IQ tests are for elementary schools to place a student in the right program when the student is not fitting in the norm.

I agree. Online IQ tests are the equivalent of "What Backstreet Boy are you?", "Which Disney Princess are you?", and "How horny are you?". IQ tests esp, are only as good as their reliability and validity, which I'm sure would be really, really, low for any kind of internet test. With the exception of the Mensa freaks, I can't imagine anyone even caring unless it's to place a child/teenager in a special ed program. And even then, it's sketchy.
