I Feel Manners Are Important On the Internet Too

How much are the internet IQ tests "scores" inflated on average, over the professional test scores?

Or are the phony "scores" just given out randomly?

Quite a lot. Online I can score 76, but really my IQ is more like 45 🤤

@Whiterosesociety Why? Why does it matter. I’ve always loved my friends for who they are. I could care less what their IQ score is. 🖤

I’m guessing roughly twenty points from personal experience. My real IQ is 164 if I remember but the online stuff had me at 186. I’m not sure if that’s true throughout, though. It may get more or less accurate as you approach the median IQ’s (I’m guessing more accurate as typically the highest inaccuracies are at the edges of the scores but I’d need to see multiple scores of both to provide a baseline and see if there’s a sort of bell curve.)

@DarkHeaven so u don't think the online tests are absolutely bogus?

@Whiterosesociety I think all IQ tests are subjective at best. The online ones are just more so. 🤷‍♀️

It's more that IQ requires someone to interpret it. It's a little more than just giving someone a test and getting a number at the end. They take age, background, and level of education into account. I know because I just had one.
