A little quick research. Less than 10% of the world's population have above a 120 IQ... A little over 2% are over 128. I kinda doubt the average GBA temp member is above a world-wide scale. Cute test though... pointless, but cute.

Mensa is the High IQ Society for the top 2% of the population you need a minimum IQ of 132 to be accepted.

Holy shat, according to this test I also qualify.

Things are looking good for me.

the test everyone in this thread took was just a for fun type thing the official test is much harder and really tests your abilities.

From this test I got 146

Spoiler

This test seemed decent compared to some others that i've come across in my experience, it was very math based and didn't test all areas of intelligence. Tests that attempt to measure the extent of one's own brain capacity are always going to be affected by extraneous variable and will never be completely accurate. Whether it is even justified to apply a number to such a thing is another thing to consider.

In actuality, people with high IQs tend to be lazier in school and such since they don't have to work as hard, so they grow complacent, and then when something actually does challenge them they don't put forth much more effort than is needed to complete it because they're used to just sliding past it. I breezed past school, and here I am in college, not used to having to read some things more than once to understand them.

I'm in my first semester at Uni coming off pretty decent marks at high school and while I wasn't lazy, I did grow a little complacent. I seem to absorb information very easily only having to read some things once as well. I could have applied myself more and practised but I still got very good marks regardless. That was me in high school anyway. So far at Uni I deciding to be quite diligent and have been doing quite a bit of my own research and study so far going for a HD(High Distinction >80%) average mark. Considering most of my subjects are Information Technology based, i've had a lot of reading and calculations to do which is pretty easy for me. Math has always been my strong point and I'm planning to take my studies in this area further.

Due to studying maths and other technical subjects, people perceive me as smart because it is perhaps stereotyped that you have to be intelligent to be good at Math, when in reality you can possess many different types of intelligence, more than just information storing, but visualising, creating, collating information into knowledge, understanding concepts, exploring individual thought, studying opinions from the wider part of society and more.

This test seemed to be very Math based and with the time constraints on the scoring system, i'm not surprised that I did well. As far as my social skills go, my personality is very friendly and approachable, also very altruistic. This isn't always to my own benefit but has made me able to enjoy quite a large circle of friends.

In the online world I don't participate as much as I could because I am already starved of time, but I try to read through posts and formulate a detailed response when I can.

We interrupt your program for breaking news coming straight from an esteemed psychologist!
Everybody with intelligence uses it to the utmost of their ability! Anybody that doesn't CAN'T BE INTELLIGENT!

Pretty much what went on with me. I liked it though, because I didn't need to put in as much effort to do better in school than my friends did.

Uh, obviously. My last post was pretty much a complete joke, I even said a couple posts back that this test is clearly flawed.

In summary: I am the smartest person here.
