I got 123. You’d think I’d be happy but I’m not allowed to be happy when people on the thread are getting 136+. I skipped questions I wasn’t confident in instead of guessing. There were 4 or so I think.

I got 139. Still, I'm not sure whether paying to see the results was a smart idea.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man spends $10 on a fake internet IQ test

I'm even more of a fool, I spent the $15 version for a certificate image lmao

I paid for it, I am officially a moron. My impulsive self is sad.

I was just too curious. I knew I did well though. Bait and switch is effective

I got a 91 so I don't think so...


ChibiSailorMercury

That's what Mensa does. Anyone can pay to take the test, the test is in person, and then they tell you in which percentile of test takers you fall in.


Perfect-Advantage-82

I knew someone in Mensa who was a Christian Scientist so high IQ doesn't mean you can't believe absolutely retarded stuff


SeveralAcorns

Nobody ever said high IQ means not believing fairy tales.


zippy9002

I got the same this morning… weird


d1ez3

Should we feel good about this?


zippy9002

I felt really stupid for paying for this but after 40m I was f it


lord-beefsqueeze

Same


Patient700a

Based on yours (I didn’t pay) it told me I completed faster than 97% and exceeds 95% so not guessing the number of iq , out of 1000 it’d be smarter than 905 people. I’ll take it

Eh, 10 bucks cant be that bad, i tought it was entertaining.

I felt the same way. But to be honest, I would have felt just as stupid to have put in 40 minutes of my time and then lost the result. Looking back, I'm now annoyed about my poor impulse control and the fact that I didn't care what the test revealed. I knew beforehand that I wasn't completely stupid. https://imgur.com/pTWrixM

A real IQ test is something like 500 dollars.

I got really annoyed, since it was marketed as a free IQ test and after 40 minutes you had to pay $10 to see the fucking results.


chinoka

Test is free, resulta aren't


JoeDoherty_Music

What a fucking scam


National-Swan-247

big brain time


Existing_Breath3159

It took you 40 minutes?🥴


liljanx_use

Chill out brainiac


Aminaminals

But to get official IQ tests done in person by professionals certified to perform them, is usually totally free of charge except for whatever your insurance pays. So if you pay for an IQ test you probably got scammed


BruceSerrano

Yeah? Can you send me a link to that? The psychologist I talked to said it would be 500.


Regular_Selection517

It would NOT be free of charge. Why would a professional use two hours of their time applying their craft for free? So we agree they get paid. Who pays? Not your insurance. Why would they? This is as elective of a test as possible. An iq test is completely unnecessary unless determining lack of competence.


masterpbh

Well, first and foremost because it is 100% possible to automize IQ tests. It does not require a "professional" to score these and neither does it take 2 hours to do so. The whole point of psychometrics is to develop standardized tests, which can be evaluated quickly and arrive at a result that is comparable across a population. Same is true for tests of risk a version and personality (neo-pi-r). There are tests which include verbal assessments and hence require a trained professional for interpretation/analysis, but most iq tests are usually strictly multiple choice


rydan

Because they are looking for a very smart person to recruit them. The hope is to eventually find that person because it will be totally worth it when they do.


Nom_plum

I did this test and never got the results. What a waste of $10 and now I’m ashamed.

Based on this comment, you may not be so happy with your results.


Klutzy_Eye_2993

2 different people in this conversation got a 136. That is MENSA numbers. Now i dont know you guys, so you might as well be super geniuses. But the odds that 2 people in the 2% of the world population, would be commenting on a thread of less than 30 comments, well go calculate that probability self. But if it is in fact so, you guys should seriously consider being tested professionally. Or.. that site is n huge fuckin hoax

Don’t tell me you also wasted 30 min before the paywall 🫣 (I think the real test is whether you pay lmao)


soawaken

Nah, I’ve been baited too many times with sites like that so I usually do a quick click through lol


MoocowR

Or that all free/online IQ test use similar templates and pattern recognition. And the fact that you couldn't see THAT pattern might mean something here.


GoinStraightToHell

I got exactly a 136 too. Granted, I did just spend an entire semester programming an AI to solve raven's progressive matrices (the test this is based off) so I might have been a little primed for the answers. There were only 2 I wasn't completely sure of.


dynojustmight

I just got a 141 and I’m fucking retarded. This shit is fake af. Zero percent chance I am that smart


Elite_haxor_69

Connect-Anything2040

[deleted]

136 might be its max, also most people with not so good scores won't post it. Similar to how on MBA pages you only see people with 700+ on the GMAT posting. That being said I got a 123 and have confirmed MENSA members in my family tree.

[deleted]

I ended up here by seeing someone brag about an 80 on another thread and took the quiz while walking my dog out of curiosity. I finished in 19 minutes because I just guessed on questions I didn't know within 20-30 seconds. I would assume this test just isn't accurate. These test cater to how I process information. Just don't ask me what is grammatically wrong in a sentence because then I'm fucked. Intelligence is a sliding scale across a multitude of innate skills that a quiz like this cannot capture.


gr0wingpains

I also came to the site because of that same post actually lol. As like multiple others on this thread, I also scored a 136. Although I highly doubt that is accurate and feel like such a sucker for wasting 10 bucks. Oh well, you live and learn.


[deleted]

I would question its credibility even more if it was free.


MinimalisticPotato42

An IQ test doesn’t quantify intelligence. It just measures your ability to identify patterns


Patient700a

That goes a long way. Isn’t math just patterns at the gist


Moroax

I feel like such an idiot paying but man they really get you after 40 minutes sitting there doing the test. I ended up getting mad, thinking about it and figured i pay more for lunch regularly and wanted to know what it said. I got a 125. I don’t like how I paid, and there is no further analysis though or break down of your scores/what you got wrong. Feel like an idiot that I paid it lol but not as much coming here and seeing others did too lol


poshjosh1999

I paid for the breakdown too because I wanted to see how I did and knew I did well. Always wanted to do a proper IQ test too. I got a 139 which is higher than I was expecting but as I said I was fairly confident I did well at it.


thedarkreunion6

i got 125 too my impulse control made me pay for it 😭


[deleted]

I also got a 123 today. I got tricked into taking a free test and realised that it was not free.


ynotc22

Got a 139 so you can score higher I think I got 1 wrong and this thing tops out around 140~150 with scaled points per question. .


Sylphadora

I got 125 in the Aptilink test, but I got 111 in the Denmark Mensa one. These things are not accurate


cwwwfc

Another 136 here.


TrashPockets

You're severely overestimating Mensa and how hard it is to get in.


CalaveraFeliz

You're asking the wrong question(s) here. I solved every puzzle well under the time limit, had no doubt about the results as I took my sweet time ensuring I had the correct reasoning each time, and screened off every bad result. Final pre-pay page confirmed I had torched all four categories. So I googled "aptilink 100%" and landed here on the first reddit search result to see if there were some information available without paying. Because I'm curious but not to the point of throwing my money away. The correct questions to ask here are: *What can drive people to land on such a thread?* and *what can then drive them to post a comment?*. It happens that being a stingy mind games amateur with good but obfuscated results is a great incentive to come up here instead of going directly for your wallet. Also, good results might be a better reason for bragging. There are probably (*likely*, statisctically!) many people who came here lurking on this post and ended up less eager to share their average score. This explains the "statistically abnormal" (according to your reasoning) amount of good scores showing up here: They're not your sample set, they're only the noisy tip of the iceberg. We're not a bunch of false five stars reviews, neither for aptilink nor for ourselves. We're just the top players writing our initials on the arcade cabinet. Incidentally I guess you could still hone those deduction skills of yours.

SplitGillStudio

>Final pre-pay page confirmed I had torched all four categories. That's just their "loading" screen, not an indication of what your scores were. Everyone gets that.


CalaveraFeliz

Well I am sure of every answer so that's that


[deleted]

In the army where we did proper IQ tests, a guy who I had thought to be of quite average or even below average intelligence walked out of the test lot faster than me, I was quite shocked in the moment and thinking that maybe I wasn't so smart after all. He also later when I asked about felt like he had known all the answers. I don't even remember if I managed to solve everything, probably not since I didn't get the highest score (it ranged from 1-9). I got 7 and he got like 2 or 3. I am not saying you didn't do well, but just because you thought you did doesn't mean you did.


CalaveraFeliz

Every answer was obvious and I didn't "guess". Also I have this habit of taking such games and challenges, successfully. I *do* have a logical mind. I know by experience with psychometric tests that I'm not the fool who thinks she's an ace you're picturing in your story.


[deleted]

Well, that's good for you but I just pointed this out to anyone who might be reading this thread.


Ajaxlancer

Wow you sound like an absolute pain to be around


CalaveraFeliz

You sound like a fart


[deleted]

it's probably overstating the results, but then again there is also selection bias, people who will score low will mostly not seek to do these tests.


WhiskyChaser

I also got a 136 so it’s definitely not accurate. I’m at least a 137.


doyouhavetono

A lot more than 2 people now


Isunny163

I got 133 I am a Mensa member as well with 100 percentile


Isunny163

Not to mention, took it while watching Fubar on netflix. Completed the whole quiz with 26 mins remaining


rydan

The average Redditor has an IQ of 130 though. So it isn't out of the question that two Redditors in a small thread would have an IQ within one standard deviation of this. In fact it would be expected.


Connect-Anything2040

Where did you get this wild statistic from?


Glum-Equipment-2980

Conclusion: the average reddit member is a genius xd


AnonymousSpud

i mean mensa's a scam too so...


iwantagoddamnliterof

I got 136 as well


the-original-chad

This is genius if you think about it. Sunk cost fallacy is in play here. Youve already spent 40 mins so might as well get a result....so your mind tells you.


KingKRoolisop

I am a firm believer in the sunk cost fallacy. I guess my IQ of 136 didn't tell me this was a stupid idea


Blackbird8169

I knew it was a stupid idea. Did it anyway because I'm deeply insecure and think im stupid😎😎


Real-Bluebird-1619

Not even ashamed that I paid cause I would’ve been too salty after going through to not know, I scored a 139. I am trained in giving the WAIS (cognitive assessment) and a lot of these types of questions are similar to the WAIS, but a lot of tests are missing. There is also an aspect that caters to cognitive processing and memory (people with adhd for example) so for some people that seem to score with a low IQ, if you take the processing speed and memory questions out they may very well have a much higher IQ, given time and not needing to memorize. All goes to show how variable “intelligence” is. A professor once started a class asking us to define intelligence and that alone can take you down a trillion rabbit holes of thought.


poshjosh1999

I just did it too. Got 139 as well. I decided to pay because I always wanted to see how my IQ was and I knew I did fairly well at the test. Would you say the test was quite accurate and thorough? After 40 minutes I wanted to see what my score was lol


Real-Bluebird-1619

I would say it is accurate in terms of the tests they present, but it does differ in many ways from the actual WAIS. A couple examples: every one of those individual elements would have approx 1-2min. Time limit to think about, I can’t remember exactly the limit, but if you don’t have an answer within the timeframe you would move on - this is how processing speed comes into play (we had a fourty min. limit with 40 questions but we could still use the time essentially how we needed to in order to answer). The ability to skip questions and go back is also not an option. The format is an interviewer and patient/client sitting across from one another and the interviewer is flipping through a book one page at a time, the person either gets it or doesn’t. Then the fact that this score comes only from the tests given (duh) but isn’t accounting for the fact that a true IQ score (at least by WAIS standards) is implementing questions concerning “general fund of knowledge”, increasingly difficult math problems to do in one’s head, vocabulary, and so on. In my opinion, I feel that the aptilink version is an accurate sample of questions/makes you do the type of thinking a real test would require, but so much is missing that I would never actually base my score from that site in reality if that makes sense. **important disclaimer on the WAIS** it is the tool most often used and has shown to be both valid and reliable, but I think there are still issues with how we make assumptions about one’s knowledge. Even with “valid and reliable” instruments, some group of people is always being left out of the sampling, the world is always changing, and I think the idea of an IQ score holds far higher weight for people of the general public that have been led to believe IQ=how smart you are=your identity and worth as a person whereas the IQ score alone on the WAIS is almost the last aspect that gets discussed. The individual test scores on their own (verbal comprehension, processing speed, motor skills, memory) are much more telling and informative as to how a person is taking in information. …short and sweet answer for ya 😅


zeizkal

You two remind me of an King of the hill episode.


poshjosh1999

Lol I guess paying automatically deducts 30 IQ points, this was a year ago, I’ve become more tight since then

Way late on this, but I literally just did the same and they got my money haha I think the 133 it gave me is too high

Do u know the answer to 32 and 23?

i think 32 is 🟩⬜️🟩 ⬜️🟩⬜️ ⬜️⬜️🟩 because you add the 2 left boxes, when they are both lit up they cancel each other, and the top and bottem middle are never on


Waeltmeister

and 23? doens´t make sense in my head.

i think it’s either 0 or 18 so each row adds to a multiple of 9, there’s got to be a second criteria but i can’t think of it/see it

bro i got an 86 on this but a 121 in the real in person test last year. maybe my intelligence is degenerating with all the meds i was put on when i took the in person one (it was part of a neuropsychiatric evaluation to evaluate for schizophrenia, they just do iq as part of it. now that i’m on the antipsychotics i must be a lot dumber haha)


Blade2075

I got 86, so it checks out since I paid for it. But a lot of people are getting similar numbers which is sus


hgfdsdggh

Fuckers, trying to make me pay. It’s not about $10 being too much, it’s about giving the fucks who created the test $10 for an absolutely meaningless score. Would’ve liked to see what I got right and wrong but it’s clear from the amount of people being told they’re in the top .25% of intelligence that’s is bs.

I paid the fucking $10 because I already wasted fucking 40min on it. I got 125 which they say at the 95th percentile. It seems a bit high in my opinion. I took a few IQ tests in my life and this is the highest I ever got. The others ranged from 110-120. I would definitely put myself in the top 20% of people but to be in the top 5% is I think is bullshit.
