*POLL*: What's your IQ?

[n0cmonkey]

I don't care. IQs are like benchmarks, they are basically useless in real world tests.

Quick summary of the Stanford-Binet and Weschler tests:

Both of these tests yield an I.Q. score that expresses an individual's intelligence compared with a representative group of people of the same age, with the average IQ set at 100. For example, if a 14-year-old does as well as the average 16-year-old, he earns a mental age of 16. This is divided by the child's chronological age (14) and multiplied by 100 to arrive at the IQ score. In this case, the child's I.Q. is an above-average 114 (16/14*100=114).

From here.

Took the Stanford-Binet in high school -- it was a lot of fun. Pattern recognition and spatial skills really help.

Just high enough that I can realise the extent of my limitations.

I remember taking a mechanical aptitude test and missing one question because either answer was equally valid so I chose neither. The people who wrote the test were apparently dummer than me and didn't see their error. 😀

Oh, and by the way, nice😉

Then don't vote.

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

No I wouldn't be. This gets done every other month or so. The last one was in January.

Got that right, except that I doubt that IQ readings are even as important as benchmarks 🙂

I forget what it was (I think in the 120 range....) but it was an online one. Seemed pretty standard from all that I have heard about them.

We have a lot of people who really have no idea or who are liars 😀

According to most tests, I'm around 140.
