IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

Mine's somewhere in the 150s. Only my parents, and I guess whoever calculated it, know the exact number.

Verbal IQ: 135

Performance IQ: 98


I was told that my verbal IQ is much, much closer to my actual intelligence then my performance IQ and that I am at the 98th percentile of the population.

on the tests i scored off the charts, (140+) so i'm probably a aspie, the wierd thing is on my IEP, it makes me look like a loser, even though i did well in school academically. high g.p.a. and done well on my own and job too. So don't take your childs school evaluation iep that seriously...cause it really doesn't mean jack (the scores that is) IEP is only there to help you get some support after school. But really i wish schools had more educational material based on science, engineering, computers, creative art, writing, (all the areas that aspies are good at)

Presumably, a reasonable IQ requires the ability to use ones real name?

Daniel, your uncle is right. And not only that, a proper IQ test is NEVER done in large groups (like in a class room for example). I would be ignoring BOTH of those scores if I were you - especially the second one! A proper IQ tester would not apply the test if you were in a constant meltdown situation either - knowing that it would affect the test results. They'd delay the test.

I got the test when I was 12, and my IQ is 153. Amazingly enough, I scored 153 in verbal IQ and 153 in Performance IQ. When I took the test, I took it completely alone (I mean, the psychologist and I).

I did mine alone with a qualified psychologist too.
My childhood records have been lost which is a real pity but I just did the test again just last Tuesday after all of 39 years. I will not know the results until next Monday. I will post them as soon as they come through.
I was about 15 when I did the last childhood test and it is surprising unchanged from the one I was put through last Tuesday. I also found it no easier or harder than the previous test. I was just as atrocious with working memory and just as good with pattern and matrix resolving. I am now aged 54 so there does not appear to be any evidence of dementia setting in. Surprising how fast 39 years has gone by LOL

Had to do one when applying for a job a while back, wasn't told the score but that I 'easily passed' what was required!

I know I was tested when I was in first grade, there I scored 160. Later in High School I remember taking a test and scoring in the upper 130s somewhere. I've heard that the culture free tests they have out there now are heavy in logic and lack language questions. I'd love to take one of those.

I never really cared much what my IQ was except for maybe something that made me better then the a**holes that I went to school with. I simply like the tests for the complexity of the questions. It's a challenge I guess.

Isotropic, I heard Einstein's IQ was 200 - not 160.

And I query your stats on 1/1000 people have an IQ of more than 150. I especially query your 1/100 stat on the 130!
