139 apparently, but that test is ridiculously easy so.....idk


It's all about figuring out patterns as fast as you can.

That could explain the inflated scores here (beyond the explanation that this test is just an ego-stoker). Survey a bunch of people who have spent hours and hours learning how to identify and memorize patterns.

EXACTLY.

And that's why this is stupid. It tests one very specific skill, rather than even approaching a comprehensive view of intelligence. And no test in existence is particularly adequate at that... Yet alone a silly internet test with 20 spatial reasoning and math questions. 

All this tells anyone is who is good at this one particular thing... And it's not even a very useful thing.

in line with your actual IQ? You do realize that a 200 is 1 in 76 billion. right which would pretty much make you the smartest person that has ever lived. Even if you drop it down to 180 that would make you one of the 300 smartest people in the world (1 in 20 million)  

Even freaken Albert Einstein had a 160..... darwin 165.... Galilei was like 185 (so fucking smart)

Just saying anyone over 150 and you are considered a genious (which you may be not saying your not, stupid people dont get hooked a sales forums, well mostly not...)

Those estimates for historical figures are completely rubbish, you know. :P

As for myself, yeah, I know it's very rare. But I don't think much of it, either. I was classified as a savant in spatial reasoning as a child, so these math and picture problems go by extremely easily for me. That's the reason that people with my unusual syndrome break IQ tests... They test something pretty specific.

And that's also why I don't think they're very good tests at all.

makes sense. I would not be suprised if their were not several "genious" level IQ on VGC. Like I said "normal" people are not fascinated with things like videogame sales... lol.   I am no genious, but if I remember correctly  my scores were considered "highly gifted"



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

You're not fooling anyone.  It's IMPOSSIBLE to get a legitimate 200 on this test.  I have an official IQ or 155 with strengths in Maths and Reading (153 according to this test) and the highest I managed to get whilst KNOWING all the answers and clicking as fast as I could was 178.

You would have to have the ability to see into the future, super human reflexes, and the worlds fastest internet to get a 200 without cheating. 



...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.

"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"

146 according to this very pathetic test done by only 20 questions on the internet. That's around 20 points higher than my actual IQ, I know my actual IQ as I was tested when I was younger. And I guessed a few to get it over with.



Hmm, pie.

No need to brag about IQ, usually people with high IQ don't do that :P
Online tests, let alone free ones, aren't accurate anyways and contain more questions with multiple possible interpretations for correct answers than what is good for measuring.
Also, different regions use different ranges to determine IQ. 150+ is pretty much impossible (unmeasurable, it's a relative score so you need relations before measuring) in most of Europe (using Standard Deviation), for example, while other countries use a different range. Also, education is definitely important as it compares you to the right group of people to get the correct relation = IQ. So this test is pretty much bollocks. It may hit quite accurate numbers but it's way too fuzzy.

You people are taking this too serious, just play the game( at least I think it is), you can just pass by if you think this is just ridiculous.

The BBC years ago did a 'National IQ Test' programme, which was all well and good but part of the test had phrase parts. Many of this I struggled on as I'd never heard the phrases before, certainly not regional ones. That's nothing to do with IQ, it's to do with knowledge. Even in this pathetic one there were a few words ones but rearraging the letters for form England makes no sense if your native language you call it Angleterre.



Hmm, pie.

Got some wrong because english is not my native language (never heard twig before).... Also couldn't figure out the Ralphie likes one.. crap.
