Ouf... Just finished the test in question. Took a while to get to my score, but they did give it to me in the end. Interestingly, the score I obtained is very similar to an IQ score I obtained on a different test I took back during my under grad (unfortunately, I forget the name of the test... It was an Occupational Scale of some sort). Anyhow, the scale was not an IQ test, but had been correlated with the WAIS, and according to our scale score, we could infer our IQ score.
This being said, the Web based IQ test you sent us to obviously has some issues. The one that stands out is: What Standards are being used. The test is also based on relatively few questions ( 40 I think). The conditions of administration can vary widely (there are no specific instructions on "how" to take the test). So in the end, it is entertaining at best (in my opinion anyhow). Could be a fun exercise for Research Methods or Psychometrics students to criticise such a test I'm curious to see what others have to say about this test...
