I think this should be published in a book called "The Quotable Blindspot149". Thanks for your post - I'm a year into being a consultant myself, and your last line was just what I needed.

My IQ was assessed as 139 when I was applying for the gifted and talented program at high school, which in the end didn't really exist.

I've had several real IQ tests in my life. I've scored between 160-175 on all of them. This might also be why they overlooked the hyperlexia and saw genius tendencies. Oh well.

Fake IQ tests on the other hand have a much larger disparity. I might have been diagnosed with retardation or very superior intellect based on my mood.

How to tell if you got hyperlexia with someone who is that smart? Precocious reading is quite common among people with very high IQs. So how tell the difference betwen from what come of your precocity and hyperlexia.
I will love to be as smart as you though. I bet I will know some very advanced stuffs in physics and in sciences. And I will had learned caculus and some very advanced mathematics by now. 8) (I had to give up CEGEP because of depression some years ago. :( )

I tested at 158 during my evaluation. I have many weaknesses, and do not think this number to be important.

144 On the last one I took. I think if I didn't study for a year it'd drop at least ten points, and if I studied around the right areas it'd rise at least 10.

Took the WISC at 7, scored as follows

Verbal IQ - 126
Performance - 104
Overall - 117

I may be the dullest one here. :P

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

I have floated anywhere from 147 to 165, depending upon the test and the circumstances.

I took a WAIS-III test when I was 17 and scored:

Verbal IQ: 121
Performance IQ: 130
Full-Scale IQ: 128

However, I want to get tested again because I'm almost certain that I can break the 130 mark. Long story short, I took the test under extreme duress and deliberately dragged it out as much as I could realistically get away with in order to maximize the time spent away from people who were making my life hell. (Don't ask.)

I also have a friend who's supposedly got HFA and claims to have an IQ in the 160 range. If you could hear the way he talks, you'd believe it...

I consistently come out in the 160-170 range.

In true Aspie blindspot tradition, when I was a kid I couldn't figure out what the fuss was about. "You outscored pretty much the whole country in your age-group," would only get a blank look and me thinking, "well, but the test wasn't all that hard, so it's not like I did anything special". And while my sister still recalls with pride when the MENSA invitations started showing up (she was very excited at the time), I was just puzzled -- it sounded like a spectacularly pointless organization to me.

I took the Mensa test about twenty years ago, scored 148 then and became a member (I still am a member, but I have never been inclined to attend meetings - i just read the magazine, it's interesting). I remember feeling considerably stressed by the testing environment and situation. I remember my mum telling that I was given an IQ test as a kid, too (I started primary school one year early), and that it put me above about 98% of the population.

I later got the diagnosis medium-severity adult ADHD, but I have several aspie-ish traits, too, especially when I remember to take my full daily dose of Ritalin regularly.
