Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I was going to do something on photography but changed my mind...

Anyway, im doing my project on IQ testing and was wondering how i would test my subjects' IQs. Would u recommend online tests? I have found a couple on

http://web.tickle.com/
http://www.intelligencetest.com/

both of which say that the IQ tests are Ph. D approved. Do you recommend using one of these? Or do you have any other suggestions for me.

Thanx.

Your first url is a matchmaking service and may not work for your testing.

These two plus yopurother one will help. I suggest you use all three tests for each subject and conparethe responces.

Thanx 4 ur advice, ive kinda ticked off tickle anyway because u have to register to take the test and im not too sure the people in my grad will be willing to do that.

Ive gone onto many sites since and came across http://www.intelligencetest.com which i found to be pretty good. Ive gone onto http://www.iqtest.com and im not too sure im going to use it because you have to pay $10 for the detailed report which i think people would like to read (with the exchange rate as it is here, $10 is a lot more than u might think!). And on intelligence test u can get it for free.

Im busy going thru some of the tests on the link you gave. Let me know what u think of intelligencetest.com

Thanx a lot!

I suggest looking at a couple of the free tests (take them if you want) and use those questions for your subjects. You can them compare results of the subjects.

My guess is that the free sites will charge for a second one.

Good luck,
