      Don’t try the test, I gave it a shot and it charges ten bucks for your results, which I think knocks twenty iq points off.

      I got 138 on another test which I think brings it to 118 after I fell for this, probably still an overestimate.

        You could go to your psychiatrists office. I had to be tested on 2 different forms of IQ for my ADHD diagnosis to be official.

            Based on their testing I’m simultaneously a genius and an idiot by different metrics. Lol. I need to find that paper in my medical records.

          I… uh… didn’t have to be tested for my diagnosis. I was majoring in both physics and math at the time and the psychiatrist didn’t think it was necessary. And honestly I’m grateful, I’m happier not knowing.

            Honestly, I should have told them I was majoring in computer science and math. It might have saved me some time.

        Yup. The scam goes you take the test out of curiosity, its probably not terribly accurate, but then they offer “results” after trying to make you sound smart, with things like “insights”

        There’s nothing significant past it. They phrased it that way to stroke dumb people’s ego,

          No, I got a score from a different test that still wanted money but they gave you a number without paying at least. I ain’t paying for that shit lol
