Hi
I think one of the problems with the IQ test is you need to be careful where you get it. If you just search on line because you want to take one more or less for fun, be aware that most people who provide stuff for free on line are actually trying to sell you something. SO you could download an IQ test that shows, surprise! that you are not very good at math. They then try to sell you a course to make you a wizard at math.
The IQ test has been around and fiddled with by smart people for a long time, so by now a real IQ test is probably fairly accurate at revealing your IQ. The question is, what does it really reveal? An IQ of 70 would get you into a special ed class and an IQ of 150 means you can get into MENSA with all the NASA scientists. But it doesn't reveal much else about you. If you really want to know your IQ, I suggest you go to a professional psychologist, or email a professor in psychology at your local university and ask him for the source of a reliable IQ test.
