Sorry, can't help myself. I got my graduate degree in Applied Experimental Psychology, concentrating in Measurement (i.e., the design of psychological tests) and statistics. :P

Yea, I admit it, on all those tests I get bored and don't feel like trying to solve it anymore and make random guesses lol.. course the tests don't factor in people that do that =D

Verbal/word comprehension has nothing to do with an IQ, just what you've been told. This actually figures out whether your mind can understand these sorts of patterns, which require logical reasoning. This is the only IQ test that I've ever taken that I believe to have any validity at all. Language is too ambiguous to be used in an IQ test. And I saw nothing dealing with mathematics. . . .
I finished with just over 26 minutes left on the clock. So i guess i did that in less than 4 minutes! :-X
We were timed? lol maybe if I didnt stop to talk to someone for a few minutes my IQ would be a lil higher... ::)

wats a "IQ?"
Yeah, that test was clearly slanted toward abstract reasoning, only one part of a good measurement method.
.... I finished with 23:35 left on the clock. (And I took two phone calls while taking the test....)
S'all I'm gonna say.... ;)
here is mine: (do yours with standard deviation 16)
That was hard! I had to guess at the questions on either side of the penultimate one, with six seconds left. I think I got both wrong.
Knowing geography has nothing to do with someone's intelligence... Same thing goes for history.exactly
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.
IQ=127
That was harder than Tickle.com's IQ test. Even though I did get 126 on that test...
Yeah, some of the problems near the end were like, what???? I finally found the pattern those, i think...
Usually if you read left to right, then down, it makes a little more sense. Other times you have to read top to bottom first then to the right. There's a pattern in each one, just gotta find it.

92 but i got bored halfway so i guessed most at the end while watching youtube stuff >.<
Naw, that's just renegade being lazy.

Wow we must have done the exact same thing. I got a 103 as well as guess. Most test are inaccurate because one time I got like a 139.
118 I got - normally a bit higher than that on IQ tests - many of these seemed to have no actual correlation whatsoever.
According to Facebook's IQ test app, which told me mine was 144 - I'm more inclined to trust that as it was other things as well as shape recognition.
farily = fairly
Well, my IQ just dropped.....
118 and I'm only 16, I'd say I did pretty well. Cheesy

Your IQ does not change as you get older ::)
You can do things to IMPROVE it of course, but in general your IQ when you are 3 years old will change very little to when you are 103.
Hm? how is that? I'm sure that when someone that is 5 years old takes one of these tests and scores poorly on it(say ~80), he achieved such a score due to his lack of knowledge to such types of puzzles or questions. Therefore, the more one learns the greater knowledge one gains to solve such situations as an IQ test. I seriously doubt someone doesn't increase their intelligence as they grow if they try since "with age comes wisdom".
I am not bothering to read all 9 pages of this thread so this may already be explained but unless things have been drastically change in the past 15 or so years IQ is not an absolute measure of one's intelligence. IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient i.e. intelligence ratio. It is a measure of your intellectual age compared to your real age as compared to a measure set by an average of the rest of the population. For example a 10 year old that tests to have the intelligence of a 20 year old would have an IQ of 200 but the standard that sets what the intelligence of a 10 year old should be is based on the average scores all the other 10 year olds have achieved. One of the inherent problems with traditional IQ tests is that while it is easy to tell a general increase in intelligence in 10 year olds to 20 year olds it becomes increasingly difficult to tell any real difference in average intelligence of say 30 year olds compared to 40 year olds. For that reason IQ tests have traditionally only been considered to be relevant when given in childhood and it is that IQ that is applied to you for the rest of your life. This is because there is a difference between learned knowledge over time and inherent intelligence which is your ability to learn. The person who has scored the highest legitimate IQ is Marilyn vos Savant who at the age of 10 years 1 Month tested with a mental age of 22 years 10 Months for an IQ of 228. Tests like the one in this thread are commonly called IQ tests but are in fact measuring something very different than what the traditional IQ tests measure. Still very fun though. :P
I just took it again after a long time (almost ten months) and scored perfectly...
There technically is no highest score, so you could potentially have an IQ of 9,999,999,999,999, but because it is based on a normal distribution, most scores will fall within the 50 -150 range. This calculator only goes up to 400 apparently. I think the highest actual IQ someone has is around 180? I'm not quite sure.
i see. so i got a 90 out of possible 400+ IQ that edison and ben got from the test which is the highest
so 90/400 = takin out calc = 22%. so is this where im at i score higher than 22% of people?
Tanner - It doesn't work quite like that. Techjnically, someone could have an IQ of 5,563,590 if their brain capacity is that high. There is no limit. If you score 90 on a real IQ test, I'd guess you're above about 40-45% of the population.

It's just getting all the questions correct. For a perfect system, there'd be an infinite amount of questions.
I think it's by far better than a lot of them online.
My 400 can take you any day Edison.
:clint:
This is entirely logic, actually. Math is the most expressible form of logic there is.
I scored 114 ± 16.

Did any of you ever do a real IQ test?how much it cost if its cheap then mayyyyybe
okay i just took test again and this time i score a 96!!! ;D so my IQ is getting higher. soon i will get an iq of more than 100 d_b
what this thing below
(http://mathurl.com/nmfupz.png)
how do i know where i stand now?????? what that long curly S thing on the left??? and where i plug the 96 to get my new ranking?Did any of you ever do a real IQ test?how much it cost if its cheap then mayyyyybe
so why are some people like so smart and some so-so? do you think its like genetics or the stuff people do in their life that determine their IQ and stuff? and is there something people with high iq do differently in life??? i see ads on the internet that are pills that increase your IQ, do u know if thats true?
okay so you said the curley S thiny is the integral sign but i dont see that symbol on my calculator? what calculator do u have that have the int() function u talking about so i can go to the store and buy one and play with it to calculate my IQ. And can you plug in my IQ score 96 into your calculator in the meantime to tell me my IQ ranking compare to others please? also, i read on page3 that Edison said he got IQ 112, what percentage difference is his integral compare to mine? one last question also please, how do you plug in an IQ above 140+ that X got into a calculator? why does it not say like an exact whole integer?
thank you for being patient and nice and explaining things goalie
I've actually taken that test a few times over a few years. One thing they do with IQ scores is taking age into account to normalize everything more, and I believe the result I posted was from a time two years prior to the post, when I was 13. That also happened to be around the time that I took school far less seriously than I should have, which had negative consequences many years later. In later times, I got higher scores by more than 20 points I believe. In some ways, this is more of a score of the combination of how much you've exercised your intelligence, or however you want to say that, with your intelligence.
One idea behind the IQ test is that you have a set base intelligence, which would learn more towards it being genetics. But as far as I am aware, it has not been linked to genetics solely. It's another of those areas where people argue nature vs. nurture, though in this case I personally think it's obviously both, and that genetics do play a large role in intelligence, or at least the desire to learn certain things, which is why siblings (like my sister and I) can be so different even if they are raised similarly with the idea that they should do well in school and learn a lot, and so on.
There's a bunch to this topic, and I think Booyah posted a link to somewhere with a bunch of information on IQ tests, or at least he had a long post, I forget which.
Did any of you ever do a real IQ test?
Cause they surely consist many more areas covered as this one :P
That's essentially saying that 26.6% of people who take the IQ test with a standard deviation of 16 score 90 or below.

In order to do integrals, you would need a powerful scientific calculator, one that does more than just addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. One example is the TI-83 and -84 series. (Which cost around $100-150) These have a function on them which I believe is "fint()" that does integrals. For this calculator, the input would look something like this:
fint(x2+5x+14, x, 0, 10)
Where x2+5x+14 is the equation that you want the answer for, x defines the variable (you could use any letter in the alphabet, you just have to define which variable you want because the calculator stores numbers inside letters), 0 is the lower bound (where you want to start) and 10 is the upper bound (where you want to end).
Like I said, unless you've taken a course in Calculus, this will probably seem like a different language to you. I'd probably ask your parents or other siblings and see if they know what I'm talking about. If not, then one of your teachers may know about integrals.I've actually taken that test a few times over a few years.

As I read, IQ scores were in the past used to determine how well a child would do in school, work, etc. They can tailor an IQ test to fit a specific age group, and therefore get a good idea of how well that child is doing compared to everyone else. Usually until you reach the age of 20, you would have to take a specific test to determine your IQ, because an adult IQ test would not give a correct score because of the differences in ability to comprehend.

Hopefully, you got over Rice Univerisity denying your admission. :P

I normally re-use my essay with a few modifications. You don't seem like the person who would publicize their rejection to a university in a thread. But LOL anyways for my psychic ability :P
The TI82 should be able to do integrals. There isn't a button for integrals, but if you press the MATH button then 9, you should get the "fnInt(" function. This is what the equation should look like:
fnInt(1/(16*√(2*π)*e^(-(X/100)^2*2*16^2),X,0,Z)*100
π can be found by pressing "2nd" and then "^" (but if you can't find it, then just use the number 3.14), √ is the square root function which can be found by pressing "2nd" then "x2", and e can be found by pressing "2nd" then "LN". "Z" is your score, so if you scored 112, then your equation would look something like this:
fnInt(1/(16*√(2*π)*e^(-(X/100)^2*2*16^2),X,0,112)*100
If you need any more help with setting this up, you can send me a Personal Message (PM for short) and we can work it out that way.
The test gave a "140+" because it's not a very accurate test. When someone scores far away from 100, it becomes much harder to tell what the actual number is because this test isn't as accurate as other IQ tests. So you really can't put "140+" into the calculator, but you could put "140" in there and get a number that would be very close to the actual answer.
I have no idea as I never had to pay for them...Did any of you ever do a real IQ test?how much it cost if its cheap then mayyyyybe

okay so i go thru all your step but i get an error? i give up sorry that's why i hate these new technolgies and stuff so frustrating.
can u pls put my IQ integral 96 to see my new % rank from 90?
and while u are there, can u put in edison's integral IQ 112 and X's integral IQ 140+ so i can compare how well my % rank is with them? thank u like soooooo much for helping me with stuff so i can try to do as much as i can to increase my IQ!!!!!!!
