I just took a Tickle IQ test
Congratulations, Serry J!
Your IQ score is 129

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.



It's Saturday afternoon an I'm not even awake yet,but did OK

2. I just took the Enneagram test
Serry J, you're a Type 6 - The Advocate

Friends, family, and colleagues probably appreciate your strong work ethic, courage to lead, and dedication to causes that you believe in. They're also apt to know that when they come to you with a problem, you will become an energetic partner in helping them find a solution. As an Advocate, you're likely to be seen as an altruistic, supportive person who has a talent for organizing others.

Being a member of this type puts you in good company. Princess Diana, with her focus on activism and humanitarian efforts in her later life, and Malcolm X, a minister, national spokesman for the Nation of Islam, and militant civil rights leader of the black nationalist movement, were also Type 6s.

This means that compared to the eight other Enneagram types, you have a strong sense of community and drive to create stability and security in the world. You probably accomplish that either by supporting your own family or engaging in local or global activism.

5. HypnoToad is a Type 5 - The Experimenter
Friends, family, and colleagues probably appreciate your probing intelligence and open-minded approach to life. They're also apt to know that when they come to you with a problem, you can be counted on to give them a carefully considered answer based on keen observations. As an Experimenter, you're likely to be seen as a capable and competent individual with a visionary outlook.

Being a member of this type puts you in good company. Renowned painter Georgia O'Keefe, with her reclusive nature and intense focus on her craft, and Albert Einstein, with his groundbreaking theorems and unprecedented view of the space-time continuum, were also Type 5s.

This means that compared to the eight other Enneagram types, you have a strong sense of perception as well as a curious and innovative mind. In fact, like many Experimenters, you have a strong drive to understand how things work.


It's been suggested that Albert Einsten was an Aspie too. :D

6. Well, so far, my score is the lowest. And I'm about as fearful as a
grilled chicken sandwich, like the one I ate for lunch today... :9 :rofl:

And, by "low", I meant below 100 at least

17. Below 100????
Average intelligence is between 85 to 115 with 100 being the median range. Average range is always a +/-15 points on either side of 100. Above 115can indicate considered gifted. Below 85 can be indicative of lower intelligence capability, but also, for some when compared side by side with other types of test scores, can reveal existing problems that hamper an individual's ability to learn, such as emotional problems.

Am a retired SpEd teacher, and have had to evaluate many students by interpreting scores based on many types of tests, including IQ test results.

IQ results can be deceiving in that the end score doesn't give the entire picture of a person's overall capabilities. I've had Learning Disabled students who tested above 115 in certain areas of the total IQ test, but, when given educational capability testing, came in below the average median range in certain areas of reading capabilities.

IQ testing is all about indications that reveal only a part intelligence capability. These online tests are also only a part of a complete IQ test.

9. I took it a year or so ago, and I got EXACTLY the same score...
that I got when I took an IQ test when I was a child. I don't know what that says, but it makes me more likely to believe that it's not just giving EVERYONE above average scores.

16. you have failed, big time
mine was 160, but I think the test is a little skewed towards math majors.
Then again, I am a genius + 111111
I love the smell of standardized tests in the morning.

11. My score was 131
Maybe they give scores in a certain range to everyone and the test isn't for real!

21. That was my score exactly.
It said I was some type of philosopher or something.

I don't put much faith in internet IQ tests though.

Although I don't put too much stock in these internet IQ tests. I think that score is a bit off.

24. I usually hover around 140
on standardized IQ tests. But I think IQ tests are pretty poor inventions. Too many variables, too many things to be measured, too much we don't know.

25. I always wondered how they come up with a score
when they don't ask your age

if IQ= 100 x mental age/ real age
how can they possibly compute it without your real age? anyone else know?
