Here are some things that I found out:
Lewis Terman (1916), who originally developed the notion of IQ, proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:
Over 140 - Genius or near genius
120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
80 - 89 - Dullness
70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness
As it relates to professions:
140
Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.
130
Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)
120
School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers.
110
Foremen; Clerks; Telephone Operators; Salesmen; Policemen; Electricians.
100+
Machine Operators; Shopkeepers; Butchers; Welders; Sheet Metal Workers.
100-
Warehousemen; Carpenters; Cooks and Bakers; Small Farmers; Truck and Van Drivers.
90
Laborers; Gardeners; Upholsterers; Farmhands; Miners; Factory Packers and Sorters.
An individual's IQ score remains relatively constant across their lifespan. Recently researchers have been addressing a different type of stability (or instability) in IQ scores--the fact that IQ scores have been steadily increasing in developed countries over the past 50 or 60 years. The so-called "Flynn effect" provides for an interesting discussion of environmental and cultural impact on IQ. The effect is named after political scientist James Flynn, who has researched this effect extensively. Azar (1996) reports in the APA Monitor on a recent (1996) conference of experts that focused on reasons for the Flynn effect. The APA-sponsored conference was titled "Intelligence on the rise: secular changes in IQ and related measures."
A particularly striking statistic is that the average IQ of a 20-year old in 1996 is approximately 15 points higher than that of a 20-year old 50 years ago. Most suspect that the rising IQ scores do not reflect a change in g, the global intelligence purportedly measured by traditional tests. Rather, escalating scores are thought to be the product of more specific skills that allow people to excel on tasks like those included in these tests, along with improved socioeconomic status, better nutrition, and an increasingly technological society.

>>>"Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. "
Yeah, me and ol' Plato (minus the sodomy) Quite a conclusion from 2 pages of questions. The number that I got was substantially higher than other IQ results I've taken. My take on this: The test results are highly inflated and the "results" are just them blowing a bunch of sunshine up your tail in order to get you to buy the report. I notice that my results don't mention cynicism, funny they didn't pick up on that.

Hmmmm,
I took it a second time, this time answering a whole bunch of them incorrectly. I still scored 115 and earned the title of "Precision Processor."... with a little picture of Pythagorus...which is ironic considering that the only question which involved the Pythagorean theorem, I marked incorrectly.

Third run through, I answered all incorrectly but about 3 or 4 which earned me an 84. According to Aileron Girl's scale that's dullness, but my description reads:
>>>>"You have the unusual distinction of being equally good at math and verbal skills. This means you are a creative thinker and are uniquely good at teaching others through experiences. You are also a great improviser and very good at handling change."
This time the little picture was of Benjamin Franklin ... he would have been so proud.

Not to be insulting...
but I have yet to find a website that doesn't overinflate results in an effort to get the test taker to buy something (i.e. more specific results regarding their particular metal superiority). Any certified psychologist can administer a battery of exams that more specifically identifies comprehension and cognitive reasoning and places it within a range that is more realistic. I have done every online IQ test I can find and scored in the highest area, but when I did the real test the results showed me in the average category.

not bad for a "dumb cop"
Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results. Chas

Congratulations, XXXXXXX!
Your IQ score is 131
This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.
Your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
_______________________________________________
Thats funny, sounds like their trying to get me to buy something.
I did this same test back in Nov 03 around thanksgiving (the site pops up when your surfing airliners.net), my score then was 127 and it said the same comments about being visual and math oriented.
Visual and math oriented I'll by but the score, well it doesn't sound like someone who failed the first grade, graduated mechanical engineering with a 2.2 gpa and decided to stay at Allegheny when offered a job at Airtran. IQ = retard on the job decision.

I am so smart, S-M-R-T
What is your IQ if you place stock in an Internet based test?
How do you make money and sell official test reports? By telling people the truth, that your IQ is around 90, perhaps lower and by the way you are a dumba$$? Perhaps you'd do better by telling people they are above average, but not so much that its not believable.
This should stir the pot...
http://www.audiblox.com/iq_scores.htm
I'd put pilots with Telephone Operators or Electricians. Skilled labor. An average IQ of 100 to 110.
Apparently, the IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific occupation. In their book, Know Your Child’s IQ, Glen Wilson and Diana Grylls outline occupations typical of various IQ levels:
140 Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.
130 Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)
120 School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers.
110 Foremen; Clerks; Telephone Operators; Salesmen; Policemen; Electricians.
100+ Machine Operators; Shopkeepers; Butchers; Welders; Sheet Metal Workers.
100- Warehousemen; Carpenters; Cooks and Bakers; Small Farmers; Truck and Van Drivers.
90 Laborers; Gardeners; Upholsterers; Farmhands; Miners; Factory Packers and Sorters.

Took the test 5 minutes later, answered with the same answers I did on the first test and got a lower score. What gives? Like I said, they are trying to sell you something, so everybody is a gonna do well.

Yes there is an echo, and I am confident that every reader is sure of the fact they have an IQ of well over 100. Ok, guys that have taken the SAT or GRE use the table at
http://members.shaw.ca/delajara/GREIQ.html
and report.
My SAT was 1200 = IQ of 123 or 124 = 94 percentile.
My GRE was 1250 = IQ of 130 or 133 = 98 percentile.
Consistent yes, accurate is a whole different question. My wife would say I'm the bottom 50 percentile in our house.
I'd bet most pilots scored between 900 and 1100 on the SAT. Prove me wrong!

IQ test
I saw that same test elsewhere and scored a 126. It also said I had high mathematical ability. So, why did I suck in math in school?
At least as a pilot, you only need to know arithmetic and enough algebra to solve CG shift problems. And, you can take your whizwheel and/or electronic calculator to the written.

Here's a much more challenging one:

Sure bruised my ego after taking that one.

Your IQ score is 133
Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns.
