Re: What's Your IQ?
No. Other than possibly nicologics tests, http://www.cbc.ca/testthenation/takethetest/ is the only other reliable test online (well, that I know of). This was created by a psychologist for CBC. Unlike the Ravens APM test (only fluid), this test tests crystallized intelligence and fluid. You'll probably score + or - 8 points of whatever you scored on iqtest.dk anyway because of the g factor.
Well, the funny thing is is that there are currently no tests used in professional psychological practice capable of giving an IQ beyond 166 (Stanford binet. Wechler maxes at 160, and every other test has a ceiling lower than that). So we have a perdicament.
You're either 1. Lying, or 2. This is a ratio IQ score (mental age/chronological age), or 3. This is the psychologists estimate.
Ratio IQ's are interesting. Not only are they horribly unreliable with gigantic standard errors, 179 is about 160 (or less) on this this test (even though the ceiling of this test is 145 XD). An IQ tested before the age of 10 has no practical significance IMO. They have shown very little reliability once the young child is tested again as an adult. The IQ usually ends up being significantly lower.
In the case of a psychologists estimate...well, lolz. An estimate at best. No practical value in this score IMO, it's better to just tell the parents the childs IQ is too high to measure XD
Uh
126 is 96th percentile. Don't say 'only', considering only 4% of the population is going to beat that score. 98th is 130, so this is very close to the score you got before...and certainly within the standard error expected.
And it's not just 'puzzles'. It's spatial-fluid intelligence, which is highly g loaded. G loaded refers to the fact that this ability is used in almost every mental task (thus important).
Actually, there is some debate as to what G REALLY is, but I won't get into that.

have taken two IQ tests, one for entry into my school (it's a GT charter school, and you need at least a 140 IQ to get in) and one simply because I was curious as to what my IQ was. I scored a 179 on the first one and a 183 on the second one. =/ I'm hella lazy though, so it really doesn't matter.

On this test I only got 126 but this test only looks at puzzle which is my weakest area. I did one three years back and I got somthing like 98 percentile which means I was smarter than 98 percent of kids in my age group but I didn't know my IQ. So I took an online one which had more than just the stupid puzzle crap and scored like 140 or 150 somthing however my puzzle mark brought it down as I am near mentaly retarted in that .
