I usually average these tests between 130-140. Its probably one of the more accurate tests I've taken. But then again, I haven't had my morning coffee.

I cleaved the normal line in half. 100

[mtosev]

all above average ppl here. this is scaring me. LOL :D

[FordGT90Concept]

Don't worry. This "IQ" test is only that of pattern recognition. Not really thorough nor scientific. ;)

IQ testing has always been contested. It is far from fool-proof and should always be taken with a large grain of salt.

They say Stephen Hawking is the smartest man on the planet, but i bet he doesn't know how to change a tire. Intelligence can never be measured by a simple 40 minute test.

What is the pigment in the skin called?


And no google.

[erocker]

The pigment of the skin is pigment. The type of melanin can determine the pigments color. :p

*Not Googled.

[FordGT90Concept]

What is the pigment in the skin called?
What is melanin? Oh wait, I answered a question with a question. Curse you Jeopardy! :(


The more melanin, the darker the skin appears. Melanin is also responsible for the coloring of the iris of the eye. Albinos lack melanin.

Why I remember all that is is beyond me. I have no use for that information. :\

Let's face it, he could know how to fly, but there's no bloody way he could do it. Poor guy, I have a lot of respect for him.

[WhiteLotus]

Let's face it, he could know how to fly, but there's no bloody way he could do it. Poor guy, I have a lot of respect for him.

If he knew how to fly then he would prove that Gravity does not exist... or that he has found a way to create an anti-gravitational field. Which would be awesome.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

[mlee49]

If he knew how to fly then he would prove that Gravity does not exist... or that he has found a way to create an anti-gravitational field. Which would be awesome.

Google, Super Critical Fluids or Ferofluids and see if you can find an antigravitational vehicle.

[FordGT90Concept]

Egg, more specifically, gametes. The chicken is the result of specific genetic sequence in the egg. Change that sequence (vitro fertilization) and your chicken egg could no longer be considered a chicken. For instance, it might be a turkey.

Where did the phrase "crossing the rubicon come from"? or better known as "the point of no return"

[FordGT90Concept]

Gaius Julius Caesar, 49 BC. He was marching his army towards Rome and the Rubicon marked the Roman territorial claim. Crossing it meant a declaration of war.

[WhiteLotus]

Hmm you know your stuff Ford,


I'm gunna have to think of some more questions... this is kinda fun.

[mtosev]

now for a new iq test:

i got a score of: 122 http://www.shrani.si/f/3M/Iz/2w9Mj146/1/slika.png

any candidates?
http://www.gigiassessment.com/

[Papahyooie]

on the first one i got 102 after clicking randomly on the last twelve because I got bored... perhaps if I get a sudden burst of "pay attention" I'll finish it and post a SS. In high school the one we took was way more in depth and I scored 132... doubt I could do it again. Knew way more math back then.

I did score 94 on the ASVAB when I went for my marine corps testing. Suppose that counts for something.

(oh and I was at 36 minutes when I stopped... guess my attention span is alot shorter than I thought...)

Wasn't it from Caesar's fight with Hannibal? Idk, I remember it being explained in an issue of "Y: The Last Man" because Yorik said "You just crossed the fucking Rubicon". Edit: I see Ford answered teh question.

Anyways, it says my brain is a little above normal. I just guessed on the last few though, my eyes were hurting.

[de.das.dude]

this IQ test has the same questions at mensa's site, so i didnt finish it as that would be cheating. i got 132 on that mensa one.

[yogurt_21]

http://img.techpowerup.org/100719/ScreenHunter_188.jpg

and the other one was 115.

I guess it shows I'm not a mechanic lol. Still not sure wtf the shape recognition gives me.

edit: just retook the first one, apparently there's no randomization. lol

http://img.techpowerup.org/100719/ScreenHunter_189.jpg

[theJesus]

I got halfway through before I couldn't be arsed to concentrate any longer and then I just clicked on random answers for the remaining ~20 questions. Still scored 101, which is 1 point above "normal" lol

Makes me wonder how high I'd score if it didn't bore the shit out of me.

No, you'd probably get around 100. I did the first half in under 10 minutes and mostly guessed at the rest and got a 103 I think.

[FordGT90Concept]

Yeah, I went through the first half quickly because I am satisfied with just checking horizontal and vertical logic. In the second half, I get progressively slower because I find myself checking shift, rotation, diagonal, positional, etc. logic. By the last 9 questions, I simply bog myself down with possibilities feeling like I should take each problem aside and write a program to test them all. XD

I think I reached the last 9 with about 15-20 minutes left on the clock. I only managed to answer 1-3 of them before I ran out of time.

[theJesus]

Yeah, first half goes by really quick and it all seems fairly obvious and then at some point it's just like "wtf is this shit?" and it takes more effort to determine the pattern and then I lose interest.

[Mussels]

i just woke up and skipped a few of the later questions

yo smart ppl.can anyone tell me why do I get on some IQ test scores of 120-128 and on others I get scores of 100-107? Why is there such a difference in scores:/

Because of the different methods used to test. No IQ test is infallible.

Dude, he probably already got beat up enough in high school, he doesn't need it happening in his adult life too.

[FordGT90Concept]

Naw, I'm a big guy, never got beat up but, what use is joining Mensa? Bragging rights? I would rather brag less, not more. :p

As I've said many times in this thread, I don't like how societies try to make everyone fit into standards. Just because an autistic guy scores as a retard doesn't mean he can't paint 10 times better than me. There's so many facets to intelligence and these IQ tests only test one: pattern recognition. I may not be all that intelligent actually, but very good at identifying patterns.

Your age adjusted IQ score is 112 and the average score of all test takers is 100.


Your IQ score is the result of a formula based on the number of questions answered correctly on the test. This score has been further adjusted to account for the differences in capabilities among various age groups

See what your current position is

Grade Range Percent
Genius 144 0.13%
Gifted 130-144 2.14%
Above average 115-129 13.59%
Higher average 100-114 34.13%
Lower average 85-99 34.13%

It booted me out. :mad:

It looks like I was up to question 23 so I got 19/22 correct.

[mtosev]

too bad for u.i did the test in under 10min as over-thinking stuff makes me do mistakes.btw it did say that u have only 20min available

[FordGT90Concept]

I know, but I always take tests at my own pace. I refuse to answer a question unless I have a rational explaination for an answer and my explaination has no holes. So naturally, I spend a lot of time on complex problems checking for holes. I may arrive at the correct answer within seconds but spend another minute making sure it is right.

[mtosev]

haha. that's not the best logic for doing tests. every test I take that has a time limit I first answer the stuff I know, then I do the stuff that is more challenging and if I have any time left I go again over my answers and I check if I maybe made any mistakes

[FordGT90Concept]

How is it not the best "logic?" Logic to me dictates tests shouldn't be timed. It would take me longer to analyze every problem twice than solving it correctly the first time.

[yogurt_21]

How is it not the best "logic?" Logic to me dictates tests shouldn't be timed. It would take me longer to analyze every problem twice than solving it correctly the first time.

logic dictates that all problems have their own inherent time limits thus restricting the amount of time one has to solve said problems.

ex: an invasion force is on its way, they will be here in 2 weeks.

ex2: Our wedding is in 2 months and we need to figure out where people are sitting for the reception.

ex3: my car broke down, I need to figure out whether its worth fixing or if I should buy another.

ex4: The ceo is on his way down here, we need to come up with an explanation for why the project failed.

ex5: I'm running out of gas.

ex6: my house is on fire

and etc.

[mtosev]

your current logic cost you getting more points on that IQ test. if u wouldn't have wasted too much time of some questions you would have gotten a better score at the end.
maybe it would cost more time but u wasted precious time on some questions and a ran out of time to do the rest. I'm talking about that. school tests are also timed. i dunno how much time ppl in american schools have to finish a test but here the limit is 45min on a normal test. if you didn't lose so much time on some questions you would have finished the test, answered more questions (probably also gotten a higher score) and had time left to check over your answers without leaving some questions unanswered

[FordGT90Concept]

Not necessarily. It likely would have been a wash. The faster you go, the more mistakes you make.

Except the standardized tests in school (Iowa Test of Basic Skills and ACT tests), nothing was timed. They preferred you finish the test before the class period ends and sometimes I went over by a few minutes but they don't mind too much. Outside of standardized tests, they never forced me to hand in an incompleted test.

The problem with these tests is they often rely on imagery. It isn't a simple "what is the capital of the Norway?" Oslo. The answers do not rely on prior knowledge, but pattern recognition. Complex patterns take time to decipher and in deciphering it, might even find another complex pattern within. Once you spot the pattern, you then have to process the images in a specific order to fill in the blank. It takes time.

Case in point: even having not answered all the questions, I still got a better score than you.

[mtosev]

yes u did. i don't waste too much time on a given question and also I didn't even try to answer any questions that weren't logical to me.also i couldn't answer the alphabet question as i don't know the whole alphabet in any language
PS my point wasn't that u got more points than me but that u wasted time and gotten a lower score

[mtosev]

my logic that u got less points can be proven easily.do the test again without wasting to much time on one question and u will see that u will get more points

[FordGT90Concept]

yes u did. I don't waste too much time on a given question and also i didn't even try to answer any questions that weren't logical to me.also i couldn't answer the alphabet question as i don't know the whole alphabet in any language
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

my logic that u got less points can be proven easily.do the test again without wasting to much time on one question and u will see that u will get more points
I remember the answers I gave last time so I effectively only have to solve the last 10. Of course I'll get better results.

[mtosev]

well u can forget me remembering that. when I was 6-7 years old i never could remember the whole alphabet. i can't remember all of those letters in the correct order. also the alphabet in my language is different and also don't know that one

PS look at my edit in the #103 post

[mtosev]

I remember the answers I gave last time so I effectively only have to solve the last 10. Of course I'll get better results.Wait a week to forget the answers u gave and do the test again

[FordGT90Concept]

Meh, not worth my time.

Which is why they time tests to see how fast you can do it. I think speed is good on these tests. I've done tests both ways and I always get better scores when I'm not thinking that hard.

The test in the OP I got 126 on, the latest one he posted 122. Then ones I've done "irl" were in the 130s. Which isn't natural.

[FordGT90Concept]

I've never done a court-admissible IQ test. Don't intend to either.
