It's an iq test, doesn't take that long, here's my score.

Congratulations!

For the love of god no!
Your general IQ score is 36.

A person whose IQ score falls in the range of 20-48 is considered to be a "retard" and should avoid math and sharp objects at all costs.

------------------

The official one, if I remember right, rates 100 'average', 110-120 'gifted', and 120+ 'genius level'. Extremely few people are above 115. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, the real test is not just true or false.

I got a 153, and an 88 on the pattern recognition for this one.

Congratulations!
Your general IQ score is 141.

A person whose IQ score falls in the range of 129-143 is considered to be "highly intelligent".

I took a "standardized" one in like 11th grade for a psychological clinic and got like 136, but the test was much different. Consisted of about 50 multiple choice questions as opposed to the 20 or so T\F questions there. But who knows.

rht reg

Of course, those are standardizations. Been a while since I looked at the charts.

P.S. Of course it's not official, no I.Q. test is 100% accurate, all are created on differant criteria, but drink massive amounts of root beer and Dr. Pepper late at night and try having nothing to do, then see what kinda stuff you start doin

An IQ is a composite of your scores across 12 distinct types of intelligence. For example, in this test, your pattern recognition score is 75.

Of course my real IQ is 144, which is genius

Here's another one. At the bottom of the results, it gives a breakdown of results, which is pretty close to mine.

And you're only borderline genius...

Gifted is not genius. They are 2 distinct classifications. Gifted is usually considered 130-150.

People who are gifted often accomplish far more than people who are geniuses. There are many geniuses who are incapable or unwilling to live up to their potential, and end up flipping burgers or living on welfare.

That goes with everyone also???? I dont care if you are the smartest person in the world, It's what you do with it that matters, theres NO way for you to say gifted people do more then geniuses, do you know this for a fact? no you don't so dont assume your right.

------------------
Detriot what? reg

Just for comparisson sake, I scored a 150something on the last IQ test I took, and that was 3 years ago now. I don't think I have gotten dumber since then.

I have been "gifted" or whatever the hell you want to call it since I was tested in the 3rd grade. There is no way in hell I use what I have. I got straight B's in school and I never tried, I never wanted to try, and I still don't try today. I went through a phase daring myself to fail simply because I never had before.

Many of my friends who were in all those "advanced" classes with me, who were accepted to MIT or Caltech no longer go to school, and several of them flip burgers, or tacos, or sit at home and watch TV. Yet when you talk to them you know they are smart.

People tell me all the time that I am so luck to be smart. I just don't see how they can mean that.

Ever since I took those tests I wish I hadn't. It would be wonderful sometimes to just be "normal", and not have everyone and their dog asking you questions and always having to be the smart one.

Course that was and is my experience.

Though, i did take this one while someone was talking to me, grrrrrr....

I got confused on the hand thing (right thumb over left huh?), and I got beef with the branch question if i got it wrong, they said it could hold three people, they listed three people, nuff said.

Nah, we had to be right, there were no numbers in there. Was a trick question.

I base this off the many people I know who have tested as gifted. I am also gifted, with an IQ that tests between 143 to 152 depending on the test.

I was a teacher for the eighth grade Advanced Studies Program Language Arts and Social Studies classes, which is called Gifted or Highly Capable, depending on the current trend. Talk to any teacher. The people with the middling to upper IQs TYPICALLY are the ones who work the hardest in the class, because the highest IQs are USUALLY either too lazy, or could not care less about learning. There are many who are geniuses that accomplish amazing things. But I would say that the people who are gifted typically have a better grasp on reality and the way the world works than do true geniuses, and because of this, are able to do more with what they have than do geniuses. Most geniuses are so advanced in one area, they become regressed in others.

If you would like, I can also cite some historical case studies for you on geniuses who were not able to handle the real world, and ended up flipping burgers or working the check out counters, but it is Friday night, and I don't feel like searching through my boxes of textbooks.

It's a toughie.

Also, bear in mind that timed tests prove ONLY that you are/are not capable of problem solving skills under pressure. They measure your quickness, rather than your actual intelligence and reason. Anyone with basic math and English skills can get pretty much ALL of these questions right, if they were allowed to take their time. Would that make them geniuses? Nope.

I never did well on multiple-choice, and did even worse with timed tests. But give me an essay test, and I'll come in on top of the list. Proof:

I only got a 1200 *combined* on my SATs in High School. I took the National Achievement test, which was a combination of essay and multiple choice, a month later. I was in 85th percentile in the multiple choice section. I was in the top 1% of the entire school district and the top 10% of the entire *country* on the essay portion.

From an essay-taking standpoint, I am about as genius as it gets. From a multiple-choice and timed test standpoint, I'm nothing more than average.

So lets see, you can point out 50 geniuses that didint live up to the standards? how many damn people took the test and lived up? you can't base htings off history on this, cause of the advances we have made, things are diffrent now, I know a bunch of people that are gifted. and they didint live up to it does that mean the same thing you posted before, but vicee-versa? give me some HARD evidence, proving that people that are of a genius are more often to fail then gifted, oh wait, thats impossible to do

Someone else post their Mensa test scores too.. reg

darn word questions... reg

2. The next number in this series is 2

3968...63...8...3...

This question is just screwy, using decimals rounded up to get the answer...

And this question just threw me way off, but now that I understand it, I don't see how I couldn't understand it before.

11. If there are more inhabitants in Los Angeles than there are hairs on the
head of any inhabitant, and if no inhabitant is totally bald, it necessarily
follows that there must be at least two inhabitants with exactly the same
number of hairs.

Oh well. reg

add 1, take the square root, add 1 , take the square root, etc.

and to the next one, alot of questions like that try to use "common sense" to dissuade you from thinking about the question. Either that or you were thinking about the gazillion people in LA and you lost track of the question.

'lood reg

And yeah I was thinking well theres hundreds of thousands of people in LA most likely.. but then theres gotta be more hairs on someones head than that... How many hairs are on someones head? But at first I was thinking.. this situation could never be true. So then I started in on some round about way to go at it.. And I got myself so confused..

And like you I had trouble with those word questions.. I only got the easy one right, and now that I actually understand the questions better and see what they did, I think I could take a similar test and do much better. reg

That one line, above this one, proves the mark of a true genious. Someone who can "evolve" of his own lacking and improve on his own intelligence.

One who cannot, or will not improve, to me, is the true moron.

Basically, that quote, "It's what you do with it that matters" is exactly the point of what I have been saying all along. Genius matters little if you don't use it to the full extent.

1. You are requesting that I show statistical data to prove the point. I look at my own experience and take the empirical data and derive my conclusions. And yet, you are saying that history means nothing, and there is nothing to be learned from history because you feel the world has changed too much to make this data of use. So which is it?

2. You state you know gifted people who don't live up to their potential. Which goes back to the whole concept of, "It's what you do with it that matters." So this is actually reinforcing my position.

And how big of an experimental group is going to satisfy your demands? Oh wait, history means nothing, so no matter the evidence I provide, it will never be enough.

Detriot what? reg

Try reading what I'm writing, and not going by every other line, or whatever it is you are doing. You aren't even reading what YOU are writing, because for one, your grammar, spelling, punctuation wouldn't suck quite so bad that I have to interpret half of what you write, and two, you wouldn't agree with me in one sentence, albeit apparently unknowingly, and then try to slam me with the next.

and reread your post involving history. "you can't base htings[sic] off history on this." Are those not your words? I understood you to say that because the world has changed over time, any previous case studies are irrelevant, due to the new circumstances...Which is only your own interpretation of the situation, based of course on your vast knowledge of the topic.

But if you don't want me to interpret your writings, tell me what these "htings" are.

I got 19 on 30 for mensa. I left all the word problems blank. They were too hard. The first test i got a 135. Not bad. I think they are too easy though, cause I'm not THAT smart.
