High and low iq's?

Post Reply New Topic

i've scored all over the map, from borderline ret*d to gifted. my test performance so far has been highly variable due to how i felt at test time. my energy levels could use more positive uniformity.

With me and exams it was a case of how I felt on the day.

Methods to influence/manipulate a high or low IQ.

Coffee, but really very strong heavy black coffee on an empty stomach in the morning.
It seems that during the night hours, dust is generated in my head that is ignited by coffee. And the interaction between those substances in my head and the caffeine in the coffee increases my IQ for fifteen minutes. The condition is that my stomach must be completely empty. Is there a bump of chips on my bed, and shortly after waking up I stuff those chips in for breakfast, which already works the coffee at a minimum. It has something that the coffee rattling through my brain briefly opens doors. As if I can see everything for fifteen minutes, all things become as clear as glass. This only works for me once, after that fifteen minutes I drink another heavy cup of coffee and it no longer works. Just as if I have to create new substances in my brain that act as a kind of dynamite to cause a peak in my IQ. It may also be that that morning coffee causes a strong sense of euphoria, and that I confuse that euphoria with IQ. If I am in a stress in the middle of the day or in the evening, coffee will be counterproductive again my IQ. Dammers and chess players also seem to benefit from coffee in their bloodstream. In a way, it is a kind of doping.

speed made me smarter, but so did strattera.

Like many others have posted, I had a large gap between my Verbal Comprehension Index (138) and my Perceptual Reasoning and Processing scores (89 and 90). The splits have had a major effect on my personality, I think.

They made me doubt myself, and be negative about my abilities. I always feel like I will underachieve, and am in fact unsure of what my real ability level actually is.

Usually I just blurt out whatever comes to mind, or text without looking over what I wrote---habits which have caused me a huge amount of trouble.

Paradoxically, I can be overly cautious in producing academic work or work product. Are any other Aspies "perfectionists" because they always feel they make mistakes, so they never quit revising and reviewing?

My God, coffee affects me in the same way! If I drink a cup, I am wired and focus like a laser for a short time. TWO cups, and I lose the benefit. I may even fall asleep!

I also take Strattera regularly, and it has helped me a ton

I've scored as high as 154 and as low as 116. When professionally evaluated I got 134 even though I had basically spent the last three hours smoking myself ret*d (circa ~17).

I got as high as 170 and as low as 135
I generally don't believe that IQ tests are that accurate, especially since it's heavily reliant on the assumption that the participant has a basic modern first world education. That is the main reason why third world nations have absurdly low averages on (often grossly misleading and improperly mandated) charts on international averages.

Has 130 become the new 100? A lot of forums, covering a variety of subjects , have threads where people post their IQs. One thing that stands out is the plethora of really high IQs that are mentioned .

mebbe there is something about online forums that attracts more high-iq types, than other places? mebbe the lower iq types are too busy working multiple jobs to keep a roof over their heads, to spend time online, thus skewing the results towards the higher iq types who presumably have much more free time to indulge online?

Me big brain

Me waste time on mongolian sweater weaving forum

i must not be very sharp, i waste so much time and get so little useful work done, i can't organize to save my life, i'm a hopelessly unhygienic slob whose residence resembles a disaster area. i know if i were smarter, i'd be wealthier by far and have my choice of arm candy. but i'm the way god made me.

For what it's worth I'm almost certain 154 involved a glitch because I've never scored anything close in any other setting.

I'm also not so sure it matters because I have the executive function of a small child so it's kind of like having a huge engine in a car with a dainty differential and bald snow tires on the drive wheels.

Most people have never taken a real IQ test. They post results from sh***y online tests, so the scores are completely unreliable.

That assumption doesn't make the tests inaccurate; it just means that the scores of test-takers who lack that education are unreliable.

I'm not so sure about that...I think the internationally administered IQ tests tend to be the "culture-fair" IQ tests, which rely very little on education. Of course they are not completely culturally neutral, but they are much more so than, say, the Wechsler.

What's your opinion about high range IQ tests?
