Share if you're comfortable. The poll is anonymous. Please be honest.

129 (average) last time I tested it (WAIS), but it was deemed incalculable by the neuropsychologist as there was a too deep gap between how high I scored in verbal IQ and how low I scored in spatial IQ.

I actually don't know since I've never taken an official test but if I had to guess, my IQ must be very low.

how can one be sure of it? (like, that easily)

 

[Aergia]

The results probably aren't going to say much seeing as not everyone who has a conception of what their IQ is has had it tested formally/under controlled conditions/by a reliable test.

Idk. I never had this tested with an official test but I would say I'm average.

120-129

Online IQ tests are not accurate, I've never taken a real IQ test but if I had to guess probably 120.

No way, dog is smarter, but cat _acts_ smarter.

I don't know and frankly it doesn't matter. One of the smartest people I knew killed himself because he thought he was stupid and a failure.

The only thing that matters is how much of your IQ is actually being applied to the real world. I've met people with IQs higher than mine who were so full of themselves, so unwilling to learn anything new that they were, in effect, dumber than me, and I would look down on them.

It's also possible for someone to have a mental illness that makes much of their intelligence go to waste, or be a burden on them, without providing any real merit.

I couldn't give less of a shit tbh, the people who are most obsessed with intelligence are generally fucking insufferable.

 

[daysnumbered]

Don't know, probably somewhere in the 85-115 range.

 

[Brew]

I love telling people I have an IQ of 20. Everyone who remotely knows about what it is gets so shook, it's so funny!

 

[Hvergelmir]

With all the different online tests, I wouldn't trust a poll like this at all. There's a strong incentive for many sources to inflate the scores, and little personal incentive to distrust an inflated score.

I personally think IQ can be a great tool used right, but I think this poll only serves to skew peoples perspective.

120, tested by a psychologist, not online. But its useless
