this guy that I've been "dating" sent me an email containing an IQ test. He asked me to please to take my time on the test, not to ask anyone for help, and to provide him with my score. WTF? I responded to his email in a "nicety" manner (that's nice nasty").
F.Y.I :I've taken the real MENSA administered IQ test and I scored 127, but I'm not about to tell him that. The national average is 100 and 115 for college graduates. I have a degree and I speak three languages. Besides, IQ is based upon genetics and socialization, hence it's relative.

Classic IQ Test

If I were in your situation, I think I might be offended so I can see where you're coming from. However, most guys are a bit dumb and don't think about what they say. Maybe he was curious because someone sent it to him and he took it also. I wouldn't take it too seriously, unless you think he might be superficial, then maybe you should talk to him about it.

I don't know that I'd be particularly offended but I would ask for the results of HIS test and then tell him, in a "nicety" manner, to find a less obtrusive way to ascertain a person's intelligence level, perhaps by simply engaging them in thoughtful conversation? If he doesn't have the time for that then he doens't have the time for a relationship. Enough said.

Your IQ is YOUR business. He has no right to expect you to take an IQ test he sends you. Don't take it. Don't bring it up, and ignore his email requests for you to take it. If he doesn't drop it, I would tell him "I have a degree and speak 3 languages, if that doesn't tell you something about me, then maybe we need to stop seeing each other."

Classic. I think people would only feel offended if they personally feel they wont score that well. but people that are confident in their test taking's will take the test. the fact that he still wants you to take it, sending it to you through an email is rather odd....but its just a test. Make Him Take The Test First!

Yes, I would be offended.
When I was single and dating one of the things that nearly every guy asked me to do (and usually on the first date) was to take off my glasses. They wanted to see what my face really looked like without my glasses. This offended me and the date would end with me not ever wanting to go out with the guy again.
When I met my future husband I noticed that after several dates he still had not asked me to remove my glasses. I can honestly tell you that that is the main reason I kept dating him...I was curious! Anyway, we met in 1989, married in 1990 and are still together today. He has yet to ask me to remove my glasses.
What this all means is that I never wanted a guy to love me for my face, my body or my mind. I wanted him to love me for just being me...the wholeness of me...the all of me that he met and asked out on that first date.
I refuse to be someones litmus test!!!

Maybe the guy thinks that you're too perfect and needs some way to make himself feel superior. Let's face it, some guys have a superiority complex and need to feel like they're "the man". Perhaps if you gave him a score that was lower than his, he (in his self-conscious mind) would think, "okay, she's not better than me at everything!"

I would take that as a compliment, it's obvious that you're intelligent and he probably wants to measure it. If you were Michael Jordan, would you be offended if someone asked you to go shoot a 3 pointer? You might really put him off if you react harshly to it.

you shouldn't necessarily be offended if he sent you an IQ test. if during the course of your courtship, he gives you reason to test your intelligence then be offended.

i would not at all be offended, just a little humored. my friends send me stupid stuff like that all the time, its nothing to get hyped about, just tell him how you feel about it, he'll understand, and if it REALLY bothers you, ask him why he did that and not to do anything like it again.
***PS***
i totaly agree with texas girl, she is absolutely correct.
