Your actual IQ score stays consistent


Nah. Plenty of evidence to show that it doesn't, but this common misconception still exists.

In 7th grade. That's too long ago to really be at all relevant now though.

Actually, IQ stays fairy constant throughout your life


Nah.

Your actual IQ score stays consistent but that's because it has an age handicap to compensate.

Your cognitive ability does decrease with old age.

100 at age 65 is less intelligent than 100 at age 25


Which is unrelated to IQ as the score you have is only relevant in relation to people the same age who took the same test.

It can change, for example, if you retest a 70/yo person with dementia against 70/yo people without it, but assuming nothing changes your iq should not be changing much regardless at the age you take the test.

Then wouldn't that be a failure of the IQ test to not provide accurate age compensation?

If you have a strong underlying theory that "intelligence" is some immutable characteristic, then any discovery of variation due to life events, such as increased education, would either demonstrate evidence against that theory or the measurement device. It seems unlikely that "intelligence" is immutable though, given that the brain is mutable. Though, I think the field of intelligence suffers from the inability to properly define their constructs.

yes, i actually went through a lot of my life thinking i was above average intelligence, but apparently i'm not: just got really used to using bigger words, but the actual quality of my thinking is very poor

It's actually not below average. An average score is considered 90 to 100.

interesting. it takes a lot to admit that. i think that's courageous, and it puts you into a position to advance your education and increase your IQ down the road.

it was the opposite for me. i always thought i was of low quality in basically everything, but my results were...really high. :/ like, in the top 5% high.

growing up people used to be mean and say that i'm dumb, that i don't know anything, etc. but now that i think back i wonder if perhaps they just felt threatened or something.

i'm sorry Porud, I lied :( i cannot bear the guilt

i don't get my IQ tested regularly, but on the other hand i do imagine it's close to low 90s

I got it tested when I was in like 2nd or 3rd grade, and I want to say it was...143? Not saying that means anything when you're 8 years old. That being said, if it was 143, I'm sure it's gone down with all the alcohol and caffeine I drink lol

One of my teachers in high school got really into the idea of finding gifted students. She brought in a guy one day to do an official one apparently. I scored 132 on that one.

The only other ones I've taken we're online ones just for fun, and generally get somewhere around 120-140ish, but I don't really out much stock into this. Everyone is smart in different ways, some are clever, others perceptive, some intuitive and quick learning, others are book smart or have some innate understanding of certain things. I don't think there's a way to accurately measure intelligence with just some test.

I've taken those "percentile" tests a lot...

I never get lower than 90% in any category, and a lot of them i consistently hit 99%
