As I'm sure you know, this is more of a gimmick to get your email address and personal info than anything. You have to be somewhat of a genius to succesfully navigate all their marketing offers (and some of those were pretty tricksy!).
I'm sure you are aware that online IQ tests are not very standardized, and standardization is the name of the game as far as IQ testing is concerned.
But the largest evidence of the inaccuracy of this test is the fact that I scored 155, when in reality, we all know that is shamefully low. :) Seriously, the last time I took a real IQ test (one of the Wechsler flavors) I scored a 138 (the test had a spread of 135-141, which actually seems like a large variation to me). I STRONGLY doubt that my IQ has increased by 17 points in 20 years. At that rate, I'll have an IQ over 200 when I die. Studies have shown that IQ typically does not vary a lot as a person ages.
If you are interested in a more "legitimate" IQ test, you can go to Mensa , if you haven't already.
It's fun, but ...
