I just took an IQ test...

I took one the other day and got 147.

I guess it means you're dumber than me.

Is that a Metric 131 or an American 131?

Uggh! Sure you are...familiar, that is. I've never heard of an I.Q. test, whether online or in person, that didn't explain the different levels of what the scores mean. Nevertheless, I'll bite on what you're danglin' and say -- "Wow, Tattered, good job. You're smart!"

Lyx -- who felt like being a smartass because the opposite/alternative is so much worse.

...anything over 125 makes you some sort of genius

but in the genius category, you're a freshie

no worries, though, genius is highly overrated.

131 is really good. above average. nice job!

Sorry you failed. But shouldn't this be in goals and accomplishments?

Something I noted the other day when discussing IQ tests with my boss: I've never met a person who claims to be lower than about 120. This could indicate many things:

1. I surround myself exclusively with smart people.
2. People are lying.
3. Online IQ tests are designed to make everyone who takes them feel smart, and are inaccurate.

i think it's the latter, cat

let's write a well-phrased, disgruntled letter

i think it's funny when people base their intelligence and character on an IQ test. it doesn't measure a lot of different types of intelligence. for example; emotional intelligence and creativity...


waaaaaaait a minute, i'm exempt!

one of my favourite quotes of all time
"i have reflexes of steel!"

I think IQ tests are kind of silly. I took one when I was like 9 and got an 160. I took one again later and got a much lower score. But I mean, did I really get stupider during that time?

*runs away before anyone can answer*

An IQ of 131 on one test can be a 147 on another test. The percentile score on a standard IQ test would be much more accurate as far as IQ tests go. A standard IQ test is one that has been given to a large population to show that the scores represent an accurate percentile score.

I've been a member of Mensa and Intertel, and believe me, I'm still the same jerk that represents himself here.

I took that online test and got a six. I don't think the test is smart enough for me.

I got my master's in Gifted Ed; just over 130 would put you in the 'gifted' range--not genius--on a standardized IQ test (such as Stanford-Binet). What it means on an online test is anybody's guess.

Not bad at all! Congratulations!

I know that online test, I think, and it's hard!
That's the test where the norm is 160 and the standard deviation is 10.

Norm is pretty smart, huh?

110 is average, so 130+ is pretty smart.

When I was your age, I was always fucking about at school. The teachers thought I was dumb, thicker than dry paint and tried to send me to a 'stupid-school'. To be admitted I had to do an IQ test, they didn't show me the results at first and sent me back to where I'd come from. They took me back, wowed by the results of the test, appologizing for any miscrepency. Turns out, my IQ was 147-150. However, my EQ was horribly low. Further tests showed that I had Asperger's syndrome and dyselxia, later I was diagnosed with schizoid affective disorder as well.

Just goes to show, the curse of the great is to be totally insane; there is but a thin line between genius and madness (not that I consider myself a genius!)

fine tuning your count

131 minus 3 grams fiber should give you 128 usable intelligence.

I got a 3! . I'm smarter than I thought I was.
