Online IQ tests are fun and I take them every couple months or so when I see a thread for them on 4chan anywhere. I tend to score between 130-145 with some outliers here and there on them. Today I only did 118 on this Mensa test, so I guess I didn't do well compared to what I would usually do. It is what it is. I could blame workplace stress, but still means I'm dumb.
I put zero stock in these tests frankly. I assume that I'm above average based on my life experience. Probably somewhere between 115 and 150 if I had to guess. If you put a gun to my head I'd probably say like low 120's on a bad or normal day all the way up to high 130's on a good day. That said, I'm no professional intelligence tester and this is me just guessing. Maybe I'm just a fucking midwit I just feel like I'm smarter than I am because I'm trying harder at it than most people.
In the end despite it being great at predicting success potential, it's always down to the individual to actually make whatever intelligence they have work for them, and of course there's a lot of luck involved too.
Being smart is really nice, but you have to be able to actually capitalize on it to make it mean anything.
