Preparing for an IQ Test?

Question

Hello,

Never before have I had an interest in knowing my IQ, but recently my friends had begun to speak about their eternal-genius IQ's (yeah... right) so I was intrigued to find out my own. So, I ventured into the endless unreliability that is the internet and found my IQ scores varying from 98 to 161 (I wish the latter, hah.) So then after crushing my friend's dreams of genius by asking whether their tests were that of an online source I asked my personal therapist to administer an official IQ test opon me.

Now, besides the story and my attempt at comedy, this is the question; How do I emotionally prepare for what my IQ might be? Mainly, i'm worried that it will be too low and I will be generally disappointed with it. I feel I am an excellent writer, creative thinker and story-teller with superior memory (as I was told when I was 12) but i'm absolutely terrible at math and science yet pretty up to date on current events.

So, first thanks for reading this obnoxiously large question, and second; what do ya think?

By the way, i'm fifteen (almost sixteen) at the moment, if that does anything.

Thanks!

This question is really BIG! So now i post a BIG answer(it's revenge time!)hahaha

But let me first congratulate you for being such a good writer(it is evident from your language of the question).

Well let me try to answer this as simple as possible.

1.Be an optimist dude.

2. I'm sure you must have done a lot of iq tests at the end of which they give a detailed analysis of your test. They might tell you about your personality, shortcomings, strengths, etc. Try to cross-examine them and check whether you really are what they say.

As for the 2nd part of the question, i think you are pretty smart and shouldn't be weighed down by such concerns.

Answer 4

You sound pretty smart to me.  I'm sure you'll do fine. Just remember the average IQ is 100 so anything above that is great right.

Answer 5

Training your memory can help boost your IQ score a few points.
