..and wake up with the Pillowcase of Turin ;)

It scored me at 131 and labeled me an "intuitive linguistic," which is no doubt why I became an accountant. that and Dad secretly hates me.

Note to self: astringent != eye makeup remover. When you are that tired, just sleep in your damn mascara.

Yeah, so it seems that the math-heads only score 'average' while the deep thinkers score higher... and yet, the highest-ever recorded IQs are usually people who can do massively complex math problems in their head.
Yeah, I'm with Wakboth. It DID seem a bit easy, and if you wanted proper analyses they ask you to pay for it.

Or I could just be bitter that the test didn't credit ME any kind of artistic strength when I draw a frigging COMIC for a living ;p...

The test called me a "Visionary Philosopher", which sounds neat but doesn't probably mean much.

I've never really trusted these IQ tests; they seem too easy, as if the test makers were trying to sell a lot of personalized intelligence analyses, or something.

But if you people get results consistent with the "real tests", maybe these things really work.

Wait wait, you don't think those endless Saturday morning tests were IQ tests do y'all? I thought it was just to determine the extent of my ADD. Once I fell asleep after completing a math test, and apparently the mirror in the room was to have the two therapists and my parents watching me. They later laughed that they literally watched me sleep while they discussed my mental health. I mean hell, it was 9am, it was Saturday, it was math, who WOULDN'T fall asleep? Sonufabeech... now I have to call mom and ask her exactly WHAT Transact was. For all I know it could be one of those government-funded drug testing places... they DID put me on Ritalin for many years (not that I complain, I loved that drug). Cripes, a guinea pig and I wasn't even TOLD!

I read in a time-life book (my favorites when little) that 100 was average, then heard somewhere that 120 was average. so i wasn't overtly excited when the psychologist last year told me it was 125. i liked that test, had to arrange cubes in shapes, find out what was missing in pics and such. when i was little i was classified as gifted, and told i was mentally 4 years older. i think that's why now mental age fluctuates wildly (just came back from buying and playing with pokemon cards) this time?:

Your IQ score is 127

Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

i didn't quite like this test as much, too much math. *shrugs* are your cats hugger or muggers?

Deb:
100 is average. Only smart people visit thoughtviper.com!
150 is literally Genius. I believe you need at least 130 to join Mensa and be a snob.

Current winner is Wakboth with 147, but a member of the Finno-Ugric language group who speaks flawless English is going to be extremely smart anyway.

I don't remember getting any description of my results. I also didn't get the test's promised follow-up email. Possibly I typed my email address in wrong, which proves that you can be book smart and rock stupid simultaneously.

I got a 131... I'm a Word Warrior! "This means you have exceptional verbal skills. You can easily make sense of complex issues and take an unusually creative approach to solving problems. Your strengths also make you a visionary. Even without trying you're able to come up with lots of new and creative ideas."

I suck at math though. Man. I'd like to know which ones I got wrong, y'know? I need to see where my logic was flawed.

I have to say, the COUNTLESS psych tests I had to take as a child/preteen in my "counselling" sessions probably helped with the visual tests. So. Score for semi-abusive child psychologists!

I got 127, too. The maths questions were easy, but I'm guessing I missed a few of the 'complete the quote' ones ;)
I'm a Precision Processor. Yup, thas me - disgustingly sensible ;)

133, and it says I'm highly visual and literate. Keen.

I got a 120 on the IQ test. I don't think I've ever taken an IQ test before. What's average?

Hey, Thoughtty! I just got my $13.86 check yesterday! IN YOUR FACE, RIAA!

Now... if they lost a suit for unfair pricing practices, why aren't the CDs I see in stores any less expensive?

Good Gonter! "Find Your Own Truth"... I wonder how Davey types with one hand always stroking himself.

Gonter-fic: Bill, a couple of titles you might want to try google-ing with 'Gonterman', see if they're the ones:
'The Gatemaster'
'Find your own truth'

Hrrm. Whatever it is, there's a good chance that I have it in my Pile O' Gontercrap zip disc (which I keep in a sealed environment). If you can remember anything about it, I can try looking it up.

I just recently updated that disc with a ton of his latest... stuff. Yeesh, he's doing the same thing now that he was 10 years ago. Same ripoff NIMH & CDRR characters, same self-insertion... at least he's not as much the center of the universe as he was in, say, The Mobius Chronicles.
