Every time I take an IQ test I get between a 118 and 125. Good enough for me. And I ended up as an automotive electrician...Good job, but really not much technical skill required.

Yeah...It's been hectic the last several weeks. If the band takes off well, I'll quit on the side jobs, it's more a hobby than anything else. Although, it's a hobby I can charge good money for, so I won't give it up completely, just cut it way back. Thankfully I have an understanding wife, and no kids; makes it easier to keep up the pace I keep.
On top of everything else, I was thinking about starting up some Muay Thai classes to get into better shape, but I couldn't figure out a day of the week I would have consistent time to go to classes. I've been burning the candle on both ends, and saving more money than I've been spending, so as hard as it is now. It'll pay off when I get to retire at 50 :wink:

Has anyone here ever had an official IQ test? I always wondered what my real IQ score would be....

I was bored one night and did several online tests and then averaged them together. I came up with 120. I scrub toilets for a living. Your results may vary.

I had to take an IQ test at the age of 11. My subsequent schooling - and ultimately the rest of my life - depended upon it.

I passed. But I don't like that way of dividing up the human race. In my experience few of the important qualities I look for in people have much to do with what an IQ test measures.

Oh, and I clean the toilet regularly. Nothing about passing an IQ test prevents me from doing that - in fact, I regard it as a very smart thing to do. Especially if there's something else I'm meant to be doing instead which I'm putting off. Displacement activity: the mark of a sharp mind. To my way of thinking. Erm...

Cheers - C

The last one I took was in school a couple of years ago. I took it twice and scored 144 and 146. I've always wanted to do a Mensa one, but don't want to shell out the money to be a part of their little club.

There are lots of different ones, but most of them equal about 100 to be the average, i.e the peak of a bell curve.

I wanted to take one on-line but I couldn't find the website because I couldn't figure out how to spell IQ.
