Brain Dead And Desperate
The other day, a regular employer asked me my IQ. I didn't know. My parents never had me tested, and I never contested the decision. I think their rationale was that an IQ test was an essentially useless metric that had no real bearing on my potential for success in life. Which is kind of what I think.
But since Simon asked me, I've been wondering. So, out of curiosity, I went to a couple online sites to get tested. I scored 141 and 139 at http://www.iqtest.com/ and http://www.iq-testing-online.com/ respectively.
I want to take the Stanford-Binet test, but I can't find a place to take it online or any place in the city that offers a paid sit-down test. I could buy a testing kit, which would allow me to take the test myself and administer the test to people, but that would cost me $1000.
Which I don't want to pay. I nearly didn't pay the $6 required for the second IQ test's results.
The scores I got were about what I expected. Over the course of my life, people have often estimated my IQ in the 'high 130s to mid 140s'.
After taking the test and confirming their suspicions, I don't feel any different. It's about what I expected, plus it's kind of arbitrary. It doesn't measure my ambitions, effort, or amiability, which are all important factors in personal success.
But now I know.
i took IQ tests at six and at seventeen and scored five points less at seventeen than i did at six. take from that what you will.
My shoe size is 10.
when i went crazy in high school they gave me the wais or wexlr, i cant remember. i didnt see the scores, but they did tell me spatial reasoing was borderline retarded!
that was for matching the color tanagrams and crap. but i get to scape goat good old brain tumor for that one.
I haven't slept in about 24 hours, but I just scored 124 at the free one, I'll try doing one sometime when I'm not a zombie.
THis just goes to prove that Stephen's lack of personality and common decency for other human beings has been made irrelevant in light of his enormous powers of logical reasoning and analysis.
I knew this already!
I like IQ tests as well. To me it's like just the way you feel at the moment of testing. Sometimes I do worse and sometimes better with the test scores. The average is like 130.
Leo do you happen to know more iq tests like www.quickiqtest.net? pls let me know,thx.
