Firstly, there are "real" IQ tests on the Internet. You're on your honor about whether you adhere to the rules as you take them, but you can do it.

Secondly, "real" IQ tests are inaccurate to the point of laughability. The results are not without merit -- they are fairly decent approximations of how good you are at taking IQ tests. If you do well, you can rightfully feel as proud of the result as you would after doing well in any other exam at school. But it's not a measure of your "intelligence," and it's ludicrous and shallow to assume that these silly tests can even hope to measure something like that.

I say no more on the subject. We've discussed it to death here before, and the posts are still available to be read.
