How Accurate is Tickle's Super IQ Test?
Question: I was curious about my IQ the other day, and I saw some people on here refering others who were curious about their IQ's to tickle.com. So I went there, took the test (and figured them all out logically) and lo and behold it gives me my IQ as 168. I was surprised by that, because I'm only 15, but I've been told it's pretty accurate. So...yeah, I'm just kind of curious as to whether or not it's actually accurate.
Answers: These tests are NOT accurate, and a 168 IQ would put you in 0.001% of the population (assuming the standard deviation is 15), which only 5146 should have in America...which has over half a billion people in it. This test is not certified, and do not be fooled by their use of the logical fallacy of appeal to authority. If this test was certified it would take a lot more than one person to do it- it would take a large group of people who were a representation of the population and constantly had the same results in numerous trials. This test doesn't even have a standard deviation, and a score above 140 becomes very hard to test since hardly no one scores in that range (making it harder to prove and standardize). Oh, and your age has nothing to do with your score because it is consistent (or at least it is supposed to be) after 17.
If you want a real test take one administered by a professional. Unless you need to know your score for something (like applying to a gifted program), then I wouldn't even bother. You know what you are capable of doing and you should not let something as subjective as an IQ test tell you that.
Ive taken that test and I didnt like it. Its not timed , therefore it cant be accurate. I reccomend taking an IQ test on www.highiqsociety.com . their tests are timed and they are far more accurate for people with higher IQ's. And since you are so smart, join them if you want.
Online tests arent very accurate.
For best results, you need to get an IQ test done by a professional.
Very inaccurate test. Its a sales gimmick.
