IQ test?
 
Has anyone taken a legit iq test? I'm just curious to see how well I can do on one. When you do a google search a bunch come up that seem like they're real free iq tests, but i did like 4 of them and every damn one wants a bunch of private info or money at the end to "get your results" ....I just want to take a legit one thats actually free and will give me the results without all that BS. ::) any ideas?

IQ tests in general are bs imho. they just measure school-ability. high iq != intelligence

IQ testing is not likely a part of any public school's mainstream testing. Mine had to be requested, and then my mom paid for an independent one when the school system provided one missing whole subtests.

Yes and no. IQ testing shows cognitive potential, but intelligence is the development and application of your potentials. It's just like most people are lazy at work and don't any harder than they need to in order to get by, so other people get the promotions and make the big bucks.

I have never taken one could careless but I have seen alot of people I went to school with claiming they scored some super high scores yet they would use my notes,papers etc and I was a sub par student at best who enjoyed the price is right and bong rips . My guess is most of the tests are bullshit and especially the interweb ones

Most people lie.

I think I've dropped my IQ all of once in 12 years of being a dirty interweb -----. As a tool for self-knowledge so you develop your personal strengths it's largely irrelevant to any topic of discussion, unless you want to brag on yourself to a bunch of people who didn't like you anyway before you started bragging.

i was tested multiple times since grade school. median score is 129. i was in the 97th to 99th percentile throughout highschool in sat testing (1440 iirc, i have to look it up), took the john hopkins college entry exam when i was 13 and placed in the upper 57% of the lot of HS seniors. call it bragging, but i'm defending myself. sure, i come off as a dumbass, but the smartocities are always there
