It’s not good to know your own IQ. I once learned mine and since then have felt like an underachiever.
I don’t know my IQ Score either.
My parents decided it wasn’t important.
I find myself over compensating - just
in case I’m not very smart.
They learned mine early.
I took a battery of tests, including IQ, after the GCT test in boot camp because someone said it is not possible to get a score like that.
When I was in first grade the entire class was given an age-appropriate (I assume) IQ test. They never told my mom what my score was, but it was higher than most. I think there might have been a couple of others besides me, who scored in the same neighborhood. We were all called, individually, to the principal’s office and interviewed with a representative from the testing service. They asked me if my parents went to college, a lot of stuff that to a first-grader seemed out there. I had no clue why I was being grilled.
Later in highschool we had IQ tests and my score was 147. I suppose such personal data can be useful, but it’s so subjective. In our town we had a long-time employee (now deceased) with a reputed IQ of around 190. He was basically a gofer — an alcoholic, legally-blind and happy with his lot.
So who’s to say.
