Because of the exchange rate, don't you divide your final score by 3 since you're Canadian? btw, this is the best site to test your IQ that I've found. www.highiqsociety.org/iq_tests/

134 (age 27, although I turn 28 next week)
I didnt like it though. I didnt like the time limit. I guess it goes to how fast you think. i will admit freely that I am not a fast thinker. I take my time and analyse things and really try to understand them. I have a high reading comprehension but dont read fast, that didnt help. I think slow but thoroughly, having to be hurried I didnt even answer a few questions on time.
Overall IQ tests dont mean anything.

I'm pretty much the same as Cal, but probably with worse reading comprehension.
Got 109 on the CBC, while I got a 122 on High IQ Society test.

I got a 114 on the High IQ test. Didnt like that one either. Not that I really give any weight to IQ tests at all (look at the difference in both our scores) but generally they measure knowledge more than brain capacity. The one you provided the link for had a lot of questions that pertained to specific knowledge such as characters in books and foreign policy. My step dad would have scored about a 60 on that, but he can take a car apart to each individual piece and put it back together, how many guys who made that test in that high IQ society can do that?
Ive scored from 111 to 143 on different IQ tests. Any given day I could score extremely different scores on the same test based on how tired I am, how much patience I have and so on and so on. The specific questions matter so much too. For example in math, depending on what kind of math it is I will either be helped or punished by that area of the test. In school during every math subject I either got it or I didnt and I would either get 100% in an subject or about a 20% just for showing my work. It was amazing how consistent that was right from grade 8 until grade 12.
I know it is all meant in fun, but getting a bad score (as I did on one) or a fairly good score (as I did on the other) doesnt really mean a lot to me, it is fun and that is all. I did have fun doing both and am always interested to see my score.
During the interview process for my current job I had to take an IQ test. They wouldnt tell me the score but at least I did well on that one.

The High IQ Society link I've used for about the past 3-4 years, and I've scored relatively the same (give or take 5-6 points), but they claim to not have the same test twice, just different variations.
As far as the car part, I agree. But I do think that IQ tests are meant to test a portion of your intelligence, not rank your brain as a whole amongst the rest of the world.

I just took the test on www.cbc.ca/testthenationRob: 132 [Age 26] I'd like to try it again though... I think I can do better.

The thing with IQ tests is that if you've taken a test before, you're new scores are not as accurate as you expect the types of questions and are more prepared.

123 for age 33, but I didn't have the sound on here at work, so I was guessing for most of the video questions.

I thought you didn't need sound, I heard you can read minds.

I thought you didn't need sound, I heard you can read minds. I can, but unfortunately my computer doesn't have one. Also, you really shouldn't be thinking of Bryce in that way. I think he's allergic to Canola oil and latex anyhow.
