IQ tests are pretty fake. IQ is simply an abstract concept, and much like the SATs, IQ tests generally measure your test taking ability rather then your "IQ". If you disagree, just ask Chromus.

Your results have been tabulated, and your IQ is...

8

go me!

When I did that however long ago, I got 122.
Maybe I should take it again...

Not all tests are 'fake', Pezzay... your IQ _is_, after all, relative to other peoples, so any test with non-<topic>-specific questions should serve as one. You just need a _lot_ of people to do it to get the curve. And 3½ million people have taken that test...

Of course, the curve can be skewed by people not doing it properly, such as Cheweh may have done...

I preferred the 'old' IQ test, anyway :/ That was fun.

Incidentally, haven't we had a thread along these lines before...?

Yes. You started a thread a long time ago for a different IQ test.

I stand corrected. Sorry, I assumed you did it because you're usually making random posts.

I haven't been random in too long...
I can't think of anything...

Well, I took the test, and my score was 142. The questions seemed balanced, though it probably would be more accurate with more questions. As both Pez and DT mentioned, this isn't my IQ because human intelligence can't be measured with just a number. What this is, however, is a number that allows me to compare myself with others who have taken the test, where 100 is the average score anyone will get.

I still think it's broken.

Naw, no way it's broken. If a test has been taken by that many people, it's bound to be accurate.

And who's to say yer not smart? Remember Milly?

*shot* Ee..
