How to Calculate IQ
We all like to think that we’re smart, but how can we prove it? Calculating your IQ can do you a lot of good. Yes, having a high IQ gives you something else to brag about. A high IQ can also impress employers who look at those kinds of diagnostic tests before making a hiring decision.

Learn what IQ means. Intelligence is the raw ability one has to learn or figure out new things, and an Intelligence Quotient puts a quantifiable number on that quality. IQ is also used to classify people. An IQ over 140 means someone is a genius, while the average is between 90 and 110. Someone with an IQ below 70 may be diagnosed as someone who needs special assistance.

Convert test scores you’ve earned into an IQ. There are charts available at the "IQ Comparison" website that allow you to translate your SAT score into an IQ. For example, if you scored a 1300 on the SAT, that places your IQ around 131. This is a rough measure but a good way to get an idea of your SAT.

Apply to a high IQ society and take one of their entrance exams. Organizations such as "Mensa" allow you to register for and take a test to calculate your IQ. These may or may not be administered in person. The test will be quite similar to an online version, however.

Evaluate your child to calculate his IQ by visiting a specialist. A child’s IQ is calculated based upon his ability to recognize shapes and changes and their facility for solving simple problems. The child’s test, of course, is adjusted to account for age.

Don't know how I got on this (eat your heart out, Carl Gauss), but...I think much of intelligence has to do with the idea of innovation, eg, the first caveman to make friends with a wolf and call it a dog, the first caveman to build a fire, Dr. Fleming thinking to himself, "If I look closely at this mold, maybe..." Testing kids to fill in the blanks is how we create lawyers and soldiers. We have enough of both.
