So, I searched "Intelligence Test", and the first few pages, but to no avail, so, I think this deserves a new topic:

What is your I.Q?

My most recent score is 111. I was proud. Damn proud biggrin.gif

What does the 'q' in 'I.Q.' stand for? blink.gif Also, what test did you take to get that score? It would kind of be.. helpful.

Played along with a two-hour version the BBC showed a few nights ago.

It stands for "Intelligence Quiz"


...

Ah, I see your point. But if it didn't come up with the word intelligence, then it surely wouldn't come up just because I strung some other word along.

doesn't IQ stand for intelligence quotient...cuz it wouldn't make sense to say, "hey what's your intelligence quiz"

You know what, I really don't care :D. BBC didn;t go into detail about it, I got 111, and I still don't see anybody telling us what their score is.

It stands for "intelligence quotient", and it is the result of dividing two figures; hence the term "quotient".

I don't know any links to tests. I'm asking what your IQ is, not telling you to take a test.

Wouldn't you have to take one to actually know what your IQ is

And again, everyone else had to take one to know their IQ too. Duh.

Well I'm asking the people who do know what their score is, and somehow nobody has posted their's yet. It's as if it's difficult.

Yes, but we need the same IQ test in order to get a more standard/fair test. mellow.gif The BBC test isn't going to be the same as an online quiz someone else took. I'm pretty sure there's already a thread on this, though.. *searching*

Edit: I could've sworn there was one. Oh well. shrug.gif

Yeah, I've searched the terms "IQ", "Intelligence Test", and, "Intelligence Quiz", but, quite frankly, got nothin'. Must be an old thread, and old threads aren't supposed to be brought back.

Well...apparently we were unknowingly given IQ tests in elementary school, because that's how you get into the gifted program so according to that, I would have to have at least a 130, because that's what's required.

I thought it was at least a 140..
Or at least that's what it is for NYC.

Well, my language arts teacher last year (who told us that) could have been wrong, but I doubt it. I'm pretty sure it's not a nationally consistant thing, anyway.

And Georgia's not exactly known for its high standards.

I've never taken one, but I'm guessing I have an IQ of around 130.


According to the IQ tests, my fiance is a genius. /proud

I guess its 130, since I passed the test and got into the gifted program, but that was a long long long time ago, and I haven't taken the test since.

Oh, I got into gifted in first grade. I think I may have taken some irrelevant internet tests since then, but I wasn't sure how my score measured up to anything at that point.

I tried taking that Know your planet test at that http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation/

Its actually kind of hard. Somewhat, I couldn't finish it there was to many questions.

I don't really know what mine is. I remember taking a 5 question i.q. test and I got all of them right. I took another one but I don't remember the results.

The Internet quizes are supposedly unreliable.

Yeah, they didn't seem like they would be.

The BBC one isn't working for me on firefox or IE.
