What is your IQ, Skadi.netters? Also what is your opinion about IQ tests: do they reflect one's intellectual potential correctly or not?

You go firstOriginally Posted by Wend
Mine was measured at 145+ at secondary school.
All right, the highest I scored was 145, the lowest 133. So I guess the right one is in betweenOriginally Posted by Loki
Loki, check PM please...
Mine is between 135 and 150, based on American tests (combining both verbal and visuospatial subsections). My verbal scores are somewhat higher than my visuospatial scores (people always tell me I have a flair for language, lol) I would guess that I would score higher on a Russian test. I've been delaying joining MENSA for a long time though, because I've heard conflicting reports regarding the quality and mebership of that organization.Originally Posted by Wend
As requested by Wend, whose idea this was, I have now incorporated a poll to this thread.
What makes you think you would score higher on Russian one?Originally Posted by Eendracht Maakt Mag
Well, as I said before, the one's I've taken so far have incorporated both verbal and visuospatial subsections. Since Russian is my first language, I would guess that I would score higher on the verbal subsection of a Russian IQ test than an English one.Originally Posted by Wend
BTW, nice avatar, Loki! I've always been a fan of Andries Pretorius.

In any case, I don't think anyone should take web-forum claims regarding IQ scores at face value (my own included). People lie, especially when they have something to gain from that lie. I've met complete morons online (and off-line) who claimed to have astronomical IQs.
