<p>Anyone know where I can take a legitimate IQ exam in person? I’m not quite certain, but I heard psychiatric facilities hold them? </p>
<p>Also, how much is it?</p>
<p>What if you find out your stupid???</p>
<p>Then s/he could ask for a refund…</p>
<p>You take them with a psychologist, and they’re extremely expensive. Why would you bother?</p>

<p>This…</p>
<p>Check to see if you can take them with your school’s clinical psychologist, or maybe even with the Psych department. I had to take one my Junior year of high school to see if I qualified for MENSA and I didn’t have to pay anything.</p>
<p>I’m sure whatever organization you need them for will have resources on where to go.</p>
<p>is it possible to raise your IQ?
what did you get on your test zapadnyrs?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, I just barely qualified for MENSA (~130)</p>
<p>The test was really odd… The first part was a series of “what’s missing” questions, where I had to answer what was missing in the picture (a shoe with no heel, a digital watch missing a colon separating the hour and minute). The second part I was asked a bunch of random questions (famous rights activist and wife of an Argentinian President - Eva Peron, who was the first to circumnavigate the globe and in what year?- Magellan in 1619, what famous European explorer was a long time guest of Kublai Khan?- Marco Polo)</p>
<p>I’m sure you’d be able to artificially raise your score by doing test after test. How IQ tests are supposed to be representative of your intelligence, I have no clue.</p>
<p>You can check into Mensa, normally their regional clubs hold testing every few months or so. I think it’s around $50-$75 to take the test, but it’s been awhile since I went.</p>
<p>I believe I have the IQ to get into MENSA, but it doesn’t mean much in the end. Besides, IQ tests are easy to fool. For each successive IQ test you take you get better at taking IQ tests. It’s not about getting smarter, it’s about knowing what to expect and how to analyze/figure it out.</p>
<p>Case in point, IQ tests aren’t advanced enough and thus are a waste of time/money.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Its not the proctors fault if the tester is stupid.</p>
<p>Be aware that you are facing some steep competition for this exam. The pok</p>
<p>^Mine certainly never have, and I’ve taken a fair few-- it’s part of learning disability testing, not because I felt I needed to know that badly. 
But I believe there may be more than one test. I’ve only ever taken the Weschler.</p>
<p>They tested me for dumbness (basically) when I was younger and I think I had a psychologist from the local public school test me.</p>
<p>My sister had like a state psychologist test her.</p>
<p>Your IQ can change.</p>
<p>Mine was average in the first grade and was genius level in the third grade.</p>
<p>My sister’s went from like 50 something to 70 something. (I think. I know it went up by about 20 points, but she’s been in intensive therapy for the past five years.)</p>
<p>IQ is stupid though and worthless. I wish they wouldn’t test people’s IQ’s. I wish they would just teach people and expect people to do their best. You don’t need a number to gauge that either. And for that matter, I think gifted programs are dumb as well. [As you can tell, I haven’t had the greatest experience with these programs…]</p>
<p>I took the Wais Iq test. Also i’m 20 years old
verbal comprehension: 110
perceptual reasoning: 117
working memory: 119
processing speed: 127</p>
<p>Full scale Iq score: 122</p>
<p>What should I be majoring in?</p>
<p>
What interests you and/or what you’re good at.</p>
<p>IQ test isn’t going to tell you what you should major in.</p>
<p>Weschler has a trivia section, it is called “Information.”</p>
<p>okay, yes i know that; but what i’m trying to ask is if I am smart enough to do a hard major like Electrical Engineering. Also, I have a learning disorder nos. verbal-auditory learning-76</p>
<p>If you work hard enough, I am a firm believer in being able to do well in any academic subject. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.</p>
<p>If you want to do electrical engineering, then look back at your time in classes related to that major. Were they overwhelmingly difficult for you in high school? If so, the EE is probably not a good move, but if you were able to handle Calculus and science in school, then why not give it a go?</p>
