Hi I think one of the problems with the IQ test is you need to be careful where you get it. If you just search on line because you want to take one more or less for fun, be aware that most people who provide stuff for free on line are actually trying to sell you something. SO you could download an IQ test that shows, surprise! that you are not very good at math. They then try to sell you a course to make you a wizard at math. The IQ test has been around and fiddled with by smart people for a long time, so by now a real IQ test is probably fairly accurate at revealing your IQ. The question is, what does it really reveal? An IQ of 70 would get you into a special ed class and an IQ of 150 means you can get into MENSA with all the NASA scientists. But it doesn't reveal much else about you. If you really want to know your IQ, I suggest you go to a professional psychologist, or email a professor in psychology at your local university and ask him for the source of a reliable IQ test.

Which species has the highest IQ?

In short, Human Beings IQ or Intelligence Quotiant is a score derived from one of several different standardized tests attempting to measure intelligence. These tests are designed by human beings to be taken by human beings, and therefore it is not surprising that humans would gain the highest score in these tests. IQ tests have been accused of being culturally biased, meaning that the tests are more favourable to a certain culture or race, it could also be argued that these tests are also "species biased" in that they are more favourable to human beings than other species of animal.


How do you test intelligence?

It is supposedly tested by taking an IQ test. However there has been significant questions about the reliability and potential cultural bias on these tests (e.g. people of western European ancestry consistently test higher than people from other cultural backgrounds, also poor people consistently test lower than the rest of the population). In my opinion the only thing IQ tests measure reliably is the ability to score high on IQ tests, and they only very loosely correlate with actual intelligence. I doubt that any test exists that actually measures a person's true intelligence.


Who has the highest IQ in the world today?

Marilyn Vos Savant with an IQ' of 228. When she was 10 years old she made a IQ test and got 145, then they made a conversion regarding her age to 228; but when she growed up she only got 186 of IQ, a IQ not that high. At the moment I dont know wich is the higest IQ, but for example, someone named Kim Ung-Yong in Corea have 210 of IQ at the moment and without conversions.


What is IQ?

Not every president has taken an IQ test, and in fact, until the modern era, such a test did not exist. Since the results of such tests are confidential, there is no way to know where President Obama ever took one. What we do know is that he graduated from Harvard Law School in the top five percent of his class, and received academic honors, certainly an indication of high intelligence.
