Am I almost a genius?

Or is it all just a big scam?

Congratulations, Wayne!
Your IQ score is 136

During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We analyzed how you did on each of those questions which reveals how your brain uniquely works.

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test. According to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Visionary Philosopher.

This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.

I'm not so sure if I should believe them.. That's a pretty high score. One I certainly didn't expect. If I am to go by this score, I seem to be in the 99th percentile of people. That's right up there with Lawyers, Surgeons and Professors.

Now either their test is not that great or I have a serious waste of talent going on. To top it off, I did the test at 1am this morning. Maybe I just underestimate my own capabilitites? Maybe i'm just afraid of failing?

So prove me right or wrong!

Anyone who already knows their IQ, I encourage to take this test and see if it matches closely, is much higher, or is much lower than the score they already know of. I have a friend who says his IQ was about 130. He took this test and got 134.

I need more proof! Take the test. You may be as surprised as I am!

I took the Emode IQ Test and got a 178. Believe me, it is definitely not right. Did they want you to buy something? If so, then they pumped up your score so that you would be happy and buy tthier merchandise or results or whatever. I think it is just a big scam.

Of course. They asked me if I wanted to buy a 15 page explanation of the test results. Also, being on the web, I wonder how many people use search engines and stuff like that to help them with their scores? I did the whole thing in my head with no assistance.

I took it and scored 129....I got stupider, I think. I've scored higher than that in the past...mind you, I'm on percocet recovering from surgery, so that prolly has something to do with it.

Congratulations, your IQ is 133

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

Yeah, Theophilus *Wayne* this is about right. Maybe more maybe less... but I'm certainly a writer/speaker. I'm also big time right-brained and artsy and all that. So right now, my brother... way to go on the genius scores.

Go negotiate world peace or cure cancer...

just kidding... I don't think you're obligated to do that due to your intelligence. I'd say, from my world view, do what God would have you do with it.

Wayne, your Super IQ score is 141

Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information.

The way you think about things makes you an Intuitive Investigator. This means you have multiple talents and can do anything you set your mind to. You're able to detect numerical patterns easily and are able to grasp the true complexity of the world, both in its details and in a more abstract form. You've got a sharp logical mind and are adept at using words to get even a difficult point across. The combination of all these things makes you truly brilliant.

How did we determine that your thinking style is that of an Intuitive Investigator? When we examined your test results further, we analyzed how you scored on 8 dimensions of intelligence: spatial, organizational, abstract reasoning, logical, mechanical, verbal, visual and numerical. The 3 dimensions you scored highest on combine to make you an Intuitive Investigator. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities.

I tried this more in-depth test and received and even higher score. Can anyone refer me to a better IQ test, one that isn't propelled by profit like this one may be, so that I can put this mental conflict to bed once and for all?

Okay, I didn't take this test, but I'll tell you just by looking at the intro that it's not a traditional IQ test.

Your IQ is based on your Chronological Age (how old you are) divided by your Mental Age (based on your answers). The fact that the test didn't even ask for you chronological age makes it B.S.

It already has my age. I'm an Emode/web.tickle.com member and part of the process is stating that you are over 18 and stuff.

Unfairman

on Mar 21, 2004

yeah, but it didn't ask my age when I went to take the test.

I'm not saying you're NOT a genius, but I am saying that this test won't prove it.

Haha! I'm smarter than you

It must not be right. A genius - heck, even reasonably smart person -would not take it at all. Just to be sure, I think you should pay the cost and buy the report; then you'll know for certain.

I guess my title line "Am I almost a genius?" should have been something a little different. Maybe something like "Heck, I thought I was more of a dumb-ass".

I never thought of myself as, or wanted to really be, a genius. I was just very surprised at the results. It's all done in fun anyway. Some people here are taking my comments just a little too seriously. That goes for a lot of comments and articles i've made. *sighs*

Hello, I think that the charts are accurate insofar as IQ testing and they are more hinged on finding your str/weakness ect.
the thing to remember is your IQ is simple how mutch you can comprehend not how mutch you know!!!
I have a low IQ 130 or so and Ive been brilliant most of my life.(If only I could say I made brilliant choices in life).
