    Now, see, if we go by that test, I got a IQ score of 163. Genius, I am not. So, perhaps I will take a day of boredom something next month when the girls are gone and contact the local Mensa club, just for laughs. Until then, however, I'm telling everyone THAT score. :evil:

    Because mental age slows quite a bit after childhood, the IQ formula is not truly accurate: going just on the score of the test, a person can go from being "gifted" to "mentally challenged" simply by staying at the same level of intelligence over the course of their life.

    So far, not a single person has tested at or below the "average", which is 100.. How come? I have some theories:

    1) Us gamers are a clever bunch. :D

    2) There were people on SP who took it, but decided not to report the result because they were embarrassed. :(

    3) The company has "tilted" the test in a direction, to give more positive, "flattering" results, cause you're a lot more likely to pay for the extensive analysis thing if it has a good number written on it. :evil:

    [​IMG] Incidentally, the reason for disparate scores from different tests is because the IQ scale is not necessarily standardized. Different tests often use different scales.

    I haven't taken any IQ tests in awhile, but I did take that emode test awhile back, and got somewhere around 130. I thought I had the results saved in my email, but I wasn't able to find it. I also took the test at http://www.iqtest.com and got a 168 over there (I think anyway). But as Extremist stated, it's difficult to accurately measure your IQ over the internet.

    I got 135 ... and my type is Facts Curator.

    The first thing we can tell you about that is you've fed your brain a unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a good hold on words and numbers. But that's just scratching the surface.

    That's about right I guess. I'm not a genius, just creative.
