OK. Click on the link, and then go to start Test. They give you 15 minutes, and 30 questions. It's not too difficult. I promise. Was amusing really.
NO tinkering with your score neither! Be honest!
I scored Average.*shrug* But I'm a ...well... what my family keeps calling a student 4 life.
Your age adjusted IQ score is 103 and the average score for all test takers is 100. You scored higher than 57 % of all the people that took this test.
Your Grade ** Higher Average **
Well done! Your performance on the test was above the population average which means that you have the ability to achieve success in life. Whatever you decide to do you have a powerfull mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a wide variety of ways. You are able to think critically and communicate very effectively and you also have the ability to handle most academic challenges. If you think of intelligence as the ability to adapt easily to new situations then you are heading in the right direction.
My highest score was in General knowledge.
My lowest score was in short term memory (see i don't lie i have the attention span of a goldfish)
Everything else was average.
C'mon... it's all good fun. Besides.. it also said if i can improve my short term mem, my general knowledge would be better too.
Good for all you other students out there. gives study tips too.

Timer ran out on me with three questions left. 116.
Keep in mind that 1.) I normally score higher than this, mainly because 2.) I took this at 7:30 AM having not slept for 24 hours.
My results.

Tried it, won't bother posting score, because I've taken real IQ tests and none of them post me at this level.
To be honest, these online IQ tests are mostly worthless.

This might seem like me-tooing, but that test is bullshit.
I got a FAR lower result doing that, than I got doing a bloody official standardized test...

Again, online IQ tests are meaningless, nevermind that they can be cheated more easily then a game, but they also have to serve themselves, so they bump up scores to make you intrested in trying out their other features.
Also, compare a real multi-hour IQ test that breaks down information per subject, to this parody, a 15 minute quickie.
This dosn't test IQ, this tests stuff AS IF it was an IQ test. It has as much relation to my intelligence quotient, or as it is used today, potential, as my morning breakfest contents.

In other words, the smartest individual so far has been the one who realized how boring and stupid it was after, oh I don't know, say five questions?

Eh. Not as well as I've done in the past on that; but regardless, I agree with ace: it's shit. The last time I took that, I think I got 145; this time, it's 135. No way in hell that thing's consistent. Other IQ tests online, I've gotten anywhere between 130 and 160, which really strains their credibility.

Funny, because I took an online IQ test once in which the sooner you stopped the IQ test, the higher your IQ was. Your premise was the basis for their whole test ~L~

I refused to take my IQ test, even at a young age. I think those tests are designed to put you in a box. "Oh he is smart" "Oh she is average" "Oh he is a dumbass" But in truth, there is more to intelligence than a test score. There are also different kinds of intelligence.
I also refused to take my ACT or SAT scores.
I was always in the "smart" group at school. But they would compare their scores and swing them around like dicks to be compared. Additionally, they would begin to subconsciously respond to whatever result the score was by how they treated the person. It was not intentional. It was subtle, and I dont think they even noticed it. I hate that. One of the "dumbest" kids I knew in school was someone I loved hanging around with because he could see things in constructed fashion in ways I could not. Like how to make a building. Or wire or plumb. Or he would say something profound when my friends would debate over something that they had overlooked because they were too busy looking in the stratosphere for explanations, instead of looking right here on earth in front of their faces.
