This IQ test takes no prisoners. There are 40 questions and you have 40 minutes to finish it. It gives you your score at the end.

I got 118. Guess I'm not Mensa material....

I have to admit mine was a 116... but I stand behind the fact I'd do better if I didn't have an 18 year old emo girl IMing me at the same time.

Too much blood flowing to the other brain?

I'm with Hutzal at 110. I blame the fact that I didn't guess well.

Speaking of Mensa, though, I was appalled when I heard that you have to pay to take their IQ test. That seems like the real IQ test right there, whether or not you're willing to pay for an IQ test.

AN IQ test is a lot more than just pattern recognition. So I would not say this is a real IQ test. My 10 year old son scored 137 because he is particularly gifted at visual-spatial cognition. However, that does not mean that he would score 137 on the WAIS.

Yeah, I've done a lot better on other so-called IQ tests with a broader range of problems, but on the other hand, it should probably be depressing if I ever score high on a test, since I'm just sitting on whatever potential it's indicating, anyway.

Shall I even up that 2 point discrepancy with this cross-peen hammer?

Not one of my favorite tests, though... I think reasoning and spatial perception should be a bigger part than pattern matching, which this one catered to... the CSI types would do well on this one I think.

I've noticed that the Mensa tests also are big on the patterns. When I was growing up in the '70s, I would go through my parents' old Reader's Digests and do the "Are You a Genius?" quizzes that Mensa would provide.

My wife is a psychometrist (cool word!) and can tell you all you need to know about the WAIS and WISC. But the real reason I married her is her in-depth knowledge of the Woodcock-Johnson.
