Huh, Domingo, how old are you ? Because IQ tests on adults do not measure the same thing as IQ tests for children and teens do for once.

The tests on children reflect a kind of intellectual state, for example, if you have a high IQ test at 10, it means that you may be able to understand concepts that an average child would be able to grasp only at 12. Though the same kid of 10 would still be 10 in emotional and artistic and physical ages. It is not so for IQ tests on adults, of course.

And Sazerac is also true, man, your score depends of the test itself, the conditions of the test, and your own state when you passed it. Consider it a photo of a small part of yourself at a given instant.

Besides, ditto to what LadyWendy said : you can't reduce the complexity of an human being to a mere number !

Or do we have to name you 145 now ?
