It came up in another thread, I'm curious.

It's just a novelty, people, relax

Then don't vote.

You know, incidentally, perhaps you'd be kind enough to provide us with a link to the original post?

So far no one voted in the 90-110 range, which is where the majority of the people should be! I voted for 79 or less because I don't know my IQ and there was no option to just view the results

Considering that very few people actually know thier IQ, and online tests are about as reliable as a Bit Boyz press release, I'd consider this a joke poll. An example of an online IQ test being wrong: I took it, it said I had an IQ of 160+. I took it again trying to get the lowest score, the lowest I was able to achieve was 79.

Interesting point to ponder -

A friend of mine used to be the editor for Mensa's monthly news letter. She doesn't just qualify for Mensa membership based on IQ - but she wrote their newsletter. That's some kind of smarts in and of itself - to be well respected in that community.

Anyhoo, my point is - she's a wonderful lady, good friend and productive member of society... However, she's very uncomfortable in social environments and is fearful of interaction with people if it involves any sort of conflict resolution. She literally spends most of her waking hours in chat rooms and newsgroups (other than when she's working).

Quite a few of her Mensa friends are similar in smarts and social skills. Some of them are phenominally skilled at focused interests, and have little to nothing substantial regarding what the rest of us consider to be common sense.

This of course is not representative of everyone w/high Intellect, just examples to show that IQ is often not the whole package.

(Crap - now I'm going to find out if she or her husband surf ATOT! )

Just to point it out, it's not as though it would be terribly difficult to intentionally bomb a legitimate IQ test either.

I'm saying that I answred the very minimum of questions, and got every single one wrong. The test probably gave me the 79 points for getting to the webpage and being able to click the mouse.

Since different standardized IQ tests will give different scores, especially in the upper ranges, the question is meaningless.

From www.mensa.org:

Membership in Mensa is open to persons who have attained a score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test that has been properly administered and supervised. There is no other qualification or disqualification for membership eligibility.

The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There is 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 percentile 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.

Generally, there are two ways to prove that you qualify for Mensa: either take the Mensa test, or submit a qualifying test score from another test. There is a large number of intelligence tests that are "approved". More information on whether a test you have taken is approved, as well as information on the procedure for taking the Mensa test, can be obtained from the nearest Mensa office. There are no on-line tests that can be used for admission to Mensa. Feel free to contact Mensa for specific details about eligibility.

geeks=iq battle
jocks=p3nis size battle

I win at both

No one had better quote an online IQ test for their real results.

I took one and picked absolutely randomly and got an IQ of 125... BS
