No, most internet IQ tests are Fail anyway, but most of the fuel for Thor's ire is from failing at them.

IQ doesn't always mean a lot. I knew this one guy who had an IQ that was around 140 and he was a complete idiot.

No, it's because Thor knows that people's interpretation of a score as defined by an index that hasn't been updated since the mid 50s is not indicative of anything.

What does and IQ score test, and how does it test it? What does the result in a BMI measurement indicate? Learn the answers to those questions, and you'll be a step closer to understanding why both tests are bullshit.

BMI measurements are accurate if they take into account body fat percentage.

Otherwise, they're inaccurate since someone with a lot of muscle would weigh a lot but not be overweight.

Internet IQ tests are pretty much meaningless, professional ones given by a psychiatrist I'd be more inclined to take seriously.

Read up on the 'index' part of BMI to understand why it is probably one of the worst methods of determining fitness.

I hate IQ tests. Depending on the test, my IQ has a range of about 40. Especially Internet IQ tests! It's so unreliable and it's only supposed to be used for an estimate. I didn't take that one, so I don't have an IQ to post.

It's intriguing that it says the average person who takes these tests gets an intellectual quotient of 100, but everyone seems to have a score higher than that.

I concur with Thor, though. I've taken many IQ tests and, typically, I score in ranges that would pit me to be a super genius. But honestly, IQ tests don't serve as a true measure of someone's thinking capacity.
