What did you score? Do you think the test is a good measure of intelligence? Would you hire somone above someone else based soley on IQ?

IQ tests vary within a range, generally- I have scored anywhere from 160-172, but I dont think it's a very broad measure of intelligence.  It would be equivalent to measuring high jump and sprint speed as a way to guage athletic ability in basketball.  It is related to intelligence, and perhaps gives a measure of potential, but isnt the thing itself.  I beleive that social intelligence, the ability to understand others, communicate your ideas and feelings, and achieve social goals are a better measure of the most important kinds of intelligence-and these are not measured in an IQ test.  The second most important ability I would rate would be judgement and long-term planning, also not measured in IQ tests.  There are a number of disorders, including FAS, in which the person's measurable IQ seems to be little effected, but they have very poor judgement and social connection.  If IQ were that important, then the mose successful, powerful, and joyful people would be those with the highest IQs, and studies have shown that these people generally fall in the range of 120-140.

http://www.intelligencetest.com/ has a very accurate IQ test.\n\n\nI took it and scored 130, which I beleive is very close to my actual IQ. You really should try it; it's one of the best ones on the web.

Do you think that the truly intelligent people are the ones that are not satisfied with the level of learning they have achieved, and are constantly trying to find ways to learn more?  And don't spend their time talking about how much smarter they are than everyone else?  : )

I think you are right: It is not smart to test your knowledge in many cases, but not all. Sometimes, it must be in accordance with the job, when there are computer tasks as function to develop. Also, could be a filter: there are many candidates for a job. They need to filter with tests like this. But you can find the most of the agencies only ask you about your level (beginner, expert,...)

I think the IQ number serves limited purpose. But since you brought it up.\n\nCollege students have about IQ=130\nEinstein's estimated to be IQ=160\nLeonardo Da Vinci IQ=220\n(Got this from the Book of List)\n\nMain thing to note is that Einstein IQ=160 is comparatively low compare with Leonardo BUT he was able to achieve much when given sufficient time to analyse a problem. The IQ=160 is around Professor Level IQ.\n\nSo if you have perservence and determination, there is really nothing to stop you. Go for something you have a passion in and give yourself more time and you will reap the fruit of your labour.

IQ tests are usually standardized to produce a score, based on the amount of questions you answer correctly and the difficulty of them.\n\nHistorically IQ has been mental age divided by chronological age, but in adulthood, this way of measuring is faulty.  Hence the point-scored tests.

It's better to find out what the average score was for the particular IQ test you took, as all IQ tests are different.  They try to be as close to a standard as possible, but not all tests are created equal.  I scored something over 140 on one, but it may have been easier than the test you took.  I know that 120 was considered above average for the test I took.

Well, according to Tickle.com, the average person taking their IQ test scored a 115.  The highest average was in DC, with 119, and the lowest was Mississippi, with 112. But, who really knows.  It's not like everyone in the countries take the stupid test.  I scored a 132, and guess where I live...Mississippi.  Go figure.

yours must be pretty low since you couldn't find\n\nhttp://www.iqtest.com/

I think it is pretty ok yes.. I think 120 or above is high intellect, but am pretty sure 111 is still quite good.

i doubt it I am very smart I have taken quite a few online and offline IQ tests and mine is 160. Einstien's was 168 so if she is not lying she is alot smarter than him and I doubt that i think out of the whole populace of MENSA only 1 maybe 2 have an IQ that high!!

Well, scientifically, your I.Q. determines if you are classifed as 'genius' or not.  Genius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145. Yeah! I knew I was! :)

No, 87 is not at all an idiot IQ.  It's well within the normal range.  Average on any IQ test is 100, with a standard deviation of 15.  That means 68% of all scores are somewhere between 85 and 115.  While 87 is toward the lower end of that range, it's nothing to be worried about.  95% of scores are between 70 and 130; it's beyond those scores that terms like "retarded" and "gifted" are best applied.\n\nRealize also that IQ doesn't really measure "intelligence".  There are MANY facets to intelligence, and an IQ score is just one score on a single test.  While this test is better than most in that it divides a couple of different skills, it's still just one test.  No one should make life decisions based on a single number.

I don't care to tell you my intelligence quotient because I don't  want to brag to you. I will however tell you I am more than 1 in a million and in the profoundly gifted range. You can say why do I answer questions online if I am so brilliant, and my answer to you is that I am studying social patterns of individuals below and at the genius level. Regardless, my interests at my age of 13 are quantum physics, law, medicine, and architecture. I have already self learned almost all parts of mathematics. I am currently learning Calculus.

166 really?? I would think you could figure it out. LOL\n\ntop score 300. average 110-115, genius (top 2 %) 130+\n\nIt was estimated that Marilyn Vos Savants IQ was 230. but when IQ gets very high it is impossible to tell. There actually is not top score but it is estimated that it is almost beyond improbability for a homo sapiens to score higher than 300 and not be another species.\n\nPart of the measuring problem is ceiling bump. i.e. how does a person with an IQ of 135 design a test to quantify the IQ of someone with and IQ of 200 or 250.\n\nWith an IQ of 166 one thing that you Will notice. People that have IQ of less than say 120 will notice that you are smart but not be able to discern how smart. People that are over 135 can discern the difference between two people one with say an IQ of 145 an another with an IQ of 165.

Absolutely not. The tests aren't timed and the questions are not challenging enough, you should try the High IQ society...\nhttp://www.highiqsociety.org/iq_tests/\nThese tests are the most accurate online IQ tests available.

There are dozens of sites that do that sort of thing, but remember that these are not real IQ tests.  They can be fun to do, but they usually score higher than the real IQ tests.  An an IQ score doesn't necessarily mean a great deal.  More important than the number is what you do with it.  Best of luck.
