    I just took one, and scored 123. Without any idea about how this related to other people I looked up the normal distribution graph on wiki for it, and soon saw that I'm about 1.5 standard deviations from the average! However this was via a facebook application so I have significant doubts about its accuracy. Anyone take similar tests, and if so what scores did you get?</p>

    I took one on facebook and i think i got a 151. I call BS on the facebook test though. Im assuming the IQ test basically tells you your intelligence level and how far potentially your intelligence can go. At least, thats what i always assumed it was. My friend took the same test and he got the same score, and Im like wTF because he's a class A idiot while i know im not.</p>

    150? Ok thanks guys, I know now that these are complete BS. Don't get the wrong idea now! I'm not saying you guys aren't geniuses, but 150 is 3 and a third standard deviations from the mean. Thats unbelievably high, you guys would be in the top .03% of humanity. Sorry, but I guess neither of us know our IQ scores.</p>

    I get the sense that a lot of these online IQ sites give you higher scores/easier tests for a reason. You get a high score and start to feel proud and then they hit you with the "for only x-dollars you can buy our premium testing service with more in depth IQ testing, personality profiling, etc., etc."</p>

    If they gave everyone their real scores (between 80-114 is considered average intelligence) I doubt people would be encouraged to buy into these other packages being offered.</p>

    I don't believe in IQ testing anyways.</p>
