IQ test

Are there any real and legitimate free IQ tests out there? I am curious to know what my IQ is.
.08 is the legal limit here. :laugh:
OMG what's the BFD?

Not really. The 'best' free tests have a +-15point error range. As of a few years ago there was a site selling stuff of some sort playing off of peoples intelligence that consistently gave people 15 or 20 points higher than anywhere elses tests.

You know that's where the world is headed. Certainly, you've seen the movie Idiocracy? :-D

That's it, I am getting thicker. From a peak of 156 I had reduced to 146. Thats 10 points! I will be an absolute moron by the time I am 50! Mrs wife got 126 which I said "Not too bad a score my dear!" then ducked as a shoe came hurtling my way. Really, I know it was patronising, but isn't she clever for recognizing it. I think I will not do this any more, it could get depressing :)

Isn't there something about alcohol consumption negatively affecting brain cells?

No, there is not, booze killing brain cells is a fallacy.

You should drink to that.

That would make it dodgy on both counts!

Your quite right. From gathered data, the only thing we can conclude is that heavy drinking kills your IQ, but not your brain cells since there's no empirical data in this thread to support such a claim.

That's not entirely true, Dave. Ethanol is known to attack only the weakest, slowest brain cells, much like cheetahs hunting wildebeasts. Similarly, this culling tends to strengthen the whole organ.

Where did you get your IQ taken? Was it an in-person test, or was it some online test?

Asshole. But a funny asshole at least :laugh: Sweet, looks like CodeProject filters out explitives. Fucking cool! Hmm, it also seems to lowercase them... maybe I'll report that as a bug.

Embarrisingly, I used to be a member of Mensa where, obviously, they often discussed IQ tests. The low-down is this: during your whole life your IQ doesn't drop post 18 by more than a few points (much less than 10). what does differ is your performance at any given time, if you are tested again under more favourable circumstances your IQ will be closer to your true score. The upshot is your measured IQ is always less than your true IQ and is heavily influenced by your mood/ enviroment at the time of testing.Your IQ is normally within 2ish points of the maximum score you get in your adult life, unless something degenerative happens to the brain, E.g. Dementia or trauma. Also there are different tests with non-equivalent scores, but all set the average at 100

So my 129 might actualy be a 114? No wonder TV seems funnier these days.

Thanks for that tip. I get a similar feeling when I speak to anyone in a call centre. (Actually, an honourable mention for a lad at O2 Mobile broadband today who took my details and said rather than waste my time he would call me back...which he did and had solved my problem, emailed me the details and said to give him 10 mins to push it through the system. But this is an exception.)
