I don't know what mine is. How do I find out?

Well there are admirable test on the internet..they are quite accurate, and they are free, you have to so a search of IQ testing,,some of these test will knock you off your feet. Its been awhile since I tested, about 3 years..I tested several times with the offerings on the net back then, havent since. That I know of they are still free and accurate..they certainly pinned me..

I was given an IQ test when I was a teenager - about 14. I scored in the 98th percentile.

I would likely score much lower now. All those years of "hard livin'" since have probably slowed things down. My cognitive abilities all work well, but I think they just take longer.

I think there are a lot of factors that IQ tests don't account for. They really aren't that useful, and one shouldn't be that concerned with how well they do on them.

Raw intelligence is wasted if one doesn't have a curious mind and intellectual honesty. Its also useless if someone lacks critical thinking skills. Without the framework of being able to think logically, someone with a lot of raw intelligence is little more than a good chess player.

The good news is, critical thinking skills are very easy to learn and practice, it just takes a little willingness.

It's probably like 80, maybe 85 I would figure.

j/kI don't think they're very accurate. I did run across one before (maybe web.tickle or something) that was relatively accurate but every test I've taken said my IQ was higher than it actually is. I've had it tested before in highschool and middleschool because I'm [high functional] autistic.

I'm a member of Mensa since the age of 16.

IQ-Test are not all the same, especially those in the Intarweb aren't accurate at all.
Therefore figures like Rasczak have more significance than pure numbers.

I never joined. I took their test once (online) a couple years ago and qualified. To get in you have to actually go somewhere and take the test under supervision, which is a bit out of my way because I'd never go to their clubs or anything.

How does a person benefit from being a member of Mensa? What do they have to offer?

I am unsure as to how good or bad this is, but I have a 125 or so.

back in the stone age, i took and passed the mensa test.

tried it again a couple of years ago and failed.,

My kids are very intelligent, and one of them has been getting just a little bit of an attitude about it, so I explained for him that raw intelligence will get a person nowhere if they don't have ambition and learn enough facts about the world to apply common sense.

Well there's a difference between intelligence and IQ. IQ measures only one type or one aspect of intelligence (depending on the model you use; psychologists are constantly bickering over what "intelligence" is, if there are different kinds or if intelligence is a conglomeration of subfactors).

don't know don't care

IQ is a score.

Intelligence is an ability.
