Why Did My Iq Go Up ?

[Taalemsurt]

Hi i took an IQ test and i am measured at 123,last time that i took it 1 week ago i was 117.

I also took different iq test and the even once that i never did before.

Can someone explain ?

All an IQ test does is to measure your response to a particular set of questions at a particular time. There's bound to be some variation across multiple tests.

we have had a good go at IQ on another of your threads

a) they can be learnt b) they are not much use c) there is natural variation in testing

You are obviously getting more intelligent - keep at it and we may see great things from you!

What test was it? Can you provide a link?

[Taalemsurt]

I took the test at https://www.mensa.org/public/mensa-iq-challenge

Thank you Ta.

Can you tell me what your score is?

[Caran]

It said my result lies outside the area they can measure.
Don't know what that means.

I would guess you are either a mastermind or really thick lol!

[Taalemsurt]

I am a thick lol because if i took the official test i wont even make 90 iq lol

My own score used to vary widely when I did 'proper' IQ tests (i.e. ones set by university psychologists) many years ago. (I've not done one for a very long time, as I'd rather not know how much my brain cells have degraded!).

The lowest I can remember scoring was 138, with most of my results in the 140s but a few over 160 or simply given as 'outside the limits of the test'.

However the figures are largely meaningless anyway. There are people on this website whom I regard as exceptionally intelligent but who might not necessarily score particularly well on an IQ test, simply because such tests only measure one sort of intelligence.

I did some Mensa IQ tests some years back, all my scores were between 180 & 188.

I was high as a kite on a mixture of Caffeine and Mania (the nice bit of Manic Depression).

These days I would struggle to get the paper the right way up.

I don't know about intelligence but I find people who want to become members of MENSA and then brag about it to be distincty odd.

I'll never know what mine is as I got fed up with it!
