took IQ test at my old college

[sumday]

Scored 100. Is that good or bad? I asked and was told ''it's relative'' What the fuck does that mean?

 

[sumday]

109* Anyways, I think these tests are bogus anyways.

IQ stands for intelligence quotient.

Supposedly, it is a score that tells one how “bright” a person is compared to other people. The average IQ is by definition 100; scores above 100 indicate a higher than average IQ and scores below 100 indicate a lower that average IQ. Theoretically, scores can range any amount below or above 100, but in practice they do not meaningfully go much below 50 or above 150.
Half of the population have IQ’s of between 90 and 110, while 25% have higher IQ’s and 25% have lower IQ’s:

You are 40 points higher than the average poster at the RX.

 

[wilheim]

And about 60 points higher than the average Okie.

I did poorly in memory section. Excellent in math and language. Anyways, what a waste of an afternoon. I could have been watching Seinfeld reruns.

I took one recently as part of a job interview and scored a 131. No so sure about that, though.

131, according to the above info, you are a very intelligent chap.

The way you talk that sounds a little low. I would have had you pegged for 160+.

Sumday, you blew the potential of this thread by not starting it in the Rubber Room.

IMO These Scores Are Bogus

Or at least the definition, as far as score to same. I've taken an IQ 4 times got 135, 137 (2) & 139. And I'm sure as hell NOT "very superior". A total dunce when it comes to higher math & my spacial reasoning is awful. The Rubiks Cube for example completely stumped me.

 

[MikeB]

You went from 100 to 109* in 27 minutes.




Did they tell you that your test was based on 1000 points though?

what type of test did you take ? there are several

depending on which one you took , the comparative scores and its classificaitions will vary

the chart that Wil posted reminds me of the WAIS (Which is pretty common but by no means the only one)

 

[wilheim]

Wolfie is right there are many different tests.

The most commonly used:

WISC-IV (children)
WAIS-III (very commonly used)
Stanford-Binet-IV RIAS UNIT WASI Woodcock-Johnson-R WPPSI
KBIT DAS (children)

I just got a 129 while on percocet and half watching the game. I took the test then they wanted me to pay $10 for an evaluation and breakdown of my score, but they did send the score for free. Seemed very easy to me? Only problem I had was on the geometry type questions. I always hated geometry.


Would like to know how this test compares to other standard tests if anyone knows.

 

[Inactiongirl]

PS... The above referenced test was only 38 questions...not sure if that is "standard."

mine was 133 back in high school, before I started drinking and gambling heavily.
