Isn't there an IQ test site that one can go directly to without having to register and download? :wink:

The table did not turn out right, but here is the link. According to this, chili dogs or not, your IQ is higher than Einstein and right there with Shakespeare, Newton, and Goethe. This is cool....

http://www.geocities.com/rnseitz/Definition_of_IQ.html

In his book, "Straight Talk About Mental Tests", The Free Press, A Division of the Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1981, pg. 12, Dr. Arthur Jensen cites the following four IQ thresholds:
(1) An IQ of 50 or below. This is the threshold below which most adults cannot cope outside of an institution. They can typically be taught to read at a 3rd or 4th grade level. However, they cannot normally function in the customary classroom setting, and they require special training programs.
(2) An IQ between 50 and 75. At this level of intelligence, they generally cannot complete elementary school. Most adults will need smarter help in coping with the world.
(3) An IQ between 75 and 105. Children in this IQ range are not generally able to complete a college prep course in high school.
(4) An IQ between 105 and 115. May graduate from college but generally, not with grades that would qualify them for graduate school.
(5) An IQ above 115. No restrictions.
For IQs in these ranges, the influence of IQ upon socioeconomic sttus is dramatic. 31% of those with IQs below 75 were on welfare, compared with 8% of those in the 90 to 110 IQ interval, and 0% in those with IQs above 125. 55% of mothers with IQs below 75 went on welfare after the birth of the first child, compared with 12% of those with IQs between 90 and 110, and 1% of those with IQs above 125. Income is highly dependent upon IQ up to an IQ-level of about 125.

Wow, well Thats great! Thanks for posting that :D I do however have alot of scientic stuff I am working on, and alot is physics, and lots of advanced math, so umm, I guess it fits :wink:

Intersting to note, I suffer from something called "dissociative Fugue Disorder", in which I have memory lapses. Feels like a blink for me, but hrs have passed. I wonder if that has anything to do with how I don't exactly know how I know some of the things I know..Because I learned it when my mind skipped.

It's nice to know that I'm somewhere in the "No Limitations" area; but then, the only limits anyone really has are those they choose themselves. :larrow:

I scored 129 on this test, which means it is quite accurate.

1) In the 8th grade, my parents were told by school guidance counselers I was a gifted student, with an IQ of 130.

2) On the televised "National IQ Test" shown on Fox TV twice within the past five years, I scored a 129 both times.

3) About two years ago, I scored 127 and 129 respectively on an "Emode" internet IQ test (took the test twice two days apart; first time just after breakfast, then a couple days later during the evening).

Actually, I don't want to know my IQ. If it's only fair to middling, it will be a blow to my self esteem. If it's really high, I'll feel like an underachiever. If it's somewhere in the middle, so what?

136 for me. It says "Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers."
