I got 144, and I strongly contest one of the two answers I got wrong.
You have answered 5 questions correctly out 38. Your IQ is ~ 51

If I had taken this seriously i would kill myself because I have tested 2 other IQ test and both were above 140.
This isn't really negative, but almost all internet IQ tests are fake. They do not supply enough material. I think all IQ tests are inaccurate, because you could be really dumb at one thing but excell higher than anyone at another. I'll post what I got later.
IQ test seems to be kind of crappy at scoring IQ if you got 121...


My IQ is ~105 and I am very smart for my age (when my brain is turned on, of course.). Most people my age get about a 90 (or at least my friends did.).


Also, as from what I heard, 130 is genious.

I don't know if there is any truth to this because the kid that told me this is the definition of pathological liar. Anyway, he said that IQ is something that doesn't really change. Its a measure of your reasoning/thinking ability, and with the proper tests your IQ should remain the same throughout your whole life. Well, provided that you don't suffer brain damage or something of that sort.

Whether or not that's true, I still have little faith in online IQ tests. From what I know, 100 is supposed to be average, and often it seems like the scores are well over that. I find it hard to believe that a website can tell me how smart I am. Even so, I don't need a website to tell me that I am smart.
Well, from what I've heard, if you're under 16-18, IQ tests don't work. Since im 12 (soon to be 13) I'm sure theres gunna be something wrong. Also, like others have said, people may excel in one area, but not in another. I am in the 99th percentile of kids my age in the country (USA) in Math. Im not sure what that means =P. Its something like for every 100 kids my age 1 of them is as good as me at math or something. I really have no Idea. (No, im not trying to brag, and yes, this is true). Out of the 7 IQ tests I have taken, my IQ is something like 116-124. It varies.

Yep, 105 is average.

And yeah, as long as you have the right IQ test, it should stay the same. Problem is, when people under 18 take an IQ test, almost always it is an 18+ IQ test.
I scored a 132, which I believe is far more accurate than the other IQ tests I have taken. Normally those rely on speed, so the questions are less complicated. I generally score in the range of 140+ on those.
In response to Airjoe
99th percentile means your better than 99 kids your age, your example was correct as well.
"You have answered 33 questions correctly out 38. Your IQ is ~ 135."

I believe that's about right... I've taken a handful of IQ tests in the past (not all online), and they all generally point to somewhere in the mid 130's... (except for one that said "160", but that was one of those ones that says "Click here to buy the full analysis of your score!" after you're done, so I'm guessing they curve the scores high to butter people up before trying to rip them off...lol)

Although, one of my incorrect answers was a simple mistake that I wouldn't have made if I had been paying a bit closer attention...lol

And one of the "Which does not belong" types hinged on knowing a certain specific fact to pick the right one, rather than relying on simple rationalization skills as IQ tests should... (The one with the writers... In order to get it right, you have to know a certain fact about each one that not everyone would/should know... Thus, it is measuring memorized trivia over application of knowledge...)
IQ tests are inaccurate, especially online ones. Above 125 is gifted. I got You have answered 30 questions correctly out 38. Your IQ is ~ 126. I know for a fact that I am significantly gifted, not just barely gifted, so I think it is inaccurate. Note that I am turning 14, and IQ tests have to be calibrated to within 3 months of the testee. You're not telling me they do that?
I don't understand this question: "What is the result of multiplying all figures from 0 to 25?" Whatever the heck that meant, I got it right. :P

"You have answered 33 questions correctly out 38. Your IQ is ~ 135."

One of the questions I just plain got wrong, two more were because I misread the question (answered tallest when it was asking for shortest, for example), one was wrong because I had no idea who any of the names it listed were, and the last one I got wrong because, even looking at the answer, I don't think the question made any sense.


(** Spoilers :P **)

Okay, explain this to me.

Question: Please mark the word not matching (content) the other words (odd one out): Whale, Shark, Herring, Carp, Pike

I might be messed up, but I see four creatures that live in water, and one that flies. But whats the answer? Whale, because its a mammal. Herring is a bird right? How is the bird any less different from the shark, carp and pike than the mammal is?

(Note, apparently "herring" is a fish as well as my common term for "blue herring", which is annoying enough to cause confusion :P)


Silly me. It says I'm brilliant and I'm still annoyed with it.

Actually, my coach (also my psychology teacher) said I.Q. Tests are based on nothing more than you SHOULD know for your age group. He said, the norm someone can get is 100, anything higher isn't true. For ex, Stephen Hawking has a recorded 260+ I.Q. How can someone know 160% more than there is to know!?
In response to OneFishDown
Frankly, I don't think anyone who really tried and scored under 100 would admit to it.

I think that pretty much sums it up :)

I personally believe that intelligence isn't so linear that it can be measured with a number, or by a test. Some people may be able to take a test in 5 minutes but can only get 90% of the questions right, while others can't do it in 5 minutes, but given an hour they'll get 100% of the questions right. Just one example. How do you measure imagination and creativity? Is knowledge considered intelligence? If you happen to know more about the subjects on the test than in other areas, does that make you smarter? If you know less about those subjects, does it make you less intelligent? What about common sense? Too many different aspects summed up in "intelligence" to be measured by a number.
In response to Foomer
Intelligence is immeasurable. Heh, the moral of the day.
