I got 150 on the last “free iq test” I took but don’t these mean nothing?

Confirmed sub 90. Saged

>>13971025
138 last test I had.

>>13971033
a real one would be more comprehensive and there's more validity in the amount of questions, sure, but they're not always a bad indicator

while you were studying how to get a 133 on your iq test...i was studying books...

>studying for an iq test

>>13971025
I am.

I was tested as a kid, probably at about 7, and was way above average but I'm 100% too scared to do one again in case I've become a retard since.

A large part of me thinks they fucked up the test somehow. If someone is smart shouldn't they feel it? Most of the time I feel like a retard.

But Im a fucking idiot so explain sir

My IQ is 136, which is totally useless since I do have autism

130 is prime midwit territory. Anything under 145 is sub human.

>>13972355
These ain't Fahrenheit, Amerifat. 100 is average.

>all i heard about it was that the result wasn't exceptional
oh well

Are you me

>free iq test
I unironically made 175 in one of those.
Decide yourself how likely it is that one of the brightest geniuses that ever walked the world would be posting on 4chan right now.

>>13971033
They do. You're a genius

i wonder
where is the bottom 50%

>>13971998
>If someone is smart shouldn't they feel it?
No
If you're smart you think you're dumb because subconsciously you can't accept that everyone except you is so wrong and dumb all the time. There must be something wrong about you.
Well, Everyone is exactly so wrong and dumb all the time. Doctors, teachers, scientists etc included. 90% of them are larping.
You either have an unassailable ego or You'll fall into this trap eventually.

On reddit, but that's a given.

Even if this means nothing, I was nervous waiting for the results to load. I always feel like an idiot and suspect I have a low IQ (think double digits) for how often I need to ask questions before I feel like I can understand something. I remember taking the Raven's Progressive Matrices test as a child and thinking that was a fluke as well... I did well in elementary school but couldn’t keep up in most classes in high school.

Many people act like they understand, pretend they understand or think they understand things when they actually don't.

You might be a bit more honest and overanalyzing than most people.

These tests don't mean anything. I got 160 in the OP and 130 in real life.

>>13972805
Go home, sandnigger. Your country is 90 IQ at best. Sucks.

>>13971025
I already took this one, among others. I'm insecure as fuck, this score does not reflect my everyday problem solving abilities and common sense, at all.

>>13973095
oh yeah, i'm not on r9k anymore lately, thank fuck.

>>13973099
I honestly think it might be my appalling visual working memory and executive functions that bottleneck all my other abilities. I know I'm not completely dumb, since I can complete these tests quite successfully, but I'm often so slow at certain tasks and understanding certain situations or stuff people are telling me. It has really messed with my head over the years, I don't understand my brain. When all the clutter is stripped away, and I can think in purely abstract terms, I can do really well. Since real life usually consists of you having to juggle tons of little details in working memory though, I get stuck and overwhelmed.

>>13971025
148 here but I'm a fucking loser so whatever

My outcome is negative

No, I read

If an IQ test is mostly spatial reasoning or mathematical patterns, I suck at it (I got a 126 on this one). If it’s verbal linguistic heavy, I will get in the 140s. I was always ass at math. It’s weird being half a brainlet.

I literally just chose the 4th answer to all the questions.
am I genius guys?

>>13971025
Seeing yo ubrainlets get legitimately decent to highly above average scores makes me wonder how fucking high IQ were people like Leo Tolstoy, Herman Melville, Fyodor Dostoevsky, etc.?

IQ isn't that important. Hegel was around average intelligence yet he wrote some of the most important pieces of philosophy

get fucked OP

>>13973736
>181
you know it's a shitty test when scores go so high.

Which one of these tests is actually the most fun?

>>13971132
I also was tested as a child and tested above the rest. I was failing everything and the school suggested my parents have me tested for a learning disability, doctor's report, he is bored, put him in advanced classes, he will excel. The school put me in remedial classes because they knew better than the doctor they recommended, got to love public education.

I have no fear of having another IQ test, but I really do not care or see the point.

Heard y'all were talkin shit.

>>13973605
I'm the same dude, verbal intelligence is largely related to your phonological working memory, so basically how easily you can manipulate sounds inside your head. Mathematical intelligence is probably mostly related to visuo-spatial working memory.
I can do mental arithmetic no problem, but i suck at graph theory, trigonometry, all that.
I also feel motorically retarded most of the time, like i can barely walk normally without tripping. It makes me so, so self-conscious. I actually had the shit tested and my psycho-motor/visual processing speed was like 80, which is borderline retarded. Verbal on the other hand, I scored in the lower 130's, with an uncertainty of 5 points +-
I feel your pain, there's nothing we can do. I'm stuck in this state for the rest of my life. I feel like a houseplant sometimes, I really do. I can think, but I can't execute. It's like locked-in syndrome, the worst shit ever. It really is.
Fuck, I hoped writing this would make me feel better, but it doesn't, it's still shit.

extremely high desu, IQs of over 140 are a severe liability

>>13971132
>test as kid
>120
>online test as adult with that retarded find the pattern thing
>90

i literally pretend to be retarded on a daily basis, pick my nose at work (i serve coffee) and am probably going to kill myself (if i can manage to make it look like a murder)

>>13971025
N-no

>>13975132
it's alright, you're probably just not good at (visual) abstract reasoning. that score you got as a kid probably reflects large strengths in other areas. Honestly, I hope for you you're like the opposite of me, cause it seems my intelligence profile is inversely proportional to happiness.

126. Took an iq test in high school and got 126. Then i took a different test 5 years later and got the same score again

>>13975143
or you can muster up a better life?

>do iq tests
>find maths extremely boring
>don't bother
>do matrices exclusive test
>fail only 2 out of 40
>140 iq

How can this be if I can't bother to do mental math? Is doing menial useless labor like mental math for IQs lower than 140?
