On-the-Web I.Q. tests - and knowledge tests for the brainy - that I like and can recommend, on the basis that all are educational or brain-exercizing.
On the first, I've done as well as 129 [...and, more recently, 148. Maybe I'm better, maybe they made it easier...? ]
- May 1 2000: UNIX IQ Test, and Uproar Java quiz applet added. The UNIX test is not very easy, but I passed it ( - if 70% and above-average is a 'pass'.) And I've registered and played at Uproar.com, and can say it's a good quiz site, not too easy but I've won there.
- May 2 2000: Depression Test added. - Not IQ nor skill related, but actually not a bad diagnostic tool about your life in general. (If anonymity worries you, try doing it several times in a row, only once giving honest answers; answers aren't hard-copied and you don't need to register on the website.)
Trivia quiz site with high scores refreshed weekly. Some of it is rather primary-school level, but others actually take a bit of brain or knowledge (or web-search ability... one quiz set can be solved 100% of the time with proper use of a certain search engine, I won't say which!) Especially the Biology quiz - definitely requires high-level knowledge to get any kind of score at all on it. See me there, as "R_Hess".

...Note, May 2 2000: trying it on April 11 several times, I find that if
your score is 8 or (from answers indicating very good spirits etc.) 3, it just says "normal for an elderly person".... but if questions are answered to produce a score of 22 (very bad), it says you need psychiatric help.... so "This is normal for an elderly person" is a * g o o d * prognosis.
