Right, well there is more thank likely already a topic on this, but I've looked through the past 5 pages and haven't found one, and can't be bothered to do the same for the other 107 pages :tongue: So we can presume it's dead.
ANYWAY, I thought I'd just ask if anybody knows what their IQ is?
I say this now because I just did an IQ Test and got 144 :shocked: Very happy with that :bigsmile:

I did several and got an average, which was 131. Internet ones are very unreliable, which is why you should do a few and find the average score as they tend to vary.

None of the ones I've read so far are bad!
Doing them on Internet sites is a bit unreliable though. Not only because of the test itself, but also because chances are that when you're doing them you're not 100% focused or engaged intellectually, so it isn't always a true reflection. I've no idea what my IQ is... but people generally seem to care about it less these days. I'm not sure how to get it tested accurately, unless you're extremely brainy and join some group/society.

Right now, i have no idea, i did one ages ago and got something in the 90's (The test was about shapes).

Don't do internet ones.
It's a proven fact that they give you about 30 more IQ points than you should have, at least! They do this because after they've given you your score they offer you a pay-subscription for further analysis. By giving you a high IQ score they make you feel good about your score and want you to want to pay for further analysis.
This isn't aimed at anyone on this forum imparticular, but I highly doubt that peoples actual IQ is what the internet says it is - bearing in mind those with an IQ of 140 are in MENSA and in the top 2% of the Worlds population.
Also, you can go to MENSA HQ and get your IQ tested reliably but you need to prove you have general high IQ beforehand.

Way to rain on my parade, Lauren :wink: :sad:
Haha only joking, I know it's waaaaay too high. But I've done quite a few in the past and I'd say my average was about 120.

I really wouldn't like to say mine...
As ive only ever taken online IQ tests, or completed the "Test The Nation" questions on television and found out that way.
On each and every one my IQ has varied so...
Id prefer to do an official IQ test in proper conditions and find out that way.
Anyone who hasn't done that could either be bragging about their high IQ which is wrong, or feeling bad about their low IQ which is also incorrect.

I have no need or desire to know my IQ. I think it would depress me, in fact I like living in the dark about my real level of intelligence. Can you imagine all the years of study I would feel I had wasted if it came in low, "oh the shame" :tongue:

I did a Mensa test ages ago and I made the top 1% of the country. I can't remember the score but it ws very high. It's not the sort of thing you put on your CV mind if you actually want to get a job. People don't like employing people with high IQ's just in case they are clever than they are.
Shaun
28-10-2007, 09:24 PM
Oooh, bow down to the Red, guys. Top 1%, that's pretty good.
Out of interest - how many MENSA members are there, roughly?

Around 40,000.
But you have to remember a lot of people join for a few years and then leave when they workout they don't get much out of it other than a nice card and a magazine.

Hahahha no need to burst your bubble Noel (If you got high it means something despite it being from an internet IQ thing) - but thats probably not a real reflection of IQ - - but as I said, in general it must be high.
Hmmm Im not so sure..
Theres no way I have a high IQ. lol.

Your IQ definately isn't 167; that is INSANELY high. There are very few people who have an IQ anywhere near that, and I'd imagine that most of them would have the knowledge that the average IQ is not 200 ;)

I got 123 at my IQ test a few years ago. I bet that with the alcohol, cigarets and sex, it's rather low now haha :joker:
Anyway, I'm glad I'm intelligent lol :bigsmile:

That was a joke....well I hope that sex doesn't lower your IQ lol :hugesmile:

I think sex can increase IQ actually (not significantly, as we see from Jodie Marsh). The arousal stimulates the brain at high levels and increases the number of serotonin chemicals.

I heard that! I think it was increases your intelligence or something though, but it goes both ways. Thinking about it, it probably does make you more alert afterwards... therefore your brain is engaged, so you can be more alert and focused intellectually when it comes to work...

Lol, comedy...
Ive heard the same however, though I obviously have no proof as I haven't scientifically proven it myself or measured my IQ after long durations of sex, but im guessing it's most likely the case.

I don't think alcohol or cigs do either.

As for mine, I'm around 85-95, I was told that was my average.

Intelligent people don't take IQ tests......:bigsmile:
Seriously I used to work with a man from Mensa :laugh: He was the first to admit that those with high IQ's are some of the most stupid people around.......
High IQ . Low IQ a huge pinch of salt is all that is needed.....

But how do you know if you are intelligent if you don't take any test haha :tongue:
You're right about the fact that the most intelligent people are stupid. Einstein had the highest IQ so far and he was a little bit autistic.
