Well, if you want to put things on the same scale (even tough I don't know how accurate the test is, and it's merely orientative), here is a link to a test a mensa guy from denmark has made (or at least, it says that). The test consists of 39 items you have to reply in up to 40 minutes (everything is expained on the page).

36th and 39th question was hard, imo.. so I guessed for the most part. On 36th I concluded it had to be either D or G - three black, one dark grey and two light grey, and horizontal black. Last one gave me a headache. Had lots of time left in the end though, so I could probably have grabbed pen and paper, and tried to solve it methodically. However, I'm guessing I've got more than those two wrong.

Thank's for the tip, I will keep it in mind for the next time.

And I see someone has already taken the test, good.

Well, it wasn't a wholehearted attempt, but it was a decent test I guess.. just as one would expect from one, except the first few questions are terribly easy. It's almost tempting to attempt to answer everything wrong and see how that turns out.

Genius here.

And that's an interfact.

You may have the IQ of a genius (which I highly doubt) but you are not a genius.

Just because you have an IQ over 140 does not make you a genius, your intelligence never changes (unless you drink your way through life or something) but you could be the least intelligent person in the world and know everything, your IQ or intelligence does not determine how knowledgeable you are.

Flamesoul, ' is not used for plural and it's not gramatically correct to have "and" at the begenning of your sentance.

First of, knowledge and intelligence are different things, and what defines a genius is the intelligence, not the knowledge.

Second, if you're going to correct someone on their English, you better be flawless yourself. I've merely marked your misspelled words.

Grammatically. Beginning. Sentence.

Oh snap, I can't beat that Shiik so I'll leave it at a tie.

(18 minutes left at the end of the test )

Which one was 39? The chessboard-like thingy?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Damn, nice IQ you got there, Billy.

Sorry, I didn't notice when I wrote thank's instead of thanks.
Didn't know/remember that gramatical rule about using and at the beginning of a sentence, seems I just made a translation from spoken spanish to english without being careful enough.

Thanks for pointing out, it'll help improve my english.

Note: I think I'm quite out of subject.
Note 2: I sometimes use google's translator (it's not totally acurate, but it helps me a bit)

Intelligence is the measured ability to retain knowledge, to acquire new information, and analytical thinking. That, at least, would be the definition I would give it.

Now, Intelligence quotient (IQ) is determined by standardized tests designed to measure intelligence. It's generally accepted by the Psychological community that the main standardized tests accurately measure intelligence, and adjust according to society's averages. The tests take in account a variety of variables such as age.

Wechsler IQ tests are usually the ones thought of as an "IQ" test. The average score is 100, and when the average is no longer 100, they adapt the test so that it is. The test linked earlier in the thread is presumably a Wechsler IQ test, as 100 is considered the average, it consists of a bell curve, and has a standard deviation of 15.

Anyways, your argument is irrelevant because like I said previously, it measures the ability to retain knowledge, analytic thinking, and to acquire new information. In a sense a persons willingness to use their intelligence may have some effect on application in real life, but that doesn't discredit their intelligence. Also, I would recommend that if you correct someone's grammar or spelling you take advantage of spell check. And to note, I don't particularly care that I just committed an Ad Hominem Tu fallacy.

Well 107 isn't bad.

 

[Joe-black-5]

I had 115 ._. What the hell are the last questions supposed to be about ...

edit: last 10 questions took me the 30 minutes remaining to solve 7-8 of them with a reasonable solution
I finished with 5 seconds left

 

[TwistedImage]

I got 110 but I had some 15 minutes left so I guess I should take it again and focus more

 

[Billy the Cat]

I ended up with 18 minutes left, but i don't know if it's fair to try it again :\

 

[Pyritie]

I got 122

For anyone else that wants to try, we're using this test: http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf

 

[Bantas]

Did a (real) test a few years ago, I'm supposed to have 133 IQ, I think. Apparently it was determined in two parts, an oral one (which I had aproximately 115 on) and a mental one (over 150). I still don't know what it means. Maybe that I'm good at learning things and memorizing them, but not at using them in real situations ? Also, there was a soccer ball puzzle that has scarred me for life. I remember spending about a minute on it and then giving up because I couldn't even figure where was up and down, very troubling. Stupid circles !

Also, you should do Carrigage test too. I looked at it to figure out what I was gonna do, and then it got a lot more complicated than I had imagined.

What I thought. I, I, I can't do it !

Can I cross lines ? Can I draw curves ? Does the curve have to feel geometrical ? Can I do every point in any order I want ?

EDIT : Here's my answer to the thing. I don't care that I'm supposed to use PM, I don't even want my portrait to be drawn.
RE-EDIT : Oops, did it wrong.

 

[Billy the Cat]

I have seen the answer to Carrigage's test, because I've seen it before he mentioned it.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Bantas, that's five lines.

 

[Joe-black-5]

what in hell is that test?

 

[Bantas]

Bantas, that's five lines.

Indeed, I just noticed that I only had four. >.>

 

[Billy the Cat]

Silly catface

 

[Mulgrim]

damn you all smart people D:

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Here you go.. why make it so god-damn complicated.

 

[AbstractCreativity]

Best IQ test question ever:

"If you have one bucket with 2 gallons of water, and another bucket with 3 gallons of water... How many buckets do you have?"

(From Idiocracy, some 40% funny, 60% really, really stupid comedy movie.)
But that question is win

Anyways, to take a bet, I'd say I've got an average/high IQ. So I voted 90-109 Average.
Edit: Typo fix

 

[Duragon]

I got a 126 with just guessing at the last 6 answers and having 12m left to the test. I probably would've cared about the last 6 had the score actually been a real test or something. Was fun.

 

[Billy the Cat]

This test loves giving people 126 I see xD

 

[reason 3]

My IQ is 105...how can i take a photo of the results?

 

[Billy the Cat]

Print Screen and Paste on a program like Photoshop.

A bit more specific please?

Print Screen actually does nothing

 

[Billy the Cat]

Look at the score,
Press Print Screen,
Open Photoshop,
Create New (for me it sets height and width to the Print screen size automatically),
Press Ctrl+V
Save as .png or .jpg
Post here and add the image as an attachment.

That's what I know.

That's what i did but it didn't work ^^ Nevermind...

 

[BlargHonk]

This is why you have 105

 

[Deleted member 157129]

That's what i did but it didn't work ^^ Nevermind...

Even easier. Press Print Screen, open MS Paint (don't copy anything after you pressed print screen), and press CTRL+V (or Edit>Paste..), crop around the interesting part. Save as .png. Upload attachment.


Meh..

You know.. it says the test becomes gradually more difficult, for me it was rather the first 30 questions (or so) were damn easy.. it's like, you see the pattern immediately and go by intuition - each of them take 3 seconds. Then suddenly everything is different, doesn't really make the same immediate impression. Like the light grey, black and dark grey squares. The only thing my intuition told me was that it's one of those with one dark grey (or light grey, can't remember), two light grey and three black, and the black line has to be horizontal.. I actually can't figure out whether that's completely wrong, or which of the two possibilities it should be. Then the last one just threw me off. I started thinking like.. that X is moving left, fits so far.. no there's an exception.. I couldn't find one definite pattern, but it's probably about methodicalness, you have to take it bit by bit (unlike most of the others).

 

[FlameSoul]

I think 39 is the one that defines if you are a genius, XD.
It took me about 10 minutes to get to number 20 I think, then another 20 minutes to get to number 37, from the last 3 ones, the only one that seemed to have any sense for me, if I don't remember bad, was number 38, so I spent my last 10 minutes thinking two damn items which I had to guess cause I couldn't figure it out.

 

[HINDYhat]

Got 130 on the iqtest.dk thing. I basically zoomed through the first 30 or so, and then came to a stop near the end.

 

[Pyritie]

yeah those last ones are really wtf >___>

 

[ike_ike]

Got 100 by answering half the questions.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

The last ones were weird. Used about 5-8 min on the 30 first questions and then I went "wtf?". Can't remember what I got and how much time I had left. It was something around 120. I did get 141 on another test though, but shiiK got 142 on it (damn you shiiK)

Which one was the other test?

 

[Joe-black-5]

those last ones are over 9000!

 

[reason 3]

This is why you have 105

What is this supposed to mean?

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Which one was the other test?

Can't remember. It was almost one year ago

 

[Azeroc]

Again, IQ is a lie. At one point person might be very dumb, but at other point he might be godlike. I kinda hate that people believe in IQ -.-

 

[Kwah]

Another quick note. Mensa is most certainly not the be all end all of intelligence.

 

[TwistedImage]

Checked that IQ test. I fail to believe that your intelligence can be determined purely by your ability to see logical patterns like that - with a computer observing.

Azeroc, if you're an idiot you suck at most things while if you're a genius then you're good at most things, clearly there's a difference. I'd guess that you could determine a person's intelligence going by average skill. <.<

 

[sadvisor]

I can't care less

 

[FlameSoul]

Checked that IQ test. I fail to believe that your intelligence can be determined purely by your ability to see logical patterns like that - with a computer observing.

Here are some definitions:
-IQ
-Inteligence
-Inteligence & IQ
-Something about globally gifted
-Something about emotional inteligence
Also, I don't think your inteligence is determined purely by the IQ (which by the way, I'm not sure nowadays IQ tests try to determine all of your inteligences), but I think it has up to some point some relationship with your general inteligence. For example, if you didn't think logically (at least up to some extent), you would not be able to speak or write (but maybe you also wouldn't be able to make the test or would be barking like a dog), so IQ and inteligence have at least a relationship (but maybe it does not define the whole of your inteligence).

if you're a genius then you're good at most things, clearly there's a difference. I'd guess that you could determine a person's intelligence going by average skill. <.<

I don't agree with that. I don't think Albert Einstein was a really good composer and he was a real genius when it came to logic thinking, he could see patterns, find relationships no one could, and as a result, he set bases for quantum physics (and the atomic bomb, even though he didn't intend that). On the other hand, I don't think Ludwig van Beethoven was really awesome at logical thinking, but he was a real genius when it came to writing music (and he was deaf). So, while you may set a scale for people's inteligence based on all of their skills (I think today they talk about multiple inteligence), a genius not necesarily is good at most things (maybe DaVinci would be one of this), but a genius is someone who is REALLY outstanding in at least one field.

I can't care less

Then don't bother to post (just a suggestion).

 

[Vulcano]

i had 136 on a iq test i found on an old CD. But it said the result was 20% accurate. An online iq test 1.5 years ago said 110-120 and 0.5 year ago 120-130.

I wonder whats element of water's iq is, he's very great at OOP vJassing and he's only 12 years old.

 

[TwistedImage]

Flamesoul, let me explain again - though I suck at explaining. If a person was the best in the whole wide world at math yet could not speak any language properly, I would not think said person to be a genius - sure, he's extremely good at math while having a lot of other obvious shortcomings limiting his ability to do other things than math.

Compare this person to a person who is decent in everything: he speaks the languages he has learned properly, can do math to a certain extent, and can do everything he needs in daily life just fine and thus gets by well in life. I'd say the second person is smarter than the first: if you can learn anything and not only your interest you are smarter than a person who cannot.

I hope you got it this time, I really do suck at explaining.
