Apparently I'm a genius: 152 with 2:33 left tongue.gif

Though I must admit I enjoyed the advantage of English not being my native tongue...

My IQ according to what it was in middle school has significantly increased with age! smile.gif

Is see that none of you put your age down when saying your score as how old you are does make a difference tongue.gif

Mine was 119 with 43 secs to go unsure.gif but that i because i take my time with most things as i like to get it as right as possible laugh.gif and it seems right to me.

Quite like the humour of the verdicts, I got 124 with the comment: "What is your problem, you're not stupid, your even above average. But please make up your god damn mind. Either get a little less or tighten your boots and try to become gifted" biggrin.gif

Not really, they use your age in calculating your IQ so that it is comparable with people if different ages.

I see your point, but thinking about it wouldn't someone of an older age be able to preform better at the test then someone who is younger; like for example who would you say would do better, a 34 year old or a 14 year old. It all comes down to the fact that you need to be able to understand the question that they are asking you and how fast your brain is able to work it out tongue.gif

This shows that as Andavari has gotten older his IQ has also increased meaning that he is able to preform better when taking the IQ test

Well actualy IIRC the peak age for your brainpower is around 25 years old (its all downhill from there lol ) and the IQ tests compensate for that.

Yes but its a different test so you'll likely get a different result (especially with such a short test), it would only be a meaningful increase if he'd tested himself with the exact same test as previously. Besides your IQ can increase and decrease regardless of age, its partly down to how much you use your brain day to day.

You rushed it rr.
rridgely
Yeah, I didn't read a single question. tongue.gif
I just wanted to see what it would say. laugh.gif
Humpty
Geez Rridgely, if you took your time you'd probably get over 200!
rridgely
I don't need a test to tell me I'm a genius. happy.gif

darn it! im getting used to this laptop and i hit a few by accident while doing the test! 134 with 4:54 to spare. must be a mistake. smile.gif

Get a usb mouse. tongue.gif
I bought an awesome cheap one at radioshack for $10. (wired but its optical)

I'm using my mom's new laptop and finally noticed if I rest the pointer on anything selectable (like a true or false choice, lol) it gets selected automatically while I try to come up with the answer. I scored about 112 if I remember. Huge drop from my teens and twenties (I'm 46). Maybe I should let this laptop and its obnoxious Synaptics Touchpad take the test without me...
rridgely
Are you on a tohsiba? I had that problem for a while then I uninstalled all of those junky "utilities".
1984
yeah i gotta figure out the whole touch pad thing. its kind of neat though because it even has finger print recognition and a lock so that only i can use it. havent configured that yet though.

im going to get a wireless usb mouse as soon as i can get out to the store as i am so used to clicking with the mouse and such.

rridgely
The only time I use the touchpad is when I'm sitting on the couch. tongue.gif
I cant stand even using Staroffice to write a paper using the touchpad.(it takes twice as long to press the formatting buttons ect)

One thing I will say is that using it will make you learn keyboard shortcuts. I have doubled my use of them since I got mine, and it actually does make things faster.(if you can type of course. tongue.gif)
Mike Rochip
My mom's computer is a Compaq. The touchpad is really annoying because I have to lift my finger at least twice to go anywhere and the pad doesn't seem very accurate. Even worse, there's no third buton and that makes using Firefox frustrating. I bought a little Logitech mouse today which works great. Btw, I'm glad I'm back. I missed me.
