Imho many norms are inflated, but not only on this site.

People who test their IQ on the internet have alot higher than those who dont.
If you count the whole population the IQ might be accurate;
problem is that for some the scores will be inflated, because of practice effect and such.

I disagree. My classmate who didn't even qualify for the Mensa Society with an officially administered test, can score 160+ on your tests. To put that in perspective, he scored 137 on LS 36 by Robert Lato and 145 on tests by Ivan Ivec.

Yes but I have also heard that many mensa testees scored alot lower on my tests than they did on the mensa test.
For example my "L33tus test ".
Also my tests may be a bit different than other IQ tests, that some are better with my tests

Or the opposite, lesser.
Yet as I say on my website, dont take the score too seriously
but do my tests for the fun of solving IQ puzzles.

I see. Thanks for the contrary example. My only point is that you shouldn't give scores 170+ so hastily, especially when test takers don't achieve the same scores on other renowned tests. IQ community is plagued with scores 180+, even though the same test takers would never score 170 on LS 36, and even 160 is doubtful. If there are so many geniuses, why has nobody beaten Predavec's scores yet? These 170+ and 180+ scores have no credibility; they only stroke the egos of ignorants.

IQ tests arent science or to be taken too seriously.
Also if you are highly intelligent you dont need an IQ test to proove you that,
this is something some people like to do (solving IQ tests ) and i offer them both free testing and payment required.
I agree tho that the scores shouldnt be higher , but also many of my tests have theoretical norm,
I would say it might be even harder to score good on my tests comparing with many other tests.
However maybe some my tests does have a bit high ceiling. The feedback have been very different during the years too
and why do people complain if their score is better than expected ? they did good on that test, even tho,
maybe it is not their actual IQ.

I would recommend this person to try any of my send-to tests (which have a bit better norm.)
