This site allows you to test your IQ. It's something you can do for fun. Their IQ test is pretty quick to do. People going to IQ sites should beware of spam or stupid runaround sites that never show your score unless you buy something or click through some spam edu offers. So far, this site seems ok on that front.
In order to see your score, you will have to enter your email address, and they will mail you your score. I didn't opt for the detailed report for $10.
This part of their FAQ cracked me up:
"The mean score is currently 108.447 (Confounding variable: The lowest IQ holders will not be capable of using the internet to measure their own intelligence.)"
Wow, so many people claiming this site doesn't give you your results for free.
It's hilariously sad. But, at least they'll all be safe in the event of a "zombie apocalypse". Lol!
After you complete the test, you have to provide the site with an email address for it to send you your results. After you enter your email, check your email. If you still can't find your results, check your spam/junk folder.
As for the accuracy of this test, I think the site's meant more for entertainment purposes and not actually a reliable source for such information.
I scored 135. I'll admit I'm happy with my result but, I doubt I'm really that smart.
Though, it's nice to think I might be. Lol.
The only problem I have with this site is that it had way too few questions. Easy questions for that matter. So, I don't believe it could accurately estimate your IQ.
Honestly, when I was taking this exam, I felt that it was extremely tedious and difficult. However, I thought it gave me an ample challenge when it came to testing my cranial abilities. I ended up getting a disappointing score of 142, which is just shy of my normal genius level, but it'll have to do. Overall, I think everybody should try this site.
I got a score of 130
139 even in some categories... I was wondering if most people were getting high scores too. If we all are then it seems the questions are easy to boost your score. High score / people feel happy and satisfied and paying and show off that certificate.
Let me know
Well I didn't pay to see the details for my score cause I thought I was unfair, but recently they emailed me and told me that there's a half price ($5) promotion to get my detailed results, so I did pay them. However, I am worried about the reliability and validity of the test? Does anyone know if I can safely trust their analysis and results?
Contrary to what most people have said, this test DOES give you a general estimate of your IQ, and only charges you 15$ for the in-depth analysis of your results. I cannot guarantee the validity of the test, but it was an entertaining way to spend 13 minutes. On every other IQ test I've taken, I've scored between 115 and 132, so receiving a 127 didn't seem that far off. The questions presented are definitely different than the questions on verified aptitude tests (like the mensa practice test), but they were enjoyable.
My results were promptly emailed to me, and the number of questions was enough to show that it would be relatively accurate. Just one small problem: it said my iq was 147. I am relatively smart for my age, but I am not quite sure if that is completely accurate. Whether or not it was accurate, it made me feel pretty good about myself. (I think it may have been rigged to be like that.) Other than that, great quiz!
We do not inflate scores. Your score of 147 may have been surprising to you, but we hear from people who are surprised by high and low scores. You might be interested in the Mensa IQ Challenge, a test offered just for fun. Mensa also offers a Practice Test for $9.95 that will give you an idea of how you would do on their Admission exam.
Let's just say that after performing a few statistical analyses, I can confirm that this test seems to measure something approximating general intelligence. The average could be considered to be around 114 with standard deviations of 17 points. Given the self-selecting nature of IQ testing sites, meaning that smart people will be drawn to IQ tests, the average of 114 as opposed to 100 isn't too far-fetched. I scored 151 on this test and 47/50 on the Wonderlic Contemporary Cognitive Ability Test (formerly known as the Wonderlic Personnel Test or Wonderlic). Just remember, everyone getting so upset that they comment their hate here is doing so as a result of their own subconscious feelings of inadequacy. Stop hating yourselves and it will be easier to stop hating on the providers of this website and its surprisingly effective services.
Congratulations, Julien! All those individual scores of 152 indicate that you answered all the questions correctly. The only thing keeping you from the highest possible score of 156 is the time.
Seemed like reasonable questions, good test... As mentioned in other reviews, cannot take the place of a proper psychoeducational test. Results emailed immediately for no cost. Additional charge is only for in-depth breakdown of scores. Fun and free on a lark!
The individuals who wrote that they had been scammed should have first checked their e mails. Test results are sent, and there is no fee. They probably realized they were mistaken, but were too lazy to go back and fix their negative reviews, thus affecting the overall rating. I imagine these individuals were not happy with their IQ scores.
Answer: If you look at the chart explaining scores in the FAQ at IQTest.com (How well did I do? What does my score mean?) you'll see how the scores are distributed and how your score compares with scores of others. IQ tests are designed so that the average score will be 100. The highest score you can achieve on our test is 156. A score of 99 would be almost exactly average. Our test was designed for native English speakers. If you do not speak English very well, your score will be lower than it would be if you took a test in your native language. If you are under the age of 16, you'll get a more valid score on a test designed for children your age. Age is not factored into the scoring of our test, but it is an important factor in tests for those under 16. Adult IQ scores usually remain constant over a lifetime. Common sense would tell us that if a child scores well on an adult test, then his IQ score would probably be even higher on a test designed for children his age. But we have done the research only on adults, so we can't say for sure that our test produces valid scores for those under 16.
Answer: The team of psychologists who created the test at IQTest.com were given the task of developing a valid, reliable, and fun test that could be taken online. This was a new thing in 1994 when the test first went online. Not just any test can be taken online. Most of the tests found online today do not give valid IQ scores. The most recent versions of the Stanford-Binet and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale have the same standard deviation as our test, i. E., 15, and will produce scores that can be compared to the scores received on our test. We offer the test as entertainment because we cannot control the test environment, but many people who know their scores from either the Stanford-Binet or the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale tell us that they scored within a few points of their previous scores when they took our test.

Answer: Hi Lynette, Call the number on the back of your credit card and tell them that you were charged without your permission. They can cancel the charge.
Answer: Maria-- I think you have taken a test at a different website, IQTESTNOW.ORG. You are lucky that this site did not accept your credit card. Your description of your experience in the review you wrote leads me to believe that you were almost a victim of their scam, which involves making additional charges of $39 or more to your card after the initial small charge of $1.95. Please review IQtestnow.org instead of IQTest.com.
Answer: Hi Marvie, The charge of $69 is not from IQTest.com. We do not ever employ collection agencies. I think you should check out IQTESTNOW.ORG, as they are well known for their fraudulent charges. If you would like to discuss this further, you can reach me at contact@iqtest.com. A charge from IQTest.com would show on your credit card or PayPal statement as a charge from Autumn Group/IQTest.com.
Answer: The BMI test is not affiliated in any way with IQTest.com. If you have questions about the test at BMI, you should direct your questions to the BMI website.
Answer: The free general IQ is emailed to the address you enter on the registration page following the test. We offer a Complete Personal Intelligence Profile for $14.95, but it is not required to get your score. If you send me an email at support@iqtest.com and let me know that you didn't get your score, I'll send It out to you again.
Answer: There is no charge for the general IQ score. That is available in your account at IQTest.com, and was also emailed to the address you entered on the registration page following the test. We offer a detailed analysis of your score for $14.95, but it is not required to see the free general IQ score.

Hi Joshua,
We don't inflate scores, so your score of 130 is a true representation of your ability to answer lots of the questions in a short time. We see scores at all levels. There are just as many people surprised to see a score at the low end as there are people, like yourself, who are surprised at a high score.
