What's your IQ?
Saturday, September 08, 2007 by simpleblob
I used to write an IQ test when I was a little kid (10?) and got very excited about it.
The score is quite high -- 143. I printed the result, and to my dismay, the tested date is April fool! (The score was still valid though)
Since then, I've taken several online IQ tests, and scored between 130 - 163. Sorely inaccurate, I'd say. The S.D. is wider than the Pacific ocean.
Right now, I still really want to know my IQ. I read that if you want the score that you could brag about, you should have a real psychologist testing you. And so I found out how to do that...
1) Take a Mensa IQ test. 40$, and the testing sites is nowhere near my town.
2) A test Administered by Local Psychologist. 300$. That's right, three-hundred-dollars.
The common sense kicked in and said "look what you can do with all that money! Is it worth it --Going through all that just to know some esoteric score that's weakly correlated with my intelligence?"
Well, I figured that everyone who has an IQ of 120+ would choose:
3) Save the money for something else. And so I did. :)

I guess you did the right thing, lol.
I wish I had a chance to test IQ someday. One thing that restrains me from the test is myself. I'm afraid that the result might not turn out to be good. Silly,huh?
hahaha
