	Take it. It says that it's "PhD certified". But the thing is, it's a website, and it's a .com site, as well. But it's still interesting to see what you get. Here's what I got. You can skip all the "offer" crap towards the end, and still get your "score". Whee. ____________________ kimi gakure ta yuuki wa OKKUSENMAN OKKUSENMAN sugi sarishi kisetsu wa DORAMATIKKU

Quizzes from Tickle.com are frowned upon here. This has been posted quite a lot in the past.

Oh well, here's my IQ.

To be honest, I started to put random answers about halfway because I was getting bored with the quiz.

This again? * Ninetales sighs :\

I'm not taking this test again to re-find out my score, but IIRC it was ~14x, don't remember the last digit. I have my doubts about its accuracy as an IQ test though, as do many members who remember this from the last time it was posted.

This is complete and utter crap. Forgetting about that, I took the test and got the following results.

Posted by Tickle
Congratulations, SamuraiX!
Your IQ score is 131

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is 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. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.

Too bad I don't have exceptional math and verbal skills.

I got the same as type Doritokiller. I got an IQ of 131.
I think this test is probably crap too.
And this thread may be overdone, but it's the first time I've ever taken an IQ test/participated in one of these threads.

My IQ is over 9000!

...Seriously, though, if you want your IQ, get it from a psychologist, not Tickle's BS.

IQ tests have the slight downside of being completely useless.

And online-ones are completely unreliable too, I mean I recall some of the questions on that IQ-test not having to do with IQ at all. :/

An IQ test only measures the ability to pass an IQ test. Yep, it's a circular definition.

IQ tests in general serve no other purpose than inflating one's ego. Supposedly, a score over 100 is "higher than average", even though practically everyone taking an online IQ test ends up with a 100+ score.

They're nothing but a waste of time.

www.iqtest.dk is about the most accurate IQ test you're going to find online. Anything else, from what I've seen, is utterly worthless.

	Yeah, I sort of established the fact that this is, in fact, crap. The .com, along with all the ads, and being online, all verify its fakeness. I was a bit vague about this in the first post, though... I never really knew about this being posted in the past, due to my 3-5+ month hiatus, so I thought that this was new and all, etc. etc. ____________________ kimi gakure ta yuuki wa OKKUSENMAN OKKUSENMAN sugi sarishi kisetsu wa DORAMATIKKU

I'm curious what you guys get at www.iqtest.dk. Even if it's not truly accurate to an IQ test, it's still fun to do.

The Tickle "IQ" test is based on general knowledge questions, which aren't fair in the context of determining intelligence, only knowledge.

In other news, it's pretty much rigged. The scale tends to hover around 130-140, and you only get worse if you actually try to fail all the questions... I managed a 7x that way.

Of course, it's to make you "feel good" and want to buy the total stats chart they offer, since you can brag about it and such.

Also, they absolutely love sending you junk mail if you give them your e-mail address. I gave them my Spam address to see what would happen, and they refuse to quit sending me stuff. Good thing I didn't give them one of my real addresses.

That was something I did, too. ... But it's not like I ever check my e-mail, anyway.

Is it even a total stats chart? All it looked like was a crappy piece of a paper that has your "score" on it, along with other "stats".

As for that slightly more accurate test, I got 102. I may have done some rushing on it, since I actually have something to do for once.

I scored 101. Funny, because honestly, as a child I scored over 130 (I think about 145) on an actual test from a psychologist.

I find that this test relies overly on visuals and logical thinking as opposed to other, social, mathematical, and reasoning elements key to someone's IQ.

On the Tickle test I got "Visionary Philospher" with 150 -- easy test (you can cheat too, theres answer keys to it out there...)

Also, I stopped to watch TV several times during the www.iqtest.dk test, and just started clicking things towards the end -- which both probably had a negative impact on my score.

While I agree other elements are important, these are indeed THE most important elements.

136 on the tickle test...

116 on the other. Although I did get bored with some of the later ones and didn't bother to even try to figure them out.
