hmm... I am a 136 iq person. Is this good? 

I have never seen people getting < 100 from online  IQ tests.

If 100 people sit those IQ tests, most people will get similar result like you. wink.png

I got 65 on one. I considered it an achievement to score zero on every question.

The test had a range from 65 to 135 and advertised itself by making up scores for all of your Facebook friends. My sister-in-law was happy about doing better than my 120, but I had not yet taken it. Her comment was how I learned about it. Then I took it, twice. Got 135 the first time and 65 the second.

These tests are usually phishing schemes. After they give you an inflated score, they suggest that you brag about it on FB. That gives them access to your friends' list, etc.

Woah dude, we don't need a sob story about your failures. Also, please post a picture of the results of your mensa IQ test.

 Woah dude, if being self-employed and working for a few hours a day to have financial freedom while having the rest of the time to pursue my other hobbies looks like a failure to you, then you must be a billionaire or famous.

"Ohh, All online IQ tests are bs." Don't be shallow. It's like saying all online chess rating is a knockoff. Also if you're as smart as you think you are, why are you only rated 1500 btw.

 

 

"I was the one who initially posted this IQ test on here. Details are below:

This one's scientifically validated and converts your score into 15SD, same as WAIS-R. It was designed by Ilona Jerabek, a psychometrician who did her postdoctorate at McGill University, and a bunch of other professional statisticians, psychologists, and AI researchers. The test and score are free but you can pay $7 for a detailed report.

If you look at my profile I have played 12 games and haven't lost a single one of them. Internet chess rating is not accurate either, this is well known. Typically there's an inflation gradient of about 300 points. This is why a 1200 FIDE will be a 15-1600 on chess.com. However the rating is usually measurable to an extent and averages about 300 points inflation. Internet IQ tests are not. The standard for IQ tests is the Mensa IQ test, which you can take only once and will accurately measure your IQ from a society full of smart people. A internet test does not do this, and will not do this because of the fact that their averages are derived from people who can retake the test over and over to obtain a higher score. The math problems in the test are not an accurate representation of common ability. Most internet IQ tests use geometry problems because it is harder for the layman to input that into a calculator. This does not accurately quantify intelligence. Someone who is not as proficient at geometry will score lower and thus the problem persists that you are not accurately tested. Also there's a slight problem of cherry picking in the tests to make you feel better.

Don't take it from me though take it from a guy with a Ph.D in neuroscience from the guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/nov/29/iq-tests-online-are-they-valid

 

I quote: "And be wary of anyone who publicly shows off about their scores on such tests. An intelligent person would do no such thing."
