Actually, I think that the younger the mind, the higher the IQ. Lil' kiddies just don't know how to use it to the fullest.

i don't believe in those iq-tests. i've got various scores in different times starting from 118 to 165 in a period of five years or so... the last i did was on the page www.highiqsociety.com, there i got 128. it's fun, but not something to depend your life on...

i took many test. But i finished only one. 122. But i don't take them serious. The ideea is that what you really think is all it matters. Serial killers got at iq tests 145. But that doesn'y mean they are smart. They are quite stupid...
So let's forget about this. I like most of you because you are calm, don't look down at the new people or things like that. Maybe all this sounds kind of stupid, but for me is very important.
The most important thing is not to forget at we really are: humans.

Consis -- the garbage is where that IQ result belongs. Based on your writing style it is clear to me that you are extremely right-brained and a non-linear thinker. IQ tests tend to focus on a specific style of thought, and it is not always the style which the individual taking the test embodies. For instance, Indians tend to think universally; white males tend to think linearly (with the left side of the brain), females in most cultures tend to think cyclically but excel in math if exposed to it, artists tend to think in concepts and not words (with the right brain), and so on.
I took an IQ test when I was about 9 and scored 90. I was still extremely affected by dyslexia and the substance of the test was somewhat culturally unfamiliar to me. I took another in highschool and scored 142, despite that when I graduated my reading level was scored at only the third grade (again, dyslexia). I took the national television IQ test they aired last fall and scored 138 -- one point below the guy in the "mad scientist" studio control group who scored the highest of all the control group subjects.
Each test had a different structure and focus.
My guess is that if you have difficulty deciphering the substance of test questions that you also suffer from dyslexia, attention deficit disorder or some other version of symbolic processing deficit. I have thought that in the past just reading your posts because of the non-linear, highly charged shot-gun blast of information that tends to come from most of them. It is clear, however, that you're very intelligent based on your use of the written word.

Well, let me tell you about that. The test can't be wrong, can it?
But I read somewhere that there are many kinds of intelligence. (logical, emotional, reasoning...) Obviously, as Peacemaker said, that test was aimed to determine only one of those types of intelligence. And as far as I'm concerened, that score doesn't say a damn thing about how smart you are. It only determines a small part of your brain capacity, and it has nothing to do with stupidity. If it was a math test or similar, and Consis isn't good at maths, then it's no big deal.

It's a measure of how smart you are. However, judging by Consis' report, it's not all that accurate.
That explains my score pretty well...

Misdirected Focus
Most of you don't seem to understand the real issue here. You people seemed to be focused on whether I made the score that I said or not. If you don't believe me that's fine. You all are missing the bigger picture.
The point is that the test means nothing to me any longer. The memory is vivid but the impact was same had it been some other test of life.
Since that time I have made it through a countless number of trying experiences and tests that pressed the strength of my will, conviction, and beliefs.
That test was like any other time in a person's life when a person is made to feel like they are inadequate in some way. Sometimes people are made to feel worthless. It happens to most of us. It's similar to being pushed to the ground by a force larger and stronger than yourself. When you are pushed you trip, fall, and land in a puddle of filthy mud. The question is, what will you do when you fall and splatter the mud all over your nice clothes? Will you endure the pain, get up, brush yourself off, and move on with your life? Or will you remain a victim of consequence, sit there covered in filth, and wonder 'why did it have to happen to you'?
Everyone will face challenges everyday. How will they react to it? They can choose to have courage and strength or they can let it dominate their life and live a despairing existence.
Even if I took the test again today it would tell me nothing. I have grown a lot since then. I have been through a lot. Today I feel strong because of the people I support. They love me and I love them. There is no test, or anything for that matter, that can take that away from me.
It feels good to hear how highly some of you think of me but I won't let it go to my head. I remain grounded by my family and experiences.
I would like to tell anyone who reads this to remember that your life is not determined by some test you take when you're young and fragile. If you remember to be a good friend and help other people when you can then you are a very smart person. There is no piece of paper that can ever take that away from you.

And the accuracy is not all that great indeed. As far as I know, a person with an IQ of 62 is not capable of mastering a spoken language, let alone a written language.

ah hello you people put to much faith in the iq test no scientist, neuro specialist, shrink, or otherwise can give you a true definition of what your intelligence is. what causes your IQ, if it can be increased/decreased, where in the brain is intelligence found, or even how to test for it.
Those IQ test are simpley approximation based on a theory, that approximatley sums up the human mind something that we know next to nothing about.
all an IQ test does is make a guess based on a guess which is based on a guess which is based on a subject the best expert knows very little about.
you could get zero or infinity (anybody know how to get that as a symbol through keyboard short cuts) and it would be meaningless.
(wow amazing for once there is something resembling correct puncation in one of my post look at the nice . , )

I don't consider mysefl a very inteligent person, because I don't like to act like one (teling everyone what to do, what is write and what is wrong), but every IQ test I participated to showed me that I am smarter than most of the peoples.

IQ is nothing. The only thing it does is determine how "good" you are at "logical thinking". Perhaps that's why the smartest persons I've ever met has low IQ. There are all sorts of intelligence, you know. I probably have a low IQ, but that does not make me stupid.
