How accurate is this IQ test *** moderator deleted link, not sure if this was not some underhanded advertising by new poster*****
My kid did this IQ test and now he is telling me he is stupid, he is very intelligent by the way.
Who can tell me these tests are not made by kids or someone simply doing it for fun?
Please direct me to official IQ test made by scientists, or this doesn't exists online?
I guess anything can be found online and I know it's free, but I expect some quality level.
Thanks for answering!:)

Ok... first let me say... I am not an expert at this. This is only my opinion.

I have been tested in a real situation. I came out with a 127 IQ. So, while I don't consider myself a genius, I am not stupid either. I clicked that link you posted and took the test. It kicked my *** I think. I couldn't make sense of most of what they were looking for. I honestly don't think there was any real merit to that test at all. I have never seen a real IQ test laid out like that. Then, after I took it, it wanted me to take a free survey or do some other stupid thing before I could get my results. Well, I wasn't looking to buy car insurance or any of the other choices it gave me so I clicked out of it before I got the results.

I don't think there are any real "scientific" tests to take online. There are too many variables to taking a test online to get a real result out of it. If your kid is normally fairly intelligent, I don't think this test should put an end to that at all. Tell him the test was garbage.

I deleted your link, I am sorry if you are for real, Your post starts just like those where underhanded advertisers come to drive traffic to their links.

No there are no FREE online tests that are really great. Most are for fun and if your child needs a professional one, start with discussion with their school counseler who can get you in touch with local professionals

Thanks for making this clear I was thinking the same generally.
In my opinion even IQ tests we do offline can't measure our intelligence, I think no one is competent to make this kind of test unless the are people with IQ level of 1000 and there aren't.
"Cheers!" :cool:
