IQ tests are not garbage. I'd like to see you provide some evidence to suggest they are.


However, I most certainly agree that 99% of wed based IQ tests are garbage, for an assortment of reasons.


I like how everyone here is posting scores, but not what test they've taken. It's absolutely pointless to post a score without also posting the test you achieved it on. Stop it, please people.


If you want to take a pretty good IQ test, try this:

http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf

It is a great mimic of the IQ test Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices, a commonly administered test.


However, it's much easier to obtain reliable measures of IQ through a psychologist. As such, while the score you get from this test is likely fairly accurate, you could get a more reliable score from a psychologist. That is, if you're willing to pay money :P
