Have you ever taken an IQ test?

Question

No - that's probably not my IQ - but, you never know....

Answer 1

Yes. And it's up there.

But my teacher in eighth grade told my class that IQ doesn't measure what your head holds. Rather, it measures what your head *can* hold. If you have a 64-ounce cup and have filled it only a quarter of the way, and your friend has a 32-ounce cup that's all filled up, who's got more soda, and who's made better use of their "cup"?

So, she said, you should focus not on the measurement of the cup, but on filling it, with the right stuff.

Answer 2

I made a 154 on the test I took by force by the Clarksville Arkansas police department. I had stold a couple of cars an broke in to a school and did a lot of other pranks. I was 15 years old. They told me they needed to find out what makes me tick so I spent three days being tested. I even defended myself in court and only got one year on probation. I guess that impressed them why someone so smart would do the things I did. Well I did them because I had nothing better to do. It was fun playing with the police force being they was too stupid to really get anything on me. I have not done anything like that in over 30 years now but I have done ok in life. I don't even have a GED and have control over 11 million dollars a year in cost of production of someone elses money.

So what is your IQ. And how many years of school did you do to get at that level?

Answer 3

I took one in 3rd grade, so as far as I know, my IQ is 135 or thereabouts.

I read somewhere that a higher IQ is not necessarily better though. Some psychologists claim that the optimal IQ for functioning and social interation is between 125 and 155.

Answer 4

Actually, yeah a couple times. It was in the 170s both times. But don't read too much into that. I may be "IQ Smart" but I have the common sense of a doorknob, lol!

Answer 5

My viewpoint about the IQ test is a bunch of geeks who want to say to the men who are attractive in Universities, are successful, have good jobs, have beautiful wives is so you may be more successful, have a better job, have a good looking wife and be better looking but see my IQ test says I am smarter like my exhusband who has a pHD but could not get a woman until I spent months teaching him how to walk, talk, dress, cut his hair got rid of his acne, taught him how to eat a better diet such that other women began flirting with him (which is like trying to make love to my work because when I left he went back to looking like a geek not just acting like a jerk). An IQ test from what I have seen cannot determine a great many things that are important to success such as sanity, the capability to function productively in society, ones capability to learn, ones sense of humanity and compassion, ones aptitude, attitude, and coordination amongst many other things. For an aptitude academic knowledge capability test I am much more for the ASVAP adminstered by the military which classes people in percentiles as to how they score in the overall population to whom the test is admistered to. Of which I score in the top 5 percent whereas I score as a genius on an IQ test which I do not believe much in as anything other than a test made for Mensa Densa geeks and such. I also think that the SAT is a better indicator as to college success or capability for readiness for entering college than any IQ test.
On the day that anyone tells me some test determines intelligence is the day we ignore the potential to continue to learn.
My niece was called a border line mentally handicapped person of 70 who was barely able to dress herself when she had been shopping for her own clothing for years simply because she could not read and write by the school district because she had hearing and vision eye muscle problems at an early age. She is speech and language delayed. So we all worked very hard last year and they put her in the lower level classes to encourage success at the middle School this year. All of a sudden the school went OMG Kyla can read and write. It just shows how stupid the school system is and Sylvan who could not teach her whereas I did with some money and effort by using the latest techniques taught in the educational systems such as USF who keep up with currently educational methodologies that are successful that this region and Sylvan have not employed yet to the tune of lots of government and personal money being spent on archaic methods that did not work when I was a child except for the ACADEMICALLY encouraged at home or gifted.

And President Bush has never taken an IQ test to the best of my knowledge but he obviously can dress himself. Not that he is my favorite person the man in Godzillas outfit who can stand to run around in that outfit when my NBC outfit almost made me pass out impresses me a great deal.

Answer 6

Yes, and an EQ test as well. I score 156 in my IQ test but very low in EQ. Apparently, I am an insensitive pig. LOL.

Answer 9
