IQ Problem?

yesterday, I was on this website (http://web.tickle.com/tests/uiq/index_main.jsp) for a free iq test, eventually, I got dissapointed about my iq result, I got 106. Im 14, top 8 in the class with an average of 92% (still hoping to be in top 5). My friend said that im only good at studying, but not that smart. So, any uggestions about improving my IQ?

That’s nothing to be disappointed about. Those Tickle IQ tests can prove nothing (I think anyway). Also, they say it’s for all ages in general. So yeah. And if you’re in the top achievers of your class, then it’s nothing to worry about. I’m 14 too and I kind of was disappointed with what I got (108, but I was rushing cuz I had to go to bed soon) months ago. But then I think that those IQ tests (as the above said) is complete bogus.

Edit:

Maybe try again, learn from it then try again? I think I should try taking a retest tomorrow. Right now, it’s in the middle of the night so I can’t do it. I’ll make too much noise. Those Tickle tests, by the way shouldn’t be taken seriously. I think they’re just there merely for entertainment. I’m in the smart class in my grade, and I won’t let a mere IQ test thing on the computer take me down, because I know that if I am determined and if I try, I can do better than that.

Online IQ tests are not accurate at all. If you want to know your true IQ you need to be tested by a psychologist who has had training in the area of IQ tests.

I took a 6 online IQ tests the other day and got 6 different scores ranging from 94-154. I took one at Tickle also, the score I got there was 6 points higher than what I know my real IQ is (test from a school psychologist).

It is possible to have an average IQ but great grades. IQ is more about your ability to think. Grades are often determined by your ability and willingness to study and memorize.

YOU can control what your grades are, you can’t really control your IQ too much. IQ is pretty constant after early childhood unless you get in an accident or have an illness that affects your mental abilities.

IQ is just your capacity to learn. You can’t improve your IQ, you can only make the most of what you have. IQ isn’t all that important really, what’s important is your motivation to learn new stuff, and your study habits.

And those IQ tests on the web are BOGUS! If you’re top 8 in the class your IQ is probably a lot higher than 106.

my mother is a psychologist and my father is a psychiatrist. They both know how to test somebody in terms of IQ and they both have the original and mostly-used IQ tests. They both do not believe that the results that someone had taken from Internet based IQ test don’t show the real results. If you want to have your IQ calculated, you should go to a psychologist. But they also say that you mustn’t have your IQ calculated until you are 18 or older. Brain keeps improving until then.

Also, as i am a nerd, some of my friends keep telling me that i just study and do not have any high IQ; but i don’t think that it is true. Someone with such capacity to learn and with such high marks must be smart! 🙂
