Default Recommend a reliable IQ test

Out of curiosity what my IQ score is, can anyone recommend a reliable one I can complete online?

Had some weird search engine results after looking for one. It feels like advertisers categorize this along with tarot card readings and fortune telling

IQ testing is dubious at best, but contact any Psychological office in Calgary (Janus, Insight, etc) and schedule a Culture Neutral test, IQ test, EQ test, Myers-Briggs etc etc etc if you want some kind of real, detailed result.

Online tests are hot garbage, while professional tests are just okay.

I'm sure somebody can recommend something, but just don't take them too seriously. IQ tests are actually quite weak at giving accurate results. Intelligence is a damn complicated thing and you generally need multiple tests to gather anything useful.

tell me about it... it's one of those things where search engines has failed me

I was hoping to avoid Psycnet's advice and see a psychologist and pay their astronomical fees. But if that's the only reliable way, i guess i'll deal with it

Thanks

I rocked the GMAT, so I like to think that's indicative of a high IQ.

Stanford Binet is one of the most common. IQ tests are not completely objective, a true test of intelligence would test ones ability to learn new concepts in a variety of different areas, I know there are pattern recognition tests in an IQ test and I know exactly how they work which does not mean I am smarter than someone who doesn't.

2 brothers, from Italy I think, studied specifically for the SB and got over 190. That doesn't make them geniuses though because technically their IQ was higher than Einstein's and Teslas but they didn't revolutionize anything with their ideas.

The PCAT was not needed to enter the Pharmacy program at the UofA, so I never did it. Just wanted to join in the iq party

I don't need a test to tell me I'm an idiot. I already have a wife for that.

I did a professional test once at a business I worked for. I don't pretend to know how accurate they are but at the end of the day I tested up to a superior IQ so I expect they are somewhat accurate.
