142 - I think it's wrong because I am dumb as fuck.

>mfw this thread turns into another IQ-dick measuring contest.

Ohey guys!

"Very Extremely Gifted" was the result, whatever that means. Never asked for a number, because I was a kid and didn't care. I do know they asked me to take multiple tests due to the first couple not being able to accurately assess the result.

>>2157099
>he thinks that the vastly complicated property of intelligence, an index containing many disparate processes boiled down to one number, could be wrong

I have no idea. I can't afford to be tested.

>>2157127
This isn't a thread to discuss the validity of IQ testing. It's simply a survey of peoples results. Seeing as how you've posted here however would you care to post yours?

Feels... average, man.

Tested when i was 8ish got 142

but i'm a dumbfuck who knows next to nothing about everything because all i do is browse /b/ and play vidya games. IQ is bullshit bros

125-130

ITT: everyone is above average

148 when I was 12. Probably gone down (if that's possible) because all I do now is play video games and browse 4chan.

>>2157162

I got the highest possible grade in that online thing. Felt pretty good, but Mensa still creeps me out.

i kan did pooo

Ha, the first one I ever took :
Scored 78.

Military draft intelligence test: 52 out of a possible 75 correct answers, placing me firmly in the upper 2 % of testees.

I've taken a few random internet IQ-tests since, and I always get a fairly average score, like + / - 110.

>>2157226
me too. I'm easily smart enough to join but it seems like a bunch of assholes circle jerking each other and a tiny handful of truly intelligent people.

>>2157252

>78
Are you borderline retarded?

I'm pretty sure they tested my entire 8th grade class, but they didn't tell us it was an IQ test. They never got back with my results, so I imagine I didn't score too highly or they would have put me in some sort of gifted program.

152 when I was 7. I estimate 20-30 points worth of growth.

>>2157279
>mfw I was told to go into a gifted program in grade 4 but said no.

>>2157270
Maybe a little. :P

Nah, I'm pretty normal - I think I was just trying to point out that intelligence tests - in my experience - aren't too reliable.

Like I wrote, I have taken a few tests since and I get pretty average results, but also, the military wanted to know if I was autistic because I scored so high on their fucking test.

tl;dr : I R nut retahded

>>2157300
Good for you. But I don't think your results would improve with age because most testing factors age into account meaning a seven yr olds results would be scaled up to project their IQ as an adult.

141.

>>2157330
I think I know you.

126 when I was 5

I'm what they call "twice exceptional". my intellectual prowess mask my handicap and my handicap mask my intellectual gift. I was tested as average but I am quite far from it. The psychologist estimated I am "intellectually superior" but I estimate (with good reason) that I am in the "very superior" range (which is IQ ~131-140).

>>2157310
Many IQ scales are scaled by age. For these types of tests I think there's a tendency for children who test high to test lower when they're older.

Never had it tested directly but based off my SAT scores I would say its somewhere around 120-125.

But my good looks and charm make up for my lack of genius.

I'm kind of stupid, but I have a very large penis. I do OK.

>>2157417

>And lack of grammar.

different standards of the test have different values, on one test a 103 would be the same as a 116 for example so you should be listing the standards here. I scored a 103 when I was 12 and a 136 when I was 18. They tend to be less accurate and the truth is most the people here don't know much about psychology or iq tests, or even how inaccurate they are

The old SAT (pre-2005) was only a rough estimation of cognitive ability. I believe the researchers finding the correlation compared it to the new AFQT (post 2002, it had about 4 subtests removed during the change), which is not an IQ test any longer. Even before the change, the AFQT shouldn't be considered a "good" IQ test, as a few of the subtests didn't excel at actually measuring intelligence over scholastic knowledge, but the correlations were strong enough on the other tests not not make this terribly relevant (statistically). Now about half to 3/4 of the test is made up of achievement-like constituents.

But even if they didn't use the new AFQT for the correlation, the old SAT wasn't really extensive enough to be valid for self assessment.

But, assuming you're cognitively healthy, your IQ is probably within a rough range of your ACT/SAT score.

In a series of tests I received while growing up:

I'm somewhere between 110 and 175. Realistically, I'm more close to 145. IQ tests become especially bullshit once you get past 130 anyway, as a single question can make a 10 point difference at that point. Special tests have to be created for finding exact values of higher IQs. In all tests I've taken, I've scored above average.

I was in all advanced classes while growing up and was even in Accelerated education. The requirement for getting into Accelerated Education was that you have an IQ of at least 135, good grades, excellent scores on a yearly standardized test, and teacher recommendation.

However, IQ only measures the size of the bucket, not what liquid is in it or how much. Sadly, almost everyone I knew that was in the Accelerated program is now doing poorly in life. Some of them have dropped out of school and living off minimum wage, others are into serious drugs. Some of them seem borderline retarded. I, myself, and doing horribly in the college I'm going to.

Long story short, "IQ doesn't matter as much as your 'I Will'". Quote from a cheesy poster that was always up in the Accel. Ed. room while growing up. Only now do I understand exactly how true that is.

take this test, it is as good as any raven matrix exam administered by a psychologist:

http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf..

I don't believe in time limits though

>>2157602

Not really, this IQ test is terribly inaccurate.

It is certainly similar to Raven's Matrices but the scoring method or the problems themselves are certainly quite off.

Raven's Matrices is a cruddy test of fluid intelligence anyways. so even if it did correlate, it shouldn't be taken seriously.

Can we please keep /sci/ still a "decent" board and not get into a fucking IQ war, science is about a quest for knowledge and understanding.

IQ 115-117 (2 different tests)

>>2157617
>>2157617

Let me correct myself, "some" of the problems are similar to what is seen on Raven's Matrices.

But really, Raven's Matrices is shit-tier on my hierarchy of methods of gauging cognition. It stands right beside Phrenology.

The psychological community doesn't even take IQ tests seriously for accurate self assessment, Raven's Matrices is one of the worst. It has a sucky correlation with other tests of fluid intelligence (more extensive ones) that are utilized on the most effective IQ tests (WAIS and Binet 5). It certainly shouldn't be used as an aptitude test for a career and should merely be considered as a very rough estimation of one's innate reasoning ability.

A reverse digit span and reading span test should be given for attempting to predict career performance.

Also, that link made me think you were trolling.

>>2157691
i yet to see any support for your claims about the raven matrix exam being a poor indicator of a non-culturally biased measure of fluid intelligence.

I do agree however that IQ test don't accurately measure intelligence, unless it is testing for levels for retardation.

The two testing methods you mentioned are not the only indicators of intelligence. The number reversal is an indicator of short term memory and attention span.

>>2157691
I remember you. You're that guy from the cognitive enhancement thread. Nice to see you again.

Somewhere around 118-127. An IQ of 90-109 is supposed to account for 50% of the population, so how does everyone have 125+?

last time I took one it was 140, but now I think I'd be about 92................

>>2157736
becouse it´s 4chan! 126!

the average IQ on /sci/ seems tyo be 115-120 range which means the people on this board are more intelligent than ~95% of the population

>>2157707
>>2157707
>>2157707
>>2157707

I apologize for the delayed response, I've been AFK.

Reverse digit span and reading span do obviously indirectly measure attention span and short term memory, but they more specifically attempt to quantify working memory capacity and accuracy.

Working memory has a much stronger correlation with academic performance, achievement test performance, work performance, and general "success" than full scale intelligence. It even has a relevant positive correlation with self esteem.

Ravens Matrices (and Cattel Culture Neutral) only have relatively modest correlations to specifically the subtests of more accepted and accurate IQ tests (WAIS 5 and Binet 5) that measure specifically fluid intelligence. The correlations is even lower with general intelligence.

>>2157845
No problem, but I'm still waiting for academic articles/publications that support this.

I have no qualms with anything else you stated

probably in the 200s

somewhere between 150-Goethe :3

I can't give more accurate bounds than that.

You're a 90 at best.

When I was 12, I scored 134. I don't don't care anymore and haven't taken one since. They are bs.

Jelly?

>>2157524
Thats one awesome Level 5 right there

WISC taken in public school, scored 99th percentile on two categories and 97th percentile on the other, 98th percentile overall.

I laugh whenever I read my report the school sent me, where the only things in the "Needs Improvement" box are "Verbal skills" and "Self-advocacy skills".

>>2157524
>implying IQ tests lose have any value beyond 150.

pi - you jelly?

Never did a test but based on my academic accomplishments, I'd expect to score somewhere between 1-2 sds above the mean. I feel like my success at academics makes people think I'm smarter than I actually am.

had to do go to a psychiatrist to do a test when I was about to finish elementary school after only 5 years (instead of the usual 6 in switzerland) and go directly to high school, scored 143. I now study mathematics and just recently did another test where I scored 145. You jelly?

>>2158468

>>2158503

I'm just asking because I'm studying myself. But fuck UZH, you should've gone to ETH:

it's the truth bro

Lying about your IQ - that's a paddlin'.

>>2158507

>Implying his IQ is 180
>Implying he is studying at the same university as Einstein

Perhaps you should also have them add in Cattell or Stanford. Which is a standard deviation of 24 vs 16 respectively.
Otherwise, this is completely invalid.
Basically, if you live in America, say Stanford.
If you live in a European country, say Cattell.
I don't know which one the other countries use.

Also, somewhere around 130-140 (Stanford).

145 on WAIS III @ 19 (10 yrs ago).

My older brother was 140 on a WISC @ 16, so that translates to about the same as mine on an adult scale.

He's a nurse and an artist, I'm a biologist. We have both been diagnosed with ADHD. Also, if anyone cares, I'm INTJ and he's ENTJ.
