I obtained a score of 87, but I felt that there several factors that greatly impacted my overall score. To list my issues that likely impacted my score (with estimations on how many points they likely subtracted):

1. Anxiety Disorders (-10)
2. Lack of sleep (-2 since I still obtained 3-4 hours of sleep before I was tested meaning that it only had a mild impact)
3. Attention problems (-5)
4. Being horrid with tests and comprehension (-10)
5. Asperger's Syndrome as we're difficult to test sometimes (-10)

That adds up to to 124, but then I'll average that out with my score and say that I have an overall IQ of around 105-106 (which is alright). What's your IQ score?

142 on a standard childhood test.

My parents called me a ret*d, and I dropped out of school at age 13 due to bullying. I am beginning to think I actually have severe autism.

I don't think it is a flat line score.

Probably, generally, sometimes we are regarded as genius, and other times as "ret*d".

148 here. Still below average on language comprehension, though.

Yeah, it's weird that I'm likely one of the ones who obtained a lower score (I scored a 93 on a previous test as well). I wonder if it's possible that there's some gene that provides them with an IQ of like 130+ (despite the fact I've met a few who have scored below 90)?

I had two IQ tests one as a child was a Raven's Progressive Matrix and I scored an IQ of 137 and in 1988 I done a Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) test which I scored an IQ of 110. The latter one shows that I function about the upper average for the population and the former showed me to be suffering from mild mental acceleration so for me it's inconclusive. I'm pretty sure it would have left a few pretty red faces to find out that I was in the allistic range of intellectual functioning. :arrow:

My overall IQ score is "inconclusive" due to the huge gap between my verbal and visual IQ (52-point gap).

Mine is about 154. but does that really matter in this world. Sometimes I think that IQ scores are nothing more then just bragging rights in the sport of academia. Do they really have any real-world value to them at all. Just like Darwin said. It's not the strongest, nor the smartest that survive. It's those who are willing to adapt.

Agreed. I'm struggling in uni due to my disabilities and I'm not as successful as the other people from my secondary school. Although people say they see I'm highly intelligent when they meet me, it doesn't mean anything in terms of success. I subsist on benefits and I require support workers almost daily.

Undefined. Too much subscore variation and too much ceiling effect.

IQ as a single number doesn't say very much about how I think, so it's just not a useful measurement for me.

First tested, 114 with very high verbal ability. But I was soooo smart so I was obviously just nervous.

Tested again, high average again. But very gifted verbal, idk exactly what. No information there.

My IQ is 87 with a large subscore variation, especially due to my spatial abilities which is poor.
