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

occured to me when i read that: ya, life. 
although failure tends to carry it's own price.

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

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

Re: IQ Tests
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.

Re: IQ Tests
See the problem with any IQ test is that it's not a fair judge of your IQ because if you choke under preasure you are royaly screwed .
However it is also not very good because different IQ tests use different systems of questions that will make your score vary for example the first IQ test I ever took I scored a 117 with the "possibility" of being a 120 because of my advanced linguistic skills and my ability to rapidly solve problems mentally and respond quickly to a new situation.
However on a second test I took I breezed in easily as a 125 BECAUSE of the exact abilities the other said I could possibly have recieved a 120 for.
Personally I would like to go for 125 for ego's sake but for all I know the first test was more accurate and I'm anywhere from 117 to 120.
P.S. Yes beleive it or not I do have very good linguistic skills I just don't type all that well when I am not under serious preasure.

Re: IQ Tests
Believe it or not, when I was in the Air Force, that was my job. I was a mental health clinic technician, and part of my duties was administering IQ tests. The one we had to use was called the Weschler (heck, I haven't give it in 15+ years, so I've forgotten the whole title). Unfortunately, I was taught how to use it before someone gave me the test, so I never really did learn my IQ at that time. I tell you, that test can be something, especially when you're trying to get a geriatric person to pay attention long enough for him/her to make a response. But I was never really happy in that field, so got out of the Air Force after one of those reductions.

Re: IQ Tests
Mensa makes the IQ test using only graphics. There is 3 figures and you have to choose what is the fourth one from 6 (IIRC) choices. I haven't made official Mensa test (I made home test just for fun), but here is a link to one which tries to be like it. It is finnish, but if you are intelligent enough, you will figure out how to make it 
There is 40 minutes time and you need to have flash on your browser in order to make it. When you follow the link, the test starts immediately.
Start here
