What's Your IQ Score?

[BB73]

OK, no wonder my score was so bad. My reading comprehension is SHIT. I needed to have taken more time to better read the questions; since, there was no time limit.

I believe it said that time was factored into the scoring, though. I'm pretty sure I read that.

I was going to comment on how surprised I was at how many intellectuals there seem to be here, but then I realized I wasn't taking into account the fact that most of the stupid people (a) don't know how to use "the online," and (b) aren't going to jump right up and take an IQ test for "fun."

Re: The IQ Test consists of 32 true/false questions and takes an average of 12 minutes to complete. The test is designed with speed in mind, so work as fast as you can.

You are right, besides reading the questions too fast :2004: , I usually just skip the instructions.:2004:

Lake BP where all the posters are above average ...

I couldn't have said it better, myself. :tongue2:

Are there 5 vowels or 6? I was always taught 5, but dictionary.com says y is sometimes considered a vowel.

this test is bogus, man

got a 147

I got a 141. I refuse to believe there are this many Hi-Q people on this board!

You aren't alone, my friend.

A lot of fucking nerds on this board.

Haha. I agree. I was feeling pretty good about myself, when I saw I got a 138, but apparently being in the higher percentile is being in the lower percentile, here in Buckeye Nation. Oh well, not only do we have the best athletic department, but we also have the SMARTEST fans! :tongue2:

Not intending to rain on anyone's parade, but stx raises a valid point.

Well, indeed, it likely is not true.

However on looking over that test some of the questions seem deliberately daft.

Take this one for example ..

<table bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="620"> <tbody><tr valign="top"><td>3</td> <td class="ques"> If a tree branch can hold three people and John weighs twice as much as Adam, and Rachel weighs half as much as Adam, then Rachel, John and Adam can all sit together on the tree branch safely.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="option"><input name="Q3" value="T" align="center" type="radio"> True <input name="Q3" value="F" align="center" type="radio"> False
</td></tr></tbody> </table>

Umm, excuse me - but if the tree branch can hold three people it can hold three people - period. Whether the branch can hold them safely demands much more pertinent information.

All the verbiage about the mass of the individuals is quite honestly deceptive and useless. This is a poor question by which to determine anything about a person's intelligence.

The site, as such, is set up to acquire e-mail addresses from respondents who complete the test then ask for their "results" to be mailed to them. Then they will pump you for money for detailed analysis. I'm sure the test is fun, it does not provide a valid Psychometric test. For such as those, I suggest Mensa. Given the lax control in the test questions, I'd suspect that the analysis you would later pay to receive is nothing less than ego-inflating pablum.

It seems as though I am below average here at BP:

RESULTS:
Your IQ score is 149. A person whose IQ score falls in the range of 144-160 is considered to be "gifted".

Your IQ score is based on your scores across 12 distinct aspects of intelligence. Like everyone, you have a unique intellectual makeup, with strengths and weaknesses that affect your methods of understanding, communication and relating to others. According to your results, your greatest intellectual strength is Logic.

The answer to that was false anyways. They asked if they were in reverse order, which they werent. If you read the sentence backwards, the first vowel was 'a'.

123.. I never claimed to be a genius, just above average!

 

[ArtilleryBuck]

It's all about the speed. I had walked away from the computer midway through the first time I took it. This time...
