 .IQ tests don't even measure the most useful forms of intelligence, like decision making, and situation analysis. It just says whether you've gone to school and paid attention or not. Decision making and situation analysis is more of an EQ atribute than IQ. Unfortunately you put way too much emphasis on IQ. The higher value of the IQ won't give you an edge in many situations. The best situation to find yourself in is to have a balance betwen your IQ and your EQ. As Daniel Goleman said in some conference, by his longitudinal studies, people with near values for iq and eq (not sure how you define that since tests for eq don't have the same scale as any iq one) have the best chance in life (they succed in most areas). His studies also indicates people with IQ betwen 105-119 detain the highest probability of a high EQ. Too bad there's no acurate test for measuring your EQ. This is my personal opinion since i don't really like the Baron test. | ||

Didn't vote, but scored 144 as a kid, ~138 now. I'd say my weighted IQ, counting laziness, is around 130. | ||

The weekends he likes to binge drink and watch prime-time movies with no goal set for his future. He didn't dumb himself down, because you could practically talk to him about any subject and he'll have some basic or complex knowledge of it, but he doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It just feels like the iq tests are just a masked dick-measuring contest. Why not just judge yourself by what you do with your head instead of what's crammed in it? EDIT: My sig is not my iq. maybe he's actually figured out way more than every career-oriented friend you have.. | ||

Highest I ever got was 132 on a online test (Average 122-128), but I believe all of those are bullshit. | ||

No one says that intelligence is the end to all, quite the contrary. But EQ is just nonsense. Seems it's made up for or by people who feel bad because they don't have a very high IQ. Who cares? | ||

http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf another free online IQ test (don't know what stdd) that I think is a lot more genuine than most other free online IQ tests. It's all visual/pattern finding to lower cultural bias (not that it eliminates it). Though it only tests for visual/pattern finding. Just for fun. | ||
