I think your mood,amongst other things could affect you when writing,so I think an
average out of say 3 tests would be about right.
The highest I ever had was 142 and the lowest 125.

Where did you do your IQ test. Most of the ones online I don't really know if they're 'official' or not. I haven't done an IQ test for years... whereabouts could i get an official one anyway?

I would suggest taking the IQ test more than one time to see how accurate it is.

Did you know iq tests were originally developed to test children to determine which ones to send to school? if they failed, they were considered stupid and nobody bothered with their education. There were sets of questions for each age. If you answered questions right for your age, you were okay. if you were lower than your age you were stupid. But they did not take into consideration that if a four year old answers age 7 questions she is smarter than a five year old that answers five year old questions. Then someone decided that they werent very accurate for various reasons. Then a man came up with a new test that came out with a number instead of an "age score" and put it on a scale of one hundred. He figured the average would fall into 100 and below average below that and above average below that.

Anywho... every iq test has to be standardized and tested on thousands and hundreds of thousands of individuals to determine what score would be "Average" and so on and so forth. The questions have to be custom tailored and modified to suit the minds of the current society in order for it to be a standardized and accurate iq test. I am pretty sure the ones you took online were not "standardized" in the traditional sense but they do give you an idea on how you compare to others on the internet.

Well, the IQ tests I believe are quite accurate, even though there's a difference every-time you take the test, different tests, on those online, but those offline when it takes you at least 1-6 hours to do, basically what I want to say is that if you'll take some IQ tests ~1000 times, you'll have an average to some kind of number, so the difference of taking it 3 times or 1000 times, if everything was without cheating wouldn't and shouldn't be to much different if the tests were good enough.

I took IQ test in my mother tongue offline, on paper, I got 128, I also tried some online, which didn't need so much time and they were in English, not my language, as I remember, some were 142 and some were 121. It also depends on the mood, but generally IQ tests can tell a lot about how smart you are, how you think, how you memorize things and how you calculate in your mind, how you imagine things and how you think, IQ tests has nothing to do with information in my opinion, one can know a lot about programming and computers, other can know a lot about history, and even somebody can know lots about biology, knowledge has nothing to do with being smart (even though it does, but knowing something what others doesn't know doesn't make you smarter, you might not know what he knows, or have less experience in something he has)

In my opinion, normal people have IQ from 90-140, having less makes you less smarter, having more makes you a little bit smarter, but people are generally smart, someone can learn something in two hours, for somebody else it may take 2 days, but they both will know it and usually they both will forget it after a while

IQ TestingIq Test AccuracyI personally do not believe in the relevance or validity of IQ testing. IQ testing online is a growing phenomenon, and it is a fair assumption that the person being tested can only be as "intelligent" as the manufacturer of the test. Such tests can also be practiced/cheated. Who defines what intelligence actually is? IQ tests totally disregard the multiple intelligence theory, as their focus is on numeracy and literacy skills in isolation. Is a musical genius for example not intelligent, because of the field in which their outstanding capacity lies?-reply by colourlessteardrop
