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 🤤

@SW-User I know you’re being facetious but I wouldn’t be surprised if the scores were about that far apart at the lower edges of the scale.

SW-User

@JustGoneNow Yeah, I would say so. I would only ever trust the official MENSA test in my country, which is a formal test in exam conditions. My mom is a member of MENSA, she took the official exam years back at the local university.

@SW-User what about the two old standards the Wescheler and the Stanford binet

SW-User

@Whiterosesociety I don't know much about it all to be honest. I do OK in the online tests but I don't take the results seriously. I think I could scrape my way into MENSA but I wouldn't score as highly as you.

@SW-User I got this from the website

British Mensa can offer supervised tests using two separate, industry-standard tests, the Cattell III B and the Cattell Culture Fair III A. A score which puts you in the top two per cent of the population on either of these papers would qualify you for membership of Mensa. An adult can only get a maximum IQ of 161 on the Cattell III B test and 183 on Culture Fair.

A top two per cent score on Cattell III B would be 148 or over, while for Culture Fair it is 132 or over.

@SW-User I can't score at all, I also don't try stuff I know I can't do. Nobody knows what a real moron I am. Nobody can imagine and I won't ever talk about this again.

SW-User

@Whiterosesociety I doubt that you are a moron. Look at the shit I say online. I give morons a bad name 🤣

@SW-User flattery and the truth are not the same

SW-User

@Whiterosesociety Aye, true. I've never much cared about all of it. What I am will speak for itself.

@SW-User Did she take the Stanford–Binet or the Cattell test?

@Whiterosesociety There are many different gifts. I had a friend that could barely read but the art he created without even thinking was more beautiful than I could ever even describe. And a sweet gentle soul as well. Not everything is just about being smart. You be you. Whatever that is. It’s enough.

JustGoneNow

@Whiterosesociety I promise. 🦋

Whiterosesociety

@JustGoneNow no its not.

@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. 🖤
