I recently did an IQ test on http://www.iqtest.com/ and got a score of 145. I know this can't be really accurate but it should be close, right? I'm considering taking an ...show more

Answer:
Not worth it. That site has a true/false test with only like 50 questions. IQ is more complex. No way to measure it with so few questions, especially true/false. P.S. It's a paid site... It's a better indicator of gullibility than intelligence. (If you paid $10 to take the test, you're gullible.)

some yes, others no. and do you really need to know your iq that bad? for a three hour drive? trust me, colleges, jobs and other people dont look at your iq, they look at and care about you gpa.

I got a 131 on that test when I was 15. I took the official Mensa test just recently as a 17-year-old and scored the exact same thing. The Mensa test requires swift mental mathematical computation, slightly better-than-average vocabulary, and reasoning skills. It has pictorial analogies, questions about vocab, basic logic questions, and memory questions.... I had fun. Don't fear it, don't sweat... The sameness in the scores could be a coincidence....!
Boy!
Not reliable. All the sites give you a high score just to make you want to pay money for an in depth analysis and explanation. Only accurate ones are the official ones not taken online.

No! I can't believe that someone has a score of 145.

No lol... lots of those tests tell everybody that they are a genius. I've taken some that tell me I have an IQ of 150 and some that tell me I have an IQ of 100 or 120 or 95 or totally random numbers. Those online sites are just collecting email addresses or viewers or sometimes even $ if they ask you to pay for something. To get officially tested you would have to pay several hundred dollars and get tested by a licensed psychologist, as you seem to already know. If you want to I would. I would never do that, I'm afraid it might damage my self-esteem lol! :)
they are not accurate and are not accepted in any official capacity. it is a good estimation though
