Answer 2

How about you do what you like best and don't let tests tell you what you can and cannot do.

Answer 3

IQ tests are designed in such a way that the majority of people fall around 100. One fourth of the people tested will fall about 125, another 1/4 will fall around 75. A very few will fall on the way outer edges around 145 or 10.  

If you really fall in the 75-90 range on an IQ score, college work will be difficult for you. Many people in that range will have trouble with high school level work. That doesn't mean you can't enroll and give it a try. Just be aware that you will have to work harder and may or may not be able to stay the course.

With that said, there is a kicker. IQ tests are really geared to people who read well. If you can't read and answer the test questions, it's hard to give the right answers to score well. If you are a slow reader and have trouble taking tests or if your native language is not the language the test was written in, your "real" IQ level may be quite a bit higher than the test indicated. This will give you a better chance at understanding college level work. You will still have to struggle with reading English to do the work.

Answer 4

A bachelor of arts in grave/ditch digging.

Answer 5

What are your grades in hs like?  What are your SAT/ACT scores like?  IQ tests depend on a verbal component and a performance component.  Either can bring down your composite score.  If you did well verbally, then you will not find college difficult unless you choose to go into engineering, art, or athletics.  If you did well on performance but not on verbal, then I'd avoid linguistics and literature.  But in general, IQ tests are best used to indicate your areas of relative strengths and weaknesses, rather than to decide your long term career.
