Does that (www.iqtest.com) iq test have any real merit? Like does it actually give a good estimate of your IQ (as compared to a real life iq test), or is it just a "fun" thing to do?

chances are it overrates your IQ to make you feel smart, which in turn helps them convince you to buy whatever they're selling.

Well if you believe that test then I make Einstein look like a child.
Somehow I'm not about to put much faith in that conclusion

go here for the best IQ test. This test is known for its accuracy and precision around the world, and over 2 million people have taken it. Just take the test (it is in the right hand column of tests) and post your result here.

Me: 179 (no joke). Try to beat that!

I am pretty sure the one in my link (see above or here) is an official version.

Check it out. Not only do you get your score for free, but they don't try to sell you anything either.
