Let's just say my IQ is 150 because I say it is. The last "real" test I took when I was in school I was in the 130's. I'm not counting inaccurate online tests which I usually score higher.

136. Visionary Philosopher.

Partial description of Visionary Philosopher:

"Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or anticipate what should come next in just about any situation."


Hmmm... I do tend to be pretty good at this kind of thing, it's one of my major strengths when playing Civ-type strategy games...

Apart from that, I don't trust this test too much either, and I certainly won't pay money for the full report. It was kind of fun though.

Well I'm a Visual Mathematician, so.. a logical artist? lol


The people who run this site are idiots, they're obviously trying to suck a bit of money off people, but the people with a high IQ are going to know that and not pay anything.

But it's quite irrelevant because most of the questions were very easy.

I got 115 btw.

snOOpy, i think you will find people with high IQ's are just as venal and concieted as the rest of us (probally more so)

Does anyone else think these tests may score people artifically high, so that some saddoes pay for a certificate showing they have genius levels IQ's??

PS.. it took me two tries to get off the opening screen, i forgot to put my gender and then location, so much for a 134 IQ!!!!

It would seem that way. I thought only about 5% of the population had an IQ of 130+. I'm sure the average Apolyton user is a bit above the norm, but not by that much.

Your IQ score is 134

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 Insightful Linguist.

The first thing we can tell you about that is you have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. But that's just scratching the surface.

Your IQ score is 133

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 a ual Mathematician.

The first thing we can tell you about that is you have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information. But that's just scratching the surface.

Lower than the 140 I almost always get, but I'm just bad with expressions.

Well, this is the first IQ test I've done in a very, very long time, and I can't remember what it was last time...
And I'd better be an Insightful Linguist, after all, I am a linguist.

Is the average IQ at Apolyton really around 130, or are all the people with less too intimidated to post theirs (or even take the test).

133 and Visionary Philosopher, but I don't think much of their test. A couple of their problems had multiple possible solutions, for one.

Anyway, if you're up for a challenge try one of these (although they're mostly pay-to-grade):

Test for Genius

The Test to End all Tests

The Final Test

The Mega Test, note this one has been normed multiple times.

The Titan Test

And some free ones in a different vein:

The Chimera Oblique Riddle Exam

The Chimera High Ability Riddle Test

Chimera Analogies Test

Word Classification Test

i refuse to try this test, because how can they possibly have a mathematical equation to figure intelligence if their signup program keeps telling me that being born on April 15th, 1984 makes me under fifteen and not eligible for the test.

That was too easy. I bet they just give everyone a high IQ to try to get them to buy their crap. Someone should go through and answer everything wrong, just to see what they get.

Hmm. Got 164 out of 200 questions right on the vocab test that Wraith posted. Not bad, if I do say so myself. A nice and nasty test, although the chancy nature of the guesses can play with the scores a bit I suspect.

UberKruX, re your sig: So what did the Civ3 AI do this time, and what would it get it on an IQ test like this?
