How Reliable is your IQ Test ?

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

If given an exam or test the first thing that comes in mind is “Is this a reliable test?” Especially if its measuring something. The test is reliable to the extent to which a you can repeat the test and still yields consistent scores. For the test to be valid, a it must be reliable; but reliability does not guarantee validity.

There a potential error in every measurement procedures.So the aim is to minimize it. An observed test score is made up of the true score plus measurement error. Determining the variability in test scores due to variability in true scores and measurement error is the goal of estimating reliability or consistency.

In measuring the score, it is usually random. The score of a certain individual might not show the real score because of some conditions while taking the test, like being sick, having a hangover, they’re anxious and the environment contributes to the condition too like a noisy room, very humid room temperature and more.

Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to measure and is subjective judgment made on the basis of experience and empirical indicators.

Validity asks “Is the test measuring what you think it’s measuring?”

IQ tests has become highly popular with the amount of tests available online in the past years and of today. It is just sensible to ask if the results of your online IQ test is reliable and valid.

IQ test taken online is not one hundred percent valid. IQ tests online is for amusement and the results should not be taken too literally. But the questions given to you online are very similar to the real IQ test administered by another person.

Online IQ tests are great tools to practice and good predictor of what your scores may be. Having an overview of the intelligence you have is great to give you more confidence. Its better to take two or three online IQ tests and get the average of your score.

A person is always advised to get real test if they wanted a valid result. Like for example look for the local Mensa club. Time limit in real tests are more strict and not to mention greater stress.
