What is your IQ?

no idea, never been tested.

well,I don't know how right or wrong these IQ tests are.They might be the absolute criteria of someone's intelligence. They might be worthless.I don't really care.For me,the best bet is to TALK to the other person,get to know him/her.If I meet someone and I believe that he is a moron,and I learn afterwards that an IQ test showed that his IQ is TOP,I will still believe that he's a moron

I have never had one.

don't know. took it awhile ago. where can I take one?

I don't know my IQ. I do know that it was enough to get me into the gifted program in grade school, but that's it. High IQ doesn't impress me; i've known too many smart butt-holes.

my iq is high enough (iq>160), but that just means that i am good at taking tests. whoopee.

I've taken several IQ tests (first I remember was when I was 9), and have scored anywhere from 158-172. I just went and took an online test (http://www.iqtest.com/welcometest.html) and got a 168. I feel the importance of IQ is often overblown, but it does seem to have some correlation with overall intelligence. Never met anyone who admitted to an "average" score, though. Perhaps it's just a huge ongoing psych experiment in self-image and esteem.

I don't know what my IQ is, but I was in seminar classes in high school. No, I don't have very much respect at all for IQ tests. I know some exceedingly intelligent people with low IQ's and vice versa. There are many biases in most any method of testing, and many assumptions made on the way someone was brought up.

I have taken one I.Q test before. It was a logic and skill test and according to the test I am a genius. Pffft! As far as I am concerned, I think they are a load of tar (to be polite). They are always biased and you could never get a true measure. AT least not with the king of tests they have now.

I think IQ tests may have some relevance in educational settings. Otherwise, things that matter like good manners and kindness can't be measured by a test. Nor can 'street smarts' be measured - which probably are more helpful in 'real' life than an IQ result.

153 - I just took the on-line test that jefff gave a URL for (thanks jefff!) ... I also order the $9.95 full-report, does that mean I should take some points off my score? ...this score puts me in a very high category (this web-site says:"An IQ of 130 is higher than 98% of all persons taking this test.", and "130 is genius"). I have trouble believing that I'm a genius. Is my self-confidence too low or is this test kind of silly? I suspect most/all of my friends would score in the genius range as well...

I don't believe in it. As you probably know, intellegence tests don't measure the emotions, the affective realtions and so on (and intelligence is supossed to be the union of scientific thinking, memory and emotions (or something like this... Most of my friends are psichologists)

My dad once told his close friends that his IQ was 90 (it is far from it), and they started talking louder to him and using simpler dialogue. The story was rather funny, but in reality, it doesn't really matter.

I've never taken an intelligence test, but I know I'm brilliant

I took some tests in elementary school, but never heard what my score was. I think IQ tests accurately measure something, but the correlation between that something and ability to perform arbitrary mental tasks is unclear. I'd be unimpressed with someone who bothered to tell me their IQ, but the actual rating wouldn't affect my view of them much.

I took some tests in school. I used to know what my IQ was, but I've forgotten. I could care less what folks' IQ's are, though whether or not I find them intelligent does matter quite a bit.

IQ tests are only measuring 2 of 7 categories of being "smart". I know half the people here are going to say 130+, but I don't care, I KNOW I took it right.

There are several online IQ tests, and they varied, one said 133; another, 146; another, 167; another, 170; another, 160 (this one was a real life WAISR). So my standard devation is about an average 155.2 from all these tests. These only test things such as patterns, and basic things.

From where I come from, Nippon (Japan) they teach kids these patterns, over and over again, so basically everyone's just memorizing these abstract things that are only in essence found in real life.

IQ's are not totally credible after grade school, as there seems to be a close relation between IQ and performance academically in grade school, but afterwards it gets less and less related. It doesn't have much meaning after grade school, it just shows a child's potential. Gifted does not mean talented.

Pff, I knew that a lot of people would put near genius IQ scores. Oops, a bit of onomatopoeia back there.

By the way, everybody who did post an online score or childhood score, minus 20, myself included. These online tests seem off by that much. Childhood IQ's are very high, but remember that they differ from adult scales.

Oh yes, I almost forgot, if you ever smoked cannibis in large amounts, subtract 10 to 20 points for lost brain neurons.

I am not impressed by high IQ scores here, because I know quite a few people are lying or cheating.

I am, however, impressed by anybody who can admit having a score about 80

My mom worked at a place that (among other things) made IQ tests. I've never had much respect for them. I think I've been dismissive about them since gradeschool. I've measured as low as 25 ant up to 130 (excluding the one language based verbal one that I topped out in Jr. High. I was in the special ed (I'm dislexic and had an attitude about school) system at the same time I was in the advanced placement system. And I went through a battery of tests a year for a while.) As I see it, it's all relitive...

Hmmm... don't remember exactly. Was high, but not too much. I think IQ are very "culture" related and based on non objective principles. I know personally some people with very high IQ, and I very impressed, but about how nature can give so much to one and really nothing to others... P.S.: But, well, following KenShingo words ("if you ever smoked cannabis in large amounts, subtract 10 to 20 points for lost brain neurons."), my IQ must be about -180 or perhaps -200... ;)

Took the listed exam. It's 3:30am, I'm distracted, and sleepy. It still ranks me in the genius level which suggests that a) They're trying to get you to buy their profile (who's going to pay $10 to find out exactly *how* they're stupid? :) or b) I'm pretty good at taking T/F tests. (I went random on a couple of the questions because I didn't feel like doing the visualization, and the answer seemed logical) I'm not dumb by any means, but I doubt that test is a good measure. Intelligence-wise, I spent a lot of time in High School with people on the high end of the scale with less survival sense than peat moss, and kids who were "dumb" who taught me things. Intelligence is too broad a term to define, at least at this hour.

I've never taken one. IQ tests are valid only if you're trying to estimate how well someone will do in higher education. They're really good for that, but not very good for testing "intelligence" in any other form. They won't tell if you'd be good potter, or carpenter, or poet, or writer, or even an engineer. they'll only tell if you'd get good grades in school. Anyone who's been to school knows that there's always those folks who get good grades, but are dumber than tree-stumps, and the other folks who don't do so well, but are quite smart. *** addition *** the test mentioned by jefff said I got 156, seemed like a silly test to me.

The last time I remember was around 8th grade. I believe the number they told me was 144. Or maybe 141. It only means that you can take tests well. I am more likely to challenge someone who relies on attaching a big number to themselves to feel important. Marilyn Vos Savant can lick my left nut for all I care. People with lower IQs make more interesting sounds.

I had once taken a Wexler (sic) and was told the result was above average, though never got the number.

THis is too long!

Don't know. I'm not sure if people should know their own or others' IQ. It creates a self-fullfilling prophesy too often.

I dunno. None. Dunno. I dunno. No. No. Intelligence doesn't really matter that much, extremely smart people tend to be snobby.

now: 140 i guess. when i was 18: 170 Stanford-Binet. i dont know what they are supposed to mean though. and someone else's score wouldnt matter to me...i am not impressed with sharon stone, marylin vos-savant, or norman schwartzkopf, all of whom supposedly have genius I.Q.'s. i took the online one and got 168 too!

Not impressed if I know someone has a high IQ - but I do export more of them and am less tolerant of mistakes (even typos). OOPS, made my own typo, good thing I didn't give my IQ here!! Ok so, I really 'expect' more of them and I 'export' more FROM them!! Done too many conversions today!

i have no idea. they have some validity, but i don't think they are a measure of intelligence - just one facet of it. if someone tells me their iq is high, i assume that they are full of themselves, but in general, if the person is not a jerk, sure, i'm impressed. if their iq is low, i wouldn't make a big deal of it, i'll judge their intelligence on my own

130ish. IQ tests are a valid measure of someones ability to take IQ tests, which is something. Since I will never administer an IQ test to anyone, I don't bother judging them by their IQ.

My IQ is 166. I've taken exactly one IQ test so I've no idea just how accurate it is. Percentile-wise it's in the same range as other standardized tests I've taken (like SAT's, etc.) I think that people in general over-rate IQ. It's not intelligence; it's a particular type of problem solving.

I know I took one (standard with the rest of the aptitude testing for preschoolers in Sweden) but, like all the other results of those tests, I was not informed of the result. I sincerely doubt a paper test could accurately measure intelligence, though. I am not impressed by a high IQ -- I'd rather have more common sense in the world. :)

No idea, random Web one. No. no. no. no. I'll judge someon'es intelligence by how they act/react as I get to know them. If I don't know them, they are just a random human, which means that they are stupid until proven otherwise.

I took a Stanford-Binet once but I don't think they're valid or that it measured my intelligence accurately. I'm generally judgemental if someone brings up the topic.

I've been tested, but never told the results. I know they don't really measure intelligence, but I'd still probably be embarrassed to do much worse than my peers. (Ok, ok, I got 148 on the online one, but the phone rang and I just guessed on the last two questions.)

Don't know.

Blech, a jumbled question.

ElijahBlue: Oh, come now :) You must admit if you saw this survey appear now you'd take exception to how it is worded :) I seem to recall you didn't like much how my first survey was worded! In any case I took the test and got a 151 but I missed a question completely by accident ... my sister got 158, my boyfriend got 168. I think IQ measures pretty much a genetic mental reasoning ability, although various tests do this task well and poorly, depending on the test. Yes, I belong to Mensa and have fun with those people. But no, I could care less what a given person's IQ is - I love discussing things with people of *all* abilities, period.

I took the test jefff gave the address for and got 163. I've taken a few other online tests and the results have varied a lot (130-180). I think IQ tests have their place but agree that what they measure is only a small part of what makes someone able. *KenShingo: 155.2 is actually the average of those scores. The standard deviation would be the average number of points each individual score deviates from that average. In your case that would be about 12 or 13. *lisashea: blech, a stupid answer. * lisashea: I would *rip it to shreds* (no smiley face)

I don't know what it is & I don't think these test accurately measure a person's true intelligence.

In the 130s, not sure exactly where.
