Yumm, I'm gifted. I think I should take it again. I got a 131 in Aug. I should of gotten smarter since than. Unless all the caffine and drugs killed brain my cells

The test is definitely wrong. There is no way that I would be in the top 4%. I may be a bit above average, but nowhere "gifted". The test seemed too easy compared to the typical IQ tests that I have seen. I also don't think that it was long enough, so if you guessed correctly a couple times, then your score would be much higher. I wonder if the test changes. If so, I bet that you couldn't get the same score twice. I should take a "real" IQ test sometime and compare them. I would think that it would come in around 115 (slightly above average).

my last test about 2 years ago showed 139 which is what I've been most of life...

I think the only problem with the tests were that they weren't timed like the real ones. Like was said by a couple people before.
The other tests on the site are cool and neat. I took like 10 of them in Aug. I was bored

There is a fine line between genius and insanity. That could explain things.
Now this test is slanted in favour of higher scores. You'd have to be a real dopey to score below hundred on this one. Logical, 'cause the aim of the test is to get you to purchase their "extensive analysis", something which people with lower scores aren't too eager to do.

It should be noted as well that a true IQ test should indeed be timed and has way more questions. It should take about one hour to complete and have more than 100 questions.
Also, in theory, your IQ is immuable. You cannot, in theory again, become more intelligent nor less intelligent. You are born with it, just like your hair colour or your skin complexion. You can gain more knowledge, but that is not what an IQ test should measure. It should measure your ABILITY to gain knowledge (AKA your intelligence), not the knowledge you have at the moment.
But, having said that, it has been shown that some people can learn to do well on IQ tests, therefore the test would not actually measure your IQ but your ability to answer an IQ test.

Only the top 2% are allowed into Mensa. The test is 2hrs long, taken under normal exam conditions. There are a set number of questions in each section to be answered within a time limit. That's the key to IQ, most people would get most of the questions right with no time limit; it's all about solving problems as fast as possible. IQ is also dependent on age, you kinda slow down a bit as you get older.... On my official entry exam for Mensa I scored 164. Initially I was disappointed with that because at about 23 I took the unofficial Mensa test and scored 181. Only later did I find out that 164 was close to maximum for my age. It also allows me to join the 1000th percentile club.
But is it useful for anything? Dunno, I do the dumbest things at times, so it doesn't help there. The only things I have noticed are negative. Quite often when people find you are in Mensa you get instant resentment back. The more intelligent you are the more frustrating things are because you know you should be able to understand things better but can't. Then there's the constant feeling of wanting to strive for something better but knowing it will never happen.
Must be nice to be dim and not have a care in the world

Paxx,
What you say is true in theory, but I believe intelligence, or thinking ability, can atrophy with lack of use just like a muscle can.
At one time I tested into TOPS (Mensa's for dummies) but would be surprised if I could do so today. (I didnt join.) Maybe you are correct and the native intelligence is still in me somewhere, but I sure feel stupid compared to where I once was. Certainly a loss of knowledge - maybe that's just what makes me feel less intelligent.
And for Aqua - Your school math scores most likely mean nothing. I failed most classes and didnt even graduate with my class and I easily had the highest IQ is the class (at a highly academic private school). It was actually kinda funny. I was brought into the office and an administrator tried to explain to me that I shouldnt be getting the grades I was getting considering I outscored the rest of the class on the recent testing. The humorous part was that she was explaining this to me like I was an idiot - because of my grades - while she's telling me I was the "smartest". "Smartest"? Like others have mentioned - why doesnt that translate into success or happiness?

Congratulations, BoXXi!
Your IQ score is 120
This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Emode's Ultimate IQ test.
The even better news is that at Emode, we've taken your IQ test one step further. During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We were able to analyze how you did on each set of those questions, which allows us to shed light on the way your brain uniquely functions.
At the same time, we compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is an Insightful Linguist.
The first thing we can tell you about that is you have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. But that's just scratching the surface
Blah Blah Blah.........................................

Mensa... interesting...
164? That is high.
Didn't Einstien fail math in Highschool?
Didn't Jordan miss 4,504 a season?
Why is it that the greatest leaders seem to have the greatest quarks?

Ever wish this board had a "Delete Post" option? I feel like an idiot after rereading my post. Dont think it sounded quite the way I meant it.

One of the first jobs I had was at a state institution for "the mentally retarded" (they would never get away with that name these days). On some days one of my biggest challenges was to keep the guy I was "responsible for" from digging the sealing putty from around the windows or the soft asphalt from the side of the road and modeling it into animal shapes (no matter he was superb). On other guys it was keeping the guy who was fixated on the piano away from it (no matter that he could play by ear classical pieces heard only once). I felt more and more ashamed at my job and quit after a time.
Later on, laws changed. The institutions opened up and let their people go. I moved to Hawaii and one day I pick up the newspaper and read of a young 'idiot savant' who could mold the most detailed, accurate, and beautiful likenesses out of any medium. This young man was well on the way to being a millionaire.
Our history is full of great thinkers who think so far out of the boxes that they fail miserably at IQ tests. Some have been classified as retarded and locked away.
I found this quote today, it seems apt.... Capture accidents. The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question. Collect wrong answers as a part of the process. Ask different questions. Bruce Mou

I guess my point is that we exclude too much from our lives by defining anything too strictly or by making it too important.
