Is it legit? Is it not legit? Who cares!! Give it a go and share you final score... be honest.
I got 130, which apparently means "Smart ***" (that's 3 stars by the way)

Well. I'm not too sure how accurate this test is 
2014 IQ Test
Many years ago a friend and I used to sit at the back of a particular lesson and complete all the Eysenck IQ tests we could find. Subsequently I passed the Mensa entrance with 157. So, no it's all a load of bolleaux.
Mensa itself was full of superior self congratulatory weirdos, and Jimmy Saville.

Nice but I did try and answer the questions .
I guessed 2 of the math questions. One was a row of numbers going up to the left in 2 rows. I had no bloody idea what was missing. Can't remember which other one I guessed but I remember thinking 'well I've a 1 in 5 chance of it being right'.

This made me suspicious straight away.
IQ tests are meant to be "normalized" so that the average score is always 100. Someone of "average inteligence" would score between 90 and 110, or between 85 and 115, depending on the test. If "most people" are scoring an average of 95, the test isn't properly normalised.
My browser doesn't like this test, and woudn't properly show several of the questions. I eventually had to give up on the test as a serious exercise and was entering "I don't know" as the answer to a lot of questions. However, I still ended up with an above-average score of 120, which again seems rather suspicious,
Also, proper IQ tests are about how quickly you answer them. It's not clear if speed is being taken into account on this test.

Yes, having too much time to answer surely can't give an accurate result. I'm sure lots of people could work out an answer given as much time as they needed.

A good IQ test question is often described as one which anyone can answer given enough time, Your IQ is meant to be related to how quickly you answer a question - or more practically, how many questions you can answer correctly in a given time.
