I tried to do it, but about 2/3 of the way through the fact that it was timed overwhelmed me and made it difficult to concentrate. I hate timed IQ tests... I don't mind if they take time into consideration when judging it (they should), but don't put a ticking clock in the corner for me to look at. I think this is a common problem with Aspies, and therefore lead to a much lower IQ score than what is actually true.

I will have to try it again later.
I just finished it... I got a 122. I would have been better if it wasn't for that stupid clock (my official tests are higher than that).
i dont understand, my offical test from the psychologist is about 140, but ANY online test I take is EXTREMLY low...like 105...i want to shoot myself in the face

Don't worry, I got 99. On other tests I done as high as 138.

Hm, scored lower than on traditional IQ tests. 126.
I looked at each question and said "oh this question is too boring/tideous, im going to skip it and move on to the next one" (ADHD working GREAT for me there)

So I finished with over 20 minutes left in the test...maybe thats why i SUCKED!

Yeah, I was kind of pissed when they didn't have the explanations either. I wanted to figure out how those last ones worked.


If you want to figure it out doesn't it make more sense to take screenshots and then figure it out in your own time? (Admittedly you can't see the answers but perhaps you could post your conclusions here and see whether others agree?)

122 on this test which is a little disapointing as normally I score between 135 and 155 on IQ tests.
I'm off to sulk in a corner now.


Don't sulk, it's normal for people with AS to have a lower visual IQ than overall IQ (and in turn a much higher verbal IQ than visual/spatial).

I scored 126, lower than usual. At least for the last 3 I just guessed but obviously it didn't work. I had 10 minutes left – it's always like this. I just cannot "take my time", either it springs to my mind or it doesn't.

If some of you are looking for some other tests, what about these? Or that one?


Thanks for those links, shame the Spanish one doesn't really tell you *much* though. And the pics are so tiny that my eyes went a tad funny after a while Sad

I got 13 out of 18 I think, if I read that right.

133 on TestCafe, 11 on the Spanish.
Oh dear, only 101!  Would the fact that I have the flu currently have pushed it down?  I have been hitting the cough syrup pretty heavily today Big Grin
On my official IQ tests, I've always gotten between 115-130.  So it's either the flu, or I'm getting dumber in my old age!

I was discussing this test with my daughter today, and she said the reason I probably only got average was that it was visually based, rather than the written word.  I had to agree; thanks to my hyperlexia, I never have any problems with written logic puzzles ie:"All socks arefrogs and all frogs have four beaks; also some lights can cook and all that can cook have four beaks, and some frogs squeak.  All socks are lights, therefore some lights squeak."  True or false?  (It's true, btw, in case anybody has a problem with it!)  
But the visually-based puzzles I have to take longer over.  It's lucky the test wasn't maths or numbers based, or I would have gotten an IQ reading lower than George Bush!

I can't remember what I got, I think it was 108-ish, which I know is lower than my IQ really is.....  I kept getting frustrated with questions I couldn't work through quickly, and just answering them randomly.
It said that the problems got harder the farther into the test you went, but I didn't really find that to be true.  Some particular kinds of visual puzzles are very easy for me and others aren't, so even in the latter parts of the test, I kept getting some answers right away and others not at all.
I got bored after about six questions.   Once the figures got more complicated it took even more concentration to try and finish the test.  I only skipped a few because I just found that it was becoming annoying.  I did not score as high as I thought I would.
Usually i score 137.

On this one my score is 118 ! !
