I'm too ashamed to show WP how dumb I am.

Why? Is this some kind of "I bet I'm smarter than you" contest?

I don't know my IQ, and I never took the SATs. I did take the PSATs, though, and I think I scored better than about 80% of other test-takers in the Language Arts portion of the test. Does that count for anything? :lol:

Have yet to take SATs (I'm in 10th grade, so I think I'll take them next year or the year after. Or both.)
IQ... you didn't specify the test.

A few years ago i did the IQ test when it was on TV and i got an IQ of 139.

However, I'm 20 now and i did a free IQ Test on the internet (http://www.free-iqtest.net/) and got a score of 136 :/ (I'm getting dumber?)
Internet IQ tests have inflated scores and i still got lower.. It's not looking good.

Never did SAT.

I just wanted to know if it was true that people with Aspergers have higher scores than the general population.

I see now this is an extremely flawed test, as only people with high IQ and SAT scores are willing to post them.

Yes. Of course it is. :roll: If you have an issue with it, you're free to ignore it.

Personally, despite known biases and limitations of the tests, I found my IQ test results quite helpful in understanding a lot of how my brain works and my Asperger's, and why I need as much intellectual stimulation as I do and why I am more at ease in the company of other people with higher IQs. It's neurology, not snobbery. I know people who are defensive about IQ tests want it all to not matter, and maybe it doesn't for them. But it does to me. If you don't want to talk about it, don't.

Anyhow:

IQ--the last time I took a properly administered IQ test: 154, IIRC. In the mid 150's. High enough to tell Mensa to shove it. Highest score: verbal; lowest: math. Don't ask me which one it was--I can never keep the different tests straight. it's the one where 154 puts you in the top 1.5%. which ever one that is.

SAT--fuck if I can remember. It was disproportionately low to my IQ, because I had gotten no sleep the night before and the crowded, windowless testing room where we administrated the test made me freak out. They seated us in alphabetical order, so I ended up surrounded by big, football players who were joking that they just needed to get a 720 to get a scholarship. That's what I remember from that day. So I am going claim that I was adversely distracted by fluorescent lighting, intrusion into my personal space and imbecility.

I think the best thing I gained from my IQ tests was acknowledgment of my intelligence that I wasn't getting from anywhere else. My school work was not challenging for me, but my teachers barely noticed. They just thought I was lazy or uncooperative. Many times if an assignment bored me enough, I wouldn't see any point in me doing it, so I wouldn't do it at all, and my grades suffered. I put most of my mental energies into learning things outside of school--literature, writing, music, art. history, psychology--which of course I never got credit for. So the first time I took an IQ test, around age 14, I was surprised at my score. No one in my life ever acted like I had any intellectual talents. Then I discovered I did. It was a good thing.

Me too, despite the fact that the other way 'round is far more common (math over verbal)

I wonder if it's an AS thing?
