Oh man, big time!
I used to be a Creative Genius in my 20s and 30s.
My IQ was at least 20 points higher than it is now!
Slowly but surely, every year my intelligence is diminishing.
Years ago I was reading a book a day.
Today I can barely get off of the couch.
My IQ is still above average but Iām sure that it has dropped considerably since my younger years.

I donāt feel like an idiot. But if I took an IQ test, it would show that indeed I am.

I did good on the sats. I converted my sat score to iq and it was 128. Not sure how reliable that is though. Then I took an iq test and it was considerably lower. I think since I took the iq test my iq has probably recovered a bit though. I know you canāt raise iq much. But maybe when youāre floridly psychotic and you make a complete 180 it can raise a good amount.
I know even after being dxād I could read for a long time or focus on certain things for a long time. I think I was pretty smart. Lately I have diminished ability to focus on things.
Itās now rare for me to be able to watch/listen to an entire movie, long podcast, or basketball game without taking breaks. Sometimes it seems like I donāt āgetā things as fast.
Iāve been getting very absent minded. Iāll get up to do something, and Iāll forget what I wanted to do. I donāt know if and how that affects my IQ.
I know what you mean. Itās rough.
Hereās one test I like as it has nothing to do with language. Test away only 20 min. http://sifter.org/iqtest/
Im not even going to try.lol.
My IQ has dropped almost 30 points, since college, 34 years ago.

144 so mines gone up 5 pts, then again thatās probably down to being sober more than anything else! 
Cognitive will do ātip of tongueā too often for meā¦I hate DUHā¦
Do have kind of exhaustion mentality after hearing it non-stop for 13 years, medicated or not, and really just sleeping only with meds ā¦ My community started a really nasty hate mongering war on disability cases like ruining rape victims or screwing up people who just worked with big sex abuse ring the cops allowed here, and cannot talk any sense into these kind of trash canners as they started to vandalize people who just explained what āwent wrongā for us. Is city of 500k, so is not like you will run into same group of hate-nuts except at church/work. No way to possibly even respond to all the hate comments. Really doesnāt even serve ANYONE to be involved in my community, will only get yourself screwed so badly it might affect ability to work.
So when feeling the DUH thing come on, you know we have to just say NO and work/live a little slower to deal with all the extra stimuli bombarding us from inside/outside. Scheduled chill time is mandatory. But āhappiness theoryā does indicate most of us feel best if we are productive in some way so the āto doā list is good coping tool. Do your agree?
This is not an IQ issueā¦maybe to the point of age of onset of symptoms DOES REALLY affect our functioning and socialization for rest of life. I do admit the people hit by the symptoms younger who are usually males sometimes have limited functioning plus is just not that easy socializing later especially if you hit paranoid schizo and harassed so badly socializing, is just terrorizedā¦There really is a maturity issue with millennial generation for a while and some employers who just would not discipline their younger employees and ran like a hostile workplace. No discipline as children, mainly just pacified even into teens, made millennial workers a lackadaisical bunch at work. Hated to see article āhow to stroke ego on younger to motivate your millennial workersā, good amount of coaching then fired a few times gets point across better. No offense to younger peopleā¦may take a few hints from the older workers but ā¦may not find any older workers who are good role models any moreā¦just kind of screwed up themselves. Depends on location and job as the well-paid males who work for 2 hours a day and mess around rest of time are HORRIBLE example while the women are making $10 & busy every second of job cranking on something, wonāt give these kind of male workers any more work to help out as they are just not capable of giving a -hit about accuracy and will have to redo it.
But really, we are not building a compassionate and accepting society, this is hate and psychopathy especially what we schizos (who were likely normals) found out something about the world we are not allowed to admit we believe. Just feel better never getting noticed by any of the wealthies or bothering with complaints to politicians as only looks more and more threatening, no representation in govt anyway even with taxation. Can only look as our own existances as real - our responsibilities like family and our own health, our life supports like employment and housing. Rest is just someone else like politician making use of your money/support to further their own lifestyle & that of other wealthies, is just a fake mirage of lies for which the peasantry is used. Just go back home, close your door after work and care for self/family with a few luxuriesā¦Rest of the wealthies/politics aināt real to us (mainly lies) and better not to look too closely as poor get hurt, especially the possible concubines. Was better to never say or look differentā¦As the Jahova Witnesses recommend to their own, they donāt get involved in ANYTHING in community except their own church as is frequently just a wealthy looking for people to use and could be one hell of a hard useā¦As far as other protestant churches, you may get harmed for looking and finding it unethicalā¦Recommend you check it out a few times without using a nick name (never give DOB EVER so sadly) and do not tithe with check, to see if you are Atheist.
I try to watch brain TV and read more when the DUH overload hits.
I dont know what youre talking about? Are you ranting?lol
What was your IQ before that?
I donāt place much store by that test. I scored 117 Stanford-Binet which is about 25 higher than the previous highest I have got for a non language/verbal test and over 40 higher than my average.
For most of the questions ie at least 28 of them I didnāt have a clue and was essentially guessing.
IT would be flattering to say my nonverbal IQ is as high as 117 but that would be untrue,
I paid a small amount for the Culture fair test https://testyourself.psychtests.com
As you can see a much lower score for a non language test. This one falls just below the 56-92 range I have scored on such tests, not counting the one previously done that scored 117ā¦
Visual spatial test from same site.
Lost 20 points, now 126.

Thats a really good IQ. I heard of a who had an iq of 160 when he was in college and when he became schizophrenic he could barely pass his classes.
