Welcome to Emode's world-famous IQ Test — the most thorough and scientifically accurate IQ Test on the Web. Previously offered only to corporations, schools, and certified professionals — it's now available to you directly from Emode.

Your IQ score is 122
This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Emode's Ultimate IQ test. Your IQ score is scientifically accurate; to read more about the science behind our IQ test, click here.
During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We were able to analyze how you did on each set of those questions, which reveals the way your brain processes information.
We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Precision Processor.
This means you're exceptionally good at discovering quick solutions to problems, especially ones that involve math or logic. You're also resourceful and able to think on your feet. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test. According to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Visionary Philosopher.
This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns.

Hmm 129. And i'm a Factual Curator. Eewww, I never wanted to have anything in common with Bill Gates except maybe a few billion dollars in the bank. I am, according to them, highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive amount of facts and figures. I also have a remarkable vocabulary and impressive math skills. Does this mean my checkbook should actually balance? Sounds like Xon and I got the same canned schpeal, except he got a higher score. I am sure i missed at least 3. I wish I could find out what the answers were. That bugs me when i dont know.

"brainiacs like Bill Gates."
thats very funny, the only people on the planet that outwit the genius "chief software architect" are millions of script kiddies. they really should remove that line from the description. i guess they were saving einstein for an even higher iq.
we should all kinda discuss the questions and come up with a general consensus on answers, i didnt find an answer key online. this thread could be the first actual answer key.

you are all idjuts!!! everyone smart knows that IQ tests are nothing more than a front for the government to sweep for potential dissidents and turn them over to home security for mind wipes. Im not just blowing smoke. think about it. all those geniuses turning burgers or washing dishes at your local eatery are not just the result of a failed public school system. They have been processed by the government to work cheaply and consume expensively. Beware the HS people. They usually come at night disguised as a pizza driver. Next thing you know, you pray in the morning for the president to keep doing a good job, wait for the light to turn green before you walk, and smile at your little sibs.

4" sof... oh wait, wrong number.  same idea i guess though, but measuring dicks makes more sense. take one iq test, get one result, take another one 20 minutes later and get another. heh, and if someone has to take the test a few times, or tries the the "back and guess again" then there is something seriously pathetic going on there IMHO
oh, and Ocean, technically there is no "highest score", it's not like a final were you can get 100% and no more. The highest recorded iq is 287 by Marie von Savant (from which the -savant of idiot-savant is derived) a newspaper columnist ...now does that mean i get a high score? because i remember useless shit?
...then again, what do i know
Posted by: Ocean
i know, ive taken plenty of iq tests by psychologists and doctors every few years of my childhood. im actually a certified genius. i meant in the sense of this online test. i doubt emode's test goes up to 300, just wondering if it was kinda low like 150.

perhaps i didn't make myself clear, there is no "up to". you can not accurately determine someones iq from a test like this (hence my feelings that taking them are a waste of time) the test results shouldn't have a "cut-off number" in fact it shouldn't have any number at all. besides, most mental health professionals agree that an eq (emotional quotient) score is more telling than an iq
Posted by: uh...ok
At first I thought "EQ" was a funny term/slang used only by HK people coz this Chinese TV series was the first (and only) place I'd ever seen it used.
As for the worth of these IQ tests... if you take a seminar class or any philosophy class that brushes on the topic of intelligence, then perhaps you might have a better idea of what it means. Lots of interesting readings about the topic.

nope, not a member of the high iq society. though i probably will try to get into mensa after i get my bachelors.
i took the iq test about a month ago, and saved the page on my hard drive, the format was different then at the conclusion. the sample report page was embeded in the window without the sample text in the background. i understand why they changed it.

real iq tests dont have a cutoff number, this one does. and id like to know what it is. if an individual like 9:35 takes this iq test it wont reflect his iq, cause it not directed towards that level. and it would be completely innacurate. especially if it has an artificial ceiling lower than his iq. i wanted to know what the numerical limit, of this iq test was. so i could gauge for myself how accurate it is based on the certified iq tests ive taken. just for you to say this test is completely innacurate, isnt useful enough information for me.
edit:
the "up to" 300 in my post was a reference to your "287 by Marie von Savant".
"perhaps i didn't make myself clear, there is no "up to". "
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the only way i understand this sentence is to mean that you are saying there is no numerical limit on the emode iq test. but if you really think its possible to score a 300 on the emode test (whether or not thats your accurate iq) then i definately dont want to trust your opinions on the test. "
Posted by: uh...ok
I'd say that from the average responses here, the IQ scores should range from 82 to about 150.

ha! oh, and Ocean, my friend, i suppose we both saw each others point and got crossed somewhere in there. frankly i am about 2" from a psychotic break (lack of sleep. i think i just asked the kitten to bring me a milkshake) so i can't quite make heads or tails of my posts, your posts, and our various explanations of such. let us suffice it to say that i think the emode iq test a crock (no matter what they claim the coefficent of reliability is) and that just one written test isn't enough to accurately depict a persons intellegence (a pretty impressive battery of tests and such might sway my opinion, but one test is "pfft" in my opinion), i don't put much faith in numbers anyway. one of the smartest persons i know was a mentally handicapped child (well he was about 20 at the time i knew him, but to me he was still a child... i wqas 14 at the time) that my mother did in-home care for.

I have to agree. I took one of these things back when I was a senior in high school and scored 118. One thing I noticed though, my best friend, who scored 111 was a straight A student, while I just got by on B's and C's in most subjects. So to me, an IQ doesn't seem to mean as much as being able to apply what you have.

Ah, it puts me at ease then to know that... Because the answers were pretty obvious to most of the questions (if not all - well except for the stupid fruit question), so I would be pretty surprised to see otherwise.
IMO they should make an IQ test for IQ tests.

definately, the real judgement questions in an actual administered test, are not multiple choice. and it is perfectly possible to see patterns, that the iq test creator didnt see. and its up to a the administrator to see if thats a valid connection.
one of the earmarks for a high iq, is being able to see associations and patterns. and another heavily tested part that cant be tested online, is memory. in actual tests, they read you, (or you read for 5 seconds) strings of numbers 3-20 digits long one time, and you have to say them back to the administrator forwards or backwards. and maybe thats a part that only affects iq's above 144?
Posted by: redwench
iq has nothing to do with memory. memory tests check for brain function, iq tests check for cognitive ability.
Posted by: Ocean
well they always tested my short term memory during an iq test (maybe it was a test that yielded my iq, as well as other things). i've heard some generalizations that an iq in some ways reflects how fast you can learn. a short term memory barrage would probably pertain to that.
9:35, when your doctors tested your iq, did you have any memory tests?

Patterns: sentence fragments, unnecessary commas, capitalization errors, and missing apostrophes.
Posted by: uh...ok
Wow, you're good. 
Posted by: Ocean
am i completely incomprehensable? is it really that important to capitalize every sentence and type all apostrophes in a forum? unnecessary commas are not poor grammar; it is perfectly fine to use a extra comma to facilitate comprehension. starting a sentence with "and", is correct grammar now and it doesnt make what it precedes an incomplete sentence.
this is how the guy with the 188 iq talks
Quote:
first scores pls, not the 'oh yeah, let me press back real quick and change some answers where i accidently picked the wrong option' score thats o-so-common with iq forum threads =(

i was taught (and i see) there is a lower grammatical standard in cyber mediums. what's wrong with just trying to communicate the thought?
what is the correct way to say what i said in this forum mr. moderator?
hmm is that?: what i said in this forum? (or) to say what i said.
there is a difference in meaning. the first implies i want to know the correct way to say exactly what said. the second implies i want to know the standards for the grammar in this forum. but the comma isnt necessary there. it should be obvious to you which meaning i am implying if you dont like the superfluous comprehension-facilitating comma.
Posted by: Null Actor
Talk however you want. No one will start with an assumption that you are intelligent if you can't be bothered to follow the basic rules of the english language, however.
Posted by: Ocean
are you meaning the image of intelligence one projects should be firstly determinate on grammar, and not the idea? to me, it feels cheap to have to convince people i am smart by taking the time to capitilize and to use apostrophes. i dont want take the extra time for what seems to be the only added usefulness of perfect grammar to con people into thinking i am intelligent. id prefer to state my ideas with as much punctuation as i feel is necessary to display my sentence's intended rythm, so one can make the connection as to which words go with which idea in the sentence.
i, at the very least, spell correctly, use possesive apostrophes, and use actual words. and to me, a period, followed by a space, and preceded by a group of words in the structure of a sentence, siginifies the end of a sentence just fine. for someone not to realize that what comes after a period is the beginning of another sentence was beyond my expectations of the lower threshhold of textual recognition.
i notice your previous comment didnt end with a period, and used the number 9, as opposed to nine, which is proper english. i understand that this forum isnt a college thesis. and i dont judge people for the manner in which they type.
if i hear someone say "aks", as opposed to "ask", should i make the assumption that they are unintelligent? id rather assume that is what is acceptable in their little corner of society. rather than pass judgement, i am tolerant of different lingiustical capabilities, and prefer to focus on what was relevant; that which was being articulated.
however when someone is speaking on a philisophical level, or about serious issues to the masses, or from the seat of leadership, like a presidental speech, i do consider correct grammar important. because, it is needed to instill confidence in one's ideas.
i completely acknowlege my perceptions of language are different from the american norm. my family and i are multimingual. and i have developed the sense that communicating the intended idea is more important than communicating a simpler idea in grammatically correct form.
all ideas that wish to be communicated must go through a translation from thought to language to perception. i realize this, and when i read or listen, i try to perceive what is the idea that is trying to be communicated, not the definitions of the words that are being said.
i apologize for my flaw.
Posted by: TotalRecall
Your sentences were harder for me to read because of the commas, which indicate breaks in the sentence. In fact, that is why I posted. They are superfluous, Mr. Verbal Fury Incarnate.
My comments were sarcastic, and were only posted because of the thread's topic.
PS: Please do not respond with great length.
Posted by: Ocean
when im tired, i do tend to type in the way i speak. as i was creating the sentences in my mind, there were pauses where i normally would pause, and admit i put a few extra commas
especially these:
"patterns, that"
"online, is"
im just learning to take the time to say things very carefully, because if i do not, individuals seem to get nitpicky.
you clarifying that you were being sarcastic leads me to think that you thought i was taking offense. i was not. i thought it was humorous. but i wasnt absolutely sure you were not being humorous. only about %80
anyways, i am always looking for an oppurtunity to debate/perssuade, but ill try to limit my verboseness to instances whan i actually care about the topic.

If you need to convince them, it's because your lack of proper written English throws them off.

If you'd like to go pattern searching, there is a very common theme to any of my posts which lack correct punctuation. It is entirely intentional, and I'll leave it to you to figure it out.

I dunno ... intelligence doesn't always depend on how well you communicate verbally ... I've seen the most charismatic speakers who are as dumb as a doorknob when it comes to science and the arts. It comes with the territory. I think that English should never be used as a gauge on a person's intelligence, because it is biased towards English-speaking people, and therefore assumes that anyones who does not speak English (well or otherwise) is automatically low IQ (or, as the popular name goes, stupid).
Therein lies the inherent flaw in all this IQ test bullshit... it is biased towards the Western world and should not be used as a legitimate gauge of intelligence.
Asking "how high is up?" to a high IQ person and someone who scores below 50 would elicit different answers. A high IQ person might spout distances between the earth and the moon or the sun or even the next galaxy (maybe he'll even say the question doesn't make sense), while a low IQ person might just answer "it's as high as it goes." The latter person would have a much more accurate answer than the former.

wow, thanks for the compliment; that my improper english is what throws people off primarily, and not the other relevant aspect to convincing people i am intelligent, the quality of my ideas. which is exactly what i said. i never wanted to get respect by using perfect grammar. im glad you understood my vernacular just fine. thats another compliment in itself. thanks man, it caught me by surprise.

If you'd like to go pattern searching, there is a very common theme to any of my posts which lack correct punctuation. It is entirely intentional, and I'll leave it to you to figure it out.

nah buddy. i said i wouldnt judge. so i wont judge even if you beg me to. why you do things your way is entirely up to you, just like i said. theres no need to justify the way you type to me. i respect that you are you.

See, I've never particularly understood why so many people feel such a burning need to prove their intelligence.

If you can't gain respect the traditional way, then you force feed it with a number! Why else do you think I have the number nine in my name? Cause it's, like, a big number! Do you have a car or a van? Way cool !

then read my paragraph that made you say that.

"...to me, it feels cheap to have to convince people i am smart by taking the time to capitilize and to use apostrophes..."

thanks for proving to all the people i dont want to convince anyone im smart because i dont capitilize or use apostrophies whilst pointing out that there are people who like to do that.
thanks man for setting that up. i owe ya.
edit: oh 9:35 that was cause of this:

You aren't trying to prove you're smart... yet you tout your role as 'certified genius'.
Hmmm!
Posted by: Ocean
i thought it was relevant to my explaining of my experiance with iq tests. its not like i bragged about it or put in a big letters or on its very own paragraph. i didnt see anyone else consider it to be braggadocio.

should i assume that because you said:

you are touting mental retardation? i think a dog is like 15, so i have to assume you ment 90 which by some charts (depending on the year) is borderline mental retardation. only a pitty whore would tout that.

Therein lies the inherent flaw in all this IQ test bullshit... it is biased towards the Western world and should not be used as a legitimate gauge of intelligence.
Asking "how high is up?" to a high IQ person and someone who scores below 50 would elicit different answers. A high IQ person might spout distances between the earth and the moon or the sun or even the next galaxy (maybe he'll even say the question doesn't make sense), while a low IQ person might just answer "it's as high as it goes." The latter person would have a much more accurate answer than the former.

Laggy, I used to think that until I discovered (in psych class) that IQ tests are meant to be localized. They're made with the assumption that it will be administered to a certain target group.
And one would probably point out, then, that since IQ tests are so subjective, there's no real point in taking them... which is probably true.

im not saying he has a mental condition, im saying he said that to justify his beliefs (which is fine). if he stated a numerical fact in support of his own beliefs about an iq test, then why is it exclussively "touting" when i do the same?
i dont like the majority of my posts being clarifications to all the quotings i am receiving. but i am obsessive-compulsive, and i have to resolve something that is wrong or misunderstood, just to empty it out of my consciousness so i can focus completely on other more important things - really important things.

i agree. but i think iq tests should be not only localized in a geographical sense, but also a cultural sense. becuase america is that so called melting pot of cultures, our iq tests are probably devoid of many exclussive cultural references. and i think cultural awareness has a relevence to an aspect of intelligence in some sort of situational resolution capacity.
maybe thats why japanese have high iq's, and germans make great engineers. and ive heard theories that its the japanese language and german language that make their respective socities' minds more inclined to a particular mental skill set.
even though i think cultural and linguistical aspects definately introduce bias to the test, i also believe that cultural specific aspects are relevant to intelligence.
perhaps that would be a legitimate reason for the appearent neutered state of the emode test.
Posted by: uh...ok
I don't see how you managed to connect Japanese language with German... Japanese language originated from a "top to bottom" writing system while German, like most Western languages, go left to right.
In his book The Axemaker's Gift, Burke talks about how Western culture's inclination towards the sciences is partly due to (or perhaps can explain) the fact that our languages involve the logical synthesis of letters into words, of words into sentences. Eastern cultures and writings (the best example being Chinese), with their individual characters that represent whole things, are less predisposed to this way of thinking and thus view the world a lot more holistically (less cut-and-control) than their Western counterparts.

clarification:
i wasnt meaning to compare the two languages to each other - just that those were 2 languages, off the top of my head, that had cultural predispositions towards some sort of mental organization due (theoretically) to their languages.
yeah i might be familiar with that idea, (but not the book, ill check it out, it sounds interesting) sounds remarkably similar to the logic behind what defines a (high context culture) and a (low context culture). chinese would be a high context culture because there is "less cut-and-control" and words' meanings are heavily dependant on what context they are used in. german was a low context culture.
there was something somewhere that addressed the links, between america's very fluid adapting language, and its affect on the general mental abilities of americans. any ideas? my curiosity towards language/mental-organization associations have been piqued.

any iq test must be given in the native tongue of the subject. obviously, cultural references must be absent as well. although, since iq tests were not designed to measure intelligence, their ability to do so is somewhat limited.
Posted by: Ocean
but are cultural specific problem solving questions relevant to determining intelligence? would an intelligent american philospoher be considered intelligent in iran?
when you say that an iq test isnt designed to measure intelligence, im wondering which of the many acceptable definitions of intelligence you are referring to. and is it the same meaning as the word intelligence in the phrase "intelligence quotient"? or are you meaning that it just assesses the potential for intelligence?
Posted by: redwench
iq tests were designed by binet to predict scholastic achievement, for which they work quite well. they were never intended to directly measure intelligence, although they do a reasonable job of gross measurement. to obtain any degree of accuracy in even the intended area requires hours of testing and many questions, which is why its rarely done routinely.
Posted by: Ocean
sounds good to me. was it ever used to award scholarships or placements? "intelligence quotient" does sound like a variable in a computation or formula.
Posted by: redwench
its possible, but rather doubtful. it just costs too much to do a proper test, and testing en masse would be rather prohibitive. its usually reserved for "questionable" children, to determine if its a learning disability or lack of ability, at lest in the proper form. the quick stuff thats available on the web is used a bit more broadly, but its too inaccurate to determine things like placements.
the quotient is the result of a formula, its a statistical comparison, not a raw score.

It was a joke, man. A joke. You know, humor? That's why it's different, I didn't mean it seriously in the least, you did. I could care less about IQ scores. I know people who I'd consider far more intelligent than me who score lower on the IQ range, and I know people who are pretty much total morons who score in the much higher ranges.
And really, what is the point of knowing at all? If you want to show how smart you are, go cure cancer. Or help design and build some kind of advanced propultion so we can get off the planet. But using your IQ score as a measure? I'm not talking about you or anyone specifically, but people DO act like IQ scores mean they are smarter than other people.
When I was back in highschool, in one of our science classes, someone asked about IQ. I can't remember what the question was or something, but the teacher (who is one of the coolest people I've ever met in my life), figured we'd do somewhat of an experiment on it. He brought in some IQ tests, everyone did them. It was pretty fun. People compared scores, and it was fun to see the results.
However, the true revelation came towards the end of highschool, when classes started requiring intuitive leaps to do well (physics, chemistry, math, calculus), and not just rote learning. It was fun to see people with 'high IQ' being decimated by other people in terms of marks. I'll tell you this: I didn't have the highest IQ on those tests. However, at the end of grade 12, I was sitting pretty with the highest academic average in the school by a noticeable margin. Which was hilarious to me, since all previous years I'd been far from the top, most likely because of my poor memory and relative inability to memorize things. I can, however, understand things, which is where other people tend to fail. The only difference between grade 12 and other grades, had been that you couldn't just study lots and memorize things in order to get high marks.
Which is only my personal experiences with IQ. But like I said, the earlier list of famous people's IQs says a lot. Einstein and Stephen Hawking both only 160, while plenty of other people who have little to show for it have higher scores. What is the point of using IQ scores? I don't care if people on that list have super high scores... if they've done nothing with their so called 'genius' or superior intelligence, then it is essentially worth nothing.
It's an empty measurement with no bearing whatsoever on reality or possible outcomes of people's lives.
