you were actually tested?  I don't know anyone whose ever been through it.  There's plenty of self-tests online, but they're not really accurate or anything.

When I was really young I was tested ... 125-130's just my guess.

On some nationwide televised IQ quiz show last year I scored 106... so I will say my IQ would be somewhere in the 100-120 mark

I've never done an IQ test before. I'm probably in the 110 to 130 mark.  :)

I picked up one of the test forms from MENSA years ago but never completed the test against the clock as you are supposed to.  I always scored well in the tests Reader's Digest used to publish and do well on the televised tests.  I think it's just because I understand the style of those tests.  My hubby really struggles with some of them but I'm sure he's a bit more intelligent than I am.

I would say that, at a guess, my IQ is in the 125-130.

I did the self test on a nationwide TV show, it's been on twice and each time I scored the same mark (139).
I find these tests pretty easy but I can't say this ability to get a good mark in IQ tests has done me a great deal of good in my career!

I had to take a bunch of tests about 18 months ago and the results were excellent. I scored 148 on the I.Q test but i doubt i am really that smart. I did however score in the top 1% of students in the country in something called a C.A.T Cognative Ability Test. I scored like 998 out of 1000 or something. It was multiple choice.. so i don't know how everybody didn't managed to get exceptionally high scores. Must be thick as pig muck.

You heard the lady, Luke...!!

I've absolutely no idea in what area I fall into...I was above-average as a kid, but I'll assume a lot of that has been eroded with age...!!

Anyway, that's my excuse...!!

I took one about 12 years or so ago. I think I scored about 120 (give or take). The thing was, when I took the test, I was running 102 fever and I really should have been in bed instead of taking that stupid test. I just wander how I would have scored if I wasn't sick. Of course I couldn't have been TOO intellegent for not taking care of myself when I was sick.  :-[

I'm not exactly sure what mine is, but I've always believed it to be at least 100.

I think you're asking about my vote.  I cast the first vote after yours, last night.  Anyhoo....

Last I knew, which was several years ago, I was supposedly somewhere around 160.  It's been a very long time since I was tested, officially, but that's about what I tested on the Mensa practice tests, a few years back, too.  (Count me among those who once thought about joining and then decided I wasn't really interested.)  

I know that my results can vary considerably depending on the test.   I'm weak on those spatial relationship problems that require mental box or paper folding, always have been, (which is weird because I can design whole houses in my mind... apparantly, I just suck at origami)  so I tended to test  20+ pts lower than that on tests that were heavy on those and 20+ pts higher on tests that didn't include them at all.  Of course, as Fussy pointed out about his scores, my health and whether I'm in a particularly good or bad mood, etc., can also affect the score significantly + or -.    

To my thinking, which is, of course, correct by virtue of my being a genious,  ;D  if the tests were an accurate measurement of intelligence, the results would be more consistent, so I tend to think of them as falling into the "for entertainment purposes only" category.  I don't mind sharing/comparing numbers when it's just in good fun, as with this poll.   Beyond that, though?  Well, I know I could indeed be a so-called genius, but that I could just as easily be a moron with a knack for taking tests and that a coin toss probably has about the same chance of accuracy in determining which.  :)

Now, in a way, a completely useless way, tending to score pretty high might explain a lot... like why I'm so easily bored and why I always have so many projects in-progress at once and such as that.     But that's about all it tells me, if it's really telling me that much and, to be honest, I've never really cared why I am the way I am... I just am.  Y'know?

There you go, I tried to spare you the terminal boredom of one of my comments, but you just had to go and ask whose vote that was.   That'll teach ya!    (Hee hee!)   :)

 

 
 


Thanks for the explanation. :)
