I dunno, apparently like 120 and up is pretty cool. Just remember that IQ tests examine a very special set of skills. They have no bearing on your rhthym, your style, your potential as a human being, or whether you're nice person.

If you have to ask, you're not.\n\nI'm really not trying to be rude but if you are smart, you know it. And that's no matter what any educator or IQ test will tell you. Those tests are all very well and good but they're man-made so are inherently flawed.

An IQ rating is as good as the test measures.\nIntelligence is not so easily defined.\nI think all men are created with the same brain functions.\nTherefore the capacity has great potential. Most people do not realize the fantastic capacity that their brain have.\nHow the brain is used depend onthe person's culture and motivations.\nOn that note ,I believe that all humans (unless brain )damaged ) all have the same ability to use it.\n\nA President knowledge and inteligence  is as good as what his advisors give him.\n\nSome dont take advise and some are foolish.\n\nSo the intelligence of a President is Advisor dependent.\n\nWe cannot judge which country has a better inteligent President.It a cultural Preference. What is considered stupid by One is considered Inteligent by the Other!

Your IQ has nothing to do with it. Your username is ILOVETOGETSHITFACE, which tells me you're probably not the smartest creature on the planet. If you want people to think you are smart, I suggest you change it, sweetie!

100 is average. 140 is considered a genius. So 130 is pretty good. Because I.Q. scales are on a bell curve, it places you in the top five to 10 percent of the population. \nDepending on your talents and interests, you could find yourself in a whole range of professions. Mensa reports people with high I.Q.s don't fit in one job: Some are rocket scientists, but others are janitors.\nOf course, an high I.Q. makes it easier to master a 'brainy' job.

On the old system (out of 1600) it would have been pretty good. On the new system starting this year (2400) I would have to say it's mediocre.\n\nAs for Crao craz's site, I don't think it's very accurate. I happen to know my IQ, and, according to my test scores, my IQ should be WAY higher than it actually is. I also know plenty of people who scored 1500 and above (on the old system. Granted, the system might have held true 20 years ago when the average was much lower.) As it stands, it's NOT a tiny fraction of the population.

i actually find it qITe amusing. it seems worth while though and gets people going. i have only just joined yahoo so uit was a good welcome\n\ni don't no what will happen though. I have heard that many years in the past have been rubbish. I'm not entirely sure whether this is true or not, but i have heard that most years have been good. \n\ni can honestly say this is the only year i am sure upon and have only heard off m8s the past years.

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.

I don't think we'll ever know.  High IQ does not equal fame or "success."\n\nIf you're talking about the most intelligent popular person, most would say Einstein.  I think he was one really smart guy, but come on...he had one big idea.  He was a one-hit wonder.  Granted, it was a BIG idea, but I don't think that physicists needed E=mc^2 to figure out the atomic bomb or atomic fission.\n\nI think that most individuals would not qualify as "most intelligent."  I think you'll have to look at a society for that one.  The most intelligent society, I think, would be the Western world, including Japan and others that are of a similar perspective.  They made great strides in human rights, technology, world peace, and charity.  And these things were accomplished by many great leaders, and the society that agreed with them.

For the most part research is geared toward men and most IQ tests can be a little gender biased. For that matter- so is our school system...Boys are socialized to be smarter and better in things like math and science and girls are socialized to be nice and pretty.\n\nThere is no truth to this and people need to learn how to read research results with a critical eye. Like for years the research showed that African Americans had lower IQ's than caucasians. This is certainly not true and these results only happened because the IQ tests are created based on caucasion experiences.

HI IQ seems to be really serious. They have more interesting tests than tickle and if your are over 124, you can join and be a part of the think tank, games, forum.

Mensa is a club that is supported by the membership.  It is not free, like Yahoo answers.  The club can benefit by paid memberships, but whether you would benefit as a member would be entirely up to you.\n\nSince the club is entirely run by volunteers, with the exception of the administrative office, you can only participate in activities that are arranged by the members.  If you do not intend to provide any support to the club, by paying membership fees and volunteering to participate in activities, then NO, you won't get any benefit out of the club.
