htcz Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hey Im wondering if it is possible to take a official IQ test somewhere and check scores. I rather it be online for privacy issues. Im hoping it is free. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted December 10, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted December 10, 2011 If you want to take an official test, you'll want to do it in the real world, not online. For what it's worth though, you don't want to bother with an IQ test. I'm pretty sure no one takes the tests seriously, with the exception of the elitists like Mensa. Intelligence can't be given a number, and it's too broad an area to be put in to a test. 300z 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Ferson Veteran Posted December 10, 2011 Veteran Share Posted December 10, 2011 I don't think it's possible to get an actual IQ test online, and IQ is a very subjective thing like Intrinsica said. You could take one of the personality tests though since there are plenty using the Briggs-Myer system, but that doesn't reflect IQ. It reflects your personality type, and I suppose that's maybe the closest thing you can get online. Even then the longest one I could find, which was 72 questions wouldn't guarantee you fit with any of the personalities entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohitster Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 This one comes pretty close - but still not an official one! But it's definitely fun! :D http://www.iqtest.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's definitely fun! :D http://www.iqtest.com/ Heh, I went through that one clicking random options in about five minutes, but to actually see a detailed analysis of your results you have to pay, unfortunately. You can get the IQ score if you use EmailSensei or one of the other spam addresses, but you can't get the analysis without paying $10. I don't even want to take an IQ test seriously, but that was cool to see something fairly decent appears online. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ferson Veteran Posted December 10, 2011 Veteran Share Posted December 10, 2011 WOW that page is hard lol.... Haha, the formatting isn't the greatest but it's very interesting to try the test. I've done it three times in the past 18 months or so just to see if my results change and I've always got the same personality according to it. Mine is INTJ, if you're bothered.

primexx Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 you can only get "official" tests done with someone actually trained to administer it, usually a psychologist. For what it's worth though, you don't want to bother with an IQ test. I'm pretty sure no one takes the tests seriously, with the exception of the elitists like Mensa. Intelligence can't be given a number, and it's too broad an area to be put in to a test. hah. every time someone mentions iq tests there's always the obligatory "don't bother it's useless anyways". it's repeated so often without any discussion of why exactly this is so, it almost sounds like an excuse people use to make themselves feel better. there are many concerns about iq tests, of course, just like there are critiques of anything in science, by science. there is a huge amount of literature questioning whether iq tests really do measure what we consider to be "intelligence" very accurately, or whether it measures all of "intelligence" or only a subset of very specific skills that western society have come to value above other forms of intelligence. and of course specific issues with specific tests. however, to dismiss them as completely useless is to ignore that it correlates very well (or at least far beyond chance) to so many other things that there's at least something interesting going on there that we should be examining (and people do study these things). there's also something to be said for the fact that it is standardized, which can't be said of the vast majority of tests administered. we might not know exactly why or even if it's directly related to what people generally associate iq with, the relationship is certainly nowhere near as strong as the general perception, but there's enough of a correlation that it could be interesting to take a test provided that you're aware of what exactly it means and doesn't mean. This one comes pretty close - but still not an official one! But it's definitely fun! :D http://www.iqtest.com/ took a look, that is nowhere close to the common tests. i doubt a wall of true/false questions will be anywhere near accurate. My Result: 130 Guess I am average. 130 on one of the common tests would put you at about 2std above average. aka top 2% On topic: Thanks to everyone. I imagine there isnt a "official" one and that most IQ tests are pointless and, moreso, each use a difference score system. It was just out of curiousity. the scoring system doesn't matter, it's all arbitrary. for standardized tests (proper ones) what matters is the percentile, which you can compare across tests.

Ambroos Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 If you want to do a real one, get a psychologist. I could do one for free at school last year because I failed my exams quite unexpectedly. If you just want one done it could be quite expensive. Privacy shouldn't be an issue as you should always get an IQ test done by someone you don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googintosh Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have never come across any scientific literature that said a standardized IQ tests quantified a person's all encompassing intelligence. Rather, it quantifies somelevel of cognitive ability, and is a good predictor of academic success. Agreed with everything Primexx said. You're not going to find one online because a psychologist needs to administer the test. There are portions of the test that require verbal interaction with the administrator. IIRC, it's going to be in the $500-$800 range CDN, depending on the firm I suppose. Personality tests, like the Myers-Briggs tests are a joke, no better than astrology.
