I have no idea. if I ever have taken an IQ test I don't know what was scored. I don't remember taking any IQ tests.

I do have a question however. How do we know the people that design professional IQ test are smart enough to test people who may be smarter than themselves in certain areas?

well, first sign would be you feel that section of the test was too easy, then maybe ask the doctor to test you more in that area? But seriously your IQ means diddily squat if you can't apply it in real life. For instance, it's been awhile since I've taken an IQ test but I dont remember them testing on common sense? and other areas of such. I think the way someone lives is a true measure of their intelligence.

IQ tests are BS.

People have a different aptitudes to different things...especially aspies, who will have extremely vast knowledge in a few subjects while lacking even basic knowledge and fundamentals in others.

For example, I am extremely good at history but poor at math.

The Unabomber is said to be an aspie, and he scored a 170 on an IQ test giving to him at a very young age.

Ranging anywhere between 113 and 155, so I doubt the reliability.

I once scored 125 as a score when I only managed to get through about one third of the test. I am really uncertain if it should have been scored at all in that circumstance.
