Do you think they can measure well someone's intelligence?

I think not. Cause they dont use real life problems to solve.

Here is one test:
A quick one

They measure (an) aspect(s) of 'intelligence'. It's not a secret; use your brain and look it up.

You probably just think that because you didn't score very highly on them.

Well, mine is 140. As you could have guessed from my comments here, I'm highly intelligent. Almost genius-level. That's why I enjoy the forum games so much, they're only for intelligent, witty users.
I bet yours is much lower. Below 100?

Yep totally fine.
Or should I have started presenting my score?
So what if I would post it and you would just think I'm a liar?

I prefer QI.

It's an uncomfortable subject but yes. Our differences do not end at the neck.

Well, I'd call that an improvement.

Good luck with this thread.

Orkhepaj:
Why don't you want to tell us your score? Is it that embarrassing?
I just can't think of any other reason why you would have created this thread.
And the premise is just wrong, the capability for abstract reasoning which can transcend common real-life problems is obviously a sign of higher intelligence.

138/125 on 27/33 completed - didn't know it was timed. When I went back and finished the last 6, I got 150/133.

No, IQ tests aren't a measurable test of knowledge to me. They were initially invented to identify mentally disabled people and are subjected to cultural, urban biases anyway.
