Internet IQ tests are unreliable.

Just did a test and got 120. Probably nowhere near.

Mine is probably about a million.

The scale doesn't even go up to that level (not necessarily)!

Here's an indication of what your IQ score actually means:



Over 140 - Genius or near genius


120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence


110 - 119 - Superior intelligence/High Average


90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence


80 - 89 - Dullness


70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency


Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness

High IQ & Genius IQ

Genius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145, representing ~.25% of the population (1 in 400). Here's a rough guide:

115-124 - Above average (e.g., university students)
125-134 - Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)
135-144 - Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)
145-154 - Genius (e.g., professors)
155-164 - Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)
165-179 - High genius
180-200 - Highest genius
<200 - "Unmeasurable genius"

A few IQ tests will vary on what they consider to be "average"/"above average"/"genius", etc, but what I have provided is a rough guideline of what your scores mean.

NB: if you really want your IQ taken, go to a specialised psychologist. The fact that you attained, say, 130 on a test, is not to suggest that you're actually a genius; it simply means that online IQ tests don't mean half a ****, and the results likely to be ****ed up (not saying that anyone here is dumb ). Go to a specialised educational psychologist or something of that sort if you really want your IQ measured accurately. And that's if you're really bold, too.

[Urban Cragou]

Of course, "high average" and "low average" can be marked at 100-110 or 90-100; this is entirely in accordance to the slight variations that people may make to possibly enhance the accuracy of IQ scores/tests.

Using BODMAS, work out the following:

1. 3 + (7-2) =

2. 17 - (14 X 3) =

3. 11 + 2 X 7) =

4. 100 - (11 x 8) X 4 =

5. 27 X 3 - 6

Solve the following equations:

1. 4x - 7 = 27

2. 3x - 27 = 45

That's secondary school maths that most people can't remember how to do.

5. 27 X 3 - 6 = 75

Solve the following equations:

1. 4x - 7 = 27 = -- ? (Don't know what that [/I] means. Oh Ffs, I was trying to work out 'I' as in italics.

2. 3x - 27 = 45 -- x=6 (Messed this one up too, read '-' as '+')

That's secondary school maths that most people can't remember how to do.

Have you got answers?

[GypsyGoth]

1. 3 + (7-2) = 8

2. 17 - (14 X 3) = -25

3. 11 + 2 X 7) = 25

4. 100 - (11 x 8) X 4 = -252

5. 27 X 3 - 6 = 45

Solve the following equations:

1. 4x - 7 = 27 x = 8.5

2. 3x - 27 = 45 x = 24

[Urban Cragou]

1. 3 + (7-2) = 3 + 5 = 8

2. 17 - (14 X 3) = 17 - 42 = - 25

3. 11 + (2 X 7) = 11 + 14 = 25

4. 100 - (11 x 8) X 4 = 100 - 88 = 12; 12 X 4 = 48

5. 27 X 3 - 6 = 54 - 6 = 75

Solve the following equations:

1. 4x - 7 = 27

Add seven to both sides, and 4x = 34.

Divide by four to get x on its own, and x = 8.5 (you can do this using an algorithm).
2. 3x - 27 = 45

Add 27 to both sides and 3x = 72.

Divide by 3 to get x on its own, and x = 24 (feel free to check this by multiplying 24 by 3 ).

not going to humiliate myself telling y'all

Yes, 'cause most of them confided in online scores.

I rather doubt it myself .....

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i have never completed a test fully coz i get bored half way through

[Beastie]

Mine is off the radar

IQ isn't even about maths like that. IQ is intelligence potential basically not how good you are at certain subjects. Thats why online IQ tests are completely BS.

You can have a genius IQ but not apply yourself and be extremely unintelligent.

Yeah, I was about to say this. The IQ tests I've done have been more geared towards logical thinking than academia.

Well, it depends. In actual context, IQ tests don't tend to cover the pure subjects, e.g. Maths, but rather cover techniques, e.g. visualisation, memory, problem-solving, etc, so it's fair to say they only cover the more visual form of intelligence. But, on the other hand, schools have conducted standardised tests, which relatively have the same range (except they don't go beyond 140), in English, Mathematics and NVR (non-verbal reasoning) since 1985, so, if you're in your 30s and under, your school probably would have covered those tests, anyway, so I think it's safe to say that we now have sufficient enough evidence to say that the IQ of a person can be, more or less, measured to a basic degree of accuracy, at least.
