Randomchoice vs/guesstimating-trying to work it out-IQ test

Post Reply New Topic

I am not a mathematician/statistician and wondered what people thought about these results re random choice vs guesstimating/trying to work it out with two online mensa IQ tests.

Mensa DK= 80/94= 0.85 Mensa No= 97/116=0.84 .

The random choice seems too high and the guesses seem not very bright.
My score was 137.

I have a probable,though undiagnosed,learning difficulty with VIQ significantly greater than PIQ. I tend not to do well on non-verbal tests.

That makes sense for the low score. High IQ does not help in most situations anyways. Common sense does.

All IQ has done for me was convince people that I am a walking encyclopedia. Everyone always expects me to know everything about everything. If I never heard of it, they give me a half hour to become an expert. It is frustrating to have my knowledge taken for granted, and at the same time be left out socially.

I was an engineer in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of projects. I read and wrote the plans and blueprints to create them. When I use tools I make a lot of mistakes. My technicians would take tools out of my hands and not allow me to use them. I am awkward when dealing with people. My bosses would not let me talk to directly to clients. When I try to explain things, most people know I am speaking English, but its too technical to make sense to them. Social conversations are even worse.
