IQ Scores

Mine, that is. You folks wanted some background on my test scores, so I will give it to you.

1986, age 29: Well, my Mom was working for a clinical psychologist named Dr. R. in 1987. He didn’t do much therapy; most of what he did was testing of various kinds mostly for job applicants for companies. My Mom said he gave IQ tests, and she asked me if I wanted to take one. I said sure. I went there one day, and he administered an IQ test to me.

Afterwards, my Mom told me that he was walking around the office shaking his head and saying, “Very high. Very high,” like he couldn’t believe it was so high. He also said that in 20 years of giving IQ tests to over 600 people, he had only had ~10-15 tests with that high of a score. I asked her what the score was and she said he didn’t tell her. Instead all he said was, “Over 140.”

1971, age 14: I do not know when I took this test, and I do not even remember taking it for that matter, but I took all sorts of tests in school for all sorts of different things, and I don’t remember most of them. I assume that this test was taken in the first year of high school when I was probably tested for the Gifted program at the school. They called it MGM for Mentally Gifted Minors, and yes, I was in that program. Except we didn’t call it it Mentally Gifted Minors. Instead we called it Mighty Gay Men. You had to have an IQ of over 132 (top 2%) to get into the program, so that proves I have an IQ of at least 132.

I was in my counselor’s office one day in my freshman year of high school for some reason, and he winked at me and showed me a paper for a brief moment as if he was showing me something that he wasn’t supposed to be showing me. It had my name on it. It was a report of an IQ score. It had my name and IQ 147 written on it. I remember that because one of my friends, CL, has a name close to mine on the alphabet, and his paper was right next to mine  and I saw his score also somehow. He also had an IQ of 147! I forget if we talked about the IQ score or not. Perhaps we did, and perhaps we did not, I do not recall. I wasn’t real big on IQ back then, so I don’t have much of a memory of it.

So there you have it. I am going to call my high school soon and ask for a copy of my test score. I assume they keep these things. If I get it, I will see if I can scan it in and then report it to you guys.

I didn’t want to talk about this on the site, as I get in enough trouble for this IQ crap as it is, but Pumpkin Person is a big IQ guy and he and his fans have been encouraging me to get a copy of my test score, so hopefully I will acquire it for them.
