How do IQ tests acutally work? I've seen people say like 128 but surely it would vary each time you took it? Surely after doing like 5 IQ tests you would perform much better than someone who is supposedly the same but who is has never taken an IQ test?
How many times can the mensa test be taken?

In theory, you would get the exact same score every time (within statistical error) because IQ is supposed to measure an inherent, biological quality of a person. It does not depend on how much you know, or how much experience you have.
In reality, it is impossible to construct a perfect IQ test, because a certain amount of knowledge will always be required (language, mathematics, etc.).

IQ test are very accurate at determining your IQ ( real test not the web toys ) and the number will vary somewhat each time you take one ( even the same one - the questions are not always identical )
to score better you could test over and over but except for the web test how would this happen ?
on the stanfort-binet i scored between 152 and 158 with 3 test over a 30 year period so how's that for accurate and consistant ( pre 1986 version which is still used ) - ( sorry had to look up the numbers )

I'd say online IQ tests are fairly inaccurate. I've taken 4 tests and the results ranged from 162-182. I think Albert Einstein's was 178 and there's no way I'm more intelligent than he was. You're probably right in that someone who has taken the test multiple times (like me) will score higher than someone who has never taken it - it's arguable that IQ tests only determine how well a person TAKES the test, and are not a measure of one's intelligence.

The very thought of "standardized exams" is what reasons the inevitable failure of certainly one of those finding out. you be attentive to that Albert Einstein replaced right into a C pupil, good? replaced into his brilliance observed by ability of his "mediocre" instructors? of direction no longer. you won't have the capacity to make a silk handbag from a sow's ear. those finding out techniques are in line with techniques that are doomed to failure from the onset. the only type of intelligence known is the presently commonplace and taught information. A standardized attempt as quickly as upon a time could've required you answer that the worldwide replaced into flat & that the image voltaic device revolves around the earth, and each type of nonsense this is in view that been shown fake. there is extremely no longer something standard while it is composed of genius, in spite of if or no longer this is imaginitive or mathematical genius. and you're truly properly suited & good on the mark; the argument approximately there being ANY fairness in any respect in standardized finding out has been ongoing for many, some years now - yet nonetheless college's administer them and students & families nonetheless be afflicted by them - while in many circumstances cultural changes on my own account for variances in how properly a pupil does on such exams. indexed under are some money owed of people who trust you,some over 10 yrs old & i'm specific in case you seek you will locate this to have been an ongoing confrontation for an prolonged time..
