That test is really really stupid and not worth looking at, which can be seen from the first page. 138

Yeah, if that's the case my score is 126. 136-10 for not finding the damn link. I wonder which question I missed.

That means there's only one question (2 points) I answered wrong. Oh well, another point to prove that Tickle tests suck.

I liked how 4 of the question were "How well do I know Oscar Wilde Quotes?"

Most of them are easy to answer just using logic, but I agree that there's no place for specific knowledge in an IQ test.

Your IQ score is 135! "You have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information and this, combined with your logical mind, means you are a Visual Mathematician. You can manipulate multiple parts of the picture (or problem) to come up with a solution and can understand the "big picture," which is partly why people may turn to you for direction. Like Einstein, your ability to detect patterns and your skills in maths and logic, make it natural for you to come up with ideas and theories that simplify processes for everyone." Not bad. Although I tend to score lower.

I got 117, since I couldn't get past the advert the first time. Anyway this is obviously very unprofessional.

I got a 131. I too think I have seen this before. So I guess I should have gotten a better score;)

140 but it's NOT a valid IQ test.

What is a valid online IQ test anyway? Methinks if they ask for quotes to be completed then a sure sign of intelligence is to look them up. 135 btw., still puzzled about that stupid rose quote... (and how many non-natives know "fallacious"?)

It's a well known fact that "online IQ test" per definition means "bullshit". You won't find a valid one.

Boy, after that HG palava, and Bisqwit's long descrition of fallacies, you'd be surprised how many of us know :). Unfortunately, I can't find the link at the moment.

I'm not a nonnative, but it seems relatively basic to me, I guess since it's related to 'false', which seems to be common in europe. There are thousands of worse words, of course.

true tests have a time limit and no google allowed, don't they ? :) besides, as for non natives, oscar wilde quotes are much harder than vocabulary, such as "fallacious"...

I thought it sounds more like phallus... Maybe I should read more of the off topic ramblings here to extend my vocabulary. :)

135 The hardest question for me was unscrambling GRMANREY or whatever and finding out if it was a country city state animal or what. I've answered country. i have done this test 3 years ago and got 127 then.

There's also the misuse by natives, though. The answer to the question was "false" but that's a wrong answer because a fallacious argument is incorrect (ie, not neccessarily true) but isn't neccessarily false (a fallacious argument can have a true conclusion and still be fallacious).

Got 138. But as others have said, this is not a very valid IQ test. It relies too much on knowledge instead of reasoning. For example, it relies on the test subject knowing what a peach/grape/cherry/etc looks like (or what they are in the first place) before he can make the reasoning step to tell the one which is different. It's also invalid because it relies too much on the previous mathematical experience of the test subject. Someone can be a true genius, but not have any mathematical experience whatsoever, and thus he would score poorly. Also some of the numerical tests are easier for people who do lots of things with computers: For example, such a person sees *immediately* the pattern in a series of numbers which are multiples of 4. Seeing that pattern does not measure IQ, just knowledge and experience. (Btw, what is it with these kinds of sites and cookies? I normally have cookies disabled (except for a whitelist) but this site required them to be enabled. I enabled them temporarily and got at least 10 different cookies from there. Nowadays you can hardly go to *any* site without getting *at least* a half dozen cookies. What's this compulsion about cookies the world seems to have?)
