    Be proud if your iq isn't that high, people with high iq's have a hard time communicating with others.

    The last time I did an IQ test was almost 10 years ago, I was at Uni then. 134 iirc, but I have no doubt it has decreased by more than half by now.

    I did one back in eight grade (age 14, I believe), and scored somewhere between 145-150, I can't exactly remember.

    I don't have any problems socializing or cleaning, etc. however, so it's probably on the lower scale, if what you people say about high IQ is true.

    IQ of 130+ = superior intelligence. only 2,1% of the people have this. Yet every-one on MMO says the have 130-145. Stop lie

    My high school had an IQ test for entry, which required at least 117 if I remember correctly. I got straight in with no waiting lines so I know I'm atleast that...?

    Yes, I'm sure you went from the 98.8th percentile to the 1.39th percentile. You were in fact a Mensa member, but are now functionally retarded.
    When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

    Please.
    You don't consider that this type of thread attracts those that feel a desire to share their IQ? Some people may want the attention it gives.

    That, and then there's people who want to read the threads to see if they can figure out who lies.

    ITT: every1 has an IQ of over 130. It's the internet, and we never lie about ourselves here.

    Well I was joking about the decreased by half thing but I wouldn't be surprised if it's decreased a lot by now (alcohol, drugs, unemployment, LoL) . Besides, I wouldn't put much value on ones IQ, the type of test, the time it takes place, and many more variables affect it.

    I would expect that you have a high latent inhibition, which ties in with mental health on the topic of intelligence (or the human brain, since everyone has intelligence, just various degrees of it). Don't worry, it usually decays with age.

    Does any one know if the time on the mensa online tests affects the score? I know its not a "real" IQ tests but it seems to be much better than those shitty ones like iqtest.com. I scored 126 because I was frustrated with the last 5 questions but I had 19 minutes remaining.

    Wow, thanks. That explained it right up and made me feel so good.

    Easy to test. Write down your answers, note the IQ result, and then do them again in a minute and see if it affects it. I don't think it does though, I think they allotted enough time where doing it faster don't impact the result as much as if you'd do it slower (sort of a sweet spot). Or to prevent cheating. But I could be wrong.

    Hmmm, 1 in a billion? So, probabilistically, ~7 on the planet atm then? Strange than that you seem to have issue with his claim there is 1.

    my mom had me tested cpl of years ago when I was like 16. It was around 158-162. But IQ doesn't actually mean that the person has insane grades or anything. It means you have the potential, but u still have to "use" it by learning stuff and so on. I've never actually had any problems getting good grades and so on, but it really differs from person to person and especially from their talents. Some ppl who are working as a professor at a university are "considered" more intelligent than builders or something, but builders who are intelligent are probably not so easily recognized and stuff. Idk, am brabbling again. Have a nice day guys

    IQ test doesn't work for me because it all involve color and I'm color blinded so last time I attempted one I had 24 IQ

    Thats a VERY inacurate list. Its missing tons of people and only lists celebs. Its not like every celeb is a genius. The Mensa is full of people with IQs over 150, however their list is not public for a good reason.

    Consider that those who have low IQs are too embarrassed to post them. Here you get 1) braggers or 2) liars.
