IQ stands for intelligence quotient. Supposedly, it is a score that tells one how “bright” a person is compared to other people. The average IQ is by definition 100; scores above 100 indicate a higher than average IQ and scores below 100 indicate a lower that average IQ. Theoretically, scores can range any amount below or above 100, but in practice they do not meaningfully go much below 50 or above 150.

Half of the population have IQ’s of between 90 and 110, while 25% have higher IQ’s and 25% have lower IQ’s:

Descriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients

IQ Description % of Population

130+Very superior 2.2%

120-129 Superior 6.7%

110-119 High average 16.1%

90-109 Average 50%

80-89 Low average 16.1%

70-79 Borderline 6.7%

Below 70 Extremely low 2.2%

IQ Score = 125 Your score


What does your score mean?

Way to go! Your performance on the test was well above the population average. Typically, people with scores in this range perform very well academically, can relatively easily make it through university and generally achieve success in life.

WhooooooooHooooooooooo! :D I'm superierrr...supeiuror...suprierror...I'm really smart! :D

Damn. I was sure I go them all right . . .

Hey Hey,

Been a while since I've done one of these online things.

What does your score mean?
Wow! A score above 130 means that your performance on this test was way above average. Actually, according to this test, you are absolutely brilliant. Only a very small percentage of people score this high.

I'm actually rather disappointed, if I submit the same test in the same time as a woman (I just tested this, my IQ goes up to 139... they "adjust it")... This doesn't seem fair to me... we have to make women feel like they are more intelligent than they really are?

Then again, these online tests are usually bs... this one put me 20 points lower than I scored on the last real IQ test I took and about 40 points lower than the last online one... Oh well.. I had some fun and I killed some time.

Peace,
HT

got 123 - not bad saying as its 3:18am and was having problems focusing on screen never mind getting brain in gear - lol

No, only the stupid ones. ;)

I think most normal "intelligent" women are comfortable with their status. I don't see the big need to make so many adjustments in this world....just to save a few egos. I'd rather take the score without the adjustment...at least that way I'd know how I really compare.

I know...all you feminists hate me...so what. ;)

One below HTR but, Hot Dang, don't be hate'n: IQ Score 132 = Very superior 2.2%

~cheers~

Edit: guess that makes me a real smart a$$ :D

OK...Tell the truth...how many of you guys used calculators? :D

Not,

They only required basic formulas you could do in your head, and the numbering sequence questions all had patterns that were easy to recognise, (i.e. +4 *4, +3 *3, +2 *2, etc.) May thier batteries run out during a final exam if they used a calculator on this test. :D

It is a good question : why does it adjust for gender ? Presumably because their female sample does not match standard distribution, which is to say that women score lower than expected. The same reason that a child's score is adjusted -- the Gaussian curve assumes basic equality.

It makes sense to adjust a child's score, but a woman's ? All mature adults really should be compared equally.

It turns out that there are many more smart people than the curve predicts :

For example, people with ratio IQ's of 130 or above would be expected to comprise about 3% of the population. In practice they constitute about 4% of the population, and their corresponding deviation Q is 128 or above. About one person with a ratio IQ of 150 or above would be expected in every 1,000 members of the general population. In practice, about one person in every 160 has a ratio IQ of 150 or above. The deviation IQ corresponding to a childhood ratio IQ of 150 is 144. Similarly, one would expect to find someone with a ratio IQ of 160 or above once in every 10,000 members of the general public. In practice, one in every 1,000 people has a ratio IQ of 160 or above, and the deviation IQ assigned to these individuals is 150 or above.

I don't mind IQ tests, they measure the core components of certain type of intelligence. But it is not the only kind of intelligence, and I dare say not the most important.

And besides I was stoned when I took the test. That easily knocks of a good 20 or so points. ::smoke-ko

Hey Hey,

What on earth could you possibly use a calculator for on that??? Then again, I'm the only one that doesn't take a calculator at work for pricing out pricing plans because I do it all in my head if you're dealing with less than 5 digits for each number, then your head is faster, less than 10 and paper is faster.. more than 10.. then maybe it's time for a calculator..

Well..the older I get the further down I go :D ...when I was 5 or 6 the school had me tested at a university and I scored 140 something...about ten years ago I took one of those T.V. specials on and tested about 135...now I'm down to 125 on this test...

at this rate when I'm 75... :eek:

Hey Hey,

Just so ya know, you aren't supposed to multiple your score by 2... that's considered cheating.
:D

I got 141, and I didn't have to tell the thing that I'm a 7-year old girl like Gore had to to get 146 :D

You should always be honest, it gets more accurate results.

123 checkin in!

Ha, After last Friday's quiz, I had to bow out on this one. The last time I took an IQ test (Required for security clearance review) Me and my colleague scored between 75 an 80. Took us almost 9 months to prepare.

We were nearly fired! But it was the DoD and what the heck. We both make more money in the private sector.

You miss understand. It took us 9 months to figure out how the tests were orginized so we could get a low score.

Hi dinowuff,

Doesn't matter really ;) these tests are like lie detectors...semi-accurate to accurate...they don't prove anything...they just give an indication of where you might place...

I knew a kid growing up who wasn't the brightest bulb...but he could tear down a motorcycle or car and put it back together like they were lego blocks...

we're all smart in our own area of interest. :D

Eg ;)

My little cousin {in the first grade} is really bad in mathmatics he can't subtract nor add two numbers in the class, but when it comes to calculate money he is really quick and precies.
For instance, I asked him once, what is 10 and 10? He said 100 .... but when I asked him If i gave you 10 pounds and your father gave you as much, how much is the total? he said, instantly, 20 pounds .... I laughed till tearing .... :D

I think he has a great future in the banking and finicial business .... lol

in binary multiplication 10 and (x) 10 is 100.
He's smarter than you think!

I will take it later this afternoon when I have 45 minutes to kill. I have taken clinically administered IQ tests and I average around 153ish, but most online ones seem to score higher for some reason. I will be interested to see how this one scores.

It doesn't really mean anything though. It is just your ability to reason things out faster.


ASVAB = 100
SAT = 1460

I'm just good at taking tests. Real life is much different than these tests.

IQ Score = 107

But on the 4th page and i just clicked random answers for the long quesions :D
