You are very wise, and I agree.

My IQ: Schwifty-five.

Took a test 5 years ago that told me I was "gifted".
Im doing a study that I like now, so it's fine I guess.

This.

No clue. I would imagine right around 13.

Wisdom is better than intelligence and there seems to be no scientific way to estimate that, because it would elude such anolysis it seems. I could be mistaken and that's why I used the word "seems". So be intelligent and seek wisdom.

[edit] You can even call it "street smarts" for effect.

I haven't taken an IQ test but I took a Wonderlic test (if anyone knows what that is) and got 29.

I don't hold too much weight with these things because I feel it is more about knowing how to take a standardized test rather than actual proof of intelligence.

Where's a good place online to take one?

And I just know some people are padding those scores. Not mad at ya, just human nature .

Too young to take one but If someone has a good IQ test online, I'd gladly take it :0

I was all prepared to write a few paragraphs about IQ tests, but Exorince beat me too it.

Essentailly, what Exorince said was spot on - at least according to what I have learned about fluid intelligence and static intelligence. So instead of a big long post, I'll just respond to people individually.

Yes. Of course, I have a degree in psychology, so I kinda have to know these things.

Knowledge is not intelligence. You seem to be correlating the two of them, which is a mistake. I have lots of knowledge about the field of psychology - that doesn't make me intelligent, just knowledgeable. Likewise, I can have knowledge about how to fix a leaking pipe, but the action of fixing that leaking pipe is more of a skill than knowledge. Obviously someone who is intelligent is likely also knowledgeable about certain fields, but having knowledge does not equal intelligence. We can look at savants as an example - they generally have a low level of intelligence, but are brilliantly gifted in one particular skill (mathematics, playing an instrument, etc).

There isn't really an online site (that I know of) that adheres to proper IQ testing parameters. It is a better idea to simply find someone to administer the IQ test to you in the real world.

IQ tests can be modified to work with any age group - originally IQ tests were simply designed to tell if a child needed special education (was below average intelligence).

Also, my IQ is above 100 and below 200.

Lol, surprisingly, the only person I know that fits this description, would be my 73 year old mother, and she reads tons of magazines. I went to a private school when I was a kid and they instilled a firm love of reading in all students before you were out of the first grade, and it's stuck with me ever since. I can say this though, thank god for Book Sales, or I'd never have enough books to read. There are two major ones I visit every year, each have paperbacks for 50 cents and hardbacks for between $1.00 and $5.00

Sorry for the back to back posting, but I just saw this post, and wanted to add that Stephen Baxter is rrreeeaaaaaaaalllllllyyy good for that as well. The technical jargon in his books often has me going to wikipedia, or a dictionary so I can figure out what the hell he's talking about, lol.

Never taken an official one. :sadvaultboy:

I have no idea what my IQ is, but I'm sure the U.S. Army has the number secured within the confines of bureaucratic purgatory.

When all else fails I know I can make fire with sticks. That is my solace.

I've never taken an IQ test and don't plan to. Don't see the need and I'm not that curious. I know I'm bright enough not to embarrass myself.

:rofl: Oh man, would I ever flunk that BIG TIME. 40 years old, and 15 of which were spent abusing my brain to the point of forgetting why I'm standing in front of the fridge with the door open :confused:

Never have taken an IQ test...real or otherwise, not really interested in finding out. Used to be once upon a time that I still had some smarts to me. I think I'm getting dumber as I get older though.

Even the people saying "IQ is useless, bro" are trying to convince everyone they're smart by the way they're writing. This thread is just [censored].

Didn't everyone realize that IQ tests are complete garbage for measuring intelligence?

Having said that, I don't know what my IQ is but I'm damn sure I'd beat every one of you at Trivial Pursuit.

I'm far too sophisticated to respond to that old chap,

I already do that! Yet another reason why my mental state is not suited for any hallucinogens or mood altering substances.

I've never taken an IQ test. What good is it going to do me?

Pretty much this since online tests are crap and people can have material by their side to assist them. While under the watchful gaze of a psychologist or Test Proctor you aren't going to be able to do that.

Let's see how this is received by the forum. http://cbstrials.com/Open/Default.aspx?B_ID=279

I truly doubt anyone here scored higher than a 150, or even around that, on a legit I.Q. test. That would mean your a genius and could be a professor at a University. Maybe a few did, but I doubt as many as this thread has.

My dad was a professer, I'm just a lowly uni lecturer

160+. The version of the official test I got only went up to 160+ and I answered every question correctly.

It's not working. I'm receiving a database error after registering.

Why not? You have no idea what the IQs of people on this forum are. All I will say is that when I took an IQ test, years ago, I scored above 100.

Likewise, you do not need to be "a genius" to be a professor at any University. You need to have a degree and possibly a doctorate, but you do not need to have a 150+ score on an IQ test. How do I know? Because once one of my psychology professors at the University of Michigan told us her IQ score. It wasn't 150 or above and yet, somehow, she was a professor at a university that has one of the best psychology departments in the United States, if not one of the best in the world.

Do you have any studies to back up that claim that shows that IQ tests are complete garbage? What IQ test, exactly? Stanford-Binet? Wechsler advlt Intelligence Scale? Which one? You can't just say that "all intelligence tests are garbage" and then not back that claim with any actual research.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter.
