1. so what was your score? :b

nosey me.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. 172

just kidding. 139

did you take it?

actually, think this test is pretty accurate since I took a real one that put me at 137

[Fleshdancer]

2. I took the time to take the test but

they want to charge me $9.95 for the results

[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. No - the results are free - you just don't get analysis. Look at your

email - and there will be a link with your score...

[Fleshdancer]

5. lol, ok

well if I don't even know how to get my results, I can only imagine how bad the score will be :D

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. You are funny ! Man, it was so hard to calculate some of the

answers with paper wasn't it?

[Fleshdancer]

7. it was!

I'm not a fan of calculating without something to write with because I always doubt my answer and I end up doing it over and over again. Drives me nuts. On this test I had to force myself to not do a problem more than twice since it was timed.

I'm still waiting on my score to hit my email box.

[SKKY]

8. 113. I should take it again when I'm not falling asleep...

...I'm so freakin' tired right now.

[SteppingRazor]

9. 135 -- Oooooohhh! I'm "gifted"

What do I win? :bounce:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. you're a Democrat - that's your gift !! nt

[rateyes]

37. Hey LPYB...

good to see you! :hi:

Hope you've been doing OK.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

41. U2 !!! Happy Thanksgiving. Haven't seen you around for a

while. Guess I am going through a little letdown from constant striving and hoping for two years that we would gain control. Guess it's more fun on the rise then when you reach the plateau.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. p.s. did you take the test?

[rateyes]

46. No, didn't take it...

too simple for me! :sarcasm:

[unpossibles]

10. 141

which is pretty close (+/- 5) what I tend to score.

:)

Although frankly I think I need to exercise the ol' brain a bit more.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Hey, you are the smartest one so far !! congrats ! nt

[unpossibles]

14. thank you! Although I will freely admit my wife is way smarter than I am

:)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. my husband and I took an IQ test together and scored the exact

same thing. Actually think it is better when one part of a couple is smarter than the other.

[Mutley]

13. 124.

The highest I ever got on one of these online IQ tests is 134. I've never taken a real IQ test.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. 'Dear Oedi,

"Thank you for your interest in the test at IQTest.com.

"Your general IQ score is: 140"

:eyes:

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. I have a hard time taking these kinds of tests...

I'm usually really into it for the first half and then the questions start to annoy me and I phone the rest in. I don't think I have enough of an attention span to get accurate results

[crim son]

17. I'm a goddamned genius!

Again! :rofl: 147, which is less than another test I took years ago but probably closer to accurate. There's no sign of my genius as I sit here and look around. No sign.

[tkmorris]

28. LOL I hear ya

I always score very high on tests like this but I am a seriously flawed human bean. I guess "IQ" aint everything.

Oh well. :beer:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. 135.

Part of me says too high, another says too low. :P

[Pale Blue Dot]

19. 139 nt

[undeterred]

20. Where's chimpy?

[ganeshji]

21. 137

That is pretty consistent with other tests I have done.

[Pool Hall Ace]

22. 129, which makes me smarter than

a Freeper :rofl:

[elfrangel]

23. I scored 136...

Never taken a real IQ test...would like to though.

[XemaSab]

24. 137

Math is hard.

And I guessed on some of the questions. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Foly huck!

I figured you'd be around 83 gajillion.

:shrug:

[Karenca]

25. 147. nt

[tkmorris]

27. 149

I should have done it faster, I didn't realize that too much time decreased the score until after I took it. I thought the time challenge was to actually finish in the allotted time, not that it would decrease the score.

Goes to show I guess, you can get everything right but if you don't fully read the directions.....:D

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. wow, I didn't know there was a time limit. I started it and then left

and let the dog out.

[electron_blue]

29. well, I get suspicious of tests where (nearly) all the people who take it turn out gifted

Look at this reply list for example. Of course, maybe only those with high scores posted their results LOL.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. I think it's because Dems, especially here ARE smarter than

everyone else. Just think, we figured out that Bush was a diabolical fake long before the invasion. It will take years before the general masses figure it out. Far long for us to say, "I told you so."

[electron_blue]

38. LOL! I think you're right.

[Stardust]

45. Yeah, is there a Mental Midgets board on DU? (And don't direct me to FR!)

[AlienGirl]

50. Self-selecting sample...but IQ tests measure one's ability to take IQ tests, not real smarts

When I was a little bitty four-year-old depressive, I went to the psychologist. He gave me an IQ test, but it was a standard IQ test given to pre-school children that relied heavily on "pre-reading" skills. He failed to take into account that I had been reading for at least a year and was in the middle of Tom Sawyer that summer--when I went to kindergarten, I was reading above sixth grade level. (Their scale only went up to sixth-plus.) So, despite having some problems with the math skill-set and the spatial-relations abilities, I scored extremely high--based on one highly-developed freak ability.

If I take a test that puts more weight on the spatial intelligence portion than on verbal skills, I bomb miserably. I can't visualize how boxes come together or how items should stack. Heck, I can't even match my pots with their lids without trying each lid on each pot. But I can recite Housman from memory.

And I still make $9/hr, because a high IQ score is nothing without organizational skills, energy, and follow-through (the things I'm not so good in).

30. Note to self

Never take IQ test at work, while talking to co-worker...and after getting 3 hours of sleep. OUCH.

[LynzM]

31. 132.

Never taken a real IQ test. I'd be curious to.

[Ariana Celeste]

32. 133

not too far off the last test I took.

[ComerPerro]

36. I can't do anything on the computer that requires more than 2 minutes of dedicated focus

I have a fiancee...

[baldguy]

39. 120

I've been drinking, tho

[nini]

40. 141

.nt

[ChoralScholar]

43. 150

Pretty accurate. The Stanford-Binet and Otis Lennon Tests both have me at 151.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. yikes, stripes. 150. So....when did you know Bush was lying about WMD??

[ChoralScholar]

53. Before he said anything.

Psychic powers come standard on the 145-and-up model.

[TheBaldyMan]

44. I wouldn't have taken it if I knew the Co. was going to ask me to pay.

so I guess I can't be that bright.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. Baldy, Honey. you don't have to pay. you only have to

pay if you want a complete analysis. Look in your email - they send you your score !!!


peace

[AlienGirl]

49. If I'm so smart, why ain't I rich?!

[everythingsxen]

51. That's basically the worst IQ test in the world

It really has nothing to do with cognitive ability and everything to do with how fast your computer scrolls and how fast you can click the mouse...

Wheee.....

What a crappy test.

[Floogeldy]

52. It is a ruse to get your E-mail address. Can't get results unless you give them your E-mail.

I would advise everyone to never ever fall for such a cheap trick and Admin should delete the post.

}(

[Laura PourMeADrink]

55. read the two posts on this - you don't have to pay anything - result

goes straight to your email. further analysis is what you have to pay for.

[AlienGirl]

54. Basically, yeah

If they gave an IQ test with mostly spatial-intelligence problems and logic problems, you'd kick my ass (and that of most people as well). That particular test is weighted toward verbal and math skills. What I score on it (sober) is 40 points lower than what I score on a test that measures only verbal ability, and about 100 points higher than what I score on one that measures only spatial ability. It correlates with my adult Stanford-Binet score, but not with my adult Otis-Lennon score, and nowhere near my childhood WPPSI score.

56. Damn, I'm basically retarded...

I only got 127.:P
