This test is so fucking stupid. I know I'm not the brightest but a score of 142?! thats ridiculous. I don't get why /sci/ takes this test seriously when you get some someone like me to score really high. I bet some of you guys can score higher than 160 on this test.

>some of you score higher than 160
The maximum IQ on this test is 145.
>muh failed high school
School is a humiliation ritual focusing on obedience, not intelligence.
>muh basic patterns
Yes, IQ tests in that range only tell apart the mentally handicapped from the non-retarded. Congratulations on being non-retarded. If you want an IQ test that goes beyond the usual XOR, rotations and arithmetic progressions, then try to learn actual math. There is no better test of intelligence than becoming a mathematician.

Yeah, this test is complete bullshit, unworthy of respect.
The real IQ test is probably even starting the test at all, probably have a billion viruses uploaded on my computer now since I had to disable noscript to be able to play. Oh well.

I took an iq test from a shrink once. It was speed arithmetic, word association (the shrink made me stop simply saying opposites halfway through, lmao), and a few general knowledge questions (of which I remember not getting one cause I couldn't remember which turtle painted the Sistine Chapel). Anyway, I tested at 144.
I think iq in general might just be bullshit.

How does general knowledge relate to IQ?
