Ron Paul supporters, take this IQ test!!!

[uncloned21]

Hello fellow supporters:

I am curious how advanced the average Ron Paul supporters intelligence is. Please take this IQ test and post your scores.

very cool!

[ItsTime]

some do not need to take the online test, some of us have been tested already lol

[paulitics]

My guess is you may need to subtract 5 to 15 points for ego. Matter of fact I think it has been statistically proven people exagerate when assessing their true intelligence.

Online Iq tests like "tickle" only tickle the ego, and are not accurate. I would subtract 20 points for true score.

[brandon]

I took this some time ago and got 136. I have also been tested when i was in grade school by a more professional test and scored 128.

I think this test inflates IQ scores. It has questions that depend on prior knowledge, not only on ones intellectual ability, which makes the results questionable.

Also, the majority of americans fall into the 90-100 range, and i think 95 is the average american IQ.

These are the people we need to attract, these are the voters who decide elections. So lets dumb it down a little!

Where do I find the most accurate testing?

No where on line. Contact psychologists in your area to find out if they are qualified to administer an official IQ test.

[Hope]

Online tests aren't very accurate. I voted in the poll based on what I scored on a state-sanctioned IQ test in second grade.

[Marshall]

I didn't take this as I did paper testing before and got a 163. My guess would be that early adopters generally are above baseline. I'm not trying to demean anyone, I just think that RP supporters are, in general, those intelligent enough to look beyond the MSM.

[austin356]

148 Administered by a Private school 3 years ago. No need to take it online since gots a more accurate score.

[risiusj]

I got a 131.
I never liked online IQ tests. You're going to base how smart I am by how well I know certain phrases/sayings?

I agree, but I find these poll results very discouraging. It is all fine and dandy if the original RP supporters are among the intellectually elite, but I was hoping by this point in the campaing we were reaching more of the "average" people.

[Kregener]

Freedom is a message that everyone can embrace. I don't think that we need to cater to braniacs to make this campaign work. Everyone can get behind Ron Paul.

I have an Otis-Lennon composite score of 133 from middle school, and scored 136 on this tickle quiz. I think both scores are equally useless. If you ever read up on the history of IQ testing, it's pretty disturbing material.

Agreed. You would think the Mensa members would be smart enough to know the inconsistencies and shortcommings of the IQ. I think alot of people's egos get in the way of objectively analyzing the IQ test.

No idea. I've never taken an IQ test and never will.

Yeah, I joined for one year based on an MAT score, mainly because I thought once you made it they gave you a plaque or something. I wanted one to hang on my wall at work to annoy a pain in the ass boss I had who thought she knew everything.

Anyway, I found out they don't give you a plaque but you can BUY one ( or a certificate or something to announce your membership). Plus when I started getting the monthly newsletter, I quickly found I didn't want to hang out with these people. Needless to say I didn't re-up the next year.

I'm lower than most of you guys; but in my defense, I've been out of school for a year, and working in a restaraunt isn't exactly mentally stimulating.

However, I'm going back next semester, to finish up that political science degree.

[quickmike]

I took this test a while back and got a 132. I wont take it again because I dont have the patience. I have a very short attention span when it comes to stuff like this. LOL

Its a pretty good measure of critical thinking skills, but beyond that I wouldnt call it very scientific by any means because its not timed from what I remember.

[ChrisM]

Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip 140

[richard1984]

142 according to this test, but, as has been established, online IQ tests aren't very accurate.

I've taken one online for an application to a scholars program back in high school that was pretty decent (the questions were better, and it was timed). Unfortunately, the URL was saved on my old computer that doesn't really function too well anymore. :rolleyes:

I thought that the "free result" was funny (I guess it is kinda accurate though :p):

Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game -- to imagine or anticipate what should happen next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with new ideas and this makes you a Visionary Philosopher.

You also have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns in all sorts of situations, a talent that adds to your visionary philosopher mind.

Some fun facts about IQ testing:

http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~rgibson/SATFascistOrigins.htm


The SAT was born from the initial IQ tests, written by French psychologist Alfred Binet. In the US, Lewis Terman and Robert Yerkes promoted the IQ test and made it a popular instrument to determine who should be an officer, in a segregated military, during WWI . Their IQ test was designed to prove the genetic advantage of races they had already identified as superior. Terman and Yerkes were executives in the American Eugenics Society (Mehler).

The AES encouraged the linkage of scientifically quantified intelligence test scores, race, and "race hygiene,"to purify the "race" of "low grade" and "degenerate" groups. In other words, Terman, Yerkes, and many influential scientists in the US, believed they could define exactly what intelligence is. They thought that intelligence is race-based and can be tracked by genes, that intelligence is biologically determined. They believed that to allow those identified as having bad genes to propagate would be to threaten the entire society. Terman and Yerkes believed some people are born superior, and the inferior are a threat to the general welfare (Mehler, Kuhl).

mmm- I don't know. I've taken a professional test and had the same results as here. At least I think that was the case.. of course, I'm not really smart enough to remember. :eek:

[Original_Intent]

I didn't take the online test I have done several of them (for fun). But I based mine of my PSAT/NMSQ, they used to give you an IQ range that you fell into based on that. My range was 128-140.

I don't put a lot of stock in IQ, I mean I have a pretty average tech support job, IQ shows potential, it doesn't mean you have done anything with it.

I have a friend who is supposedly 160+, he got a GED because he dropped out of high school and then took a couple of college classes.

[pcosmar]

136, but I tested at 148 several years ago with a real psychiatrist. I guess I'm getting stupider as I age, or would that be more stupid? I seem to recall that IQ is a measure of what you know compared to what you should know given your age. I guess I've I'm not learning as fast as I used to. Either that or I've run out of things to learn.

Or as a really old guy said to me once "I've forgotten more things than you know."

[werdd]

pretty good the average iq is 90-100, and probably less in america. This wasn't a a real iq test, real test are split between verbal and math but it was alot better than the stroke me iq test's that are out there, where i usually score 160 or something, i think it's a fairly accurate indicator.

[peacemonger]

Just so you are all aware. 100 is Average. The Standard Deviation is 15. The distribution of IQ scores in the Population is a normal distribution. If you scored a 115 then that would place you at the 84th percentile. 130 means your IQ is higher than 97.5% of the population. Anything higher than that is gravy. IQ scores don't predict satisfaction in life, work, or anything else. They don't predict career success or wealth. As long as a person's real IQ is adequate, the only thing that matters is hard work.

It doesn't matter how smart some test says you are. All that matters is RON PAUL. And he is smart enough to win this thing if we do the grunt work. We need more ground pounding foot soldiers in this revolution. A few less thinkers and a few more doers might be beneficial.

[honkywill]

i've taken this test twice before. the first time i was alert and the second time was a year later when i was asleep.

the first time i had done it and thought i couldn't get my score unless i paid. so i exited and forgot about it.

the second time i took it having forgot about the first time until it said i had already registered.

i learned then i didn't have to pay for my result! so the second time(the sleepy time) i got 132, but the first time i learned that i had got 154.

when i was younger i was placed in the "gifted" program after taking a test. one of the qualifiers was an iq above 130.

[mavtek]

I've taken this test before and scored a 138, I'm not taking it again... Although I should I'm probably smarter now from listening to Dr. Paul so much.

Btw buffalo, I have found that intoxicants will increase your congnitive ability if you reach a "threshold". I won't write a dissertation on it but intoxicants of various types have been used across the eons to heighten cognitive ability.

Precision Processor

You've got a very experiential way of learning and a strong mathematical mind and you have mastered the art and science of precision. That's what makes you a Precision Processor. For you, life is a series of equations.

Your brain is naturally predisposed to intense mathematical acuity, so it's second nature for you to cut to the heart of an issue, to discover quick solutions while others get bogged down in unnecessary details. This allows you to communicate a variety of ideas to other people, so don't keep it to yourself.

This is too true... that is scary. Except for the sharing part. I think most everyone around me is a moron.

Facts Curator

Like a meticulous collector, you've fed your brain a unique set of facts and figures over the years and this makes you a Facts Curator. Whether or not you intend to absorb every piece of information that comes your way, your mind is a sponge for knowledge.

The words in your head could almost fill a dictionary, and you're equally adept at manipulating numbers and detecting important patterns in number sequences. "


Although this test is good at stroking the ego and thus helping to move the money from your pocket to the website operator, I do not think this test is very good for accurately assessing any high IQ people that we may have on these boards.

There are other tests which can differentiate between people with high IQs much better:

"Estimate of Hoeflin Power Test Norms

by Garth Zietsman
Published with permission from the author

In order to estimate Power Test norms I calculated the curve relating the probability of passing any included item to IQ. I relied on logistic regression for this purpose using the item information available for the Mega and Titan Tests. Using these curves I calculated the expected raw scores of the 29 combined Mega and Titan items in the Power Test for all IQ points between 120 and 200. Next I made the assumption that the 7 Ultra Test items included in the Power Test will behave quite similarly to the Mega and Titan items and that they would have the same average difficulty levels. If these assumptions are acceptable then the full raw score out of 36 (for any IQ) can be estimated directly from the equivalent 29 Mega plus Titan item raw scores by multiplying by the constant 36/29. In the Table below are the estimated IQs associated with Power Test raw scores. The equivalent cut-offs for various high IQ societies would be:


Mensa, Camelopard 4
TOPS, Intertel 6
OATH, TNS, ISPE, Iquadrivium, Glia 16
Prometheus 26
Mega 32
Giga 36

When you consider that on this test the average Doctor, Engineer, MBA or CEO would barely make 2, the average professional mathematician, physics PhD from MIT or Phi Beta Kappa would average around 9 or 10 and that the average science Nobel Prize winner would barely get 50% (18 or 19) you realize that this is one tough test.

There are other kinds of intelligence besides geometrical, mathematical, spatial etc.

A low score on an IQ test does not make you stupid necessarily: You could be a genius in music, art, poetry or any number of other fields.

PS. I am in no way affiliated with Hoeflin. I simply wanted to point out availability of other tests.

I should also point out that having high intelligence does not necessarily make people better (in the sense of being a humanitarian).

Some of the most evil people out there are very intelligent and this "intelligence" leads them to rationalising evil away eg. eugenics and vote weighting due to voter intelligence.

Furthermore, highly intelligent people can be arrogant and elitist.

They also tend to get stuck in their way of thinking and not take other people's advice.

"Summary of my activities

Paul Cooijmans

This is an overview of fields in which I have been active or interested.

High-range intelligence testing

In the mid-1990s I started designing tests to find out to what extend it is possible to measure intelligence beyond the valid ceilings of the tests used in regular psychology. Over the years I began to study other aspects of (high) intelligence as well, and also founded several IQ societies. My IQ tests and related activities are the most successful endeavour in my life so far in that they are appreciated by thousands around the world.

Music

From 1980 on I have been playing guitar, and from about 1981 I have been composing. I first played rock (in a self-founded band called Catweazle), then jazz, then classical music, and studied guitar and composition at a conservatory from 1986 to 1993. Since the mid-1990s I have performed and composed very little because it turned out impossible to connect to the outer world through music; making a living with it, getting compositions played and/or published and getting concerts as a guitarist were not feasible. My fairly large oeuvre always remains available for musicians who wish to play it though.

My work in music theory of 1992 is my first major achievement in science, and one of my greatest original, innovative ideas (although few understand that yet).

Literature

Since about 1981 I have been writing, mainly short stories in Dutch. In the 1990s I have also lectured from those and won a literature prize. Publishing and selling these works in paper form have not succeeded on a significant scale. About all of it can be read online now, and I am still available for lectures.

Philosophy

Topics in my philosophical work are sense of good and bad, justice, truth, objective ethics, treatment of crime, human quality and awareness. In short my insights are that truth and good and bad are objective and the opposite of relative (I avoid the word "absolute" here as I know some mistake that for "divine").

An important idea of mine is that only what can be verified by aware beings exists.

Running

I have been running, mainly for health and now and then in races, since about 1986. My longest run is a solo run along the Wilhelmina Canal in the south of The Netherlands, about 56.8 kilometer, in August 2006.

Psychology

The main concept I study in psychology is that of genius, which I see as a synergy of conscientiousness (which includes ethics in my definition), intelligence and associative horizon. Genius' opposite I call inferiority. Other fields of interest are personality, early memories and Asperger Syndrome. Also I observe the mistaken notion of "emotional intelligence" (previously called "social intelligence" and who knows what names for the same will come next) being used to downplay real qualities like conscientiousness and intelligence. There is no scientific basis for this, and psychology is serving an ideological and political purpose by providing instruments like "EQ tests" and stressing the importance of the supposedly measured qualities therein.

Politics

I have been thinking of intelligent, rational ways to rule a country. Vote weighting based on intelligence in elections is an important original idea of mine. I am hard on crime, advocate freedom of speech, choose safety over security, fight overpopulation and lean towards eugenics.

Economy

My main concerns in this field are to achieve income differences that reflect the natural differences between people in ability and achievement, and to eliminate inflation. Both problems - inflation and too large (inflated!) income differences - are, at the root, caused by the existence of ways to "make money with money", and those ways must therefore be abolished. Examples of these ways are interest, dividend, insurance and the myriad covert ways of lending against interest that go by as many euphemisms. Another way of phrasing the solution is to say "money itself must never be subject of trade". Yet another way: people must only buy what they can afford, that is, pay for without borrowing.

Informatics

In 2001 I started using a modern computer and making my web site, and therefore learning about web design and the many markup, scripting and programming languages. I have taken several courses in that field and started working in programming in 2005. Being a late newcomer on the Internet, I have a fresh view and see right away the things that are so horribly wrong in most "professionally" "designed" web sites.

Evolution

The importance of studying human evolution lies in understanding how humans came to be and how the current individual and group differences between humans came to be. It has become clear to me that the popular "Out of Africa" hypothesis is probably wrong.

Revelation

In January 2006 I by accident discovered a hidden message in the Rider-Waite Tarot that apparently no one had seen before in 95 years. It is of some importance. Although this is not at all my normal field of work, it is one of my major feats."

Notice the arrogance, self-importance, ego and evil rationalising? I hope that you do because this guy is extremely intelligent.

The point is IQ is overrated.

Your IQ score is 129!

You have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information and this, combined with your logical mind, means you are a Visual Mathematician. You can manipulate multiple parts of the picture (or problem) to come up with a solution and can understand the "big picture," which is partly why people may turn to you for direction.

Like Einstein, your ability to detect patterns and your skills in maths and logic, make it natural for you to come up with ideas and theories that simplify processes for everyone.


This test is bullshit. Im as dumb as a rock! :confused:

[TruckinMike]

We need more ground pounding foot soldiers in this revolution. A few less thinkers and a few more doers might be beneficial.

TruckinMike to the Rescue!!!!

We have a lot of Ron Paul supporters in Mensa, and some in the Triple Nine Society. No big surprise.

Your IQ score is 129!

But I can bench press 225 and deadlift 315! And I have two music degrees, how much does that add to my score? :)

I've scored between 135 and 105 taking online IQ tests. Some of them have more verbal problems (which I'm better at), some of them math, and some are just a series of those maddening "which shape comes next" questions. If they had music theory questions I'd be set.

[winston_blade]

136.....I should have done better.

[Johnnybags]

136.....I should have done better.

Perhaps I should have gone slower or used a pencil. I feel like a dullard now. Thanks alot whomever suggested it, you have ruined my day.

You'd probably have been well over 140 if you hadn't wasted all that blood feeding those massive muscles instead of your brain...

I can't believe I missed the top poll tier by 1 point.

[RonPaulIsGood]

Online IQ tests are usually inflated.

Take a more accurate IQ test: http://nicologic.free.fr/
I score about 150 on these tests.

[TheEvilDetector]

I think that the original IQ test in this thread is incapable of testing for the IQs that it comes up with.

It seems that the IQ test is pathetically easy and is designed to be so, to boost the ego of anyone who takes it and
help drive the cash towards the scammer who put it up.

If you want to see a selection of serious high range IQ tests please check this link: http://www.eskimo.com/~miyaguch/

It is my feeling that the 120-140 range the test gives is in reality more like a 100-120 range that one would hope this "test" is capable
of differentiating on the "smart side" of the IQ curve.

I think that those that are higher than 120, would need to do a test from the above link to see exactly where their IQ lies.

IQ testing is a very grey area, because cultural, linguistic, mathematical and scientific factors/backgrounds do come into play for some tests.

[max]

I agree, but I find these poll results very discouraging. It is all fine and dandy if the original RP supporters are among the intellectually elite, but I was hoping by this point in the campaing we were reaching more of the "average" people.

you wont get the average voter until you start attacking the other candidates ...

[RonPaulIsGood]

it'll be easy attack giuliani and romney and make them switch to Ron Paul
