    Posting a link to IQ tests could help with that.

    You've got to pay for the pretty chart [All of 10 bux] but they give you the overall score for free.

    You paid for the chart? Anyway, my result from the same place as Vindictus.

    143. But since English is not my native language, it means there's a good chance it could be higher!

    Also from the same website.

    Intelligence Interval Cognitive Designation
    40 - 54 Severely challenged (Less than 1% of test takers)
    55 - 69 Challenged (2.3% of test takers)
    70 - 84 Below average
    85 - 114 Average (68% of test takers)
    115 - 129 Above average
    130 - 144 Gifted (2.3% of test takers)
    145 - 159 Genius (Less than 1% of test takers)
    160 - 175 Extraordinary genius

    Hot and blargh and hungry waiting on stuff to cook, so I'd have figured it would have been a lot lower than this.

    142 huh. :-\

    Dear thisisinsane,
    Your general IQ score is: 144

    This seems a bit high given the insomnia. The official IQ tests I have taken are usually somewhere closer to 130, but I could have just gotten lucky. Or maybe I do better half asleep who knows.

    Well, there are people who actually do better when under some form of pressure.

    More likely is that they're inflating the scores, to make you more likely to pay them money for a "detailed analysis" since it flatters your ego. ;) :p

    I got a 141 myself, which is a lot higher than most times I've taken an IQ test; I usually get a bit more than 130, IIRC.

    On reflection, they wouldn't have to artificially inflate the scores because the true false format of the test is easier then the more free form official version.

    I think I got a few questions that would have been much harder to work out from scratch because I could "check the answer" instead of "answer the question". ;)
