Just did the half-hour test (took about 10 minutes Very Happy

)
I can't really figure out how the scores work, it gave me about 3 numbers in the end.
Anyone care to try it out so I'll at least know how smart I am compared to the women on this site?

These kinds of tests don't measure how "smart" you are but how conditioned you are to taking these kinds of tests. So your answer would really be how good you are, compared to other imamothers, at test-taking. Intelligence has many facets that these tests don't measure and probably will never be able to.

105, I did the 15 minute one in two minutes. So if the answer didn't come in a second I just guessed. I think this test is dumb because it is only testing on math skills, there is a lot more to smartness than math.

I don't know how smart I am* but I can tell you my computer is not smart at all. I click and click on an answer and nothing happens. Officially, then, my IQ is at the bottom of the heap, at least for this go-around.

*It probably depends on the phase of the moon, how much sleep I got last night and numerous other factors including how much I like or dislike the entity with which I am interacting.

I agree with you that IQ tests get very predictable once you've taken a bunch of them. Compared to other IQ tests, this one was extremely basic.

I tend to score about 125-130 on IQ tests. This one had me at 135 but it's inaccurate because I already knew some of the questions.

I never do IQ tests
They're fake
I just did the 15 min one on my phone while doing other stuff
And...the test claims my IQ is 135 or greater
Yeah right LOL

Good one.

By the way, what does 135 OR HIGHER even mean?

That's so vague.

Yeah, your IQ is... 135... Or maybe not. Maybe it's higher. Who knows. Hey, while we're at it, maybe it's lower. Same difference, right?

So, yeah, thats not very informative at all.

Secondly, I STINK at unscrambling words. I'm the worst unscrambler of all time. Why should that have any bearing on an IQ score? I responded to the unscrambling question by writing NoClue in the box.

Also, the question on the phrase "The pen is mightier than the sword" is dependent on the test-taker having received a good education, not on intelligence. I knew the answer, but that's because Im familiar with the phrase from school, not cuz I'm the second coming of Einstein.

Didn't take that one, but I tend to score really high on IQ tests and it doesn't help me in life an iota. Good for the self esteem and not much else.

So was my answer wrong just because I never learnt that?

I read somewhere that these tests only work on kids. I took it in elementary school and got somewhere in the range of gifted.

Why would it work on kids?
I'm curious.

I once took an online IQ test when I was like 15ish, and it told me I was brilliant. Hehe. Tell that to my teachers. Um...

Oh, unless you mean you took an actual IQ test with someone qualified to give IQ tests? Yeah, cool, I assume those are legit. Very cool. Thumbs Up

15 minute test- I almost ran out of time. I found it challenging.

You scored a 37, whichputs you in the 98thpercentile. According tothe WAIS, your IQ isbetween 132 and 135.

According to the brilliant moms here, it seems like I am on the lower end of the imamother spectrum.

Oh now I get what Agreer what saying. Yeah there was a number on my results page. I think 44? Hmm. No idea. I'll have to retake it later.

Anyways yes welcome to Imamother, where everyone is exceptionally brilliant and pretty enough to stop traffic. Wink

I just had to see what happens when you get every answer wrong.

You scored a 4, whichputs you in the 2ndpercentile. According tothe WAIS, your IQ is below75.

Do you get 4 points for being able to select an answer?
