These online IQ tests are a joke. But some of the ones you are referring to are even worse than what I've seen before. I followed one of your links, and the questions are like this: "How many states are there in the US?" "Who was the 16th president of the US?" "What is the capital of California?" Those types of questions are nothing close to testing for IQ. Those are purely trivia questions. Ask yourself this question: Do you think that somebody from, say, India can't have a high IQ because they might not know the answers to those questions which obviously have a bias? PS. Not to be an ass or anything, but based on this thread alone, I think you're a bit off from Mensa material.
I took a real, live 3hr, multiple-section and -input IQ test as a kid. I guess in Portland in the early 80's they were subscribing a lot more to that. It got me skipped through a couple of grades and into one of those "Talented and Gifted" classes when I moved to Germany. Socially and physically it kind of sucked. But it seems to me that online IQ tests are about the same as online porn...a fake approximation of something much more stimulating and complex that makes those who want instant gratification feel better.
If you read my post you'd have seen I said that that test was not legitimate. Just a scam to try to get you to sign up for a new ringtone or something. That was the one though, that got me thinking and looking into other tests. That one is only 10 questions long (so clearly not good) and IT HAS A QUESTION/ANSWER WRONG. It says that a "Right Angle" isn't 90 degrees, if you actually do the test until the last question. Here's what I said: So yeah, of course that test is shit. I'm talking about the other ones that try to get you recognize patterns (I recognized one as the Fibonacci sequence on one question) and other stuff. That test is crap...pretty sure I put that disclaimer in before.
Really? Because I'm pretty sure that's what you were intentionally doing by throwing that statement into the end of the post. Seeing how this thread has turned into a pissing match...I might as well tell everyone that I have a 10 inch dick also. Ask your wife for verification.
That's a really stupid post man! The capital of India is Indianapolis!!!!!! I know your new dogg, but you have to step your game up!
New? Please. I've been around these parts since the Fanhome days. I remember when you were only this high (while pinching your cheek).
