Last I did a proper test (WAIS III) was in 2007 and at that time I had a total score in the mean area, with the VIQ 1.5 SD higher than the PIQ.

I scored a 97 in 3rd grade. On the welchers test I believe. I don't know how to spell it.

My processing speed is pretty low (83) which is probably why im a slow learner. However, I did get a 110 on the perceptual reasoning which is high average. Everything else was in the mid 90s.

I think had my processing speed not been so low, I would have been in the 101-105 iq range.

I actually plan on taking another IQ test. This time when im a senior in High School. I have no idea what I am going to score. I will be guessing probably somewhere in the 90s. There is nothing wrong with having an iq in the 90s.

and first of all, online iq tests are not a good way to measure your IQ. I see a lot of people with high iqs posting on this thread. Chances are, many of these people took their iq test online which most of the time, is not accurate at all.

If you truly want to know what your iq is, you have to take a real IQ test. Like the Welchers or the Ravens idk any of the others.

And second of all, only like 3% of the population scores a 130 or higher. Im pretty sure more than 3% of all the people who have posted on this thread have "claimed" to have an iq over 130. I suspect that some of these people are lying

It's true! I got 107 in the IQ test I did when I was 11, and I got 127 in the last IQ test I did. They were both tests that psychiatrists gave me. In the IQ tests I do on the web I always score around 145, but I know that this is untrue because I don't trust the tests I find on the web.

Absolutely, in online IQ tests I end up with between 130 and 140, but those tests have not take into account all the same things as my WAIS did.

I also have a slow processing speed, which means I use longer time to understand and process at the university (can use a year when one is expected to use a half year), but when I first understand something I remember it for a much longer period that other students and I am able to process it in more sophisticated way than many of my peer students. So a slow processing does not have to be very bad, it only states something.

I think it's somewhere above 130 but probably not more than 160. I have seen numbers from cheezy online tests and academic type tests (it was ACT where I am, not SAT, but I took the PSAT) that aren't really IQ tests, but I've never seen the result of a standard respectable one.

On the subject of those tests, have you ever seen questions that were just a bit ambiguous and you had to waste time trying to figure out whether the more likely meaning was the only one intended?

112 on the Waeschler test and 148 on the Raven Matrices test. I. Can't. Do. Blocks.

I was also pretty depressed when I took the Waeschler test for my autism diagnosis. Depression kills IQ.

Back when I was 17, I took an IQ test in a psychology course (not sure which one) and scored around 135.

I'm pretty sure it's lower than that, though, maybe 115-120 at the highest.

Oh, about eleventy billion.

Just kidding.

I took the GRE a second time in the early 1990s and got 2200 - 800 Quantitative, 780 Analytical, and 620 Verbal. I don't remember what I got the first time which was in the mid 1970s.

That is supposed to reflect an IQ of about 145.

I've also taken two IQ tests online. One showed 143 and the other 160+. I suspect that the 161+ plus means that I aced the test. I don't think that means anything, though.

On the Weschler WAIS R I scored 134 with a substantially below average processing speed (27th percentile compared to 99th overall). Earlier in my life I scored 110 on the same test.

Well, it's a three digit number.
