With a passion. Stupid peers still try and get the "smart" kid to do everything. Then when I told them I was still in high school, none of the dudes really talked to me. Some of the chicks said I was pretty cute, but I don't know if thats in a "like my little brother" way, or a "I want to jump your bones after class" way. Never really showed up enough 'cept during tests to find out.
Don't know what my IQ is on a "real" test. Took every internet IQ test I could find and got 140-160 on those.
I'm one of the laziest people I know. I was in gifted programs when I was younger. I got OK grades in school, I could have done better if I'd studied more, and actually did some of the assignments, but I always did really well in math/physics/chemistry when it was a subject I was interested in. At those times I got higher scores than valedictorian and salutorian of my class, val. went to harvard, and the twin salutorians went to UCLA, one of them is doing a master's in math right now, dunno about the other). I've always gotten pretty horrible grades in English, even though I read a lot. Hated writing essays. I took 8 AP tests by the time I finished high school, entered college as a sophomore, 5's in Chem and Calc I, 4's in US Hist, English, Bio, and Physics, 3's in Euro/World Hist and U.S. Govt. Hardly studied for any of those, except for chem and calc, was only motivated in those because I was competing against some of the people in those classes.
I think I'm even on the right/left brain thing, I'm good at logical thinking, math, comp. sci stuff, and I'm also pretty good at drawing and painting, I read a lot of classic literature, and I write (fiction type stuff, no essays).
One funny thing is that in elementary school I would procrastinate doing book reports, and the night before it was due I'd write a book report about a book that didn't exist, type it up, create a bibliography and everything, and I got A's on those.

I dunno about online tests, if you take more than 1 online test from different webpages with different questions etc.. Seems like to me it's probably that number..
me thinks not everyone has had official IQ tests on here administered by a professional psychologist or other qualified doctor.
IQ tests on teh intarweb do not count.

163.
I'm not sure what side of the brain I associate with more because I forgot which is which. I'm ADD; figure it out.

Completely false. Though Off Topic tends to attract members who more closely resemble Cro-Magnon man (intellectually speaking), there are a number of extremely intelligent individuals that post regularly, and certainly more found in other sections of the forum.
I for one am not surprised by Trygve's score. I would have certainly counted him among the aforementioned group.
If it matters at all (it's just a number, after all), I've tested twice with Mensa-approved tests: first score was 153, and the second was 157.
I suppose I could average the two results, but that would likely involve some rather complex mathematics.

*shrugs* IQ is your ability to learn..so some people learn better than others...does that mean that because you learn 'better', you're more intelligent?
According to a test I took when I was 8 years old: 137.
I don't want to take another test because I find it pointless.

Amen to that. IQ doesn't measure success or happiness at all. It is a totally pointless test because it only measures certain types of intelligence.
135 or so (mom can't remember exactly) @ 4 yrs old. I think it went up signifigantly in private school until the 6th grade @ which time I entered public school. It dropped lots after that and has been dropping ever since. At this point celery has more calories than I have IQ points.
