I got exactly the same score as on the WAIS 4 test I took a few years ago. (Enough to qualify for a membership, I guess...) If you thought this test was a breeze, I think the chances are your IQ is pretty high. You can think whatever you want about that of course. One the other hand: if you got bored and distracted, lost your confidence, or just got a low score - don't read too much into it. These tests have a good correlation with other IQ tests but are not perfect. If you are neurodivergent, for example, some sub-tests of the WAIS can be much harder than others. You can still be really smart, but some situations may be limiting your use of that intelligence. It can also be that some aspect of your intelligence (I just think of it as having an "effective" mind) is weaker than you'd expect given your overall strength, so you could be compensating for it using the resources you do have. Here are my least favorite stereotypes around intelligence: - "High IQ means low EQ." If dealing with other people is hard for you, you might for example be helped by an autism assessment. You might be running the "neurotypical emulator", which is really costly on your hardware. It's also a shitty thing to say to people. - "Gifted kids get bored in school and might start getting into trouble." Well, smart kids usually have an easy time in school. If they're bored, they probably find strategies to cope. If they get into trouble more than the average kid, they might have other problems. Don't just let them deal with it themselves. Smart kids deserve help too, even though they seem to be more independent than others. - "High IQ means you're into X". Rubik's cubes aren't automatically fascinating just because you test high on an IQ test. Signalling intelligence might have a correlation with intelligence but there are also a lot of people (perhaps the smartest ones?) that have little interest in that. It seems like we're pretty poor judges of intelligence in general, but putting a lot of importance on it anyway.
