In a very small part of my degree we looked at intelligence and IQ tests.

The main problem with measuring intelligence is that it's impossible to define intelligence in a way that everybody agrees on. One of the first measures of intelligence was tried by the aristocracy in the 19th century - they decided that intelligence must be related to physical strength and ability. They discounted this after tests using this criteria showed that the working classes they employed were more 'intelligent' then them. 

The 3 basic definitions generally used are:

1) How much you know.
    The link to the hard test here has quite a lot of this, but general knowledge like this is probably the least accepted measure of intelligence because somebody who never had any formal education might be very intelligent but has just never had the opportunity to develop it. I think this website uses these measures more for a commercial reason.

2) Your capacity for learning.
    This is basically what most IQ tests try and measure. All the logic questions and questions to do with - what comes next in the series? - are measuring this. The original tests like this were used to try and identify schoolchildren who would need help with the curriculum. Most modern IQ tests are just revisions of previous ones so what they generally measure is how well they could do in school exams - but even within this it would be expected that some would under perform and some would over perform based on the amount of effort they put in.

3) Theory of multiple intelligences
    This is the theory that you can't measure intelligence as a single figure as it isn't a single thing. Some people are logically intelligent, some people are verbally intelligent, some are spacially intelligent, (there are seven). This is the theory I think makes most sense - there's more information here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_intelligence - but it would be quite dull to type out what this article explains better.

So because of this last theory I'm not bothered about IQ tests at all - none of them really mean anything, what you lack in one small definition of intelligence you almost certainly make up for in another.

Gosh how I hate IQ tests, the result of one had far reaching consequences for me. There I was dawdling about happily in school, not working, see I was a lazy bugger even then, I didn't need to as I was coping well with no work and had the ability to keep up by working on the spur of the moment, you know the score - do your maths homework on the way to school and all that.. An interfering headmistress thought I ought to have an IQ test because she could "see something there", I took it got an "interesting" result, pushed up to a class were I was out of my depth and would have had work hard to catch up, couldn't be bothered to do that sort of thing and fell behind. Now if she had just let me go on my own sweet way I would have been fine.

I had a maths teacher at secondary school that used to mark the homework "per page"!

I'm not joking he didnt check the results just started from G and worked his way forward!!

The clever kids that got all the answers right and done all the homework crammed into 2 pages used to get Fs and us lot that done 2 sums per page got A+.

He got pulled up about it after one of the clever kids parents complained to the school.

He was even moaning about it to us lot saying" you always get someone who thinks they know best"!!!

Even if you think IQ tests do give a meaningful result the online ones aren't in the slightest bit reliable.

The only IQ test I've taken was a timed, supervised one under exam conditions, I scored 147.

It doesn't alter my opinion that IQ doesn't provide a meaningful measure.

Yep - I got a similar result to Jon in a 'proper' test.  All it means is that I am good at IQ tests (in effect, logic and reasoning).  My quiz teammates will testify after BB3, I'm sure, that being good at IQ tests is no good when it matters!

I have a similar thing in that i am just about the most unacademic and lazy person around but i do well on iq tests so i was in top class for everything but didn't remotely have the interest or drive to achieve anything with it.
