Why has my IQ dropped?

Question

It used to be 112. Then it dropped to 100. Now just recently its 95. Why is this? Could it be my unhappiness? I feel as smart, if not smarter than I used to be. However I am certainly not as happy now than I was back then.

The first IQ test I took was when I was 16 and a half. Again this year which I am now 18. I took it again a second time to confirm the drop. What happened was it lowered by 5 points. Now I'm at 95.

Answer 1

If you were taking an online test, it was never accurate to begin with.

Answer 2

Your mood can definitely change how well your brain functions, however the changes to seem to be a bit big. Where these IQ tests ones you did on the internet? That would definitely explain it as some tests might be more challenging that others.

I don't think your IQ can change so drastically without having some form of brain damage. When your feeling like it, take some more tests and get a variaty of results, and if your feeling particularly unhappy don't bother with the tests as that could greatly effect the results.

Answer 3

A clear example of your brain on drugs.
