The formulas they use to rate your IQ are not the same as the simple percentage or bell curve that is used to grade an essay, it incorporates things like how long it took you to take the test, how many questions you got right, and which questions you got right, allowing for age and knowledge of the test taker as well. I'm not saying it is the most accurate measurement, but it could be reasonably close.

Also, i was raised using mettric units.. Shouldn't the question on imperial measurements have been metric for me? (i believe you americans use imperial more than we do..)
I took one online at soe site or other that was government approved (or so it said) and one of the questions involved shapes and their positions, and asked which two were exact opposites. The way they thought, there was one answer, and it was there. The way I think (dont even go into it, it'd be like Lord of the Rings or Encyclopedia Britannica by the time I explained it) showed different, there was no answer, I sent them an email and explained my methodology for working it out (which was much better than theirs (or so all my friends and the people I told it to said)) and they said something along the lines of "oh.. uhmm.. we never thought of it that way.. your way is wrong.. because your way isnt our way..".
Just goes to show, there is more than one way of thinking, and even someone who gets an IQ of 53 on a government approved test can be a genius too, all they have to do is write their own IQ test, and watch all the scientists and people that dont think like them get the IQ of 53, while all the other people who do think like them get scores upwards of 160.

UT 0wnz j00 all!
I remember when I was a kid and there were special class for the smarter kids...it always made me feel stupid to not be in classes with those kids...and I do test well now but I didn't then -go figure.
This is what I think. Testing for IQ is wrong because it gives you and "us" and "them" perspective. Why can't we all just get along.
LOL

One thing that most IQ tests don't take into account is social intelligence, some people are very social people and work well with others while being complete failures at verbal mathematical or spatial aspects of intelligence. And being able to reason a problem on paper is much easier than having to make a life decision, so I think IQ tests should measure how a person deals with a life situation and being with people before passing judgement.
What I do is remember that it is just a test, and not something to live my life by. I've done my share of stupid things despite being rather bright compared to most of the people I know, and I am still somewhat of a social misfit, so others may have one up on me even though I can beat them every time at math, english or spatial reasoning, and know more than they do about almost every scientific subject.
The real test of intelligence is knowing how to excell at what you put your hand or your mind to. Einstien and Beethoven were both geniuses in their own rights, though each were failures in some ways as well. Diversity is one of the few great things about sexual reproduction instead of asexual reproduction (aside from orgasms). At least we aren't all clones of the first human.

thats a good one too
I think intelligence is learned...the more you know the more intelligent you are. Plus the types of intelligence varies from person to person- someone could be more spatial or math oriented whereas someone like me is more verbal oriented...y'know?

It is very hard to find a fair test for all people. The Brit Army one, I've taken said 158 but iqtest.com gave me a paltry 130
Doh Chrissy, beat me to the point

I just never liked that "us" and "them" mentality...teaches kids to discriminate against their peers...

Supposedly you IQ doesn't change over your life (unless you sniff paint thinner or perform DIY brain surgery or something..)
when i was in elementary school my IQ was just enough to get into GATE (which means it was like 130-135) tested by the real dudes.
so i know for a fact that it hasn't gone up 20 points since then. that test is pretty whack. it's all good though, just take your iqtest.com score and remove 20 points!
