Your numbers are off there on the lower end. An IQ of 115 puts someone at around the 85th percentile. Still high, but not that high. To get to the 93rd percentile you'd need to have an IQ of 122-123. Also, be wary of how you test IQ. I personally don't trust anything done online as they tend to want to tell you how great and smart you are. If they were to believed, half the population are the smartest %1 of people alive.
Right! It was off the top of my head,so much shit to remember! I was lucky and was taught early how to read. By top of middle school i was reading at a college level. 9th grade i was 6th yr college5th month reading level
My wifes a teacher and most kids in 6th grade read at about a 3 yr deficit. Im so angry what they do to our children! Shameful. Id love to teach but im a 20th century biker. So im like pure evil to the education system and the 21st century. Got the cooties bad. Just for being a free thinker!
Yeah. It's alright. I only really noticed because I've spent probably a bit too much time figuring out my IQ based on my ASVAB score, since that's the only intelligence based test I've ever taken in my life and I recognized the top 7 percent because that's where I am, which I believe equates to 122 or 123. It's not a perfect system either way, but it's a position I like to call, sometimes the 2nd smartest guy in the room, but usually, and unfortunately, the 1st. Depends on room size of course.
Much like you, I find myself with too much a rebel spirit. Which is ironic considering I was in the military at one point, but I didn't fit in there as well as they would have liked. A good thing in hindsight. Don't seem to fit in anywhere though. At least not in this broken and corrupt society.
Be not conformed to the world brother! Gods working in your life big time! Be that influencer,iv worked at my approach for years,for me its difficult not to get too excited or off on too many tangents. Ill talk in a hour long circle and most cant connect the dots at that point. And ill say it as a smart guy i cant deny Gods existence. Its definitely given me a new heart and direction. I see Jesus as THE rebel,he pissed off the bankers and control systems,and showed everyone the truth.
Dunno why im saying any of this its just coming outta me.
Much love n respect! shane
Never apologize for speaking the glory of Christ my friend. I spent most of my life agnostic, but had some spiritual experiences that made the existence of more than this world impossible to deny, and about 5 years ago found and accepted Christ as my savior.
Is that accurate? 122 is not that high. I am not gloating, but that doesn’t seem accurate. My sister and I were tested as kids and she is a fucking MORON. She tested at 132 and I tested at 128. I was also sobbing through the entire IQ test because I didn’t want to be separated from my mother (I was really young).
Anyway I think 130 and up is enough for admittance to Mensa, but looking at my sister’s score I just don’t know how accurate these stupid IQ tests are. So she got into the gifted kids school, and I didn’t — all based on an IQ test. She later failed out of college and got like a 1050 on her SATs.
Point being I am smart and most people are definitely morons, but a 120something IQ is not that impressive.
First off, don't put too much stock into IQ tests of children. I have a friend that told me that he has an IQ of 136. I asked him when he was tested and he said as a kid. I went into the Navy as a nuke, so I was around a lot of people as smart as me and even smarter. Some of those guys were so smart that it made me feel like a complete retard. I can tell you this, I've never once got that feeling from my friend. You said that you experienced a similar thing with your sister. Furthermore, child IQ tests tend to vary more, because it is comparing the child's development to other children of their own age, but that doesn't mean that development will continue into adulthood and leave them in a higher place.
As for saying that 122 isn't that impressive, well, why not? It's the 93rd percentile. Is it really not that impressive to be smarter than 93 out of 100 people? That's placing in the top 8, enough to make the semi-finals of something. If someone were to compete in a sport and got a record of 93-7, would you say that you're not impressed? It's over 2 standard deviations above the normal intelligence. What do you think of the person with an IQ of 100 then? Do you call them stupid, because that would be incorrect. They're the average.
