I took the 'international IQ test at international-iq-test.com
It's 40 questions, mainly puzzles with shapes and numbers. It might take you half an hour or longer.
I know online IQ tests aren't reliable but this one seemed to appear somewhat legit.
Spoiler alert: You spend over half an hour doing the questions, enter your email and then are told you have to pay $5 to see the results!
No way am I paying.
So my IQ is in question, literally!

Well, you didn't pay for it, so at least you that going for you.
On the bright side, it did stimulate my brain for a while. I do not use my brain a lot in my day to day life. I don't read anything that is very in depth.
I read a few articles from local newspapers, the boards on here and a few other articles online.
It's important to work your brain on a regular basis so the test did test me in that light.
Some of the questions I flat out guessed. Others were more obvious.
If you took the test, you failed.

Right after you say you don't use your brain a lot in your day-to-day life you say it's important to work your brain on a regular basis.
Proper IQ tests are more than 40 questions, and for adults are less a true "intelligence quotient" per se and more of a "where do you fall on the comparative bell curve relative to other adults within the tested parameters".
As an adult, what do you need to know this for? For a child, it can be a helpful tool in assessing school aptitude & placement. But for a grownup, why do you care?
Also, there are many dimensions of what we can call "intelligence" - most of these are not part of an IQ test, so the evaluation is quite incomplete and largely pointless.

Wow, incredible insight you have.. Is it important to post on Letsrun for you? How do you know if it's healthy for you? Have you consulted a doctor? It sounds like you might have a problem..

Greg, don’t get agitated. Don’t take these posts to heart.
You probably broke the algorithm by scoring too high

Yeah I don't think so. I think my intelligence for these tests is right around average. I would guess my IQ is 100-115. 115 might be generous because that is on the higher end.
I know
Greg,
You can't test quality into things.
You either have the quality or you don't.
In your case: Don't worry about the IQ test. Just start eating better, get your but out for a run and learn that damn piano. All that can happen without any money wasting for senseless IQ tests.

1. I do try to eat healthy. I'm not perfect, but today for example I've had a bowl of lentil soup, a wrap (whole wheat, low calories and high fibre) with garlic, cabbage/carrots/spinnach, chicken and cheese), a bowl of carrots, almonds, an avocado, some coffee and water. And a few cookies.
I've thought about getting a piano but can't bring myself to it. If I had hundreds of thousands of dollars, I'd probably invest in a good piano for several thousand. But I don't have that kind of capital right now.
I don't feel I have anything to 'learn' per say at the piano. I can always improve but I don't feel I have anything to prove to myself. Years of playing professionally and practicing 2-3 hours/day got me to a level I was satisfied with.
Eventually with something like that you reach a point where you become bored.
Even talking about it on here is exhausting. I know you mean well but I am able to make my own decisions and think for myself.
