robc Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Hi all, Been listening to Stefan for approximately 6 months now and I hear a lot about IQ. As someone who has never conducted an IQ test as far as im aware. Can anyone suggest some options that I have for conducting a test. - Is there a test that is considered the "Gold Standard"? - If the "Gold Standard" Test exists, where and how does someone conduct the test? - Do you get your score straight away? I apologise in advance if this has already been covered in previous posts and please feel free to just point me in that direction if that's the case.
Natalia Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Welcome to the board, Robc! If you really want an accurate assessment I would suggest taking the WAIS test in person (not online). Psychologists can offer such tests, I believe. I have failed to find a reliable WAIS test online. There are a couple of Raven's, but some give untrustworthy results, some no results at all (and only how many questions you got right), some are too short, some ask you to pay for results (which might not be that reliable). Raven's also only measures spatial intelligence. The best Raven's I found was this one:http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swfbut you can get 85 by just picking the same option in all questions, and the maximum score is 145, so not that good. Stanford-Binet is old is for children, and I couldn't find a free one either. 1
Kevin Beal Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 These are the standard tests here. The most commonly used individual IQ test series is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale for adults and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children for school-age test-takers.
