I did an online IQ test out of personal interest, although is is not linked to Hogz's signature in any way. I'm not sure if it was accurate, but from the research I've done it is between average to above average for my age. Apparently online IQ tests don't work though.

Also, please don't spam the forums ;)

They don't. And for a variety of reasons, pretty much no IQ test actually works.

IQ tests are biased in several ways, and every test has its own set of biases.
An easy problem to point out is that people who often do IQ tests will do better at IQ tests. This is because IQ tests are often centered around weird questions where they ask oddly worded things and a lot of unusual math questions.
Or weird specific history questions.

Often what they actually measure is how good you are at writing odd quizzes, rather than how intelligent you are.
If you just happen to be familiar with the area of expertise that the test is asking, then you will obviously do better. Are you smarter? Not necessarily.
Back when I used to attempt IQ tests, I'd suddenly get stuck on US history. I soon realized that IQ tests are retarded in this way. Even if it's not US history, there will always be problems in the test in what it asks and what the person happens to have knowledge of, or happens to be used to writing tests that happen to be written like the IQ test they happen to be taking.


Fun fact: IQ tests have been deliberately used to produce a bad score in order to fuck over an individual. I saw a movie of a girl in Alberta who was secretly sterilized while getting her appendix out because she scored poorly on an IQ test ("The Sterilization of Leilani Muir"), back when Alberta legally enforced eugenics. Later in life when she learned she was sterilized against her will, she got reassessed and had a high intelligence.

The reason she did poorly on the test was because the subject matter on it was simply not familiar to her.
