    I got a 135, and Visionary Philosopher also.

    I like that test. It's a lot harder than most others I have taken. It seems more intellectual.

    I googled for "Visionary Philosopher" and found several links where most people believed that the test was fake, that they couldn't possibly have that High an IQ, and that almost everybody they knew got about a 135...

    Then others, saying that the Tests only go up to 140, so the people with real High Q's were getting gyped, being told that their IQ's were only middle 130's!


    Me, ehh, How's a number going to make me happy?

    {Hmm, well, 136 is numerically interesting, (1 + 7) *17... Ok. I'm happy now!}




    {EDIT}
    Hmm, 136 is Also = 23*17, while yours, 135 = 33*5

    We're both Qubic Multples!

    Woopee!! I'm a cubic multiple!! Now I can brag to all my friends!

    Yeah, I have wondered about internet IQ tests for a long time. I got a 149 once, and I was like: "I'm not THAT smart!". Like I said, I think this one is more accurate, unlike others that seem geared to make you think you're smarter than you are.

    I'm gonna try and get a terrible answer from this one. That seems a reasonable test of it's fairness...

    If it requires knowledge of anything other than the language the test is written in, I wouldn't put too much faith in the results.

    How "clever" you are is a combination of your intelligence and knowledge. A lot of "intelligence" tests require prior knowledge of things, and/or have a bias towards certain economic factors.

    Ah, I see. That makes sense. Like you put a lot of math questions in a test, and surprise! Math teachers have high IQs according to your test, etc. A real test of your intelligence should be more a test of your ability to think rather than a test of what you know.
