<p>In middle school, my IQ was 128. Two points off from the 130 required to get into the Gifted and Talented program. ■■■</p>
<p>But why do you want to take an IQ test. There’s no point other than telling others your IQ is so and so. Bragging rights? IQ is just a way for super smart people to feel special about themselves. =/</p>
<p>I once had to take an IQ test to take dual enrollment classes at a local college. (The IQ test was irrelevant for the program itself, but all participants were part of a psych study on gifted education.) Unknown to the test administrator, the multiple-choice answer sheet became part of the exam. The rows in the first column were labeled 1-10, 41-50, 71-80, with no formatting indicating a break (no extra space or line or anything like that). Rows 21-30, 51-60, 81-90 were in the second column and the remaining ones in the third. Several of the students taking the test did not notice the break and used the first column all the way straight down. At which point we had moved onto a different section and weren’t allowed to go back and change our answers.</p>
<p>That was the first time that the gifted program admitted a group of mentally ■■■■■■■■ students.</p>
