    By the way the average is 100 so anything around that is good.

    My theory was correct the people with higher IQ would post thier IQ and the lower IQ people would not.

    My IQ is around 130 but one of my daughters (brag....) has an IQ of 156. She is also a Pioneer which goes to show that IQ is not everything.

    On the real test I took, no language nor education skills involved, I scored in the low 140's per the psychologist. I have (had) a highly developed problem solving and anylitical skills.

    Whoopee. FibroMyalgia's cognitive disfunction has killed most of that.

    And how could you possibly confirm that very unscientific theory? How do you know that the people who didn't post their IQs don't have high IQs? Or those who wrote high IQs didn't either lie, or take some kind of 20 question internet fun test for IQ?

    I find "IQ tests" to be a waste of time. What do they accomplish? Personally, I only see them as ego-boosters for those who need the validation that they are "smarter" than those around them. Internet IQ tests are for simple entertainment only. If you know you are intelligent, why flaunt it? What is wrong in keeping it to yourself? If other people know you are extremely intelligent, let them do with that information as they please.

    The ones who are very bright but keep themselves out of the limelight are the ones I admire. If I have a friend or coworker who I know is the cream of the crop, they have no need to back up their "smarts" with some test. They prove it to me everyday through words and actions.

    IQ is what? I don't think it makes much of a difference. If you are above average then you may be more creative but is it really useful?

    I got a 129!

    I can't stand those stupid questions like ... If Borbs are better than Fribs, and Luns are worse than Jirts, Luns must be better than Fribs if Luns are better than Borbs.....

    I just guess at them, I really don't understand them at all!
