Online ones, no. But if you are given the WISC or the Woodcock-Johnson IQ tests then they are fairly accurate. You want to get a verbal score and a performance score and then the full scale IQ score.
Now if English is not the first language, the test results may be skewed as well.

first, it depends on the age of the test taker, the younger the better, so they are not so influenced by the education standards and societal influences....after about the age of 15 most iq tests are pretty inaccurate...all they depict is the education, not the intelligence...IQ stands for intelligence quotient, the relation of intelligence to the age of the child...however, even at a young age IQ tests are shown to be culturally biased, generally towards minorities...however they are still helpful in evaluating the potential academic success of a child, but by no means are they entirely predictive of a childs achievement

I believe IQ trests are accurate because I have taken several of them and always have similar scores.

Can they really judge ho smart we are by a few questions? I don't think so. It is a cool concept but I doubt it works well enough to actually judge your IQ on it.
