all I know is that I took an IQ test in middle school once and got a 160 on it, so I don't trust them anymore for obvious reasons. :Vblurfbreg wrote:There's actually a debate on the external validity of an IQ test. Some say that it tests your intelligence. Some say it isn't comprehensive enough. Some say that EQ is a better measure for the purposes of why people want to know someone's intelligence. Some say that the results may only mean what it means: how well you do on an IQ test (which could just be academic information). So... don't think too much about it.nomemory wrote: Did an IQ test online today. I do not trust it's result but it did come from a magazine that I do trust so I thought I could trust it to some extent. But after seeing the result I am not so sure any more. I got the result 120, which I really doubt, but here is the weirdest thing. It said that the normal points on the memory part was 10 and I got 13. What's up with that? The memory part was really, really hard too and it felt like I failed a lot. But apparently not as much as I thought.
Though, if you take them as a growing up kid, it's bound to skew your results as not all kids grow at the same rate anyway. But I will say that though I've never taken an EQ test, it probably is a somewhat better measure to go by.
