I scored 70 on an IQ test.I don't think IQ tests are fair,they seem very much based on Math(which is my worst subject,I always fail math) and so I always score poorly.But I'm good at other subjects such as History,Geography,and English.But now everyone is making fun of me saying I'm stupid,am I?

In response to the person who called me a fraud:I guessed ALL of the answers as I didn't understand ANY of it.It was mainly made up of shapes and patterns and I really didn't understand it at all.

If you managed to take an IQ test, you probably aren't that thick. Try again and this time pay attention.

Most people with an IQ of 70 wouldn't even be able to pose the question, let alone find a place to get answers (or at least opinions). I'd suggest finding a place to take another test, as I have a feeling something was wrong with how yours was scored. Your grammar is certainly better than what I'd expect of a person whose IQ is only 70!

IQ tests scores are sometimes a ranking method to see how you compare to others. Somewhat like a percentile score. A score of 70 ranks you in the lower part of this range. According to the article cited below, you rank in the second percentile, this simply means that out of 100 people who take this test 2 people score worse than you and 98 of 100 score better. Stupid- NO, low achieving-YES

Less than 70 is considered mentally handicapped.
However IQ tests can be off in either direction.
Frankly, I think you are a fraud. Most people with an IQ of 70 would not type or spell this well, unless you had help.

If you look at the history of IQ testing you will see it started as a pathetic joke. People liked the concept though and have tried for years to patch it up and make something legitimate of it. They have failed.

The irony of an IQ test is that it doesn't really measure a persons intelligence.
You are aware of your weaknesses and therefore are much smarter than many of the students I teach.
Don't worry about what other people say.

Where'd you do an IQ test? Online? At school? You have to go to a special psychologist to get an IQ test. They measure your reflexes, blood pressure, your daily activities, an intellect test, etc.

70 on an IQ test would be someone with barely any ability to think or reason whatsoever. I doubt you are stupid. Those tests test a certain kind of smarts. There are all kinds of smarts in this world.

No, you're not stupid.
Everyone is good and not good at different subjects. That's because everyone is different.
You don't need to pay attention to those people. Just make sure you're always next to your friends, your friends might help you improve your math scores. =)

NO you are not. IQ tests can be very gender, race, and culture specific. Intelligence and "book smart" are two completely different concepts.
While you may need to be intelligence to become "book smart" if you aren't book smart doesn't mean you aren't intelligent.
Intelligence is the capability to learn....not what you have learned.
