148, certainly not bad. Not sure how much I trust the results though.

This is just another ego-massaging thread, but it would be interesting to see TSR's spread of scores compared to the general population.

I got 133 which I'm pretty chuffed about, although it's probably not accurate as it was a 20 question online test...

Everyone on here is claiming to be of Mensan intelligence who constitute 2% of the world's populace. They take a standardized test, these amateur websites do not have the seal of approval from the upper establishment. If you were intelligent enough, you would know the illegitimate scale of measure on this website discredits the scoring system

Iq in this country is declining, so say the researchers.

What a shitty article. How have these people 'failed' at life? They've probably met their own set of goals by doing their respective professions and have a greater sense of accomplishment than most people ever will.

Once Steven Hawking was asked what his IQ was, you know what he said? "I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers", although I did get a 149 on that test so maybe i wont go with Hawking on this one... (Jk i know these online tests are complete nonsense)

I did one I was 15 and got 132. It's a kinda stupid metric though since intelligence isn't one firm metric.

Wow smart

Official Mensa tested IQ is 135.

At the moment I only suspect that I have a very low IQ. I'm not going to take some test to have that suspicion confirmed. I'd prefer to retain the small possibility that I could be wrong.

On that test, I got 141. That qualifies me for MENSA.

There are different tests with different ranges. Needs to be converted to a percentile in order to reliably compare scores between tests.

The scores are equivalent to percentiles. They can be compared in the same way as percentiles. This isn't a reason why they can't be compared well but there are reasons eg. difference in types of questions.
