[LucyPurrs]

They don't have an age range above 55? Phooey.

Try with 55. It doesn't matter much.

 

[Danny X]

What does it mean if I get 131?

It means you are intelligent.

 

[Voltaic]

It means you are intelligent.

it just means you are good a a random test. no one test can tell you how intellagent you are.

No, this test is accurate IQ test.

 

[Voltaic]

not questhioning the integraty of the test. i am dennying is usefullness


but, this is no place to continue this.

 

[Origins]

No bad blood here. I just took the test for fun.

 

[VioletHaze_03]

uhhhhhhhhh....apparently i couldn't be tested. so i'm either an immeasurable genius or an extreme moron
oh well, IQ tests are bound to be inaccurate anyway. people have different strengths, and when you design an all-puzzle test, you are biasing it against people who can't do puzzles.

pht... a pattern recognition test, typical Mensa. Every one of their "tests" I've taken has been pattern recognition of one type or another (geometric in this case). Word scrambles, whatever. As if that is the only method of demonstrating IQ. So if you suck at pattern recognition, Mensa will never let you join there little club.

I realize you probably posted this for fun, not expecting blow-back against IQ test or Mensa. Sorry.

 

[SusanLR]

I will take it, just not at 3 am.
Will get back after some sleep.

pht... a pattern recognition test, typical Mensa.

Pattern recognition is only one aspect of IQ. The WAIS-IV Adult test tests IQ in four sub-categories:

• Non-verbal reasoning (same as pattern recognition)
  
• Memory
• Verbal reasoning
• Processing speed

I scored very average in processing speed. My highest score, non-verbal reasoning, was 3σ higher.* The other two were evenly spaced in the order given.

(Full-scale IQ [FSIQ] is like the center mass of all four sub-scores.)

*This spread is unusual for NTs, but not uncommon for NDs. The gap for NTs is usually within ten points.

I am so ridiculously stupid, that I wonder why people say I am highly intelligent?!

I went into this quiz and in truth, I just looked blankly and thought: umm what am I supposed to do? I gathered that perhaps the void space means that one should be able to guess what type of pattern belongs there? Well, I am hopeless with things like that anyway and yet, again, I am told that I am far from stupid, so either the people who say this, are incredably stupid themselves, for imagining I am highly intelligent lol or this quiz is designed to make people doubt their already low self worth?

 

[Progster]

I hate tests which are timed

@Suzanne ,

1. Mensa does not resort to flattery. They accept members based on scores from many professional tests, but those tests are too expensive for many people. Because of this, they offer their own tests (usually older standard ones) at much more affordable rates.
   
   Pages like that in the OP are just sample problems from such tests.

2. One can have a learning disability or autism and a high IQ at the same time. Giftedness masks the autism and autism masks the giftedness. This condition is called Twice Exceptional, or 2E.

I am a member of Mensa & Intertel.

No, this test is accurate IQ test.

IQ tests are notoriously inaccurate for people on the autism spectrum, so there's that

They tend to under-estimate, not over-estimate them.

 

[Danny X]

What is your IQ?

 

[Bolletje]

True. I never stated that IQ-tests overestimate intelligence though, just that they're generally inaccurate for people on the spectrum.
