Surely verbal comprehension is SOME indicator of cognitive functioning, but I suppose it's debatable whether it represents an innate characteristic or simply a skill set.  But I'll posit this much: We certainly credit the loquacious with more intelligence than those who utter only ape-like grunts.

Does this mean that by using words like "cognitive functioning" and "loquacious" you represent yourself as a Smarty-pants?
 ^^!

It still doesn't make up for the fact that you stole my IQ score!

I only got 105. I'm no good at the logic thing it seems. On other IQ tests I've gotten scores from 125-160. So I don't believe in them.

An IQ test really should not be based on how someone comprehends some logic puzzles. Some really smart people are inclined to think differently. If it were to be a "Intelligence" test, or a General Knowledge test with a range of different questions, I know I could score easily 130++++.

The other thing is this test only contributes correct answers to your scores...If it is logic then perhaps answers should be ranked on how close one is to getting the correct score...There are so many flaws that render this test completely useless XD

It might rate each one, but I'm not sure.

Is an IQ supposed to be constant throughout life, or at least generally constant? I think when I took this three to four years ago, I got a 112, which is 15 off of what I got this time.

It is supposed to be generally constant.

The other reason this is flawed is because it doesn't measure your age ::)

Each age level is supposed to get a completely different IQ. (IE. 16 will be higher than 42).

That is correct Hydra. He said something like it wasn't normalized too. He may have been referring to the age thing, but he might also have meant that the scores could be too compressed. Because I personally feel that I'm a 200. In fact, I define intelligence as being like me. There's only one quality I have more than intelligence. And that's modesty. Thank you all and good night!
Sincerely,

ahhh lol so u people are debated about IQ test

well your right, everyone has different minds and trying to unify their intelligence its like comparing an apple to an orange. For example Jane is a walking encyclopedia, while people like Edison is a walking calculator. This IQ test only focus on someones ability to detect and understand patterns.

Someone who might get like 74 in this test can be magically 100 times smarter in other fields then someone with 140+

On this test I got a 108, but on a different test (it took a little from everything; math, language, abstract, deductive reasoning, ect.) I got a 117. I'm not too sure which one is more accurate, though...

Tickle's test isn't very good, considering it has a question about something that requires that you know sayings, which has nothing to do with intelligence. I think when I took it 2 years ago I got 139.
