Well.. tell me where to take the test for free and I'll tell you.. I'm not going to pay for a useless test.. which is a sign that my IQ is higher than average...
I had an IQ test done on me when I was like 11 years old I think... I scored pretty high, third in my whole promotion (out of 100 people) and first in my class....The only thing that sh*t accomplished is to boost my weak self-steem in a wrong manner, so that I, still a stupid little child, thought that my supposed intelligence would do everything, and that sweat and hard work were not necessary... After some years of mediocrity, I realized how stupid it was to divulge those results in people who were not ready to take them....

Studies show that excessive exposure to Dream Theater kills significant brain cells*, so if your score comes in lower, you have nothing to be ashamed of. 
*Of course, I made that up, but based on some of things that people here on PA say about DT you would think this was true. -------------

I used to have a genius IQ -- I have no idea what it is now, but I
expect that my IQ has dropped very considerably over the years
(exacerbated by an anxiety, fatigue, and thyroid disorder -- I find it very hard
to concentrate on even the simplest tasks sometimes, and my memory is
deteriorating). One's EQ is very important, and in that regard I don't
fare well at all. I grow dimmer by the year -- times of clarity have become infrequent.

Interesting to see that nobody is below average, though I am sure the online tests are inaccurate. I was tested by a psychologist in a 3-hour test. 150 on the dot for me! -------------

DT's compilation album Greatest Hit..(and 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs) probably accounts for 22 points right there; so before DT you could easily have had a score of 150. -------------

On a serious note, I agree. The fact that people think they can determine "intelligence" with a test baffles me. But like previously stated, it's good for a laugh and should be taken with a grain of salt. -------------

Well I am completely useless at those mathematical tests but I'm not bad at the Literacy and Pattern Matching ones. However because the majority of IQ/Mensa tests I have looked at, consist of a lot of mathematics, I end up getting low scores. So I agree with Chris Syzygy on this. -------------

Congratulations! Your general IQ score is 156.
A person whose IQ score falls in the range of 144-160 is considered to be "gifted". If I took a real IQ test, I'd be surprised if I were to score above a 140, as that is rare enough. The IQ test measures a pretty narrow area of intellect - of which I don't even consider my strongest area - so I'm pretty skeptical to this score although I'd be equally skeptical to all internet IQ tests (especially if I did poorly :P). -------------

Although I do wish there was a middle option on the Myers-Briggs Test because I over analyse everything. e.g. You like to keep a check on how things are progressing Well... I like to check my CDs are on their way but I don't check all things, so "sometimes" would be a better option for me. -------------

That's due to our weirdness: "INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities." Although...
