Re: IQ

Got "over 145" on Reach's test with about 15 minutes to spare.



I should add, though, that I put forth an educated guess on #39. I couldn't quite understand that one fully.

Re: IQ

Kage, the answer is 5.

2 x 5 += 10 + 8 = 18.

Oh and my iq is like 140

Re: IQ

Based on two online tests, which were actually very close together, 135 (supposedly).

Re: IQ

I got 130 at The International High IQ Society.

Re: IQ

I really dislike the highiqsociety test... too many repeats. The visual tests are too homogeneous ("Oh look another one where **** just shifts over one spot"), and there's too much reliance on random trivia that really shouldn't be indicative of one's ability to learn new information.

I completely agree. It was loads of fun.

But of course, I did no where near as good as you. I only got 130 with 4 or so questions unanswered.

Re: IQ

On the www.iqtest.dk i managed a 128, which is pretty decent since i smoke pot pretty damn hard Lol..

Re: IQ

Dude. Do not associate pot smokers with low IQ's. Our habit does not prevent us from being as intelligent as the next man or even smarter for that matter.

Re: IQ

Well the things is, 128 isn't all that low, and i don't consider myself too bright (Haven't in years, and wasn't too bright before smoking weed). Come to think of it, I'm a lot smarter when I'm high, i think deeply into **** i shouldn't too..Lol

Question is, am i high now? Well, yeah..I'm always high

Re: IQ

Haha I was somewhat joking anyway, but I feel the same way.

Very nice score Rubix, though that isn't exactly surprising given your academic record. Ravens APM scores (i.e. the test you just took) are highly predictive of academic success, in particular math scores. A 145+ would statistically predict for you to score over the top on tests like the SAT (2400), which is what I'll assume you got on it.

(For #39, the shapes move horizontally from box to box and then change shape. E.g. If you had 3 squares on the left, they would move to the middle and become some other shape, like a triangle. However, very few people are capable of solving this problem. Less than 1 in ~10,000)

Though, you could try the TRI52 test I posted, which has a higher ceiling.

I recently retook the test in an attempt to get a perfect score and spent about an hour on it. I got a 960, though I'm not sure if higher is possible at my age range.



Also, with respect to someone that mentioned pot and IQ, regular smokers can experience hippocampal cell loss due to apoptosis, which can have an effect on decreasing scores on memory portions of IQ tests. However, it seems to have little effect on overall general intelligence.

Re: IQ

I got 103 on the test that Reach posted. o__O

Re: IQ

Reach: My SAT is 2390/2400 with about 4 other SAT2 800's, 36 ACT. I missed on the Verbal section. It still really bugs me even to this day.

Also, wtf @ #39, haha, that's nuts. Changing shapes AND shifting? Gross!

I'll have to check out that other test you mentioned.

What would you say needs to be present for an IQ test to be of any worth, and what do you think are the most important conclusions that you can draw from an IQ score?

You do bring up a good point, intelligence can be measured in different ways.

In Reach's link, the test is about using logic to determine what the missing figure would be formed by looking at the other shapes or patterns.

Since I don't really know what the appropriate word would be in this situation, I'll just say that the test Rubix got a 145 on was an "interpretation quiz." You don't have to know complex subjects such as chemistry to do a quiz that requires you to predict the next shape that would replace the missing slots.

In my opinion, knowing something like historical events is not intelligence. I think that is just memory; the test Reach linked to requires to realise patterns and/or unusual features.
