Does anyone know their IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

Same issue with me - though, my gap is not as large - I asked them to verbally tell me a rough score and it fell in the superior range.

i never give "eye cues" because i have no clue as to the cues that eyes should receive. there is no cue in my eyes, so i have no "eye cue".

god i am going to have to wake up in 4 hours and do stuff for 10 hours straight. i must go to bed and desist with these idiosyncratic ramblings i cast.

In 7th grade I scored a 148 +/- 4 pts on the test.

i'm not sure what i scored on my IQ test as the school decided not to tell me but they said it was in the top 1%. personally i don't care since it has no relevance on my life at the moment as a stay at home mom and i'm pretty sure i'm dropping points here and there on a regular basis just by not 'excercising' my brain. being a stay at home mother of children on the spectrum is increadibly challanging but it's not exactly rocket science so whatever my potential may have been I have not lived up to it.

Very few people with very high IQs "live up to their potential", which leads me to think that the idea that an IQ represents potential is itself a pretty ridiculous idea.

you are not disabled in your linguistic and conceptual intelligence as far as i can see.

anyway, "potential" is just that. it is not "kinetic", and it has no expression in reality. "potential" is in reality, but it has no expression because it is bound in pre existence .

Then you don't know me. At all. I have a limited ability to use language or concepts, I use them to communicate on boards like this, and then they disappear. As in, entirely disappear. As in, are not there, not even the tiniest little bit, not even the amount they would be in a person who has an "obvious" but steady-leveled impairment in the area (and yet has a much much stabler level of it, so actually in some ways finds it easier than I do). Every time that I have to use language or concept, it means I have to essentially climb a cliff, which I will fall off of every time. Please avoid telling me about myself in the future. It's offensive to go to all this trouble and then be told there's no trouble at all. And I haven't even gone into my receptive language, which is massively impaired in comparison to the best of my expressive language (and has always, always tested that way, because I literally learned to fake expressive language at an age when I had no receptive language or conceptualization at all whatsoever, but simply responded in a sensory-based way). If you don't understand this sort of experience, then don't pretend to be able to know about it by reading the best of my writing. I can't describe what a stab in the back it is to go to all this trouble to explain the problem and then be told there's no problem at all. (And you obviously haven't seen the many, many times that language slips for me in very obvious way while posting on these boards, either, or... so many, many other things that show it blatantly to anybody who actually knows what to look for, as opposed to making judgements based on superficial traits.)

no i do not know you it is very true.
i am sorry for disturbing you from whatever world you are in. now i must sleep so i am also beholden to an inevitability just like you are. no retorts please?

Mine is 141.

Small world!..it has been over a year, I think since Kemo for Emo played at SHFL...Running a venue and being on the spectrum is a sensory nightmare..it can be downright deadful. I have been doing this since 2003...I cannot do anything without noise cancelling earmuffs. There are people with whom I am flat-out unable to communicate with...I believe in what we stand for...but it has been a long rough going...and "cool" is not exactly how I would describe it....It can be cool sometimes...but really..it is very mentally taxing..

I have a low IQ. I have tested around 82, also known as Borderline Intellectual Functioning. I don't learn quickly, but was lucky in school. Very lucky especially in high school and college. I had extremely easy classes for the most part. The classes that actually required brainpower I struggled like an artist in. I was the worst student in Oceanography and German. I was the best student in Weather (in college) and Biology (in high school.) I studied constantly, 24 hours a day and stressed if I didn't get 100% on a test. I just made sure of it. I wish I was smart and I am high functioning autism rather than AS. In the past I have had an entire school system call me stupid. It scarred me for life and they doubted my abilities.

Either way, whether I let people know or not, I'm usually found to be a blooming idiot in the end so it doesn't matter. Although, I get off to a good start if I tell them!

I think people often infer various domains of intelligence from 'common sense', and you appear to have little deficits there (Or, if you do, far less than me.).

135

From two different tests I got 144 and 141, respectively. Although the scores were almost equal, I still don't believe it. If I were so smart, I would be rich and not nearly as socially inept as I am.

But it is a good score, I think.

you are smart not to believe the results.
i would think that if you were truly 144, then you would not be bothered talking about yourself with relation to your IQ score, and i also think you would have stated why you do not believe it, and you would not make such an ill considered statement as "If I were so smart, I would be rich and not nearly as socially inept as I am."

so slap yourself on the back. you are too "smart" to believe you have an IQ of 144.
