I got a 137 on a real IQ test not an online one. IQ tests are timed not a think for a while and answer.

Well apparently this test is also accurate, despite the fact that it is not timed.

I've done other online ICQ tests and received silly scores like 151, so this one is at least more difficult, if not indeed more accurate.

I did an online IQ test, which was timed - I got 143, I think...

From www.mensa.org:
"The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another test. Some intelligence tests don't use IQ scores at all. Mensa has set a percentage as cutoff to avoid this confusion. Candidates for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile (a score that is greater than or equal to 98 percent of the general population taking the test) on a standard test of intelligence. "

So "what was your percentile rank" is a more useful question, though even that can vary from day to day or test to test (I've scored as low as 96th and as high as 99th).

An IQ test is really a few tests as well. While I don't doubt that most people that come to Anandtech are smart, I do doubt the vadility of any online test.

Take it for what it's worth...

[edit]
And according to the follow-up e-mail:

Did you know?

Visionary Philosophers love chocolate. 57% of them reach for it when a food craving strikes.

I got whatever you got +1!

I'm rubber and you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks on you!

IQ of 122, and I'm a Visual Mathemetician. Lowest score I've got on an IQ test, and I'm 14.

That is so just IFC. Do you realize what this means? By the time your 28 your IQ will be 244
And when you reach 56, your IQ will be an IFC 488

Looks like I'm pretty stupid.

126 and precision processor.

EDIT: I'm only 15. Looks like that can mess up the results a bit.
