By the end of the week i need to take iq test. Test is for a training course in web development.
Huge opportunity for me, but i will fail. My iq was 119 at the beginning of psychosis, but i feel it dropped significantly.
Such a shame.

I think there are cognitive tricks you could use to try and score better on the tests, that may actually improve your functional IQ.
IDK maybe I’m wrong. I used to do iq tests all the time in my twenties for fun, and ended up scoring pretty well in the actual test. My doctor at the time said my iq may be even higher after taking meds. I don’t know what he’s talking about.

My IQ is so low that I can create only super stupid threads 
My IQ is 69 which was tested by a psychologist (Wechsler) in 2010. I think they got it wrong and when I asked my pdoc recently about having another test he said it wasn’t in my interest as I get much better support in the learning disability services than mental health services which I think is true.
The neuropsychologist who tested me estimated my IQ to be around 120. He also said I have a hard time harnessing my intelligence due to the cognitive impairment I experience now since my psychotic break.
So I’m smart, but it doesn’t really do me any good anymore.
That’s not true. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I like your threads.

Definition? There are many different ways of being smart or dumb. These tests are pretty good predictors of academic success, much less so of success in other areas of life.
Please make sure your IQ is being measured by an individual IQ exam, not simply the book and answer sheet version. Then you will know what sub-categories are strong or weak and can go from there. An educational psychologist would be the type of professional to see. You may be very smart in some areas and not so much in others.
Online tests are as accurate as horoscopes; as accurate as you want them to be. That is, “real” IQ tests are taken in a controlled, supervised environment. They are also interpreted by professionals who take int account the test-taking environment. Automatic, on line tests o none of that.

My IQ was tested in university and it was 140.
32 years later and i can barely string words to create a coherent sentence. My pdoc and I talked about cognitive impairment and how it is often overlooked as a very significant part of mental illness. Even before i finally got the right diagnosis my mind was failing consistently. Anyway a high IQ has never really done anything for me.

In college, before sza, my IQ was tested to be 122 points. So, I was above average 35 years ago. In 1993, I had my IQ tested by a psychologist and my IQ was 100 points. So, it had dropped 22 points post sza. Today, my pdoc refuses to test me again saying it is not in my interest to do so. But, he gave me a cognitive exam in his office and diagnosed me with mild cognitive impairment.
Don’t worry about IQ, just worry about perseverance, that is the deciding factor on what a person will accomplish.

I think IQ is ■■■■■■■■. In the future, they can change it. Just learn to be happy I guess. As long as you’re in the normal range, you should be fine. If you’re above average or superior, good for you and you should take advantage of it or be happy.

I met a guy with an IQ of 158 who was totally disfunctional. I believed him because he knew a lot of vocabulary that I didn’t, and I have a good vocabulary. He was a mess.
I’m a mess. Not dysfunctional but a weirdo. What is worth having a high iq if the mind does not work well?
Here you are an example:
In Spanish iq is ci

I don’t know my IQ, but my EQ is improving steadily. I wouldn’t be so attached to IQ.
