IQ Test?

I've done a few IQ tests previously but most of them aren't of very high quality.
Have any of you done a moderately good one online that is free?

Thanks.

With that said, when are GAT results released again?

The ones online are close to useless.

IQ tests need to be properly standardised with pretty big samples to be of any use (mean of 100, SD of 15).

And they have a statement of marks for the GAT as well! I mean, no offense, but WTF? :P People can just circle what answers they got on the actual GAT booklet, and look at them when results come out. No use forking out the $8.20 when you can find inexpensive ways of doing the same thing. :P

It all comes in the results package, so there is no use in paying money for something that isn't important, at all in my opinion.

I think I did a real life one in year 7. They never told me the result hah. They made me go visit the person who looks after the veggie kids and she asked me if I would mind answering this quiz and later my assistant head of house told me she set it up.

Based on that experience, internet is 100x better. I'm sure I did bad because I noticed the questions were getting progressively harder, but only after the 3rd set or so was I understanding what each question in the set was actually asking (so I would have gotten most of the easy ones wrong due to not comprehending it lul). Waste of time, go internet or something not delivered verbally.

I remember them making us do one when I applied for a scholarship at St. Kevin's in grade 6. Didn't realise it was an IQ test until I went home and told my parents about all the tests... But yeah, like Mel said, the questions get progressively harder, it's quite different to blagogoogle-style IQ tests.

Did they tell you what you got for it?

Mine won't be accurate in the slightest, we never revisited the easy ones once I knew what they were asking. :(

wtf. That's so young? Children at that age generally can't think logically or classify things into coherent categories, I wonder why did he take that? Also you realize that 87 is lower than average, yes?

Is someone trying to imply that the GAT is an IQ test?
