Don't worry, IQ ain't real

YDI for cheating, and also for thinking that internet IQ tests are even remotely legitimate. Did you also get a free Xbox?

Ouch. How did you manage to do that? Like epic fail. No offense. Actually, it was prob the site. Anyone who can work the internet has greater than 70 IQ.

most IQ sites take into account that you will cheat

this is how internet IQ tests work (they are not real IQ tests or accurate measurements of intelligence, a real IQ test is very expensive to perform): they first display the IQs of celebrities so you'll take the test, you then give it all your information before you are able to take a test and then it either gives you a low score so that you get your friends to take it to compare so you don't feel so bad about yourself OR it gives you a good score and you brag about it and then your friends take the test. The website then sells your information... just FYI

Damn, I got a 144 on one lol You probably would've gotten a much higher score if you didn't cheat and didn't take a huge dump during the test. It's based on time, you know.

What's worse. the average IQ by design of the test is 100. The online tests, while meaning nothing, will inflate your IQ above 100. So subtract about 25 from what you got, that's what the IQ test says you actually have. So, you suck. Big time. Especially since you cheated on the IQ test which consisted of questions that are only remotely hard if they don't have the trick answer as one of the multiple choices.

wait did you score 70 IQ or 70%

70 on his IQ.There's no percentage score on an IQ test.

Those tests are also based on time. The longer you take to answer a question, the lower your score is. Getting a 144 on an online IQ test is the equivalent to getting a 75 on a legitimate one. Internet IQ tests are basically a huge pile of shit.

#2 - people with 70 > IQ's can use the internet.
