    IQ is arranged on a normal distribution about 100, standard deviation is 12.5ish iirc. anything above 100 is above average, 120 is top 20% of the population (i think), 135ish is top 2%

    working from memory here, been about 9 years since it mattered to me

    Congratulations, Daniel!
    Your IQ score is 131

    I have scored 142 once but it must have been a complete fluke, mine ranges from about 130-135.

    Congratulations, Green!
    Your IQ score is 136

    This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

    Your Intellectual Type is Facts Curator. This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

    somehow i don't think i'll be earning as much as old Bill anytime soon

    Thing about these things is that as a youngish person (like me at 21) even if you get everything right you could stil only have an IQ of 140-145ish, so if you have a higher IQ than that it wont register it.

    Im not trying to say Im a genius, just an observation...

    Could you post your race as well with your score?

    Race and IQ

    The Bell Curve, published in 1994 by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray, created great controversy among the scientific community and the public by suggesting that the average IQ of races differ. They claim that the mean IQ scores of African Americans are one standard deviation (15 points) lower than those of European Americans, and they attribute between 40 - 80% to genetic factors. Critics publicly claimed that their evidence for a 'genetic' factor was exacerbated by the lack of account for some of the social factors believed to determine IQ, such as economic status, stress in environment, and access to education. As a result of the book's controversial claims, Murray received bomb threats and was denounced as a racist by a number of public figures, including Jesse Jackson. In contrast, the majority of intelligence researchers support the non-policy research conclusions made in the Bell Curve (see the Wall Street Journal: "Mainstream Science on Intelligence" below). The book also argues that East Asians and Jews generally have higher IQ than all other races.

    Arthur Jensen was one of the earliest researchers to propose that the IQ gap between blacks and whites is best explained by a hypothesis that attributes at least some of the cause to genetic factors. His 1969 paper in "Harvard Education Review" also stated that compensatory education was not very effective and that "genetic differences were more important than cultural or socioeconomic differences in explaining individual differences in IQ within the white population."

    Many compilations of average IQ by country place East Asian countries at the top of such lists. Some argue that this is in part attributed to some IQ tests' inherent bias towards testing spatial reasoning. They argue that pictographic languages like Chinese or Japanese develop spatial reasoning better than Roman languages prevalent in Europe and America. The same reasoning has been used to explain why students from Asia-Pacific countries (eg Singapore, South Korea) tend to score better than average in tests of mathematics. Some argue that the East Asian advantage can also be explained by more rigorous education programs. Opponents of these interpretations point out that people of East Asian descent who are born and educated in the United States and primarily speak English score better on average on IQ tests than their white peers

    Oh, here you go...

    It doesn't matter whether the Bell Curve theory is true or not (I suspect not, personally), it's still singularly unhelpful. What good can come of knowing for sure that one race is on average more intelligent than another? It's stupid and divisive, and I suggest we do NOT get into a debate about intelligence vs race here.

    Well that was odd, I always thought IQ test were a load of bunk.

    I just received 126 for that test and I thought it was easy compared to other IQ tests i've taken in the past, but the timed one on the BBC website i scored 126 also, and I thought that was hard, so maybe they have a little credibilty, if their only credibility they have is to hand out similar scores.

    Anyway I got:

    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.

    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
