I do not know my IQ, but I do know that IQ scores predict a lot.
IQ is strongly related, probably more so than any other measurable human trait, to many educational, occupational, economic, and social outcomes.

It may be because the online tests are not valid, but it may also be because the average IQ of a person online is higher than the population average.

The "legitimite" IQ tests are meant to be delivered orally by a psychologist, and the responses are not multiple choice.

You are right. The IQ tests administered online are probably not legitimate, reliable, or properly validated. However, there are legitimate IQ tests that are administered on paper (not orally).

Intelligence tests are not reliable for testing intelligence? I'm not sure that your firend knows what s/he is talking about.
