I've only done one in any way "real" IQ test and that didn't give numeric result, just saying I was well above average in abstract and numeric test and (surprisingly) slightly above average in language part.
I once tried a book (I recall was supposedly approved by some institution of repute), but my result was off the chart. I think it ended to something like 150 and I had to measure and calculate that my score would mean 163.

Realistically, I believe I'm somewhere in 120's, 130's at best - in purely mathematical/logical IQ. That's my strong point, various other forms of intelligence... not so much.

And yeah, high IQ doesn't mean shit; I haven't gotten anything done in my life.



I'll just put it this way. It's high enough to where, if I'm in a room of a hundred people, and I somehow can talk to all one-hundred of them, I might be lucky enough to connect with one... at best (I can read people as if they were see-through, have a firm grip of sociology/physiology, and are not susceptible to group behavior). Couple that with ADHD and yeah. It's not all that pleasant. I try to view it as a gift, though, and use it to help people whenever I can (if they'll let me). Imo, it's the only way to go about it.

I don't know, I don't have the attention span to complete an IQ test.



No clue. Haven't ever done a test, discounting an online test or two I did as a child - you know, those that probably give unreasonably high numbers, like they did for me. The chances are that mine is actually above average, but without testing, I can't really know by how much. I'd be really surprised if it was at a genius level - I'm no von Neumann or anything.

IQ isn't real btw. If you must know my score. In school they tested us often. My scores ranged from mentally disabled to genius. I scored as low as 80 something then as high as 150. Sow which one am I? Neither? Both?  When each score was different, I started to question the validity of IQ tests as a kid in the 90s. For years I never believed in it. Then in 2012 this came out. https://www.thestar.com/life/iq-a-myth-study-says/article_eff5c719-f725-5c43-bbf4-3fc457c8f159.html

Human intelligence cannot be measured by a number. Human intelligence is too varied in function,behavior and physical traits. Athleticism is a type of human intelligence. As is various forms of behavior and situational. I don't have it front of me but a few years ago my friend was telling me about some of the racist roots in some IQ tests. In short, White people insecurity/bigotry. IQ just needs to be phased out as a concept.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone claim that "IQ isn't real", and I don't think your links support that claim either. The usefulness of IQ as a measure is what I've commonly seen doubted, however, and that's exactly what the links you gave seem to support. Personally I think IQ is a fun measurement of a portion of intelligence (loosely speaking), but of course it bears little relevance to the overall intelligence of a person (whatever that means, but it's definitely not as limited as IQ).



“The bottom line is: what makes one person different from another cognitively – what is often called intelligence – is too complex to be summarized in one single factor – the IQ,” said the leader of the study Professor Adrian Owen of the Brain and Mind Institute at the University of Western Ontario.

IQ tests just are BS. There isn't a number that can measure human intelligence. It's far too complex and relies on many factors a piece of paper is incapable of testing.

Most IQ tests are such that more you've done that type of tests, the better you get in them and keep scoring higher. While obviously just doing some puzzles hasn't magically raised your IQ.
It's judging fish by ability to climb a tree, as the old saying goes.



IQ correlates strongly with a person’s ability to analyze (and find themes) in qualitative data as well as developing models for analyzing quantitative data. But, it should be noted IQ isn’t a measure of knowledge or even critical thinking process, it’s just a measure of the potential tools for accumulating these things.

But asking people to self-report IQ is probably as pointless as asking people to self report on how good they look… not just because people will lie to improve how others view them out of vanity, but also that some doubt the existence of objective standards, even if there are good arguments for it.
