How smart are we at Subsim?

I took one 2 years ago and I got like 120

[Stealth Hunter]

The last time I took an IQ test was in 2001, and I had a score of 129 (which, as Stabiz said, has probably dropped a load by now).

The last and only time iv taken an official IQ test was back in 05 and i scored 141.

[Ducimus]

Never took an IQ test, at least none that i can remember. However, as my biggest critic, i am compelled to say that I am as dumb as a box of rocks! :rotfl:

[PeriscopeDepth]

I've never taken one. My mommy says I'm smart though...

Should I start a seperate thread for SAT test scores (kidding, wouldn't do that)? Why does one take an official IQ test though? MENSA application?

PD

Tested at 136, but I'm also serving customers at the same time. Concentration is a little lacking.

Your IQ is 112


:rotfl::rotfl:



No excuse but i took guesses with the number questions.

That IQ test you linked is nonsense, just like all the other ones you find on the net (some more so then others)

Yeah I know. It's still fun though.

Exactly. And of the "official" IQ tests scientist would conduct, or psychologists, it is not much different. As long as there are so many different understandings of what intelligence is, and IQ tests get constructed with this diversity of understanding, and different weighing of theoretical sub-constructs, IQ scores make little sense.

Or as Asimov put it: intelligence is what an IQ-test is measuring.

Better understand intelligence as a meta-label only that does not describe one quality in itself, but under which a whole range of qualities of varying complexity get summarized. and to the degree the mixture is varying, so does your understanding of intelligence, and so does what your test is measuring.

Which might essentialy mean there are different kinds of intelligence in theory as well.

I think that website is a phish.

The email was enough of an alarm bell, let alone the rest of the info it wants.

Exactly. That's why I used my Hotmai address. I don't think you need to fill in the rest it wants. I got fed up with that only to find I got e-mailed my results anyway. My score was 135. I don't trust that site, though.

Not necessarily a 'phish' but a way of obtaining e-mail addresses.
I didn't check their privacy statement, but when it asked for the
e-mail address, I dropped it like a bag of snakes (the site, not
the e-mail address).

EDIT: Yeah, this was the big turn-off right here on their privacy page:
