Are home I.Q. Test computer programs any good?

Question

Is a score of 143 very good?

Answer 1

Those I.Q. tests you take online are totally inaccurate.

Answer 2

not really , in fact it's pretty average .

the tests are deliberatly slanted so as to make everyone think they are smarter then they are .

the best and most accurate form of measuring iq is very simple .

stand in front of a mirror and repeat to yourself "god i'm goodlooking " at least a dozen times .

now time how long it takes you to find your keys

once you've found them add this [in minutes] to your shoe size , subtract your inner leg [in inches], multiply by your social security number and then divide by your zip code .

the  remaining number is about as relevent as an iq test .

ps to increase your score ,wear bigger shoes and shorts and move .

Answer 3

They aren't really any more accurate than the tests you take online, and those aren't accurate at all.  So while 143 would be amazing on a professional test, it's really not uncommon on an online test.

If you're willing to pay to take an IQ test, just take a professional one with a proctor.  One you can keep taking over and over to get a higher score on doesn't really tell you anything.
