The last time I took an official IQ test conducted by a professional was in grade 3. Back then I was tested at 129. It is said that your IQ does not change with age (not by much anyway). Since then, I have taken numerous online IQ tests but almost all of which are very inaccurate.
Interestingly, a lot of online IQ tests have a conflict of interest. After completing some of them, you will be presented with a very inflated IQ score (I’ve scored as high as 179), followed by a suggestion to join some sort of society for the intellectually gifted, like Mensa. Of course, this is a clever form of affiliate marketing which is surprisingly effective by some accounts.
A Free Accurate IQ Test?
I saw this free IQ test posted on reddit which supposedly does not inflate your score nor does it reveal answers at the end of the test so you could potentially reuse the test. I gave it a shot and I came out with a score of 122.
It should be noted that this test only tests one aspect of your intelligence (spatial visualization) and it assumes that you are an adult so it cannot be taken as truly accurate. However, seeing as this is the lowest score I’ve ever gotten on an online IQ test and there is no affiliate marketing, I’d consider it to be the most accurate online IQ test I’ve taken thus far.
Random Facts about IQ
- IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient.
- IQ is designed to follow a roughly Gaussian (normal) distribution with mean 100 (the average IQ is 100).
- Male IQ scores show a higher variance than female IQ scores.
Did you take the test? What’s your IQ and how does it compare with other tests you’ve done?

Hey Jon
I have done a lot of IQ tests with quite a bit of variance.
But if you take a bit of basic statistics you might figure it out
I have done a lot of tests and what I did was eliminate top 2 and bottom 2 results and then look at the rest, which are a very tight cluster between 132-138. It’s basically impossible to get it right down to the very number due to variants such as wakefulness, what has been eaten that day, how well the questions are written, who has taken the test, their English literacy skills and sometimes even personality – perfectionists and phlegmatics have more trouble finishing the test on time which hurts their score.
You probably won’t be motivated to take a ton of tests but I love doing tests as a mental challenge. You may too
Jonk
mine came at 105 lol, thats not so good
133. It’s not so accurate by the way, I’ve skipped at least 4 steps…
If they determine your score based on how well people previously did, like they claim, then it should be a pretty solid test.
Unfortunately you have to pay to take a written IQ test if you want to apply for Mensa… =(
I’m not sure how accurate this one is. I got 137
130. Not bad at all. Most of the IQ tests I have taken have fallen in the range of 130 – 135. So I guess its pretty accurate.
ill try the link and test my IQ too..hehhehe.. am excited to see how i perform..
My score was 119. Not bad I think. I think these tests should be just taken as fun and not to be taken seriously. I receive so many emails saying to test IQ . But you can’t hold these tests as a mark for knowing the level of your IQ
I got a 126 ithe first time and 130 on second time.
This test tests only visual spatial only. This is not an accurate iq test. The last few questions were too hard
My ego is too fragile to take the test…

132… seemed a bit too easy though.
I got 138. Looks like I won on this messageboard. Weird thing was I was drunk.
LOL.. since high school, I can accept my IQ that only stated at 114, it kind a normal or rather slow… LOL.. man who cares, as long as my SEO techniques is one the way.. being a dump is still fine with me…
I just did this test, i can only able to score 132, just wondering what is the maximum score of this test
wow.. calvia, compare to my IQ up there, you should lot more intelligent than me.. LOL, onky manage to grab 114 since high school.. ha..ha..ha
wow, I also got 132. I think that the maximum is 140. Try also this iq test.
118, no time for last 4, the last one are tough and consume too much time, they should skip the first easy half and put only the tough one to the test
I’m flegmatic and perfectionist so time run out
