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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took an online IQ test, even though I knew they give everyone unrealistically high scores. My score was 73. FML
Today, I had a giant Scantron test. After putting 10 answers, I noticed every single answer was A. I got freaked out and started putting random answers. Turns out every answer on the test was A. I failed. FML
Today, I spent 16 minutes doing a “free” IQ test. I then found out you had to pay, and then spent another 20 on another. Now I feel dumb. FML
Today, I re-sat an expensive exam I'd flunked 6 months previously. The same impossible multiple choice questions appeared, which I'd been unable to find the answers to, even with all my textbooks and the internet. FML
Today, my therapist made me take a test to see what level my depression was at. There was a whole bunch of questions with multiple answers to choose from. One question was, "Do you find it harder to make decisions?" I couldn't decide which answer to pick. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
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 made a multiple choice exam so my friend could practice and get a good grade on his real exam. While I was helping him finish it, the teacher saw it, thought we were cheating and failed us both. FML
Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 a psychologist and regularly administer actual IQ tests. The online IQ "tests" are just for fun and are not valid assessments of intellectual functioning by any stretch of the imagination. Just laugh it off.

Agreed, but on that note, I feel like maybe taking an online IQ test so seriously in itself might be a sign of one's intelligence...

Online IQ tests usually show much higher scores than a real IQ test! Not accurate at all!

Should have secretly unplugged the computer before your friend saw

Unless you paid money for the test, the results are most likely inaccurate anyways. Don't take the results too seriously OP!

Those IQ tests are not accurate half the time. Don't focus on it too much.

Maybe you're just a good guesser?
