I just took an online IQ test from Free IQTest dot net does anyone know if the tests and scores given by this website are accurate?

Answer 1

No. Online are very broadly accurate, but are a long way from being definitive.

An IQ test needs to be administered by a trained professional, in most countries this means a Psychologist or Psychiatrist. Typically, it will take about 2 hours. If you want a very accurate result, you might need to have multiple tests over the course of a few months.

A good test will measure a lot of different things, and takes a lot of analysis and statistical work to make good sense of the results. For example, a psychologist will take in a lot of other factors that an online test won't be able to, like if you have a specific disability or are tired or distractible. They will also be able to choose a test which is appropriate for you, based on your age and circumstances, and be able to interpret the results.

They will also explain what the results mean.
