hehehe, I never really quite worried about it. Just noticed a trend and didn't like it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anyone take the genius test on the Ultimate IQ test thing? That thing hurts my brain, and I gave up after a couple of questions because I really didn't want to think about it.
If you guys haven't already go to a psychologist and get a REAL IQ test... not these supid online tests....
That fox show was so stupid... the amount of difference between zodiac signs, gender, etc. was so small that it was laughable... I mean do you go walking down the street: "oh look at that guy.. he must have an IQ which is about 2 points less than mine... sucker.."
It really doesn't matter since IQ tests only compare you to other people your age, using a standardized curve...it doesn't test "real" knowledge, just how good you are at taking the test compared to other people in your age category

You know, after I take internet tests I'm used to having a copiable 'html snippet' that you can include in your webpage or whatever.
Ultimate IQ test doesn't give you one of those <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anyway, I got a 151 (supposedly) which marks me as one in 1000, or in the .1 percentile.
Actually, if you think about it, 1 out of 1000 isn't really that great if you think about all the morons in the world. I want to be a universal genius and be 1 in 5,000,000 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
However, according to the Correlating IQ Score to SAT I Score table, I should've gotten 1587 on my SAT I, but I didn't... I got a 1500, which correlates to only a 144 IQ <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Weird. I didn't like the SATs anyway, and the Ultimate IQ test *did* make my brain hurt.. although I completed it in just under 25 minutes. If I couldn't figure out a question in a minute or two I just guessed <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Could be, But I just say that as you get older, you care less and less.

I would rather take a test to see how well I could adapt to a situation, that is the true test of intellegence.
Edit: The last IQ test I took was when I was 24. I got a 178. I very much doubt that's my real IQ though.
Oh, and on the regular test I got a 136.
I mean how can you grade the intelligence of someone based on a number?

(btw i'm certified 151)
