I feel like interpreting the results is the real iq test. How many people i see not understanding what any of this means
The interpretation is written almost word for word.
In a room of 1000 people, 870 would be smarter than you.
I know that 83 isn’t that low. They should still be able to do that level of math.
OP is over one standard deviation under the average...

People with 80 can still get (as in accomplish, not that they aren’t forbidden) a university degree.
I’m sure they can do addition/subtraction under a thousand.

So you trust that person with a weapon but don’t think that they can count up to 1000?
Is this joke too American for my European mind to comprehend?
Animals can kill but they can't do math.

Yep. And humans can do math oh except some can't. I was using a generalization because over 99% of animals can't do math.
Do we entrust our ability to use violence to animals? I don’t think so.
What a stupid comparison. I’m not saying if X can Y then X can Z. I’m sayin that if we give X so much responsibility Y we should expect of them to have some level of intelligence in field M.

Can you order a bunch of chimpanzees to operate a military checkpoint?
Better yet, are you insinuating that people with IQ around 80 are, intelligence-wise, comparable to animals?
You are digging yourself one stupid-ass hole and I’ll be standing above it, laughing.
Uh well at least my comparison wasn't pseudo-logical gobbledygook.
I feel like you think the average grunt is given immense responsibility but they're not. They aren't all special forces.
Uh well at least my comparison wasn't pseudo-logical gobbledygook.
Neither was mine, so what’s your point?
I feel like you think the average grunt is given immense responsibility but they're not. They aren't all special forces.
Are they given a gun? Because that’s more than enough of responsibility.
Also why do you feel the need to steer the conversation away from my points?
Do we entrust animals our ability to use violence to animals?
Shouldn’t we expect people all soldiers (even those with 83 IQ) to count up to 1000?
We have police dogs
Do they chose when to use violence and how much of it is necessary? Can they operate without “any” human supervision?
(Any is in quotations because policemen are usually under retroactive camera supervision)
On an online test that's fairly low no? These tests are made to boost people's egos and get money from them for the results.
They have said they're aware of the confusion some people have over their result, but intentionally kept it in because they think it's hilarious.
The way it is written is easy to get hung up on, because the first time I saw someone post one it took me a minute to figure out as well. I think at a glance it is confusing, and that’s coming from someone in the top 1.39% 😂
Idk when it says in a room of 1000 people you would be smarter than 129 of them that’s normally a good indicator that you didn’t do well.
They probably stopped reading after the percentage thing
The % thing I can understand getting confused by... but it literally says in a room of a 1000 how many you'd be smarter than, you gotta be extra dumb to fuck that up.
In assuming people misinterpret the % and then stop reading. Also i thought it was common knowledge that 100’was average and below was dumb and above was smart, but i guess not.

People downvoting you actually pay for the online iq tests lol
For real though, what could possibly be offensive about that comment?
These are promotional posts by the company and they have bots to downvote people calling them out. There has been previous posts much like this all over Reddit. You’ll see a lot of downvotes but no actual comments saying why.
Interesting, every time I come back here I see more and more why I shouldn't use the strange land of reddit for anything but anime girl art. It's a simpler life.
I love how they show the results, they know their target audience and that they don't understand how the graph works, they see 80% and go crazy
I find it funny how these things are always so optimistic. “Your IQ is in the top 90%” instead of just saying bottom 10%, like it’s fine to be fair here, that was the whole point.
That's the point, if you are that dumb then when you see big number you happy, so more willing to giv mony to prove intelligence, since most of these sites have you pay a fee for the result
Love how it’s “smarter” and not “would score higher than on this useless IQ test from this website”.
Well how is a real IQ test then?
Hey, the most trusted IQ test is provided by professionals trained in statistics and specific tools. Basically the problem of IQ tests is that it measures literally how good you are in solving problems showed by a test, that's all. Those tests are used only in case of specific jobs and/or as a supplement of other tests. They are somehow rare, because intelligence measurement is pretty hard to acquire, costly (around 1500-2000$ for solid, trustworthy company test) and mistake margin is possibly wide.
In the Internet, intelligence is commonly mistaken for knowledge, which are two different things, possibly connected though.
Edit: I'm not any kind of expert in that field, I studied psychology and I'm interested in that topic, that's all. It means, my knowledge of it can be little outdated.
They are also given to assess for intellectual disabilities and learning disabilities, evaluate neurocognitive functioning, etc.
Yup got one as a kid to test for dyslexia etc etc
These tests are not representative though.
But not understanding what the result means is
Didn't read the text ouch
Caught another one
Not representative, but with a score that low, there is a very good chance this person is not very smart
Considering the text in the image at the top, this could be satire tbh
I took such a website test when I was 10.
It gave me 90, but only because there were very many language questions I had no clue of (English isn't my first language). Another test gave me 120 and a headache instead. These website results are absolutely inaccurate and only gimmicks.
I was so bothered and scared of being an idiot that my parents reached out to do a real test at a center some years later. Turns out I'm just average in being idiotic. Yay.
But even then there are so many variables influencing the results: the meal you had that day, just luck with the set of questions asked... really not worth thinking about.
IQ tests have some pretty bigoted undertones, but English is my first language and I used to take them online and STILL consistently scored as massively above-average, or massively below-average, which confused me.
Then, a teacher told me I had been nominated for a special programme for children who could maybe go to college a year early, and later that year I was referred by a different teacher to a group for kids who needed tutoring and maybe special accommodations. More puzzling still.
Then I went to college and got two papers back at the same time from the SAME teacher - one giving me 30% failing grade and a written recommendation to the additional needs lab in the library, the other an 80% and “well done for taking the initiative to enroll in the additional needs lab - a big improvement :-)”
At that point I stopped being puzzled because it was giving me acid reflux, and I decided intelligence was entirely in the eye of the beholder.
Fuck IQ tests, in short!
Agree
The professional IQ tests actually are very good.
IQ is a horrible metric for that anyways, hell IQ is a horrible metric most of the time, intelligence isn't entirely quantifiable
IQ might not be the best metric but it’s the best metric we have. Unless someone somehow makes IQ two, we have no other way of measuring someone’s intelligence into numbers to compare with people
Actually there might be... Couldn't find much documentation about it, but there is something called J-score (not even sure...) that pretends to be more accurate for whatever reason. I know it exists from my uni in which some people were working on the subject, sorry I couldn't find any good sources
The thing is: we don't give a fuck. You are defined by your actions, not your intelligence, so IQ is good enough to at least tell if you're braindead or not
It’s a decent way to quantify an specific intelligence type, but it’s far from being an accurate representation of how smart someone is.
I can give you that, but yeah it's not really possible to fully determine intelligence
Might still have a point though. World could be a better place if top 80% was allowed to vote
OOP is not even in the top 80%
In a world of 8 billion people, OOP isn't part of the top 6.4 billion smartest people.
Its absurd, but also a really clever ad. I bet thousands of people just went to their site and tried taking the test, only to discover you have to pay for results xD
Try agin, see if you have result that you want, if not repeat
They're not wrong that removing the bottom 20% of the population in terms of IQ would probably result in better election outcomes
It would be
Not even in the top 80%
Is ok if you're brazilian
Result comment checks out.
Funny thing is I actually think Trump is really smart but it's the kind of scumbag, willing-to-sell-grandma kind of smart.
Test result: "I rest my case"
Kamikaze by words
Let's see if I can trick them.
It is needed to exchange around a dozen american male deers with the assessment-makers should one want to understand such an assessment.
They're not wrong
This has already been posted hundreds of not thousands of times. Every one of them is a troll post.
i mean, it tracks
Thanks to this shitpost I lost $10 because I was curious of my results
Same… what were your results?
In case anyone would be interested: they are of the type of company to let you go through all the questions 40mins max, probably necessary 30) to then tell you to purchase a plan (minimum 10$ to receive your result...)
To be fair, that shit was worded awfully.
isn't anything below 85 considered mentally challenged?
They werent wrong they just assumed they would be allowed to vote
Suspect that anyone who believes that this is genuine is also in the top 87.15% To me it looks like a dig at MAGA supporters who are probably too stupid to realise that they are being roasted.
Anyone struggling to interpret what this means, you are probably are getting percent and percentile confused.
98th percentile / top 2% is what will get you into Mensa. Top 87.15% barely qualifies as being suitable cannon fodder for the armed forces.
Are you kidding me man! I completed the test just to find out you need to pay to see the results!
That's their whole thing. All of these posts are hidden ads (though maybe unintentional when being posted here). But as there are no rules against advertisements on this sub, there is no way to get rid of them.
This is advertising from this company. Have to pay 10$ to get results. Don't waste your time. Also, I'm ready for the bot farm to downvote me, bring it on.
Lost my time too. Should have read the comments before trying to do it.
Ngl, Most IQ tests are a waste of time, paid or not
Appreciate it, friend
Damn, a lot of downvotes.
Someone had to do it
Why you’re being downvoted you’re just saying facts
The company pays for bots to downvote dissenters. That’s why you see the downvotes but no comments explaining why.
I just wrote a comment that should get past bots. We'll find out in an hour.
reddit in a nutshell, lol
Why tf did you get downvoted
Easy. This is a simple advertisement.
The authors use bots to downvote the truth. Such that people don’t see this and just pay once they reach the end of the test.
Knowing it would cause them to not try. I am willing to buy 100 upvotes so that this is the first comment you see
That's cringe
