Rule one of IQ threads: Almost everyone lies, and the few that tell the truth are indistinguishable. In other words, don't trust anything you see here.

My IQ is 1337 + pi + 42, I feel stupid.

Oh, come now: my Intelligence Quotient isn't a mere scalar, or even a vector. It's a multidimensional set...
...so don't call me a moron: I'm super astute. There is no conundrum that my core cannot compute. No, don't call me a moron, you fostered balloon. My IQ's the infinite space from here to the moon.

Rule 2 of IQ on the Internet: Use an Internet "IQ" test, not an actual IQ test.
According to the only online "IQ" test I've taken I'm 142, and that was while I was so tired I could feel myself being cognitively impaired. I think I still haven't finished my actual IQ test yet, the damn thing is easy, but it takes forever. There is no way you could emulate it online. Also when you get tested you get more results than just the overall IQ, the subsections give you a lot more useful information overall.

I was clinically tested awhile back, but I won't say the results cause nobody would believe me.

Well, I'm not lying, our standardized tests (The Terra Nova) have an IQ section known as the InView they're rather easy questions though, I'm 13.

Well, I'm not lying, our standardized tests (The Terra Nova) have an IQ section known as the InView they're rather easy questions though, I'm 13. I looked up InView, yes it is a cognitive test with 100 as average, but it does not appear to be as in depth as a true IQ test, and it does not appear to be recognized much outside of the education system. So you are Californian? The standard IQ test is the WISC, the current version is WISC-IV.

WISC-IV? I take it you're younger than or about 16 years old (I didn't check your profile). I was tested in the past month in order to see if I could be diagnosed with something, and apparently the WAIS-IV was part of the testing. I didn't realize an IQ test was part of my testing. I will leave out numbers, but mention that the lowest of my scores, which was for Processing Speed, has the qualitative description of Average. My penultimately lowest score has the qualitative description of High Average. Everything else was either Superior or Very Superior.
Just as I'll leave out my age, I'll leave out the quotient of that which can't easily be defined...

Yes, I know already, in so much as anyone can "know" anything that's claimed on the Internet: you posted it once before, and I read it when you posted it then. Since you weren't the one to have taken the WISC-IV, you weren't the one to whom I was replying. Just blame my slow posting for having come after yours instead of Ganon's post about the WISC-IV.
On a side note, if I were 13, this post would have been the perfect opportunity to quote Wheatley from the end of Portal 2. "Yes mate, I know you're 13: we're both 13." That's how it would have gone. I would have linked that text to the closest quote from the game, except that the sound board from which I get my quotes doesn't have that quote...

Apparently I wasn't just taking WISC-IV, I was also taking several other ones including WIAT-III, as one test apparently isn't enough. I still don't have results, I should get them on Monday.
I used to live in Ohio, and we didn't have any Terra Nova stuff, all the stuff I could find on Terra Nova were related to California.

Both wrong. Come on people, it says my join date right in the personal text.
...Ah, but I forgot. I fixed it when I moved to a new forum, but messed up the date 17 is the correct answer.

I never took an IQ test. The only possible uses for it that I see are showing it to other people and joining MENSA. I won't change my way of viewing someone because of such number. A high IQ does not necessarily mean a high intelligence, of course, it can be relationed to that quality, but some people I know didn't get a high number, say, more than 120, and are some of the most knowledgeable people I know.

However, we are in an age where being stupidity is a quality. It makes me happy that your friends or whoever told you you're the smartest in the class did such as a compliment.

Well, AlchemistFaust, the reason I had to take an IQ test among other things was to see whether or not I was sufficiently intelligent enough, but disadvantaged in attempting to display such intelligence in certain situations, e.g. timed tests. I must admit I don't know the full reason behind why the test I took was necessary while seeing if a certain diagnosis fit me...

Well, taking a test for youself, to check your own intelligence is a good thing, and I encourage everyone to do it, however, taking a test for a number that says you're more or less intelligent than someone is something that I can't say it's right. It's like putting people on categories as in Brave New World and constantly denying them some sort of activity or judging them because they are labeled something (Very poor analogy, the best I could find at the moment, however). A person that receives a low number in an IQ test may just give up other activities that it wanted to do because they are "uninteligent".

...and the major problem with intelligence quotients, as demonstrated in Flowers for Algernon is that we're trying to measure something we don't even know how to definitely define. In the quoted book, after the mentally retarded protagonist undergoes surgery to artificially improve his cognitive abilities, the scientists running the trial perform IQ tests, telling him that it's to measure his intelligence. The protagonist, a little beyond the high 60s (his starting IQ before undergoing the experiment) but still below 100, asks them what intelligence is, only to have the two scientists say they aren't really sure. The protagonist later remarks in the story (which is all written in the form of the protagonist's diary that he has to write while undergoing the trial) his confusion at how one could measure what one didn't even know...

That's another point worth noting, Fringe. Also, there are now various ways of dividing inteligence, like in multiple inteligences, none of which is considered to be the "correct" one. Well, if there are multiple intelligences, how can one test define your level of it?

Eh, never tested but probably higher than0. Seriously though, people who I argued with when I was new here know more about my education so the more I learn the more I forget. The more I forget the happier I am, the happier I am, the sadder I will be when I remember I haven't done my prep. Pretty much what I do.
