Whats your IQ? (NOT a 'OMG, I'm smarter than you thread!')

Post Reply New Topic

I find IQ tests tedious and so I don't have patience for them often.

I took one during a psychological evaluation when I was 13 (while freaking out). At that time I received a 117.
However, as a much better adjusted adult ~27 I took another IQ test and received a 142.

Took an IQ test at school last year and got 126.

Had one when I was thirteen with an educational psychologist:

Logic (Pattern recognition & problem solving): 136
Verbal/Reading ability (command of language basically): 142

Seems to be within the average range for WP I guess.

does seem all these replies are very good, excellent in fact. causes one to wonder , about contrasts
my little Sister whom was pretty much non verbal since birth , struggling to generate similiar sounds , to words you would say .or maybe a yes or no sound.To a question, she might decypher you asked . If not complicated.
ONLY IF ABSOLUTELY FORCED . Was almost un intelligble to all but the very trained ear .
Could "NOT do a IQ test ", even if you could make her understand ,if her life depended on it .
Here is the contrast .: Nothing sweet could be hidden from her in the home , we lived in, it almost appeared to be ESP type of thing . Then you add a quickly developed ability ( as a pastime) to do
jigsaw puzzles , eventually , She was doing 1000 piece puzzles within a hour or 2 time frame .
as she sat on the floor in area near the couch my mom would sit on mostly . Actually sat through , her 300 piece assembly of one of these puzzles all the way through . Just to fascinate myself .
Sat and wondered how it was she could locate each piece so quickly .
So .....? 'HOW' do you measure IQ under these circumstances ? .Inspite of living in what would be considered abusive circumstances..
