Carlos Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Did you (all) feel that test was very geared towards testing mental visualisation of the problem/answer? Is that how IQ tests normally are, or do they cover more ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabiaTerra Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hmmmmm..... 130, better than I did on that BBC "test the nation" thing. (117 I think). It seemed like a very basic test, I've done much more complicated ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickB Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 135Strange thing is, I did one on a game disk that came with a computer magazine a couple of months ago and that said I had an IQ of 85. some would say even that was to high.

khitajrah Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I tried, but my attention span waned around question 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnSaxon Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 When I was at school, a master with a taste for horrible puns put me in the "grossly intelligent" category (ie 144 and up). This makes me intelligent enough to agree with Fjool's observation that the tests are very culturally based and not worth that much. If you were a member of one of the tribes Ray Mears likes visiting, you'd be rated an idiot if you couldn't survive in the wilderness / jungle, and there probably aren't many Mensa members who'd pass muster there. All isn't lost if you're not Mensa material, though (the "brightest" 2%). If you're a member of the "stupidest 98%", there's always Densa. Wikipedia has an article, and it puts the whole IQ business into perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudden Stop Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Two-year-old girl has IQ of 152 A two-year-old girl has astounded experts by scoring 152 in an IQ test - already putting her in the top 2% of the population. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/6229738.stm And given that the parents have given an IQ test to a two year old, I would be surprised if their combined IQ was as much as their daughter...

DamnSaxon Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Two-year-old girl has IQ of 152 (etc)It may just mean she has begun reading as well as the average 3-year old or something, at her age she's probably not actually doing much with it.
