whats your IQ?or how smart/ thick are you?

Answer 1

Wow, look at all the smart high IQ people answering this question, almost everyone is above average.

How come there are so many high Mensa member IQs kicking about on this site, are you here to answer the stupid questions of all the average people and enlighten us with your wondrous wisdom?................ or are most of you exaggerating your capabilities, take a real Mensa IQ test rather than the online ones, they are a far more accurate grading of your logical abilities

And its true that IQ is only one measure of intelligence, an IQ test doesn't measure your common sense or emotional intelligence, or any natural talents you may have, I know people who cant even spell grammar less use it, but they can strip down and rebuild a car engine, I cannot do that and it seems clever to me!!!

By the way, my IQ is a piddly 119 but I am crap with logical sequence, spatial awareness and I have serious difficulties with mathematics, my skills lie in language.

Answer 2

IQ= Mental age divided by actual age times 100
When I was 18 Mensa said i had an IQ of 142. This meant I had the mental age of someone about 26 to 27. Whatever that means. At my current age, assuming my mental age has not increased, My IQ is now about 90. I expect it to continue to drop and will be classed as a moron by the time I hit my mid 50s.
As for how smart/thick I am Durrel said:
"like all young men I set out to be a genius, but mercifully laughter intervened".
As time goes by I realize I am not as smart as I think I am. I think this means I am actually getting smarter.
When it comes to relationships I am a idiot.

Answer 3

i am studying psychology honours, my project is on the utility of a highly emotionally intelligent negotiator in dealing with the emotional information of their opponent

i will be finding out my emotional intelligence level with the MSCEIT in the coming months!

last year on a wk exp placement i did the WAIS III, a popular adult intelligence test, and got 144.

a fellow student administered it though and we actually did it without the test manual, so i'm thinking that might be inaccurate.

anyway, it's more ethical to report a range of scores rather than an exact number because there are always errors in testing. you're supposed to report a range of 15 points below or above, so for me my IQ ranges between roughly 130 and 160.

average IQ is meant to be 100, although the test has to periodically be made harder due to education levels increasing, so a couple of decades ago the current 100 would have been 120 then.

so that means i'm between 2 and 4 standard deviations above average IQ. this indicates i'm pretty smart.

personally, i'd stick with around 130, i don't feel like i'm gifted... which is the territory you start to get into at around 140.

i did the tickle one online and got 127... they gave me some special certificate and my full assessment for free cos they thought that was a high score!

as other answerers have said, it's not just IQ that matters, and we shouldn't objectify each other on the basis of this score. that's as bad as body objectification in young women and financial objectification in men.

we are wholistic beings, with intelligence contributing to four areas: the emotional, social, practical and academic.

the new craze in emotional intelligence testing is a sign that we're starting to cotton onto this idea of wholism.

IQ tests are generally aimed at assessing one's academic intelligence. afterall, they are generally used as part of an interview to assess kids at school. school is academic.

just because so many focus on this one quarter of you, doesn't mean the other three aren't important too.

i would say the other way round... whilst everyone is focussing on a quarter of the available pie, you have 3/4 left to explore, exploit and use to look original, authentic and fascinating to them!

not to mention our society's general ignorance of how to deal with emotions and the way their emotions are so deftly manipulated by the corporations that harvest our hard earnt money ... all because we were brought up to be very good academically but clueless, and hence defenceles, emotionally.

just an idea ;-)

just a question: what would you choose to do, given that success is the domain of the resilient?

Answer 4

I completed an IQ test when i was doing my PhD and scored 158. As for how smart I am, I have numerous patents on various instrumental spectroscopic advances and many electrochemical measuring components including a microelectrode for measuring Cd down to parts per trillion (PPT). I have over 40 publications and have written 4 books of different levels in the field of inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry. As for how thick I am, well according to statistics (ridiculous stats!) I would be classed as an alcoholic!?

However I do like 200cm thick (Muffin above),lol.

Answer 5

My average IQ when i was at university was 127. The highest test score was 138 and the lowest 117. I think now that my average has dropped because i`m lazy and not pushing my intellectual capacity.
Anyway, the average IQ in a population in 100. Those who say it`s higher are kidding themselves.

Answer 6

Once I got full marks in some huge hour long psychometric test I had to go on to be let onto a computer science degree. Apparently that was quite unusual.

Also I usually get only one or two wrong in those maths and logic tests you see on the internet that say they measure your IQ. Mine is 140 or something like that.

However, I fail to see what that has got to do with intelligence. It just means you can flip funny shapes around on their vertical axis in your mind or see that numbers in a sequence are increasing by half the amount each time or whatever. It's more like low-level data manipulation in my opinion.

Most people I meet seem to be more intelligent in terms of being able to get through life. I just seem to lurch along.

Answer 7

Intelligence is very hard to measure. The IQ test doesn't test your ability to remember and recall facts, whch is surely related to intelligence. You could have a high IQ but be really bad at meeting new people, which is one of the most complex activities your brain can perform. Different people are intelligent in different ways.

Answer 8

IQ is hardly an accurate determinant of smartness. A holistic approach encompassing attitude, capacity, talent, aptitude, willingness to learn and hard work, ultimately establish how samrt you are. I'm Smart. Very Smart.

Answer 9

Apparently 159. Honest. but I'm thick as sh*t when it comes to practical stuff. I think they should re-define IQ and take in things that actually matter. I'd then be about 42

Answer 10

I did a test with 'Tickle' online and got 140. My problem is though, that I am interested in so many different things that I have trouble sticking with one thing long enough to be really skilled in one area. So, it's not my IQ, but my lack of decision that lets me down.
