I just sat an IQ test and scored 124. Considering i didnt put to much into it im impressed. I just checked and heres a table of whats what.
Grade Range Percent
Genius >144 0.13%
Gifted 130-144 2.14%
Above average 115-129 13.59%
Higher average 100-114 34.13%
Lower average 85-99 34.13%
Below average 70-84 13.59%
Borderline low 55-69 2.14%
Low <55 0.13%
Considering its been a while since i last did any real maths thats quite good . With a couple of practice runs im thinking i could hit 130.
Hey marley, you wanna sit a real IQ test! You might be surprised at how well you do.
They tested me once at the hospital 'cos they wanted to see how much effect the Epilepsy medication (ie 'stupid pills') were having on my mental processes
although, since they hadn't tested me before they put me on any of them damn pills then the results could only be of limited use. The WAIS III IQ test & WAIS memory test combo is 3 appointments, each of which is 3 hours length (ie. 9 hours total). & each appt leaves you feeling like you've been stretched, rolled with a cricket pitch roller & then ploughed. They wanted to test me again later after they'd changed my medication but i told them where to go.
OH, & the real IQ scale stops at 140.
The scale up there is a load of rubbish invented by pop IQ tests of the type used on the internet (& I believe, in American schools)
In the real tests they give you the results seperately for each of the different types of thinking that they test for. The 'IQ' itself is just an average of this but in real terms is of little use. It is quite possible for someone to have low levels in visio spatial thinking (for eg) & yet genius levels in analytical processing & there are a considerable variety of types of thinking patterns & no-one has the same results in all areas. As such the overall IQ can be very misleading.
Just a little bit of random trivia
