IQ Tests

I was putting around the net today and at some point a IQ quiz popup popped up. I thought what the hell, I have nothing better to do so I took it. Mind you I did not concentrate on any of the questions, nor did I spend much time on them. I am also very tried and was not really interested in how accurate I answered. My results were:

Congratulations, joe!
Your IQ score is 122

This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Emode's Ultimate IQ test. Your IQ score is scientifically accurate; to read more about the science behind our IQ test, click here.

During the test, you answered four different types of questions � mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We analyzed how you did on each set of those questions, which reveals the way your brain processes information.

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test. According to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Word Warrior.

This means you have exceptional verbal skills. You can easily make sense of complex issues and take an unusually creative approach to solving problems. Your strengths also make you a visionary. Even without trying you're able to come up with lots of new and creative ideas. And that's just a small part of what we know about you from your test results.

Does any one know where you can take a real IQ test without having to pay for it?

IQ tests IMHO are a waste of time - nothing but a novelty to amuse him/herself.

But if you'd like a through IQ test without having to pay MUCH for it, I recommend that you visit MENSA, pay 15 bucks american, and try their test.

I'd have to agree with TerranC, head to Mensa, because IQ tests can be affected my many different settings, including regional location.

IQ tests only test one or two of the 7 distinct aspects of intelligence.

I once did one IQ test which were supposed to be similar to Mensa test. It gave me IQ of 148, which I find amusing. I went there through one discussion board and half of them got over 130. Quite intelligent people or the test was utterly false. Which would be right?

Consider this: it is assumed that if you count all people's IQ and count average of them, you get 100. I believe that in the discussion forum I found this, has propable higher average intelligence than 100, but only 5%...10% of people's go into 130 points and they were not THAT great thinkers. At least most of them weren't.
