		<description>Ok, 3 things...

1. If everyone posting to this blog really and truly had an IQ score of 130 or better, then why is it that no one here can produce one grammatically correct sentence?

2. These online tests truly were meant to be nothing more than a fun and meaningless online test. Last time I checked they haven&#039;t replaced the ACT or the SAT (both of which are only made available for a fee). I don&#039;t know of any professional organization that takes these seriously. In fact, they may even be used to determine anti-intelligence based on who believes in this garbage.

3. They are utterly useless. I do design work personally, anyone who wants a worthless piece of paper stating they are a genius can contact me and I&#039;ll sell you one for $5. Then, when I take your money and give you your piece of paper, I will be the truly intelligent one for being able to take advantage of your intellectual inabilities to decipher fact from scam. Try showing your certificate to a college and see if they accept you.</description>

		<description>Its scary that people sign up for these scam programs. You have to be a little dumb if you sign up for a $9.95 per month mobile billing service to get the results of your 5 question IQ test.</description>

		<description>oh and btw legitimate iq tests are observed by phd holders and timed, and also extensive and generally the questions aren&#039;t knowledge based as your intelligence is your ability to learn not how much you know. how smart you are on the other hand is knowledge based. actual I.Q. score 163 I am a high school dropout that got accepted into over thirty schools due to my act score, which i took stoned. It was a 33. i think all of you are wasting your time thinking any of these online sites are legitimate i simply do them when i&#039;m bored to see how my score changes based on my state of mind.</description>

		<description>Uhh, anyone else realize that just about everyone commenting here has scores in the 130 to 140 range. I got a 141 on such a test. I highly doubt there are that many people who have such high IQs. One of my questions was something like, &quot;The numbers &#039;5-3-7-5-8-1&#039; backwards are &#039;1-8-5-7-3-5&#039;&quot;. Of course I got all the questions right. They&#039;re ridiculously easy.</description>
