Post by: Ghostavo on April 09, 2004, 06:19:13 pm: And since when does IQ has a limit?
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Gank on April 09, 2004, 06:40:26 pm: IQ goes from 0-200, if the max score is 20 it aint an IQ quiz.
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Rictor on April 09, 2004, 06:43:24 pm: Actually, IQ ranges from 0-133, which is incidentally what I scored the last time I took one of these Internet IQ tests. Funny how that works, eh?
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Ghostavo on April 09, 2004, 06:45:14 pm: No, IQ doesn't have ranges... except minimum which is... having the inteligence of a rock.

I guess I'm not very clever since I only got 13
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Ghostavo on April 09, 2004, 07:34:14 pm: The younger the better actually... IQ tests seem to "boost" the results in younger people due to their nature (both the tests, and those people).
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Bobboau on April 09, 2004, 07:45:03 pm: 14, I think I could do better though, I didn't figure out what it was trying to test for untill half way through, it says I'm smart though :)

missed 9, 11, 14, 15,17,19 (crap, I see it, stupid little detail)

Post by: Corsair on April 09, 2004, 08:34:48 pm: I took a real IQ test and got a 165 :D
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Tiara on April 09, 2004, 08:48:45 pm: 18 out of 20, but whoever believes in internet based IQ tests has an automatic deduction from his/her IQ of 50. :p
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: ChronoReverse on April 09, 2004, 08:57:04 pm: Hmmmm, 85 - 50 = 35

!!!!

That leaves me lower than a vegetable =O

Normally, it is never set above 210. However, highest possible scores to date should lie in the interval 210-220 with decreasing probability

Now see this (http://hem.bredband.net/b153434/Index.htm#TableII). :rolleyes:

And by the way, if you were going to limit the IQ you would be going to limit the max "inteligence" possible, meaning you knew what the max "inteligence" possible is... is there something as max inteligence? :rolleyes:
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Gank on April 09, 2004, 10:51:33 pm: The limit to the IQ scale is the limit it can be reliably tested at.

And your own IQ cant be that great if you think linking to a page where somebody makes guess's at other peoples IQ supports what you're saying. :rolleyes:

got 26 on the mensa one, other one doesnt load right
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: mikhael on April 09, 2004, 11:09:22 pm: I rocked out on the Mensa one: 28.

I didn't do so well on the other one. It was... odd. I got a 16/20.

You would have aced The Spark test. It's the same three pages of test over and over again - it marks you higher, the quicker you close the page. :D

Funny, the first thing I do for any test is to look through it first. If I noticed it was the same three pages over and over, I'd complain immediately.

Post by: diamondgeezer on April 10, 2004, 04:04:42 am: I got a measly 11. Thing about these tests is I get all the pictoral ones right, but anything with numbers in it just ****e me over :(

Either that or I've gone through a process of dumbening since leaving school, where I tested at about 140ish

Why? Is it a matter wheter the thing you need to solve is in HTML format or on a paper?
Doesn't make difference for me. I liked this test. A pity, there won't be any updates. :sigh:
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Ghostavo on April 10, 2004, 06:26:43 pm: An IQ test has over 80 questions and most of these "internet based IQ tests" have about 20-30...
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: TopAce on April 10, 2004, 06:30:02 pm: But all of them makes you think. . .
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: karajorma on April 10, 2004, 06:37:40 pm: But they aren't an accurate assessment of your reasoning skills.

Let me put it this way. Would you trust a driving test that consisted of just a reverse park? Of course not. You need a lot more things tested. It's the same with any 20 question IQ test.
Title: IQ quiz
Post by: Ghostavo on April 10, 2004, 06:39:05 pm: But...

1 - Not all of them are relevant to the IQ of the person in question but to the knowledge he/she has.

2 - The fewer questions, the more imprecise the "IQ" is.

...

Post by: Solatar on April 10, 2004, 08:39:08 pm: I never understood how somebody couldn't get a max score...if you get all the questions right, you can a max score, right?

They never issued IQ tests to us, thus I don't know how they are graded. I thought they were just multiple choice though.

Post by: Lightspeed on April 11, 2004, 08:39:24 pm: 18/20.

But the things i got 'wrong' are really odd :P

Lol. Let's just stop arguing, cause that's most likely the pinnacle of pointlessness in this thread :p
