If you can study for it, it's not an IQ test.

It's not studying per se, but cheating the system. Cheating the system mainly happens in the essay, which is why I think it's worthless. But then the prep courses really teach you how to find the answer not by knowing the answer, but by knowing what it's not. Then there's doing answers that are similar to it, but it's not like that's not possible with a real IQ test.

I agree with Hydra. I wouldn't call the SAT/ACT as essentially an IQ test.

IQ tests are classified as an aptitude tests, which are intended to measure your mental abilities and your capacity to learn and understand. They were originally designed to identify children in schools with special needs. 

If an "IQ test" asks for general knowledge, grammar, etc, then it's not an IQ test, but an assessment/achievement test to test on what you've learned.   Knowing the names of all 206 bones in your body doesn't make you intelligent; it just means you took the time to memorize them all. 

With that said, there are so many horrible IQ tests out there that give people an inflated IQ score, and when they finally take a good one, then they claim, "Oh this IQ test is t3h sux0r, I took another IQ test and scored a 184!, therefore this isn't a reall IQ test".

Most IQ tests you take online and offline do not pass the reliability, standardization, and validity test, and therefore are not scientifically nor statistically sound.  Statistically speaking, your IQ is a continuous random variable and it will always pass the normality test, no doubt about that.

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread, but I think I'm going to stop here.  :)

Also, the SAT and ACT are supposed to be essentially an IQ test (although entirely different)

Nothing in your post is new >.>

Psychologists wanted me to do them for their research about twins, so it was free


I think that's why I did a real one too :)

Who won :P Are you identical twins though?

I thought most identical twins sound almost the same on Vent?  It's like a dead giveaway lol.



Hehe my voice would be the only thing that's the same as my twin sisters'
Pretty hilarious...when me or my sis tell othere we're twins, no one believes us (they usually don't even believe we are sisters). But when we're on the phone or w/e our friends don't even know who they are talking to (which can be pretty hilarious when I'm pretending to be her while talking to her boyfriend  :siderofl: )

My IQ ended up being measured as a 124 for that particular test Taipan posted (with the default 16 deviation).  I guess that's the 60th percentile in the "High" range for that test.  Also, umm... I did not even see that clock there.  I guess it probably took me 15 minutes, but I had no pressure from knowing a clock was there.  It could have hurt my score that I did not take my time, but could have also helped my score because I had no pressure from the clock.  rofl!

When I took the ACT, it said I was in the top 1% for mathematics.  My english, however, was below the average.  Science was a above average.  I am not the most well-balanced person.  xD

It seems like I used to do better on those things.  I was quite the young wit.  I suppose once your mind crystallizes to some degree, it lets everybody else catch up.
