The IQ test is a joke. It measures about 20% of the professional IQ tests. It could be as much as 50 points higher than reality. If yo think iy''s even close to reality you're dreaming.

To tell you the truth, I don't put much faith into any IQ test. Even professional ones only measure a fraction of a whole intelligence. I believe someone's intelligence can be broken down into many different categories, most never to given a level or a score.

Please forgive me for the redundant use of "intelligence".

I totally agree. However, if your going to use the term IQ one asuumes you are referring to a specific measured quality. I've taken the standard IQ tests. Granted, the do measure a specific quality. However, the online test is a parody of that given quality. The standard test measures many more "qualities" than that mini-test. For example, spelling, word definitions that are given as verbal replies not true or false. It also measures number memory. But what the test doesn't even get close to is the whole second part of this so called measured intelligence. Spatial Intellligence. It is meausred in different ways but all require hands on manipulation of objects or sequencing done with a stop watch ( ... )
