cheers, I liked the thread, myself.

Excuse me, were you referring to me? If you were, I would like to know why you describe me in such language? If this reflects your honest opinion of me, then you should ban me from the site. I have received a lot of verbal abuse from bullies in my life. I refuse to take this.


why do you think I was referring to you? Are you a troll?

So Tinky's a mod, but no love for Dipsy or Po?

And no, to our trollish friend, I for one wasn't "boasting". As I noted, a 163 IQ and five bucks will get you a top-flight cup of coffee at any Starbucks in the US.

I got 125 (at 1 am), but it was an online one. I don't know how to get access to the formal ones - do you have to live in the USA?
I don't really care about my IQ much though, I'm smart whether a test says so or not :D

When I was diagnosed with AS about 2 or 3 years ago (I forget, hah), the doc did all sorts of tests on me, including IQ tests. In my diagnostic report thingie, I got an anomalous score. Normally you get two numbers, and they are suppose to be nearly identical, but mine are not, and the doc attributed that to my AS. My two numbers are 103 and 119. I forget what they refer to and stuff. I have a copy of my diagnostic report, but I don't feel like looking it up.

People always call me "smart" and other similarly lame terms, but I always reject such claims. I tend to retort with, "I am not smart, just well-trained and knowledgeable." which then leads people to think I am even smarter... *sigh*.

Mine was 149, when I was 11, Stanford-Binet.
I have consumed a lot of alcohol, pot, LSD, ecstasy, ketamine, ambien, processed food, coca-cola, lexapro, and network TV, since then. It probably knocked a few points off, to say the least.
I don't want to know what my score is now. It might lead to my getting depressed, and consuming more alcohol, pot, ecstasy, ketamine, ambien, processed food, coca-cola, lexapro, and network TV.

I got 10 million ! !! :D
Seriously, I got 149 on my last test, but depending of the test, I have between 142 - 157...
These tests are all done by psychiatrists, not those on-line tests....

First of all, let me start off by saying that online IQ tests are useless. Don't base anything on or off them.

But moving on, I've had my IQ tested but I was never told the results. From what I can remember I scored poorly on the most basic questions, but highly on the more advanced questions so I'm not sure to be honest. I have been invited to participate in some of the Academic Extension Programs so I'll assume it was a fairly high result.

I dunno what test it was that I took, but I scored 139 out of a possible 150. Which put me in the top 2%. 2% on a pretty fat curve though.

I only did test on the Internet for fun. My IQ was between 75 and 150, it all depends on the test. I know I'm not bright, I have big problems with maths (when it's a written problem I don't understand it) and I'm pretty sure I'm poor when it comes to find the "next picture" (you know the square that moves).
I've realized that doing more and more IQ test helps you understand how it works (especially if you concentrate on it). I always have a good result in logic and verbal skill (though I tried some test in English and it's not my native language at all).

My best friend did one online and got the same result as her real IQ test (when she was 9), I did that one too and had 131 (better verbal result again).
I also did the mensa thing online (not the real test) and they said I should do their real test... :roll: However... I believe I have between 90 and 100 since I have no problem at school (and do the "hardest kind of studies" in my country according to the teachers, but I hate to work, I'm pretty lazy so...) but I'm not bright, I'm average.

My father has 162. He has been tested because they did many tests for the army when he was younger or no one would have noticed. I don't think having a high IQ is always "helping" and it doesn't seem to always affect the personality.
