I've tested at 160 on some internet quiz a long time ago, but I think everyone's done that [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Different types of IQ tests have different meanings for the numbers.

I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out which grouping 75 fell into. I almost had it figured out (I think), but then I decided 70 was probably more acurate. Here we go again...

Do the stupid free online ones count? I think they give everyone a high score (like 150-200) so that they buy their IQ kit.

Everything counts. It's a meaningless poll anyway [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
I'm still looking for an online test to grossly inflate my score...in fact, most of the ones i've taken have given me a lower score than any of my professionally administered tests.

I realize there is inflation bias of course, but I'm still surprised that there are this many >160's here...anyone want to claim credit for over 180?

I weigh 188 pounds. And I'm 182 centimeters tall. So there's your two over 180 credits.

Got halfway through a couple, decided I'd rather go for a walk. So I'm guessing about 87 on my better days. "Yeah, it's this biiiiiiig!" Bleh. Besides which, I've got a loose, yet firm grip on my own sanity. <shrugs>
