All tests are going to be different though and can be graded differently based on the answers you choose. For instance, the right answer may not be the answer that gives you the most points due to the complex thinking involved with coming to the "wrong" answer you chose...I think I just confused myself .

I scored a 139 on the IQ test I took. Doesn't mean anything though b/c I bought the STS kit for my car, right V6 Bird?

You can score whatever you want on a IQ Test. Doesnt mean you are truly intelligent at picking your weapons. Hence why you chose the STS kit.

Go look at the link in the thread I posted with your name on it.

I scored 138 to 140 depending on which test I take.

A high IQ score just means your good at taking IQ tests and nothing more IMHO.

I scored a 165 on a certified intelligence test years back (not an internet test), but I'm not overly convinced IQ tests prove much. I think true intelligence involves more than what some test can tell you.

I thought IQ tests were only given to children to see how well they were developing? Meaning it's useless to adults.

I took a really long *** one online one time and got a 134. But sonce it was an online one, I'll go ahead and knock off 10-15 points. So I'd say I am around 121. Smarter than the average bear.

BUt you do realize that IQ is not a measure of how currently "INTELLIGENT" you are, but it is a measure of your individual ability to learn new things/skills/systems etc...

I think you kinda "peak" in your mid to late 20's. After that its a mental meltdown, metaphorically of course.

Bought a set of airbags for the formula but I never installed them and put a Spohn drag bar on instead, do you still think I could score high on the test?

The only time that I have seen real testing for adults is if you try to become a member of Mensa. To qualify for Mensa, you must score in the top 2 percent of the general population on a standardized intelligence test. Unfortunately I can not say that I am a member of this group, but my son is in their Gifted Children's Program. At 5 years old he was given the Stanford test and the NNA Test. He scored in the 98% ile.

Mensa people, typically are prodigies working at MIT or Nasa, or those sad ***** who claim to be "starving artists" whom have little to no motivation to put their gifts to good use for mankind. They are ********, and probably have the ghey aids. LOL, thanks christ it is Friday....
