		<description>I think the subject of IQ testing is in itself a test. 
In showing interest upon our intelligence is foolish don&#039;t you think?
I mean I know my strengths and weaknesses, and so should anyone with common sense.
Therefore why test? Besides schooling and your profession of course.
I feel stoopid, yes stoopid (stupid) :) in just admitting my participation of said IQ testing
But I confess.
I&#039;ve had various scores, of which I don&#039;t feel are relevant.
And simply because of my part taking I would give myself a 10 lol.

I&#039;m a kid I have reason to doubt my intelligence.

Remember this, you never stop learning.
And you&#039;re success should not be measured by sole intelligence, but rather your ability to apply your abilities.


                                  Sincerly,
                                       A common 16 year old</description>

		<description>I got 143 on highiqsociety, 158 on iqtest.com. I went to MIT and was top of the class there. Never took any real test offline. My classmate at MIT got around 160 on iqtest.com, 140 on highiqsociety. They&#039;re probably not as good as offline ones, but for ballpark figure they might be good enough.</description>

		<description>A friend of mine scored 105 on the test of International High IQ Society... So no, not everyone gets the score of a genious on those. I got the same level of result as could be expected based on my other tests, exactly 130. My guess on why a lot of people score such high scores would be that people who are more intelligent than the average in terms of IQ are the ones who primarily do these tests and that nobody wants to make a low score known, not even online.</description>

		<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>
