Hello, have your ever taken an IQ test? At least some internet longer one that might have looked like it might have some information and value in it?

What score did you got?

Only "Graphic people" need apply - 3D, 2D, animators etc. (if its graphic, its allowed - we dont like programmers :-) )

(reason for asking - just curious... i think 3D design especially and animating etc. are populated with people with a bit higher IQ, lets see if my personal hypothesis is somewhat correct :-) )

thank you

    Do you have an IQ test you can recommend that is free and well verified?

    What do you have against programmers?

    People with high IQ's understand the value of lying to make themselves look better. Dummies do the same thing, though they don't understand why.

    Me? I'm a genius, whichever number that is.


    Seriously though, I feel the only utility of this is to pat oneself on the back. "I'm a member of an excluuuusive club!"

    Every smart person understands that the entire breadth of what they know and can possibly know is very little. Only morons think they understand anything. Thus, a smart person is eternally humble, and thus they are constantly learning. Like an infant. 

    Also, knowledge is essentially useless on it's own. If it is not passed on through generations, it's junk. So comparing yourself to others doesn't do anybody any good, and it may make you less likely to share and spread what you've learned.

    my iq is 200 i swear


    Edit: But seriously, I've got an IQ of 131 apparently



    Which  is BS because I'm usually the dumbest person in the room where ever I go.

    Why do we care so much about IQ anyway? 

    I can see in this thread that we've all met people with supposedly high IQs but are as dumb as a plank, online and offline.

    So we all know it's a meaningless number, but society(or maybe just a collection of online neckbeards) makes it out as this number that will define everything about you.

    Some of the thickest people I’ve ever met have “better than average IQs”. It wouldn’t surprise me if Trumps claims about his own are true. 

    Its utter bollocks

    I don't believe that there are any free/online IQ tests that mean anything when compared to any other testing, there's plenty of argument over that around the net, and most people suggest going to a psychologist to be tested if it's important to a person. There may be merit in determining some area of deficiency in a person's mind/ability, but you need a norm to compare against. Anything else is just self congratulation.

    I dont, you have to google yourself :-), i took two internet ones in my native language, seemed like they might be a bit "serious" (eg. have some value in them for determining my IQ, i have never taken proper IQ test in some organization), But i think thats most people, thats why i permin "internet test" to have at least some results :-)


    Programmers are the evil of this world! :-) what do you have to even ask :-).
    No but serious - i just want results for GRAPHIC people, thats why i wouldnt like any other profesion to vote.
    (Besides no matter what IQ on average graphic people will have (lets see the results), programmer will have higher IMHO.

    To all the "IQ means nothing, its not important, its hard to measure online etc,". Firstly - less philosophing, more VOTING! :-) Spread it to your graphic friends. Secondly-  you are wrong. Google more about it :-).

    Thirdly- I just realized, of my friend who works in Graphic Design (3D) and i know about his IQ - its 14x (something, like 142 i think)

    I've taken one for a psychology student back in the day. It was based on my skill set and compared to other people with my educational/social background (data base was based on German speaking countries and shared among universities) to see what job / higher education would be fitting for me. I got results for ~13 topics (logic, understanding of 3d, understanding language, short and mid-term memory,...) - they were measured how well you did compared to others who made the test and not in IQ-numbers, since those are highly questioned by experts and mostly viewed as antiquated... but naturally those were not some random test on the internet that definitely have some very very serious results...

    Not to be rude, but most online IQ tests fudge the results to give higher numbers than a real IQ test would, in order to make the taker feel good about it and spread it around to their friends. Any of the ones I've encountered have about as much value as a Facebook personality test.
    On top of which, even legitimate IQ tests are fundamentally flawed, because "intelligence" isn't some simple thing that that can be summarized by a single number. When most people think of "intelligence", they're thinking of comprehension or learning ability. But there are many facets to a person's mind, and it's rare to be good at all of them.
    You might be great at learning new things, but have the short term memory of a goldfish.
    You might have trouble understanding puzzles, but be able to navigate through a restaurant with your eyes closed because of how accurately you could memorize the layout and grasp relative positions.
    Someone with a full-on learning disability could have an eidetic memory.

    ... or like one guy i know, have an 'official' IQ of over 140, have a phd in one very specific sub-branch of a sub-branch of a particular science, but not be able to dress himself or understand the simplest thing outside of his job. He's not intelligent, he's a fucking plank.

    @Zack Maxwell  Yeah, every IQ test I've done online gave me a score of around 125. I'm not dumb, but 125 is pretty above average, considering 50% of the population is <100. All my friend's got scores above 120. Online IQ tests are ineffective.

    GUYS!!! Im disgusted... you actually DID sabotage my little IQ poll here, shame on you :-). I dont believe there are 7 people who have IQ of 90 or less :-)!

    But if you dont take these obvious trolls into account  than it quites proves what i thought. Graphic people should have higher then average IQ...

    nice finding.

    Somebody now write a scientific review on this :-).

    3D art is an incredibly deep and complex and subject, it requires more patience than perhaps sheer intellect to understand.

    The first time I booted up UDK back around 2011, I didn't know how this was a tool used by artists. It felt like input button after input button before you even got to the "can I actually make art with it?" part.

    Now years later, I have perhaps 100 bookmarks and notes saved dealing with PBR, polygon counts, lighting, texturing, compositing, blending, but I still feel like it's not enough. Anytime I try to talk about this stuff to ordinary people in real life, they completely zone out.

    Intelligence can come with age, experiences and much more.  Some people in all honestly even if they went to school seem to always remain a little on the dumb side; sure they throw they diploma in peoples faces but when the person walks away they may comment that the diploma didn't seem to do much good for them.

    Things is only IQ test are not a real mesure since you have time to think and change what you would have rapidly answer in a real IQ test, most people would probably score -20 IQ on a real test.

    If it's not an on-site overseen IQ test by Mensa or the like, I would say it's most definately bullshit. It's as useful as taking a facebook Harry Potter test and saying all "Graphic People" are, like, totally, Griffindor. 
    The irony is strong in this thread :p

    One's quotient isn't important, 
    The only reason I know my quotient
    is because when I was younger teachers thought I was disabled.

    The administration had me take several test and solve several puzzles within a fixed period  of time;  it turns out that I did much better than anticipated.
      It doesn't mean anything though, it's really just how fast you can solve puzzles and match objects; just the usual gaming business.
