What do you guys get on this IQ test?

Post Reply New Topic

In 2000 I got a free evaluation from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School for a number of autistic people being compared with NT people. The test lasted 3 days. My history is non-verbal till the age of 5 and presumed grievously ret*d, getting expelled from grade school and years later from a couple of graduate schools for reasons I could never understand and a couple of years in a detention home between the ages of 11 and 13.
They did three autism diagnosis tests including the celebrated ADOS-G and the Autism Diagnostic Interview.
NT people rarely vary more than 5 points between scores on the WAIS battery of tests. Between my highest score and my lowest score was a difference of 63 points. My highest scores were Verbal IQ, Full Scale IQ, Verbal Comprehension Index, and Perceptual Organization Index, 145 or 99.9 percentile; BUT, Visual Immediacy Index 78 or 7th percentile. My other scores were mostly closer to average. When I was in the detention home I concentrated desperately hard when they gave the Stanford-Benet test because I stupidly equated making good scores on tests would be equated with being a good enough boy to go home sooner.
Eventually, later in life, I went to a local state university where I took some free physics courses from the great science teacher shortage hoax of the 1980's and continued taking them through my first MS degree. Because I did not live on campus or close enough to campus for the wrong people to get offended I did not get expelled. (I did get a death threat to stop coming to class for being a weird (slang for subagitator which I leave to the reader to translate in deference to the rules of discourse here). So out of spite I signed up to take another course to get a second MS.
A few years later I signed up for the new PhD program in mathematical physics and applied mathematics and a visiting professor whose brother is severely autistic and non-verbal found out about me and protected me from politics that had gotten me thrown out of other universities and hired me to do research which led to my PhD in 2009.
I got hired as a visiting professor a few years later but I could not figure out how to protect myself from a supervisor who took advantage of me and stole too much of my take-home pay and almost got me into trouble for a car he totaled. He eventually would have caused me to lose my home which I own free and clear and the situation was so dangerous I quit.
I have always done very poorly in life even with advanced degrees and high scores on a minority of very isolated parts of the WAIS. I hope Vocational Rehabilitation teaming with an organization from the Autism Society of America which represents autistic people who can't do the job search and interview process successfully can help me find something to make ends meet when I see them at the end of the month.

IQ: 102
IQ Classification: Average
You made 16/38

Many of those were very challenging for me. If anything, I'm surprised I got that many right.

Very pleased with myself, I got IQ 143, 32/38.
But it took me along long time, probably an hour.
Persistence pays off!

I got 145 (33/38) so I guess pattern recognition is a strong point of mine.

Online IQ tests are more useless than clinical IQ tests. They don’t mean anything.

Clinical tests have to be more reliable because they are designed by full-time research professionals and administered by trained people. Online tests may want to sell people something and they may be designed to flatter their target audience. These non-professional tests are how people claim IQ's in the 160+ range. If you mention an IQ score you need to be prepared to present a written report of all the sub-test measures to give the best evaluation result set.
This, in the case you score high on a few sub-tests, and you ought to include the far less flattering low test scores too, presenting documents which anyone can verify protects people from fraud. Another example of the duty to do this is claims of military service and medal awards. People deserve the right to be shown documents and invited to verify these documents from a DD 214 to, in the case of the Air Force, the address at Randolph Air Force Base records of medals awarded to protect everybody from stolen valor. The same applies to university degrees. I think universities will verify degrees claimed for free but they might charge a couple of dollars for copies of transcripts in case one suspects a transcript presented is counterfeit. Claiming the title of "Doctor" is a common practice of junk culture music stars who never went to graduate school, e.g. Hr. Watson, Mr. Dre, and Mr. Luke.
In short, backing yourself up with official reports protects people from fraud and we should do it.

I got a 122 on this test, which is pretty similar to my professionally tested IQ of 121. I'm kind of surprised I did this well on this test, as my spatial awareness/nonverbal IQ tested 40 points lower than my verbal IQ.

I got asked for my name and email and then I got asked to pay $19.99

Fortunately I entered a bogus name and email.

I have reported this as spam.
