Even Alfred Binet, after he developed the basis for most modern IQ tests, said that it wasn't a perfect standard. Seems like a lot of people choose to ignore that, but I dunno. If the guy who started a thing says it's not 100%, I'm inclined to believe him. You don’t take one iq test to get your iq you go see a Psychometrists who is a special branch of Phycology. They administer about 80 to 100 of the tests you did under strict time controls and supervision. At the end you get a report that lands you in a percentage, 1% means you could get into Mensa, 80% means you can’t be enlisted into the army. Take the JCTI/TRI52, and see if your score on that test is around the same as the mensa.no test, since the JCTI is practically unpraffeable. Hey thanks for the advice, I took the test here;. The when i clicked the score at the bottom said IQ:125, at which point I gave up. So for example, 83 IQ is equal to 10% of the population, which means that 10% of the population doesn't have the IQ to enter the army. And that people can't train their IQ. What we are assisting every day is IQ stratification. Let's talk about down syndrome for a moment. With down syndrome, the average IQ is 50. The normal average IQ is 100. Using the renormed untimed norms 28/36 would equate to 120 IQ, potentially add 5 points to your score as you’re still 14. The test is reliable but the norms are off, the renorming was done independently by 2 different people (Chip Douglas and psychometriandoctor) and both reached similar conclusions. Average IQ is shifting all the time (usually going up, which may seem surprising; the book "Everything Bad is Good for You" addresses this) and the test, well, isn't. So things get wonky. 135 is canon, though. IIRC. This is a kinda old comment, but IQ tests do "go up" along with the average IQ, since they're graded on a curve. I'm not sure what WdNz0. IQ tests are almost all reported as Standard scores, with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Scores of 85-115 are therefore within one standard deviation of the mean, so that describes 68% of the population. 95% of people achieve a score between 70 and 130 (2 standard deviations from the mean in each direction). 99.9% of people
