The beauty of IQ is that it doesn't test "intelligence" at all - merely your spatial and verbal reasoning. True intelligence - the ability to analyse, use advanced logic, remember and understand difficult concepts, empathise with those around you or possess aesthetic abilities, the list not being exhaustive - is something you could never properly quantify.

There's no harm in it - it just shouldn't be called an "Intelligence Quotient" or marketed (by Mensa in particular, who are elitist fools, damn them) as the be-all-and-end-all of assessing somebody's intelligence - and, by implied extension, their intrinsic worth.

Well, how does that equate in this test, seeing as though it only went up to 150 ?

143. Higher than least year, though I'm not sure the IQs for my age group actually went up that high last time.

65/70 IQ = 148 :shock:

The ones I lost the most marks on were those bloody building blocks!

As Square Eyes pointed out, I think you'll find it only went up to 150

Well, nobody likes a show off.

118 here for me. I hated all those shape things being put together, hurt my head that did.
I wasn't trying to show off. Anyway, there are plenty of other people who got much higher scores than me. Well done them :D
