Today, my 11-year-old son and I took an IQ test for a laugh. To be honest, I've often suspected that I may have some form of mental retardation, but I didn't expect to get a score of 79, while he got one of 114. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took a legitimate IQ test and got a score of 80. My parents both have IQ scores above Einstein’s. FML
Today, I took an online IQ test, even though I knew they give everyone unrealistically high scores. My score was 73. FML
Today, we got the IQ test results back, which show our daughter is on the high end of the genius scale. This confirms what my wife and I have long feared: our 6-year-old is FAR smarter than we are. No wonder she wins all the arguments we have. FML
Today, my husband, who is proud of his 155 IQ, is depressed our son is becoming a typical football jock with an IQ only just into the triple digits. He even thinks I must have had an affair, because no way could someone as smart as him have produced such a blockhead with tattoos. FML
Today, my dad took my son out of his will, so I confronted him. Turns out he has a new policy of “not rewarding dumb behaviour.” He’s willing to put him back in the will, if he ever scores over 120 on an IQ test. I love my son, but he’s a happy goldfish, 120 is just never happening. FML
Today, to settle a bet with a friend, I took an online IQ test twice. The first time, I chose answers at random without reading the questions. The second time, I took it for real. I got a higher score from the random selections than from my serious attempt. FML
Today, my son is smarter than average, almost genius level, and he has now reached an age where not only does he question me at every turn, he actually out-argues me 90% of the time and I can’t do anything about it because technically he’s right and I’m wrong. FML
Today, my 50-year-old dad was in a foul mood after taking an online test that put him in Slytherin house instead of Ravenclaw where he "belongs" because he's "so smart". FML
Today, my mom was taking an online IQ test. To the question "On which continent is Canada located?" she responded "Antarctica." If intelligence is genetic, I'm screwed. FML
Today, I asked my father if it was okay for me to take an ADHD test. He spent about 30 minutes yelling at as to why that is a dumb idea. I have asked multiple people who know me better than anyone else and they believe that I might have ADHD. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Was it a genuine IQ test or a shitty one from the Internet? Cuz you can't exactly call those accurate.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Probably not.

If you think a thesaurus is a dinosaur, you might not be smarter than a 5th grader.

Most IQ tests are knowledge tests and not IQ tests. I'm sorry but what does knowing the Capitol of Ghana have to do with my IQ? Also nurture your kids love of puzzles if they have one. Makes for interesting thinking patterns later in life, and usually a decent amount of nurtured common sense.

Actually, most IQ tests are logic puzzle tests, sometimes with a bit of maths. NEVER heard of an IQ test having any general knowledge in it.

I, too, have never seen general knowledge on an IQ test I've taken. It should be mostly logic and math, like 15 said.

Some kids are smarter than adults; don't be sad. At least you're skilled in parenting.

Unless this was a qualified test performed and graded by a professional, I wouldn't necessarily quantify it as fact.

Doesn't sound like your son. Time for a very different kind of test.
