what is your IQ??


Mine was a mere 136 points
Have fun with this and show off you brain power!!

Stephanie

THAT IS GREAT!!!
though I dont know if this site has the "offical" test but 131 on a stanard IQ is awesome.

Stephanie
I think I was bragging again when I put this up. I think I should stop that if I want to be "cute"
BTW Albert Einstein got a 139 on the stanard American test in english probably like 160+ in german.

I got a 127 on this test. While it is good I belive it is a little low.

I guess I should add that my brother got a IQ of 126. That may make a few of you feel better. bragging again

Stephanie

Ok Stephanie, I got 135 on my IQ on this one, and it said I was an "insightful linguist" and ranked me with Charles Dickens. Either I've lost IQ as I've gotten older, or this test scores differently to the others I've taken (probably the former ) years and years ago. Interesting anyway.

Wow nice score
I dont know if this test was an offical test like I said but I know that on the IQ I took in grade 6 was age sensable and I got higher on also.

Stephanie
BTW after the age of thirty you IQ starts going down but I dont think that this matters that much here because we are all 21

Hi Stephanie. All 21 here, eh. Your sweet ! BTW, cool avatar you have there.

With reference to the decrease in IQ after 30, it apparently begins as soon as the early 20s when people leave whatever learning situation they are in. I'm going to generalize a bit, a distillation of what I have read as I became concerned about my elderly mother's problems. Decline is a little later in people who challenge themselves with college and advanced degrees, and much slower in people who are researchers or newspaper reporters, and top executives!. The key seems to be that people who stay active, and mentally challenge themselves in learning situations, don't really show much of a decline until their 60s, and then it may be more health related and due to changes in the brain from decreased hormonal influences. People who have greater life spans (which can be genetics and luck), usually are also more menally agile. But then we are faced with the Chicken or the Egg question: Do people who maintain their IQ abilities with these careers and continued education do so because they have higher IQs, or do the activities help maintain their IQs ( which I prefer to think of as a youthful mind)? One study in retirement homes in Florida found that challenging the elderly with things like crosswords and other puzzles actually improved their mental attitudes and abilities.

On the other hand, people who become drug or alcohol addicted, have dead end jobs they hate, but can't quit due to having a family they thought they were supposed to have, and people who just get focused on their work in a narrow speciality, lose much of the broad based knowledge that some of the IQ tests use as questions. Then there are some questions on the tests like spatial relationships, math, and verbal skills that are somewhat cultural and gender linked, at least the way we stereotype gender (ie. girls not as good in math as guys, etc.) which is largely incorrect, except as self-fulfilling prophecies. Male math teachers often do not work as much with girls as boys to be sure the concepts are grasped, simply because they don't expect the girls to be good in math, for example. The same is true for girls vs boys in English, literature, and composition, with the teachers not expecting as much from the boys as the girls. Weird, huh!

There are other variables, like people with visual handicaps that don't see words correctly and can't take written exams, and others who just develop test taking anxiety. I have had friends who were classed low in IQ because of these problems, but one is a millionaire rancher (by his own efforts) and the other teaches (with a Phd) kids with similar problems.

Anyway, you seem interested in this sort of thing, so thought I would share. Keep learning!

Well, the old girl got a 122 and was told my Intellectual Type is a Word Warrior. I must have messed up some place really bad or got really lucky not sure which.

WOW Carolynn you must have done alot of research.
I knew the that it on mental activity but generally after the age of 30 people are out of college and trying to make it on their which is hard to do in this world and most first jobs are the dead end type but thanks for the research. Okay okay that is a sterotype but I think that it is mainly true. I didnt know those facts before.

Stephanie

Lot of smart people around here.

I got 130, although I had to guess few answers. There were couple of weird words for someone who's mother language isn't english. But still, I'm happy with that result...I think.

But 136! You're pretty intelligent, Stephanie.

Well I am sure that you are alot more intelligent than I am, since it wasnt in your mother language.

What is your mother language BTW??

Stepanie

I think that's a bad excuse from my part. My english is good enough, I think, and there were only few words that I didn't completely understand. And I couldn't find my dictionary...it's always missing.

So according to this test, you darling, are the smartest one here.

but do such test really define how smart a person is? My best friend in HS had an IQ that was off the charts, had a photografic memory. He was a member of MENSA (I think that is what it's called) and ended up with three different DR degrees. He was one of the dumest guys I ever knew. He died from his injuries from a car accident he was in while high on drugs.

Of course these tests don't mean anything. They only show how good you are in this particular test, nothing more.

But these things can be fun!

Yes anything that can stimulate the old gray matter can be fun and as they are now telling us in various reports good for our long term health. After some 36 years it was fun to take a test that I did not have to.
