IQ

[Baguette]

Done this IQ test and it explains a lot, apparently people with higher IQ's are more prone to depression because they overthink things. Wondering if anyone else has a similar experience? http://www.free-iqtest.net/score/4DA9/

I did an online IQ thing and I got 126. I have depression which I've had for years and I also have Asperger's which makes people have a higher IQ than normal.

It is true. Thinking people are more likely to be depressed because you can see the flaws with things more obviously. High IQ is not a blessing in our current society. There's a reason for this but I won't explain why. Normally high iq persons are of great value in society bc they invent things, solve complex problems, make life easier for others. But now intelligence is being destroyed in a variety of ways.

I also have Aspergers.

Guess I could say I fit that trend as I've done some paid tests which have all given me a score of around 131. That said I always take these tests with a pinch of salt; loads of people tell me they're doing IQ tests and getting scores of 140, 150 and above. Those are rare and very high scores, there's no way all these people have them, so I question whether these tests are a good evaluation.

I dare not do one, I know I'm thick as fuck and don't want it clarifying. I suffer from severe depression.

I attempted one a few months back and I answered all the questions and puzzles and then it wanted 50 euro's to give me the results, so I thought sod that,



Ps, what a terrible Avatar

I got 126, but I'm still dumb as a rock. Could never "see" numbers…

I went to a therapist and did an IQ test in my early 20's. I had a really low score, low enough that they put me in a learning disability program in the university I was in. It was below 100.

I told them my IQ was 126 as a kid but they said the therapist had done a different test that was in accurate and outdated.

This really affected me a lot to this day, just adding yet another reason as to why I hate myself so much, because I have low intelligence levels.

I was tested and found to be severely retarded, but I've been depressed for most of my life.

For what it's worth, I've never trusted these online things. The questions are nothing like those of a real IQ test that's undergone significant research to be sure the questions measure what they're actually supposed to. I've taken these sorts of things a number of times out of curiosity and my scores are always pretty significantly different from those I achieved on a legit IQ test. So. Make of that what you will. It's just pop psychology.

That was sort of fun, I wish these activities didn't chisel away at my already fragile self esteem.

I have almost grown to resent them because of mental health issues, a lack of proper education and stability.

Mine said 114.

It's not special, it's not superior.

It's not some serious IQ test, or a value of worth.

So..

If I had to guess.


I probably could have done "better" with more effort, or earlier in life prior to trauma and stupidity.
