    If you can't get a score {not IQ}, of at least 127, then there's somthing wrong.

    Chuck Norris says intelligence is for the martial arts-impaired!

    People with high IQs are merely former victims of his repeated, relentless high roundhouse kicks to the head.

    Whether the test is flawed or not(which should say something about the people who write it), it still does not change the fact that many earn the Darwin award each year.

    Not good in which direction, high? I came in about 10 points higher than usual.

    They are a membership society ($60 fees) so it benefits them to have tests that are biased high.

    the score is supposed to be representative of your IQ. how are you differentiating between "score" and "{not IQ}"? In the realm of this test, they are one in the same....

    if you score 130, they are saying your IQ is 130....

    it's interesting- the charts, such as SAT score vs. IQ, are relatively accurate in my case...i got a 1320 the last time i took the SAT and my score falls very close to that expectation on the chart. i must note though that my known (NJ tested) IQ is not exactly the number of the test (also consider the ratios/math basis is different for adults vs. children, though the final results always correspond), however, it's damn close vs. other tests i've taken like this online.

    All those graphs looks suspiciously close to torque/horsepower curves to make me wonder what we are being compared to...:))

    I doubt website with a "free IQ test" that makes you pay for membership is able to have the most accurate IQ test available.

    It's a score, not a real IQ.

    I understand it's a score, but it is supposed to be on the same scale as the IQ numbers we are all used to seeing, so if it says 130 as a score, that is supposed to be representative of a 130 IQ.

    How accurate it is, that is up for debate, however-

    t'was surprisingly accurate in my case vs. my known IQ, that's all. IMO, the best way to compare performance in these types of tests is to see in what percentile your performance falls vs. the rest of the public who took the test.



    it was a strange statement where you mentioned that if you can't get a score of atleast 127, their designation for 127 IQ, "then there is something wrong"

    actually you said "somthing"

    anyway,

    i forwarded the link to several well-educated and not-so-well educated people, but incredible minds nonetheless, who scored less than 127...

    i guess there is "somthing" wrong.

    --------------------

    BTW, for anyone who is indeed interested in such "adult" testing, the official Mensa test is A#1 when it comes to accepted accuracy.

    As God is my witness, I KNEW something was wrong with this test.
    After I got my results, I thought "Hmmmmm, maybe I should apply for SSI..."

    If your friends have "incredible minds" then either they went too fast/ didn't read the questions because 127 is an easy score to achieve.

    Like I said, it's not exactly the perfect test.
