    this was my guess. i am not even sure that it is correct. probably not.
    1st - 07
    2nd - 79
    3rd - 41
    4th - 13
    5th - 85

    3rd = (1st + 5th) / 2 + 5
    3rd = (2nd + 4th) / 2 + 5

    yeah. I've taken harder pattern finding tests. usually I get high 120s to mid 130s.

    IQ = 133! I think this test is accurate. Go to a business that uses uneducated workers and imagine having the staff take the test. Their tests would be very low. We are obviously not idiots here. We are all deep thinking people with an interest in a puzzle like system of Russian psychology. We are a different crowd than, let us say, the work staff at a fast food establishment, or assembly workers at an outsource plastic thermoforming shop that makes the toolboxes for fire trucks.

    Uh, I used to work at a place that made plastic toolboxes for fire trucks. I was surrounded my literal morons at that place. We are not dumb people here. They, at my former place of work, are dumb people. That is your real IQs everybody. The score of 133 is very close to what my ACT and ASVAB tests would indicate.

    I presently work at an Art Museum. Everybody has a bachelor’s degree, even in security. Most are seeking masters and doctorate degrees. One of our guards has a master’s degree from Harvard, another went to Pepperdine, a third went to Hampshire College, a fourth left the museum to get a master's at Sotheby’s in London, a fifth went to Oberlin College, a sixth is entering his PhD program (that is me) and so on. I basically work with graduate students. Thus, in our little hangout, most of the guards think that we are average -- BUT THEY NEVER MADE PLASTIC TOOLBOXES FOR FUCKING FIRETRUCKS. I did. I know what real morons look like.

    We on this forum are very similar to the Museum staff. We are a bunch of geniuses. We are not around genuine dipshits. We can sometimes lose sight of that.

    Not going to bother taking this test, since I know its worthless. It's common knowledge that online IQ tests are highly inflated to make test takers feel better about themselves. If everyone is getting 130 to 140, you know something is wrong with the test.

    Edit: I decided to take the test, it was pretty easy, I got 139. I don't think I'm that smart haha. The test is obviously rigged.

    Mhmh. I think the best IQ test is the one based on Raven's Progressive Matrices.

    I got them all right. I think one issue is that a lot of the questions are actually the same question.
