What did that one construction worker with the mohawk do to get Leeza Gibbons pissed?

121, but a few times I realized my wrong answer after clicking (no takebacks). I think I should have scored at least a 130. My other qualms with the test were some questions I was done in 2 seconds... like those absurdly easy math patterns, however that doesn't benefit my score. Time is a factor in IQ scores, here it wasn't. Not only that, if it was a generally timed test X amount of time for ALL problems, I would've undoubtedly done better as I can allocate time better for myself. Plus it was only 60 questions which is a very small number considering it's a mchoice test.

112, but I wasn't really paying attention through the whole thing cause it was so damn long!

Sounds like the one I took a short while ago (similar idea, different country) on which I got 135. Missed some because I got impatient and switched to a different window a few times. If I click the answer after 2 seconds I do not want to wait for another 18 or more.

This thing was programmed crappy! Even after you answer, it waits for the clock to expire.

123, but when I took the "Official MENSA bullshit-club test" a while back, I scored a 136.

In either case... IQ's are meaningless. Who's to say somebody didn't just guess and get a bunch right on account of luck? Anyway... who puts their IQ on their job app?

126C, and that was the worst iq test i've ever seen. doesnt even factor in age. Considering that your iq doesnt change with your age, and the iq test is a comparison against your age..

I got 52/60...can't remember what that worked out to be.

Should have been 54/60. I clicked on one answer right when the timer ran out but it didn't register for that question (so, automatically that was wrong) but it *did* register the click on the next question and the answer was wrong! That sucked.

But that timer thing was ticking me off...once you click an answer it should go on to the next question. Or, was it timed to go with the show?

I missed 2, and I'm 18... so I think that put me at 132?

But the highest posible score for the youngest group was only 135? That doesn't seem right.

That test seemed really, really easy compared to other IQ tests I've taken.
My score has ranged from 130 to 150 (yeah right!) on internet IQ tests i've taken in the past.

Oh yeah... I didn't take it on the website, I just wrote my answers down while watching.
