Well, I took an online IQ test, I didn't look up the answers on "Google" or "Ask" or any other type of search engine, and I scored 125. Granted, this isn't a profound IQ score, it is still pretty good. My point in this is simply, yes, it is a flaw, but only if the user cares so much about his/her intelligence, that they would try and find SOME comfort in believing they are smarter than the rest, which I believe, isn't that many people, except for they few ego-tistic peoples in the world. So, I am saying that since we have an IQ test, and it is fairly accurate, leave it at that.

Cheating in the IQ test by: Anonymous
I think an IQ test is to see how able you are to solve problems etc. with IQ tests online, yes, you can cheat by googling the answers, but doesnt that just mean that an IQ test is too 'outdated' for this infomation rich world. lets use an example: 'jack' takes an IQ test and doesnt know how to solve 1 of the problems. he Googles it and gets the right answer. Doesnt that mean that he knows how to solve the problem ie research it, therefore he has a higher IQ, because of his ability to learn and think for himself? Im no doctor or psychologist, and i dont know the correct definition of 'cleverness', but im sure ones motivation to seek an out an answer or problem you dont know is a form of intellegence?
myself included, i did an IQ test and scored 127, but that doesnt mean i can spell and my grammar is terrible at best. i stand corrected, but i believe intellegence was sorted into 9 major types. maybe the IQ test is analysing too few of these to be a correct indication and should be improved...
