Don't worry, IQ ain't real

By snathans - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I took one of those IQ tests on the internet. I cheated and still got a 70. FML

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.

Online IQ tests are NEVER accurate. They either make the score really low or really high. If it does not ask your age you can tell that it is complete bullshit because real IQ tests are scaled. The IQ test I took in real life was not judged by time, though I believe there was a time limit (1 hour, maybe 2). Plus, aren't there mostly logic questions? Can you really cheat on those? Well, I took one once (that supposedly inflates your scores) and it was still lower than my real IQ. Pfffft.

wow didnt even think it was possible to cheat and still get a 70. that sucks.....karma got you good.

Don't worry, they automatically take off 50 points for choosing to take an online IQ test.

"If your IQ is 70 you're not smart enough to even understand you're retarded. A few points lower and you'll need diapers." Uh, no...75 is considered borderline mental retardation. At any rate, to all of you extremely annoying double-posters, if you don't see what you typed right away, refresh the goddamn page first to see if it made it before posting again.

So... was 70 your IQ measurement, or the percentage of right answers you got? Either way, that's pretty ******, dude. You must be dumber than a brick!
