10 but then my IQ's 169.
YOUR IQ compared to" World Chess Champion" Garry Kasparov ..
Sort:
One could argue that Bombay is the odd man out since it is the only city that has changed its name.>>>
True but part of intelligence testing is using your intelligence to determine the most likely answer.
I scored a 106 on this particular test in which Kasporov got a 135. ---Nathan Larkin Coppedge

The difference between intelligence and knowledge has completely flown over the head of whoever composed this test.

This is stupid. I got all of them right. Do I have IQ of 160? I don't know. Does it have to do anything with IQ? No way. This is general knowledge.
I got three right so I'm basically stupid! whoopee...
my friend's iq is 160 XD
When one of the questions has three possible correct answers it is hard to take seriously: Rio de Janeiro (southern hemisphere), Washington (State, others are cities, Washington D.C. is the city), Bombay (the only unofficial name on the list, it is officially Mumbai).

Q Test Solutions
1. Whale. The whale is the only mammal.
2. 90, 93. The numbers alternately increase by 3 or double.
3. Hermes. All the others are planets in the solar system.
4. Optics. Acoustics is the science of sound, optics of light.
5. 39. Each subsequent number is obtained by doubling the previous one and then subtracting a number which increments by one each time (e.g. 3x2 - 1 = 5; 5x2 - 2 = 8; 8x2 - 3 = 13 etc.)
6. Aristotle. All the others are composers.
7. Rio de Janeiro. Rio is in the southern hemisphere. All the others are in the northern hemisphere.
8. 197. All the other numbers are perfect squares.
9. J. If the letters are replaced by their position in the alphabet, we get the sequence 2, 5, 10, 17, 26. Each of these numbers is a square number plus one.
10. 22. The upper row numbers increment by 2, 3 and 4. The lower row by 3, 5 and 7.
Now check your score against the following chart:
Correct answers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
IQ rating 82 90 98 106 115 124 133 142 151 160
Scoring 100 is average, while 130 is in the genius range (see chapter 1 of the book). Kasparov took a similar test and registered an IQ of 135.
I got 6 right so my IQ on this test is 124 :)
I got all right but my IQ is 145 not 160

John Ludvig Hammer is a GM, but he's as dumb as a box of rocks, IMHO. At the highest levels, memory is more important than IQ.
Bullshit. Jon Ludvig is the second best endgameplayer in Norway, which is impossible for dumb-rocks.
got 8 right

For question no 7 answer can be Bombay also. because rest of the cities are/were capitals of different countries
I solved question no 5 in a different way using method of differences. 3,5,8,13,22, are the numbers. so difference between the consecutive numbers are 2,3,5,9. now take the diffrence again for these numbers, you will get 1,2,4,..so next difference should be 8 here hence first diffrences series should be 2,3,5,9,17. Therefore missing number in the question should be 39 as 39-22=17
Yeah. I’m 15 and got a score of 9 but I answered the question incorrectly because I had chosen Bombay as my answer.
Keep in mind that IQ deteriorates with age, so Kasparov's IQ at his prime was probably ~155
Easy 9 and this test an inaccurate reflection on determining one's IQ. Question answer 4: Hearing is to acoustics as seeing is to optics - I had to kick myself with hindsight.

Keep in mind that IQ is an obsolete measuring scale that doesn't mean anything anymore.
my IQ 60 but I just love chess
I know this is old, but I answered the capital/hemisphere question in both ways so I would've gotten 9/11 but that isn't a possible score so 8/10 will do. My IQ may be higher than Garry Kasparov based on this test, but he is an amazing chess player with years of practice and experience so I would come nowhere close to beating him in a game.
