Have a go at this Verbal IQ test

Post Reply New Topic

Before I saw my results, I typed the following line, as a preemptive measure against imminent negative emotions:

I got a 90. Not surprised. I have a very tiny vocabulary and I don't read that much.


Then I saw my score and it says:

Snapshot Report
Vocabulary
SubFacor IQ score = 138
Subscale percentile = 99

You appear to have a very extensive vocabulary. You know the meanings of most of the given terms, some of which are extremely advanced. Your excellent vocabulary can help you communicate and understand the written word.


Which is total BS. I don't have an IQ of 138. I don't even know the meaning of most words on that test. I feel sorry for those of you who believe your score on that test is meaningful.

That's weird.

When i was diagnosed about 8 1/2 years ago (with Aspergers), my visual/spatial score on Stanford-Binet was a standard deviation at least above my verbal score (it was 145-150, whereas the verabl score was 110-120). About six months ago when my diagnosis was changed to HFA my IQ test (WAIS-III) had my verbal a standard deviation above my performance (93 versus 77). While the overall subscores only a standard deviation, there is substantial scatter within (such as, some subtests I scored in bottom 1 %ile, and others in top 9 %ile, averaging to 85 which is 15 %ile).

On this test.:

I am envious of you. My score is too low.

Could you tell what is the maximum score for each part of this test? With this score, am I mentally impaired?

I wonder whether I can rise my score by exercising.

You appear to have a very limited vocabulary and lack the ability to identify the correct responses for a variety of different questions. A deficient vocabulary can hinder you in many ways; you may struggle to find the correct words when speaking, fail to understand what others are communicating to you, or come across as inarticulate to others. Fortunately, with practice, and by expanding your reading materials and making a conscious effort to learn new words, your vocabulary can gradually increase.



No Way.

Some one let me know I did good do not look at the IQ score and just say I did good. ewwwwwwwwwwww!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

SubFacor IQ score = 71
Subscale percentile = 3

Heh. It almost makes me want to believe in the value of IQ tests!

(edit) Sarcasm! If it wun't obvious.

You appear to have an average vocabulary. While you know the meaning of some difficult words, your vocabulary is still somewhat limited. Remember that by expanding your vocabulary, you will be better able to communicate and understand the written word. Fortunately, with practice, and by expanding your reading materials and making a conscious effort to learn new words, your vocabulary can gradually increase.

...I swear, some of those "words" were not words. If no one says it ever, then it's not a word. It may be archaic, it may just be made up. In the case of archaic, I don't think that anyone would argue that "thede" is still a word. It's not.

Taking this test while half asleep was a poor decision, haha. Too many wooooords....

I agree with the sentiment, although an extensive test of vocabulary should probably involve knowledge of the etymological roots of words.

The words on the test are used so occasionally that there are some I have only seen once in my life. Considering that I'm hyperlexic and have been reading obsessively since age three or four... that's kind of ridiculous.

score 123
percentile 95

I'm a wordy little thing. Hyperlexic and old, which means I have read an awful lot of text. Even so, I don't remember everything or I'd be higher up than 95 percentile.

One question almost stopped me cold because I was laughing. I figured everybody on this board must have gotten that question right. It was the one where if you are in a group and are not loquacious, people will think you are not congenial. There have been a lot of threads where people were miffed about just exactly that assumption. Some of these threads may have used "loaquacious" and "congenial" too, although I wouldn't swear to it.

That's pretty impressive, but it's only an online test, so I don't trust it too heavily...

Honestly, I encountered a number of words I didn't know on the test. When it was at all possible, I made educated guesses.

My score was like that. It's too long to take again. I think with my dyslexia/bad short term memory I have great difficulty expanding my vocabulary.
