08/26/1999: You tend to get higher IQs when you're younger

Posted By: Ken_Kaminski


The IQ scoring works different during the school-growing years (5-14, I didn't know what else to call them). They take the age-level intelligence that you have as reflected by how well you did on the test, divide that by your actual age, and muliply that by a 100. The test wasn't meant for adults, since most adults have the same level of intelligence regardless of their age, so someone made another version that scores differently. How, I don't know. I haven't taken an IQ test since I was 9. I got 178, even though it's only supposed to go up to 14. I don't know what that was all about (certainly not then). If I took it today, I doubt I'd score more than 130. That's usually how it goes for most people.
