I got 120, but is it really accurate, or are they just trying to sell you things, because i took another IQ test and scored 115, so im confused.

the score is an estimate of your IQ. so you'll be in between 115-120. which is pretty good. congrats! lol

No it's not accurate. Tickle breaks several psychometric rules.
The tickle test is not timed. This goes against pretty much everything psychometric testing stands for. An untimed test is automatically going to produce skewed results.
The question difficulty is not powered properly. Most of the questions are the exact same difficulty and tap into the same processes in order to give everyone a good score.
The norming is also skewed and very sketchy. The average score is 120, which immediately tells me the test is NOT standardized properly! Even given samples that are highly non random (i.e. mostly intelligent people taking the test), there is no way, given the size of the sample taking tickles test, that the average would be any higher than 110. The test is just all wrong.

It was designed by a psychologist, standardized and follows proper testing procedure. Taps into language, working memory, logic and perception.
Only problem with it being culture saturation...though, it is the most accurate test you'll find online.

Congratulations!
That is quite a good range. Definitely, your IQ is above average and you could go far in life through diligence and hard work. Why not try other tests?
There is no exact IQ score because your performance will always be affected by your mood, state of mind and other factors.
You might also try more difficult tests as these types of tests have a higher ceiling.

I believe the Tickle IQ test is pretty accurate. I've taken the Tickle test, as well as an IQ test, administered by a psychologist. The results were pretty much the same. Small differences in IQ scores can be explained by what is called a margin of error. Every IQ test has a margin of error of about 5%, meaning that your real IQ score may be lower or higher by 5%. As far as I can see, your scores are pretty close, so I wouldn't worry about it.

IQ test results vary based on the test so you should not feel happy or disappointed either way. Since the two are close to the same value, they are fine.
