How accurate can these online IQ tests (http://www.funeducation.com/iqtest/testcenter.asp) really be?
Well, I was average, and I didn't try hard. If i got bored witha question I'd guess. The test looked a lot like other "real" IQ tests I took in school. Man I hate those things, I was definitely reminded of that.

This one ranked me considerably lower than others I've taken, and when I looked at what I'd missed, there were several instances that I simply disagreed with their interpretation. Of course, I could have also just gotten stupider over the years...[insert smiley picking its nose here].

Menard probably has one of those, if you ask.
Online IQ tests are interesting, but I have seen that they are inflexible. I know that Mensa runs a battery of tests, to look for the different facets of intelligence. On the other hand, feel sorry for the admins of those online IQ tests. They get to see all of the results. Probably rather depressing...
I took this test earlier this morning. I scored in the Average range. Much like Derf, I don't agree with the way some of the questions were graded. Doesn't seem like that accurate of a test.
Right, I didn't agree with how some of the questions were put. Franky I could care less if all Bloogs are Teeks. I knew I would really suck at the math questions but I always do well with everything else. I decided to take several online tests last night. My IQ score was ALL OVER THE PLACE.
One ranked me 109 (Space monkey), another 134 (genius). The question is: which one am I?
Space Monkey Genius I guess.
I've seen many smart people make stupid life decisions as well as daily living. You can be born smart or highly educated but there is no school for common sense.

Very well said. As I've heard it put, 'common sense' really is not that common.
