Below freezing and yet still exceeds the capabilities of a large majority of the world population

IQ is a bullshit, pseudoscientific, easily manipulated measurement that doesn't mean anything.

 

[Lady_V]

idk. all those little internet tests want me to pay for my results.

Even funnier if you're using Celsius.

 

[enough of this]

High normal. Nothing to write home about.

I got to take an official test for free to help out a psych student friend, and it came out to 127.

 

[Not Today Satan]

69420. Beat that, peasants!!

 

[heydude56]

Somewhere between 110~120 iirc

 

[Unlucky777]

Not high enough to want to continue living.

I think I maxed out the free mensa (lol) test with the psychologist, I think I got 137 or 127? and then was asked if I wanted to do the full paid version that can measure more?? and I said no, don't remember but apparently there was a paid version that I didn't bother to take anyways because it seemed kinda boring to me. But that is only pattern recognition isn't it??? What does that have to do with intelligence, I played games at the time, lots of games, lots of puzzle games, lots of strategy, fast paced, etc.

Obviously when you're gonna give a pattern recognition test to someone who plays games and is also autistic/adhd and steps into "the right tiles" on the side walk as they walk or looks at the tiles on the bathroom floor and walls and gets angry that they are not perfectly alligned, they're gonna score close to the max. That just means they like to see cool patterns and follow them because they're interesting.

Anyways, if IQ test is basically pattern recognition and that's it, it's kind of a shit test, that doesn't prove anything intelligence wise. I just like patterns and puzzles.

[Praestat_Mori]

I don't know my IQ.

 

[Bitch With An Apple]

132, on the dot. I was tested as a kid, then tested about a year ago. I'm surprised there was no change at all in overall score. But there was a huge change in components. I used to score very high on the math/logic side, but lowish on verbal. My most recent evaluation, it was the complete opposite. Tracks with my lived experience and how I prioritize things now. Pattern recognition was consistent throughout. Total score ended up the same.

 

[In4rope]

Shitty that is for sure.

Still waiting on the test results. I had a full neuropsychological panel done recently for an ADHD assessment.

I was told by the neuropsych at the follow-up appointment that I "did very well" but also that my scores (on the other stuff as well, not just the IQ test) were all "within normal range", so I probably scored somewhere between 110-130, which is consistent with when I had my IQ tested in middle school. Will update once I finally get the formal results. The clinical term is "bright average" -- booksmart, but not a Mensa candidate. I'm a nerd but not a rocket scientist. Meh, no one can afford to go to space right now anyway.

130+

I forget but it was decent.
But it's bullshit. My entire life has been a series of choosing poorly, recently I made perhaps the worst choice ever. So who gives a fuck about iq if it turns out you're just horribly stupid.

 

[tulero]

not enough to thrive in live but enough to realize how a shit being alive is

 

[X-sanguinate86]

Not high enough to want to continue living.

This. This was going to be almost my exact answer. Not high enough to change things enough that I have a reason to live.

 

[Green Destiny]

Bad, very very bad. So bad that I probably shouldn't have graduated high school when I look back on just how much help I needed to pass while being in Special Education classes.

 

[Seneca65AD]

Based on the online tests, supposedly high. Based on the Law School Admission Test from approximately 35 years ago, 83rd percentile of those who took it. Based on law school marks, about room temperature. We had a saying, A students made professors, B students made judges, C students made millionaires - so even in law school, marks did not necessarily define success.

I don't put a lot of stock in IQ tests, or conventional testing even. In my opinion, taking a test is not a measure of intelligence; it is a measure of your test taking ability.

 

[Dark Moon]

I took an online test recently and I got 124 but I don't know if it's accurate or not.

 

[cemeteryismyhome]

high. But it's meaningless, stupid people are generally happier and more successful.
