Re: Question about IQ's LOL....
I don't think those online tests are totally accurate. The only accurate test is one given by a pyschologist or some other trained professional who can correctly administer the test and intrepret the results.
According to the online test I should be at a university somehwere pontificating on the meaning of life!!! I scored 158!!!

Re: Question about IQ's LOL....
Being a psychologist, I can tell you that the tests on line aren't really accurate. A real IQ test can only be given to you by someone who knows how to do it and the stuff they test is completely different from whats on the internet tests. What is considered normal is dependent on what test you are given, but generally anywhere from 89-109 is normal or average. Hope this helps....
the standard deviation of IQ is 15 points...so average would be 85-115...above average 115-130...130-145...145-160 - genius...if it is a true bell curve... then there should be VERY few people in the 145-160 (1.5-2% of population - if I remember my statistics right) and a MINUTE percentage over 160
