what do you mean 100%? did you take the actual RPM and answer every problem correctly? if so, what was your overall IQ?
i'm referring to this post from a couple years ago...
How do you go with this Raven's IQ test?it was just an online test, and i got all the problems right. i've never had an official IQ test before.

That would be "hitting the ceiling" of a test, and it happens often enough. I hit the ceiling of the WAIS-III vocabulary subtest, for example, because I simply defined all the words they had on the test. It's not uncommon in autistics because we've got abilities all over the place, and some of them will be unusually high. I'm just good with words, that's all. I guess nicky's good with patterns. It's impossible to tell the IQ when someone hits the ceiling of a test because you can't tell whether that last question was the most difficult he could answer, or whether he might be able to answer ten more. It just means that the test is not broad enough in scope to properly assess your ability to follow patterns.
exactly, though it's not like it was some official test done by some professional or anything... and i don't think that test was very difficult overall, anyways... the problems were a lot simpler than the ones in this test, plus it wasn't timed. of course, the ones in this test were math-bases, and the ones in that test were shape-based, so i guess maybe i'm comparing apples and oranges.
