Damn, I must be dumb:

Here's what it said for me-


The Ultimate IQ Test

Congratulations, nicholas!
Your IQ score is 122

This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Emode's Ultimate IQ test.

The even better news is that at Emode, we've taken your IQ test one step further. During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We were able to analyze how you did on each set of those questions, which allows us to shed light on the way your brain uniquely functions.

At the same time, we compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is an Inventive Inquisitor.

The first thing we can tell you about that is you're equally good at mathematical and verbal skills and have a thirst for learning through experience. But that's just scratching the surface.

the same as everyone else

but I was not sure what I was suppose to be doing (and it is known that nonperonalised tests suck)

also, having things based on color sucks (for the colorblind)

since it claimed to be a personality test also, I was not sure if some of the verbal questions were suppose to be answered by what we thought or by what sort of saing they were

There seems to be a cap of accuracy on this one at ~136. IQ tests aren't accurate over the range of the entire human population. I answered all the questions randomly (1st choice) and got an 88. This would indicate that the test was geared for those of slightly higher-than-average IQs (~115?) and is accurate over a ~25 point total range (assuming it's accurate at all, which is questionable). Most IQ tests are designed better than this, and can deal effectively with a 50 point range.

BTW, the time I took a real, full-blown IQ test administered by a psychologist, a major determining factor in my score was the time it took me to do whatever I was supposed to do ("You solved that Rubik's Cube in two minutes, loinburger, which translates to an IQ of roughly 85. Congratulations!"). I assume that this is standard practice, so any IQ test that fails to time you is questionable to begin with...

Seems more accurate than most other online IQ tests I've taken. Not too far off the results of the 2 "real" IQ tests I've been given. I'm sure whatever "Visionary Philosopher" means isn't worth $15. I'd be interested to know what the "max" IQ score is on this test.

Exactly, loinburger. If I had the time I could get 100% on the thing.

I was hoping it wasn't timed doing it because I actually stopped to get some instant soup downstairs about half way through and talked to people on ICQ a bit, as well as watching one of my favorite TV shows.

I agree with KrazyHorse. I'd be curious what I got wrong, but there were too few questions and about 50% of them were beyond easy.

Well, there were all those questions like "A bird in the hand is worth..."
1) A kick in the ass
2) A few beers
3) Poop on your hand
4) True
5) Banana

A lot of those seemed more like "Poorly written personality-related questions" than "Poorly written IQ-related questions."
