bullshit! IQ tests are effective at all ages because your gross score is computed against your age to come up with your net score or IQ. They are good at all ages and are culturally unbias. They aren't fucking trivia quizes as all of you are making them out to be-they measure your intellectual capabilities not your 'learned knowledge' as most of you are implying. I find it hard to believe that those of you who are so ignorant regarding the tests have actually taken one yourself.
and yes-internet tests are not valid. You can have them done through your school usually or the police department-these two administer the stanford-bennet wich is the most accuratte-but also the most lengthy.
This is parently untrue. One cannot GET an accurate IQ score before age four. But properly administered IQ tests (which by the way, are by the way they are constructed, culturally non-biased, as they contain no "cultural" information.) The ones on the internet are usually very flawed. Mine's really freaking high. But I'm not going to say what it is.
oh my goodness someone else with a high IQ who knows what the fuck they are talking about. Am I seeing a pattern??? hmmm people who actually have their facts straight have higher IQ's.
IQ is not how smart you are. I believe it's your ability to learn or grasp a concept. Any IQ test that lays out like an SAT with a math/english section is absolute bullshit. You want to know your real IQ? I don't know about all states but in Indiana everybody takes them early on and they're kept in your school files. Call your elementary school and ask them about it. And Lodui, you may have been borderline retarder then, but you've definately crossed the border by now
