Hey how do I figure out what my IQ is?

Question

no really Im sure i had an IQ test (but what? all the way back in elemetary school? yes.) I have no clue what it is I just assume its average. I dont really believe in it fully though I know that it cant measure whether Im going at doing this or that Right?

Any free IQ tests online that arent scams/ask for money/address/phone/personal info/way off and fake/you get the point
even if i do get a free one it means nothing if it isnt accurate so pls help out here if you can!

If not, then fully explain how IQ is used.

Thanks!

Answer 1

There are many different types of IQ test and, like so many things in life, you often get what you pay for. Some of the on-line tests are cool & interesting, but I doubt if they're very accurate. Most good school counseling centers can point you in the right direction for tests appropriate to your situation, and many psychologists offer testing for fees.
IQ tests attempt to reduce your overall intelligence to a single number, which I find rather amusing in a cynical kind of way. There are many aspects of intelligence that they do not (can not?) express digitally. But, that said, it has been shown that whatever their apparent shortcomings, they do seem to have a high correlation with success at school and work, at least within the Western cultural milieu.
For a really good take on the history, use and abuse of IQ tests, see Stephen J. Gould's "The Mismeasure of Man."
