I.Q Test
« on: March 13, 2009, 12:36:48 PM »
I was watching a T.V show and it talked about I.Q, so I decided to look up online who has the highest I.Q score, so I found this website that was about I.Q's, it was started by a guy who basically had the same question I did but couldn't find the info all in one spot, so he created this website, The highest was Physicist / Engineer Kim Ung-yong who scored 210, one of the more unusual things was the number 2 guy, Bouncer Christopher Michael Langan with a score of 195, the guy has an I.Q of 195 and he's been working as a bouncer in a bar the last 20 years.

Towards the bottom of the page it has a good I.Q test to take, one of the better ones I've seen, it's based on spatial acuity, there's 40 questions & you get 40 min, they start off easy, but they do get harder, much harder, if you don't know an answer don't guess as it will penalize you for guessing, just move on to the next question.  it will give you your score at the end, at the top of the website it has a I.Q traditional ranking, so you can see where you fall after getting your score.  I got a score of 112, the ranking says that 90 - 109 is average, so I'm just above that.  I was able to get about 30 of the 40 solved, left about 10 blank.  So try it out and post your score, remember it takes 40min though.

Don't click the link at the top that says "Click here for your free IQ test", goto the one towards the bottom that says "Test YOUR IQ" and has a blue screen.

Yeah those last 10 were really difficult, there was only 2, maybe 3 of them I think I was able to answer.

See the thing with that test though is it will actually penalize you for guessing, it's better to not answer it if you don't know it.

I really struggled with 36, 37, 39.  Of those I only left 36 +39 blank I think...friggin rubix cubes. Got a 121 though, not too shabby I guess.  I overheard my mom talking about my IQ test scores from when I was young, and I've most certainly killed off some brain cells since then if those are to be trusted  :lol

cool test

can tell im getting dumber in my old age, i only scored a 121.

cant believe it took almost 6 min to figure out the last one, felt like a tard sitting here looking at all the pretty colored boxes. think i got lost in the colors cause it wasnt that hard to figure it out once i just looked at it, that was the only one i took more than a half a minute on, but from my score i should have taken a little more time on some of them.

146. I did another one of these about 3 years ago and got 145. Guess the Alzheimer's hasn't kicked yet.

Just to make sure, I'll state this again, don't click on the IQ test that you see right when you get to the web page, make sure your going to the test at the bottom of the page where you click on the test in the blue screen, thats the test that evaluates visual spatial reasoning skills, and not verbal IQ test, that test at the top is just a b/s test and I think thats the one some of you are going to because the last 2 there scored 146 & 135 and to get those scores with the test at the bottom is kinda unlikely as less then 1% of the population scores over 134, I mean if you were using the test at the bottom then wtg.

Yeah the blue screen, it's the one that shows you the 3 rows of things, and you have to interpret what comes next.


Here's a direct link to the IQ test you should be using.

I was wondering how some people were scoring that high, that spatial acuity 40 question 40min test is hard, some must not have read which test I said to take in my OP & have been taking on the wrong test.

It says "Above end 140" with standard deviation = 16

Is this the test you meant?



For the record, once you've done one of this kind of tests, you know what to look for.

that's the one I did originally.... Just re-did it got 128, slight drop I don't get why.... I remembered a good 75% of the answers I gave, and figured out one I missed last time including #39 and I did the whole thing in like 7 minutes.
