I know that determine you IQ you must take an IQ test, I get that part. A lot of people like telling me their IQs and I feel pretty dumb because I don't know mine, nor have I ever taken a test.
Is there any type of free online IQ test I can take? I've tried googling them but I haven't found what I'm looking for. Also, do these tests tell you what they average IQ is. Or, you know, what's good/bad/awesome/average, etc.? If not, how do you know?
I feel pretty lame asking this because I should be old enough to know all of this (17/f), but I don't. Anything is helpful.
Additional info, added Sunday February 17 2008, 9:40 pm: I'd like to thank some of you who answered. I don't need anymore answers; I have found what I was looking for. I understand that what I wanted isn't really possible so I don't really need any more answers. Thanks. =]. Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?

A series of questions based on middle and high school level logic is not going to conclusively determine IQ.
What does that mean to you?
It means that IQ test websites were created to have a way to suck money out of stupid egotistical people who want to have something to brag about.
So, all your friends who are bragging about their IQs? They are victims of viral marketing, and have all paid money or given hits to websites designed to prey upon the vain and the naive. Its just the latest trend that someone learned how to make money off of. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]
Psycotheis answered Sunday February 17 2008, 5:14 pm: To tell you the truth, an IQ test isn't the best thing to take. It usually has generalized questions that poeple believe other people should already know by common and general knowledge taught in schools. When, in fact, everyones mind thinks in its own unique way. Usually there is a subject that someones mind will overall perfect while in another it shuts down completely. So, in other words, its most likely better to check out test sites that test you in SPECIFIC subjects. Because trust me, even a person with a extremely high IQ can struggle in certain areas in which the brain can't seem to comprehend when its actually so simple.
