People tend to score higher when they're younger.

I used to have to take IQ test to qualify for my IEP and I always scored in the 140s. On this I scored 130.

I don't know exactly why but I assume it has to do with a few things.

for instance: your piers catch up to you. People who are naturally gifted at this sort of thing might not grow as much while people who aren't learn to be better at it and close the gap, which in tern raises the standard for 100 and lowers your score. IE, when you take these tests for school the average you're being judged by is set by a bunch of retarded children and teenagers.

You almost certainly just developed earlier than the other kids. Once their average raised, which it does quite enormously, you stopped being as much of an outlier. 130 is still quite high anyway, that puts you as among the smartest 200 people in a 10 000 strong university.

They make it "culturally neutral" so that they can give it to loinclothed hunter-gatherers without being labeled racist, and thus it is butchered to meet a standard other than ability to effectively measure intelligence. It is so far removed from human ideas of intelligence that it is basically irrelevant.

You could be a wizard at logic (prose or symbolic) and run right into a wall with an IQ test because it measures your autistic affinity for geometric forms and nothing else.

Just to let everyone know, this is not a very good tracker of IQ.

Clicking the answers at random got me a 95, which means there is most likely no chance of getting retarded level (~>70)

So yes guys all your scores were inflated. Which doesnt surprise me considering that this IQ test was from MENSA. An organization built around stupid people who think their smarter than they actually are feeding them money.
