What's Your Iq?

[Ron]

A good IQ test is a language independent one.
Suppose Einstein would have taken a Dutch one.
Suppose Einstein would have been dyslexic.
Would that have made him less intelligent?

Yes - it's a ridiculous measure anyway. It has too much cultural and socio - economic bias.

The tests rely on knowledge of things like common words or phrases. They also rely on a certain level of education. The arithmetic tests for example are much easier if you have studied the subject.

What is a half of a tenth of 200 is much easier if you are comfortable with arithmetic.

So yes - he would have been less intelligent, as measured in this way. But it doesn't really mean anything anyway.

In any case, most of what he said was actually wrong. As was most of what Newton said. etc, etc, etc ....

118 and DID NOT CHEAT.........still stupid though lol

[J'Pol]

I cheated to make mine lower.

The test does not take into account a persons age. There does not seem any time limit to it. An intelligence test should test you on what you dont know. Anyone can learn by rote. A proper I.Q. test takes about 2 hours.

I am not saying this because I only got 115

I sat a proper intelligence test in the presence of a psychologist in 1984 and got a score of 153. So you can see where age makes a difference.

Congratulations, Nigel!
Your IQ score is 131

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 were able to analyze how you did on each set of those questions, which reveals the way your brain uniquely works.

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

This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
