I remember being obsessed with this a few years back, and took a number of these free online IQ tests and getting a few scores upwards of 140, which is obviously not true (a score of 140 equates to 99.6 percentile). I searched for the most accurate IQ test online (don't remember where it is though, but you could probably find it too or something better because this was a few years back), and took it 3 times (all different questions each time), and had 2 scores of 109 and one of 111 so I'd assume my real IQ is right around there. </p>
<p>I think everyone has (or can have) a realistic grasp on how smart they are compared to others. If you look at a percentile chart and find that it seems way off, then it probably is.</p>
