I just took two different IQ tests in the first one I had an IQ of 115 and in the other I had an IQ of 112. Now an IQ of 100 is average intelligence anything above that is basically above average intelligence, anything above 120 is basically a genius. Does the outcome of the IQ tests prove something of my racial background being Caucasoid? Most Blacks fail terribly in IQ tests and they mostly have an IQ of 75, Hispanics with 85, and Whites have an IQ of 100 and above. Now an IQ of 95 is still considered to be somewhat average, 85 is below average but not to a severe point. 75-60 is considered to be chronic basically near mental retardation. What do you guys think about this?

Did you take the online once or the actual iq test in a testing facility? 115 is very good and has you said 100 is the average so congratz!!!!!!! but still you fail short of getting an iq score of 132 or more because if you did you could have joined MENSA LOL www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J95-moyVuEand this www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiYqVnX22fw(A LOT OF THEM ARE WEIRD I HAVE MET SOME OF THEM AND YOU WILL SEE IT IN THE SECOND VIDEO)

Yeah it was a real IQ test, an IQ above 132 is basically a genius lol I don't think I'm a genius! What makes you intelligent actually is if you read a lot, and memorize and keep asking yourself questions basically working out your brain. I try not to think too hard, because if you think too hard on things you won't actually understand it and you actually listen to the questions that are being asked instead of jumping the gun. Its better for people to read the questions that they are being asked repeatedly or more than once and then answer. That's what I do.

Thats true sister and there is a distinction between thinking to hard and thinking critically. Thinking to hard makes you crazy and you see things that are not important and you get lost in them, while thinking critically let's you pick and choose and focus on the important matter.

I don't think Iq test is accurate in telling people their level of intelligence and potential
Dr. Howard Gardner Decided in 1983 to develop a new way of looking at intelligence by breaking it down into types of intelligence. These were the groupings he decided were appropriate for describing types of intelligence:
1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”) 2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”) 3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart) 4. Existential Intelligence 5. Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart”) 6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”) 7. Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart) 8. Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart”) 9. Spatial Intelligence (“Picture Smart”)

That's a very good score sister! It bodes well for your (and by extension this board's) future.

@ Leader I don't put too much stock in the current IQ test formulations either. In their present form, they're too culturally biased to be of much value. wilderdom.com/personality/intelligenceCulturalBias.htmlThis is not to say that there aren't differences in raw intelligence between various population groups. There very well could be. However, no tests (at least as far as I'm aware) have yet been devised to adequately calibrate them.
