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

Those online tests usually aren't too accurate, so don't dwell on it OP

But the question is, what was your score?

I'm guessing this is exactly what happened

Many IQ tests take time into consideration. Quickly answering questions probably scored you quite a few points.

I believe there are 2 lessons to be learned here.

It was purely chance that you scored better by picking answers randomly. What was your score when you took the test for real?

IQ tests also monitor how long it takes you. So if choosing answers at random made you a lot faster that's probably why your results came out like that

The ones online aren't necessary very accurate. Also, depending on how you did the first one, your brain would unconsciously choose the answer you though was right.

Usually these tests are timed and they give you a better score if you took less time, you probably took less time to randomly choose the answers

A lot of those "tests" score you on how fast you finished the test.
Dang you #8. You beat me to it...
