I realize that that is something you would really *like* to believe. Certainly, when a site like IQTest.com gave me a score according to which it was statistically likely that I was the most intelligent person in the entire country, I would have loved to believe that.

Unfortunately, it's bullshit.

Looking at the thread so far, nobody has posted a score yet that wouldn't place them in the top 10% of most intelligent people. Doesn't that make you slightly suspicious of the test? (hint: look at the number of thread views, the scores reported here, and an IQ percentile chart)

I don't want to waste too much time on this, so I'll just point out the obvious: the real test here is whether or not you choose to believe a site offering "PhD certified" tests like the Ancient Tarot test, the Zodiac Match test, the How Sinful Are You? test, the Karma test, etc.
Why you got to piss on my parade here? I know it's not the most credible IQ Test around but there has to be some validity to it if I scored a 138 on a credible IQ Test that my pops gave me when I was about 18. He worked as a psychologist for the school system and so I have to assume the test was credible. I even went through the test again and just chose the 1st answer for every question and got an 82. Doesn't help the credibility of this test one bit in my opinion. You're right I would like to believe my IQ is still around a 135, I've done a lot to damage my brain cells in the past 10 years!
